MYTHOMANIA
The I is not always perverted, sometimes it assumes it is a saint and does charitable deeds such as bequeathing his estate, before dying, to a Hospital of Charity or to his sect, religion or school where he belonged; all the while with the ambition of earning heavens for himself or to have a statue built on his honor. Many long to evolve quickly, to liberate from the sufferings of this world; many long not to be angry, they aspire not to covet, they yearn to be chaste, diligent, moderate in their eating, sober, virtuous, etc., in order to attain happiness. The I loves to dress with robes of a saint, in order to be venerated and to be set on altars...

LA MITOMANIA
El Yo no siempre es perverso, a veces presume de santo y hace obras de caridad y lega su herencia, antes de morir, a un hospital de caridad, o a su secta, religin o escuela a la que perteneci con la ambicin de ganarse el cielo o que le levanten una estatua. Muchos ambicionan evolucionar rpidamente para liberarse de las miserias de este mundo; muchos ambicionan no ser colricos, ambicionan no codiciar, ambicionan ser castos, diligentes, parcos en el comer, mesurados, virtuosos, etc., para alcanzar la felicidad. Al Yo le encanta vestirse de santo, que lo veneren y que lo pongan en los altares...

*** It is worthwhile to emphasize something painful that we have been able to verify through many years of devoted observation and experience. I want to refer to MYTHOMANIA 1 , without using any unnecessarily language, which is a very prominent tendency among people affiliated with different metaphysical schools. Some individuals (who are apparently humble) become mythomaniacs over night after a few hallucinations. Unquestionably, such persons with a subjective psyche always surprise many candid people, who in fact become their followers. A mythomaniac is like a thick wall without a foundation: a little push is enough to make small sediment of him. A mythomaniac thinks that all of this (concerning occultism) is like blowing glass to making bottles and from one moment to another: he declares himself to be a Mahatma, a Resurrected Master, a Hierophant, etc. A mythomaniac commonly has impossible daydreams, he invariably suffers from what are called delusions of grandeur. This kind of personage happens to introduce themselves as reincarnations of Masters or fabulous legendary fictitious heroes...
Mythomania: A compulsion to embroider the truth, engage in exaggeration, or tell lies.

*** No est dems enfatizar algo muy penoso que hemos podido verificar atravs de muchsimos aos de constante observacin y experiencia. Quiero referirme sin ambajes a la MITOMANA, tendencia muy marcada entre gentes afiliadas a diversas escuelas de tipo metafsico. Sujetos aparentemente muy sencillos, de la noche a la maana y despus de unas cuantas alucinaciones, se convierten en mitmanos. Incuestionablemente, tales gentes de psiquis subjetiva casi siempre logran sorprender a muchos incautos que de hecho se hacen sus seguidores. El mitomano es como un paredn sin cimientos: basta un leve empujn para convertirlo en menudo sedimento. El mitomano cree que esto del ocultismo, es como soplar y hacer botellas y de un momento a otro se decrara Mahatma, Maestro Resurrecto, Hierofante, etc. El mitmano tiene por lo comn seuelos imposibles, sufre invariablemente de eso que se llama delirios de grandeza; esta clase de personajes suele presentarse como reencarnaciones de maestros o de hroes fabulosos, legendarios, ficticios...

However, it is clear that we are emphasizing something which deserves to be explained well. Some egoic animal like subconscious centers (which in the interrelationship may follow specific mental groups) might provoke, by means of fantastic associations and reflexes, some things like spirits, which almost invariably are only personifications of our own pluralized I. It is not, then, that uncommon for any psychological aggregate assume a jesu-christian form in order to dictate false oracles. Any of those diverse entities, which as a whole constitute what we call Ego, may be able (if it wishes) to take the form of a Mahatma or Guru and then the dreamer (when returning to the vigil state) will say to himself: I am a Self-Realized Being, I am a Master. It must be observed, in this respect, that within the human subconscious (of every person) the latent tendency is found that encourages personification. This is why many Asian Gurujees, before initiating their disciples into Transcendental Magic, are prevented against all possible forms of self deceit The dreamers, those who are asleep but assume themselves to be awakened, not only harm themselves, but also injure their fellow beings. I believe that the sincerely mistaken dormant 2 who dreams that he is awake, and the mythomaniac who considers himself to be an Illuminated one, can (and customarily does) harm more of humanity than someone who has never in their life entered into our Gnostic studies. We are talking in very harsh language; however, you may be sure, dear reader, that many hallucinating dormants (when reading these lines) instead of stopping for a while to reflect, to correct and rectify, will find the way to misappropriate my words with the evident purpose of documenting their insanities.
2 Dormant means Lying asleep or as if asleep; inactive, but in this context it implies one who is psychologically asleep or one who does not have an awakened consciousness.

