During the course of existence different types of energies flow through the human organism. Each type of energy has its own system of action. Each type of energy manifests itself in its own time. The motor and muscular force manifests itself four and a half months after conception; this is related to the birth of the respiratory and pulmonary function. At ten and a half months occurs growth with all its marvellous metabolisms and conjunctive tissues. When the child is between two and three years old, the fontanel of the newly born closes and the cerebro-spinal system is completely formed. The human personality is formed during the first seven years, and at 14 years personal energy appears and, flowing domineeringly through the sympathetic nervous system, sex appears at 35 years in its transcendental form as creative emotion. It is upon reaching this age that we can make what is called Soul. The common man does not have a soul, or rather, he still is not a true man; he doesn’t even have a soul. The intellectual animal falsely named man is a machine controlled by the legion of the EGO. This is pluralized. "I must read a book," says the intellectual function. "I am going to a football match," says the motor function; "I am hungry, I shall not go anywhere," states the digestion; "I prefer to find a woman," says the EGO of passion etc. etc. All these EGOS argue among themselves. The ego that today swears faithfulness to Gnosis is replaced by another that hates Gnosis. The ego that today adores a woman, is later replaced by another that hates her. Only by making the Soul do we establish a permanent principle of consciousness within ourselves.  He who has Soul lives consciously after death. The Soul may be created with the accumulation of the finest energies the organism produces and the crystallization through supreme efforts, to make one Self-conscious in a total and definitive way. Unfortunately, the intellectual animal called man wastes these energies stupidly on cravings, anger, fears, hate, envy, passions, jealousy, etc.It is urgent that we create conscious will, it is indispensable that we subject all our thoughts and acts to INNER JUDGEMENT. Only in this way can we know ourselves in depth in order to create Soul. The Ray of Death The Ray of Death reduces so-called man to a simple molecular quintessence, in the same way that a ton of flowers may be reduced to a single drop of essential perfume. Because the energy of death is so strong, it destroys the human organism totally. It is a current of such high voltage that it inevitably destroys the organism when it travels through it. As a flash of lightning can tear a tree apart, so the ray of death reduces the human body to ashes. It is the only type of energy that the body cannot resist. This ray connects death with conception. The two extremes meet. When the essence is detached from the old body on the terrible impact of the ray of death, a tremendous electrical tension is produced on a key note, the axiomatic result of which is the movement and combination of the determining GENES of the future physical body. This is how the fine constituents of a fertilized egg are arranged in the corresponding order, having electrical tension and the key note of death for a basis.  What Continues Two things go to the grave. The first is the physical body, and the second is the human personality. As we have already said, the latter is formed during the first seven years of infancy and is strengthened with experiences. Sometimes the personality wanders through the cemetery, or leaves its grave when the mourners visit and bring flowers. But the personality soon disintegrates. The personality is energetic and atomic. The personality is perishable. There is no future for the personality of a dead person, it is mortal. |
In the human organism there is a thermo-electrical magnetic body. This is the vital body. This body is the seat of organic life. No organism could live without the vital body. Each atom of the vital body enters into each atom of the physical body, to make it vibrate intensely. All chemical, physiological, and biological phenomena, all phenomena of perception, all metabolic processes, all action of calories etc. have their basis in the vital body. In fact, this body is the superior section of the physical body, the TETRA DIMENSIONAL BODY.

Quote of the Moment
“Dictators of the mind are as widespread as weeds. There is everywhere a perverse tendency to enslave the mind of the neighbor, to bottle up it, to force it to live within determined norms, prejudices, etc. The thousands and millions of dictators of the mind have never wanted to respect the mental freedom of anyone. If someone does not think as they do, they classify him as perverse, renegade, ignorant and so on.”-Samael Aun Weor, Fundamental Education
The Tower of Babel