Empero es claro que estamos hacienda nfasis sobre algo que merece ser explicado. Centros egicos de la subconsciencia animalesca, que en las relaciones de intercambio siguen a determinados grupos mentales, pueden provocar mediante asociaciones y reflejos fantsticos algo as como espritus, que casi invariablemente son slo personificaciones del propio Yo pluralizado. No es pus extrao que cualquier agregado squico asuma una forma jesucristiana para dictar falsos orculos. Cualquiera de esas tantas entidades que en su conjunto constituyen eso que se llama Ego, Puede si as lo quiere tomar forma de Mahatma o Gur y entonces el soador, al volver al estado de vigilia, dir de s mismo: Estoy auto-realizado, soy un maestro. Se debe observar, al respecto, que de todos modos en el subconsciente humano (de toda persona), se halla latente la tendencia a la toma de partido, a la personificacin. Este es pus el motivo por el cual muchos Gurujis asiticos antes de iniciar a sus discpulos en el magismo trascendental, los previenen contra todas las formas posibles de auto-engao... Los soadores, los dormidos que suponen estar despiertos no slo se daan as mismos, sino que trambin causan graves daos a sus semejantes. Yo creo que el equivocado sincero, el dormido que suea estar despierto, el mitmano que as mismo se califica de Iluminado, en verdad puede y suele hacer a la humanidad muchsimo mas dao que aquel que jams en su vida ha ingresado a nuestros estudios. Estamos hablando en un lenguaje muy duro; empero podis estar seguro, querido lector, que muchos dormidosalucinados al leer estas lneas, en vez de detenerse un momento para reflexionar, corregir y rectificar, buscarn slo la forma de apropiarse de mis palabras con el evidente propsito de documentar sus locuras.

Unfortunately for this human ant hill; these pitiful people have within themselves a bad secretary who misinterprets the Gnostic teachings (I want to refer myself to the pluralized I, to the Myself). The most comic part of Mephistopheles3 is the way he disguises himself as a saint; it is obvious that he derives pleasure from being set on altars and being adored. It turns out to be pathetic, and evident, to comprehend in depth that while the consciousness continued bottled within the pluralized I, it will not only sleep, but worst of all: it will sometimes even have the poor inclination to dream that it is awakened. The worst kind of madness happens from the combination of mythomania and hallucinations. The mythomaniac type is someone who presumes him or her self to be GOD, he or she who feels super-transcended, who wishes everybody to adore him or her. These kind of individuals, when studying this chapter, will associate my words with some one else and will think they have already dissolve the I, even when they still have it more robust than a gorilla. When a dormant-mythomaniac works in the FORGE OF THE CYCLOPS, you can be sure that pretty soon he will abandon the work saying: I already achieved the SECOND BIRTH, I am already liberated, I have renounced Nirvana because of my love for humanity, I am one God! It becomes dreadful to see the mythomaniac (the hallucinating-dormant) prophetizing craziness, slandering the neighbor, pointing out others as Black Magicians, etc. This is dreadful: devils judging devils! Those who are almost perfect dont want to realize that in this painful world, in which we live, it is impossible to find a saint. Everybody is more or less black; there is no way to be white while the demon, the pluralized I, stays within the body. To be spreading around news that somebody is fallen is certainly a poor joke, because in this world everybody is fallen; to slander people and destroy matrimonies with false prophesies is only for those hallucinated people who dream they are awakened.

Para desgracia de este pobre hormiguero humano, las pobres gentes tienen dentro de s un psimo secretario que mal interpreta las enseanzas gnsticas (quiero referirme al Yo pluralizado al mi mismo). Los ms cmico de Mefistfeles es la forma como se disfraza de santo; es claro que al Ego le place que lo pongan sobre los altares y que lo adoren. Resulta pattico, evidente, comprender a fondo que mientras la consciencia contine embotellada entre el Yo pluralizado, no slo dormir, sino lo que es peor: tendr algunas veces el mal gusto de soar que est despierto. El peor gnero de locura resulta de la combinacion de la mitomana con las alucinaciones. El tipo mitmano, es aquel que presume de Dios, que se siente supertrascendido, que desea que todo el mundo lo adore. Esta clase de sujetos, al estudiar este captulo, le acomodarn a otros mis palabras y pensar que ya disolvieron el Yo, aunque lo tengan ms robustos que un gorila. Cuando un mitmano-dormido trabaja en la FORJA DE LOS CICLOPES, podis estar seguros que muy pronto abandonar el trabajo diciendo: Yo ya logr el NACIMIENTO SEGUNDO, yo estoy liberado, he renunciado al Nirvana por amor a la Humanidad, soy un Dios!. Resulta espantoso ver a los mitomanos, a los dormidos-alucinados profetizando locuras, calumniando al prjimo, calificando a otros de Magos Negros, etc. Eso es espantoso: diablos juzgando a diablos! No quieren dares cuenta todos esos dechados de perfeccin que en este mundo doloroso en que vivimos, casi resulta imposible encontrar alguna vez un santo. Todo el mundo es ms o menos negro; de ninguna manera se puede ser blanco mientras el demonio, el Yo pluralizado est metido dentro del cuerpo. Eso de andar diciendo por all que fulano de tal est cado, es ciertamente una broma de muy mal gusto, porque en este mundo toda la gente est cada; eso de calumniar al prjimo y destruir hogares con falsas profesas es propio de alucinados, de gentes que suean estar despiertas.

If, in reality, somebody wants to awaken him or her self, they must resolve to DIE from moment to moment (practice meditation in depth) in order to liberate from the mind. Right here, at this Gnostic Movement Patriarchal See, we constantly receive letters from many dormants saying: My wife, or John
Doe or Jane Doe, etc., is in great evolution, is a very old soul, etc. Those poor dormants, who

Si alguien en verdad quiere autodespertarse, que entonces se resuelva a MORRIR de momento en momento, que practique la meditacin de fondo, que se libere de la mente. Aqu a esta Sede Patriarcal del Movimiento Gnstico, constantemente me llegan cartas de muchos dormidos que dicen:
Mi mujer, o fulano o sutano, etc. est muy evolucionada es un alma demasiado vieja, etc.

speak like that, think that time and Evolution can awaken them, Self-Realize them, or lead them to liberation; those peoples dont want to comprehend that Evolution (and her twin sister Involution) are two exclusively mechanical Laws of Nature that work in a coordinated and harmonious way in all creation. When one awakens ones consciousness one comprehends the need to emancipate from those two Laws and to get onto the path of Revolution... We want awakened people, firm and revolutionary; in no way do we accept incoherent, vague, imprecise, tasteless and odorless phrases! We must live alert and vigilant as the guard in times of war; we want people to work with the Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness. We feel sorry for many sincerely mistaken and sleepy individuals who only work with one of the factors and, unfortunately, many times use that one wrongly... We need to comprehend what we are: poor sleeping animals, machines controlled by the Ego.

Esos pobres dormidos que as hablan, piensan que el tiempo y la Evolucin pueden despertarlos, Autorealizarlos, llevarlos a la liberacin; no quieren comprender esas personas que la Evolucin y su hermana gemela, la Involucin, son exclusivamente dos leyes mecnicas de la Naturaleza que trabajan en forma coordinada y armoniosa en todo lo creado. Cuando uno despierta consciencia, comprende la necesidad de emanciparse de esas dos leyes y de meterse por la senda de la Revolucin... Queremos gentes despiertas, firmes, revolucionarias; de ninguna manera aceptamos frases incoherentes, vagas, imprecisas, inspidas, insaboras e inodoras! Debemos vivir alertas y vigilantes, como el viga en poca de guerra; queremos gentes que trabajen con los tres factores de la Revolucin de la Consciencia. Lamentamos tantos casos de sinceros equivocados y dormidos que slo trabajan con un factor, muchas veces mal usado desgraciadamente. Necesitamos compren-der lo que somos: pobres animales dormidos, mquinas controladas por el Ego...

The price of illumination is paid with our own life. In the sacred land of Vedas there are CHELAS or disciples who, after thirty years of intense work, are found only at the beginnings, in the prologue of their work.

El Precio de la iluminacin se paga con la propia vida. En la tierra sagrada de los Vedas hay CHELAS o discpulos que despus de treinta aos de intensive trabajo, se encuentran tan slo en los comienzos, en el prlogo de su trabajo.

THE AMOUR PROPRE (CONCEIT) Much has been said about feminine vanity. Indeed vanity is a living manifestation of amour propre4 (conceit). A woman before the mirror is a complete Narcissus: adoring herself, idolizing herself with madness. A woman adorns herself the best she can, she dyes and curls her hair only so others will say: You are wholesome, you are beautiful, you are divine!, etc. The I always enjoys when people admire him, he adorns himself to be adored by others. The I thinks he is beautiful, pure, ineffable, saintly, virtuous, etc. Nobody believes to they are bad, everybody considers themselves to be good and fair. The amour propre is something terrible. For instance, the fanatic materialists do not accept the Superior Dimensions of Space because of amour propre. They love themselves too much and, as is natural, they demand that all the Superior Dimensions of Space, of the Cosmos and all the ultrasensible life submit to their personal whims. They are not able to go beyond their narrowed criteria and theories, beyond their beloved ego and their mental precepts. Death doesnt solve the fatal problem of the ego. Only the death of the I can solve the problem of human pain, but the I loves itself and doesnt want to die in any way. As long as the I exists the fatal wheel of human tragedy, the wheel of Samsara, will keep on turning. When we are indeed in love, we renounce the I. It is very rare to find someone in life who is truly in love. Everyone is passionate, but that is not love.

EL AMOR PROPIO

Mucho se habla sobre la vanidad femenina. Realmente la vanidad es la viva manifestacin del amor propio. La mujer ante el espejo, es un narciso completo, adorndose a s misma, idolatrndose con locura. La mujer se adorna lo mejor que puede, se pinta se encrespa el cabello con el nico fin de que los dems digan: Eres hermosa, eres bella, eres divina! etc. El Yo siempre goza cuando la gente lo admira, el Yo se adorna para que otros le adoren. El Yo se cree bello, puro, inefable, santo, virtuoso, etc. Nadie se cree malo, todas las gentes se consideran buenas y justas. El amor propio es algo terrible. Por ejemplo, los fanticos del materialismo no aceptan las Dimensiones Superiores del Espacio por amor propio. Se quieren mucho a s mismos y como es natural exigen que las Dimensiones Superiores del Espacio, del Cosmos y de toda la vida ultrasensible, se le sometan a sus caprichos personales. No son capaces de ir ms all de su estrecho criterio y de sus teoras, ms all de su querido ego y de sus preceptos mentales. La muerte no resuelve el problema fatal del ego. Slo la muerte del Yo puede resolver el problema del dolor humano, pero el Yo se ama a s mismo y no quiere morir de ninguna manera. Mientras el Yo exista, girar la rueda del Samsara, la rueda fatal de la tragedia humana. Cuando realmente estamos enamorados, renunciamos al Yo. Es muy raro hallar en la vida a alguien verdaderamente enamorado. Todos estn apasionados y eso no es amor.

Literally: Self-love; it is arrogance, pride or vanity.

When passionate people find someone they like, and when they discover the other person has the same mistakes, qualities and defects, then their loved one becomes a mirror in which they can totally contemplate themselves. In reality they are not in love, they are only in love with themselves and they enjoy looking at themselves in the mirror of the loved one; they see themselves and then they assume that they are in love. The I enjoys being in front of the crystal mirror or feels happy looking at himself in the other person who has his same qualities, virtues and defects. This is pretty much how preachers talk about the truth, but is it (by any chance) possible to know the truth when there is conceit within us? Only by dissolving conceit, and only with the mind free from assumptions, can we experience (in absence of the I) that which is the Truth. Many will criticize this work about the Revolution of Dialectic. As usual, the pseudosapient will laugh about these revolutionary statements because of the crime that these teachings do not conform to the mental hypothesis and complicated theories stored into their memory. Erudites 5 are unable to listen to the Revolutionary Psychology with a spontaneous mind free of mental hypotheses, theories, preconceptions, etc. They are incapable of opening themselves up to something new6 with an integral mind (and without a divided mind), due to the quarrel of antithesis. Erudites only listen to compare with the hypotheses stored in their memory. Erudites only listen to translate according to their language of prejudices and preconceptions, and come to the conclusion that the teachings of the Revolution of Dialectic are all fantasy. Erudites are always like that, their minds are already degenerated, they are unable to discover the new. The I, in its own arrogance, wants everything to coincide with its theories and mental hypotheses.
Erudite: having or showing deep, extensive learning; Characterized by profound scholarly knowledge; 6 Literally: being open to the new
5

Las gentes se apasionan cuando se encuentran con alguien que les gusta, pero cuando descubren en la otra persona sus mismos errores, cualidades y defectos, entonces el ser amado les sirve de espejo donde puedan contemplarse totalmente. Realmente no estn enamorados del ser amado, slo estn enamorados de s mismos y gozan vindose en el espejo que es el ser amado, ah se encuentran y suponen entonces que estn enamorados. El Yo goza ante el espejo de cristal o se siente feliz mirndose a s mismo en la persona que tiene sus mismas cualidades virtudes y defectos. Mucho es lo que hablan los predicadores sobre la verdad, pero, Es acaso posible conocer la verdad cuando existe en nosostros amor propio? Slo acabando con el amor propio, slo con la mente libre de supuestos, podemos experimentar, en ausencia del YO, eso que es la verdad. Muchos criticarn esta obra de la Revolucin de la Dialctica, como siempre, los pseudo-sapientes, se reirn de los planteamientos revolucionarios por el delito de no coincidir estas enseanzas con los supuestos mentales y complicadas teoras que estos tienen en su memoria. Los eruditos no son capaces de escuchar con mente espontnea, libre de supuestos mentales, teoras, preconceptos, etc., la Psicologa Revolucionaria. No son capaces de abrirse a lo nuevo con mente ntegra, con mente no dividida por el batallar de las anttesis. Los eruditos slo escuchan para comparar con sus supuestos almacenados en la memoria. Los eruditos slo escuchan para traducir de acuerdo con su lenguage de prejuicios y preconceptos y llegar a la conclusin de que las enseanzas de la Revolucin de la Dialctica son fantasa. As son siempre los eruditos, sus mentes estn ya tan degeneradas que no son capaces de descubrir lo nuevo. El Yo en su soberbia quiere que todo coincida con sus teoras y sus supuestos mentales.

The I wants all his caprices 7 to be fulfilled and wants the Cosmos (in its totality) to submit itself to his laboratory experiments. The Ego abhors anything that hurts his amour propre (self-love or conceit). The Ego adores his theories and preconceptions. Many times we despise someone for no reason. Why? Simply, because that person personifies some errors we carry within (very well hidden), and we are unable to like it when others one exhibit those errors. In reality what we accuse others of, is what we carry within. In this world: nobody is perfect; every one of us is cut with the same scissors. Every one of us is a bad snail within the womb of the Great Reality. Whoever doesnt have a defect in one area, has it in another. Some people dont money, but they covet fame, honors, loves, etc. Others may not adulterate with someone elses woman, but enjoy adulterating doctrines and mixing creeds in the name of Universal Fraternity. Some men are not jealous of their own wives, but they are jealous of friends, creeds, sects, things, etc. This is the way we (the human beings) are, we are cut with the same scissors as everyone else. There is no human being who doesnt adore himself. We have listened people who enjoy talking about themselves, for hours and hours, about their wonders, about their talents, about their virtues, etc. The ego loves himself so much that he even envies anothers well-being. Women beautify themselves with many things, in part because of vanity and in part to stimulate the vanity of other women. Everybody envies everybody. All of them envy someone elses dress, the beautiful necklace, etc.

El Yo quiere que todos sus caprichos se cumplan y que el Cosmos en su totalidad se someta a sus experimentos de laboratorio. El ego aborrece a todo aquello que le hiera el amor propio. El ego adora sus teo-ras y preconceptos. Muchas veces aborrecemos a alguien sin motivo alguno. Por qu? Sencillamente, porque ese alguien personifica algunos errores que nosotros cargamos bien escondidos y no nos puede gustar que otro los exhiba. Realmente, los errores que a otros endilgamos, los llevamos nosotros muy adentro. Nadie es perfecto en este mundo, todos nosotros estamos cortados por la misma tijera. Cada uno de nosotros es un mal caracol entre el seno de la gran realidad. Quien no tiene un defecto en determinada direccin, lo tiene en otra direccin. Algunos no codician dinero, pero codician fama, honores, amores, etc. Otros, no adulteran con la mujer ajena, pero gozan adulterando doctrinas, mezclando credos en nombre de la fraternidad universal. Algunos no celan a la mujer propia, pero celan amistades, credos, sectas, cosas, etc. As somos los seres humanos, cortaditos siempre por la misma tijera. No hay ser humano que no se adore a s mismo. Nosotros hemos escuchado a individuos que gozan horas y horas enteras hablando de s mismos, de sus maravillas, de su talento, de sus virtudes, etc. El ego se quiere tanto a s mismo que llega a envidiar el bien ajeno. Las mujeres se engalanan con muchas cosas, en parte por vanidad, y en parte por despertar la envidia de las dems mujeres. Todas envidian a todas. Todas envidian el vestido ajeno, el bonito collar etc.

Caprices: a) An impulsive change of mind. b) An inclination to change one's mind impulsively.

All of them adore themselves, and dont want to be looked down upon by the rest; they are one hundred percent narcissistic. Some pseudo-occultists, or brothers of many sects, who adore themselves so much that they have come to believe they are ponds of humility and sanctity. They feel proud of their own humility. They are terribly proud. There are no pseudo-occultist little brothers or sisters who (deep inside) dont presume that they have sanctity, splendor and spiritual beauty. No pseudo-occultist little brother or sister believes him or her self to be bad or perverse; all of them presume themselves to be saintly and perfect, even when they are really not only bad, but also perverse. The beloved ego adores himself too much and presumes himself to be, even though he doesnt mention it, good and perfect.

Todas se adoran a s mismas y no quieren verse por debajo de las dems, son narcisitas ciento por ciento. Algunos pseudo-ocultistas, o hermanos de muchas sectas se adoran tanto a s mismos que han llegado a creerse pozos de humildad y santidad, se sienten orgullosos de su propia humildad. Son terriblemente orgullosos. No hay hermanita o hermanito pseudo-ocultista que en el fondo no presume de santidad, esplendor y belleza espiritual. Ningn hermanito o hermanita pseudoocultista se cree malo o perverso, todos presumen de santos o perfectos, an cuando realmente sean, no slo malos, sino adems, perversos. El querido ego se adora demasiado a s mismo y presume, an cuando no lo diga, de bueno y perfecto.

He or she ardently falls in love, but when it is discovered that the other person has his or her own mistakes, qualities and defects, then the loved one becomes a mirror. 8 - Why do we sometimes feel that we dislike someone? Simply because that someone personifies some errors we carry within (very well hidden), and we are unable to like anyone else who displays them.

It is the excessive love or admiration of oneself. 10 - When a woman spruces herself up in front of the mirror, why do you think she does it? In order for others to say: You are wholesome, you are beautiful, you are divine! etc. 11 - What do you understand by MYTHOMANIAC?
