Nobody denies the existence of different social levels, there are church's people, there are brothel people, people who do commerce, country people, etc. In the same manner, there are different levels of being.

Our defects make us suffer: jealously divides homes; lust generates adultery, rapes and betrayal, abortions, diseases, etc. The horrible greedy converts the human being into a miserable money's slave and instead of serving others, he or she humiliates and exploits them, generating hunger and violence. Pride makes us feel big, either for possessing a title, a job, or wealth; when the truth is that we are not more that miserable wood sticks navigating in the tormented waters of the life ocean. Angry people are impatient, demanding, everything bothers them; they hurt themselves and hurt those who surround them because they don't know what patient is. Lazy people are not interested in working and they always justify their laziness.

In this way, each person becomes a psychological magnet that attracts whatever he or she has inside. The violent attracts violence; the lusty, scenes, drams and even tragedies of lascivia; the drunk will attract other drunks and will always be in bars, etc. What will attract the usurer? The selfish? How many problems, jail and disgraces? This boring repetition of drams, comedies and tragedies will continue as long as we keep carrying inside ourselves the undesirable elements of ANGER, GREEDY, LUST, ENVY, PRIDE, LAZYNESS, GLOTONY, ETC, ETC.

As long as we don't change internally and psychologically, the repetition of all our miseries, scenes, disgraces and misfortunes will continue. All of these external circumstances that occur in the scenario of this world, are the reflection of what we have inside ourselves. With fairness, we can affirm what in some occasion Enmanuel Kant mentioned: "the external is the reflection of the internal".

When one changes internally and the change is radical, the external, the life circumstances, change too.

Certainly, it is not an easy task to eliminate the negative emotions, to avoid identifying ourselves with our own way of life and with all kind problems: work, debts, payment of bills, mortgages, telephone, water, light,etc.

Unemployed people, those that for any reason have lost their jobs, suffer because of lack of money. To forget about their situation, not to worry and not to identify themselves with their own problem is absolutely difficult. Those that suffer and cry, those who have been the victim of some betrayal, of some ingratitude in life, of a fraud, really forget about themselves, about their internal God and identify themselves with their emotional tragedy. A person who is desperate because of an emotional, economic or politic problem, obviously has forgotten about himself or herself. If that person stops for a moment, observes the situation and tries to observe the feelings inside herself or himself, and then makes an effort to comprehend the sense of his or her attitude; if that person reflexionates a bit and thinks that "everything will go", that life is illusory, brief and that death reduces to ashes all worldly vanity. If he or she comprehends that his or her problem, deeply considered is nothing else than a fatuous fire that will soon be extinguished, he or she will see with surprise that everything has changed.

In reality, we human beings react mechanically to life circumstances, this convert us in victims. If someone adulates us, we smile; if someone humiliates us, we suffer; if someone insults us, we insult back; we will hurt if we feel hurt. In deed, we will never be free because our neighbors have the power to take us from rejoicing to sadness, from hope to desperation.

It is important that we human beings learn the techniques and psychological clues that are taught by the Gnostic wisdom and that will help us to know ourselves and eliminate those internal and hidden forces called "I" or defects. Those internal forces are the ones acting inside us and making us to react mechanically to the diverse circumstances in life.

Many people who have learned and practiced these psychological clues have made extraordinary changes that helped them to live better and to know love, love that they will then be able to give to their neighbors.

That psychological state that each of us carries is the product of a long and complicated process that we have experienced. A family education, school and social, is the model in which all of us have been formed. It is difficult to get rid of that model if we keep ourselves identified and absorbed in those customs.

In the ancient Greek, the prophetesses of Delfos, that used to prophesize to the multitudes in the middle of torches, handed to the seven wise of Greek, one of those being Solon and Tales de Mileto, the maximum motto of wisdom: "Homo Gnose te ipsum" that means: "Man, know yourself and you will know the universe and the gods".

The Psychological Defects.
Thanks to the Gnosis and to the Master Samael, we know that the "I" or defect is the cause of pain in the human being. Master Samael teaches us to know ourselves and to know the defect that acts in us to eliminate it.

We will write this again, the problem of the human being pain resides entirely in our defects. Because of our defects, each person is sowing in her or his life pain, suffering, misery, disease; we suffer and we make others suffer, even our own family.

If we could dispose of a practice that will let us know ourselves, and our erroneous ways of thinking, feeling and acting, is logic that we would eliminate our defects, we would not make errors and we would make something better out of our life.

But human kind is defenseless. Because of our defects we will sow our own pain: jail, death, violence, split families, etc. Because of a defect like anger, because of something insignificant, spouses fight, children suffer and families split.

Human kind finds itself in a dead end street, but Gnosis has opened the doors of spiritual knowledge to free us from pain.

The law of recurrence.
The word recurrence means "to happen again". According to this law everything in the life of a human being will repeat exactly the same way as it occurred in the previous life; the same emotional relationships, the same fights, same splits, same friends and enemies. Because of this, we say that the life of each human being is like a movie. When we die, we will take that film to eternity, so we will revive it in a retrospective way in the judgment that will be made to our soul in the astral world. Then, when we return in a new physical body we will project and will repeat the film of our life in the new existence.

In the gospels Saint Paul tells us: "It is required that the old man dies and the new man be born".

The old man is all those habits, customs, mechanics, and defects. The new man is the Christ in each one of us.

In the Bible, Jesus Christ and the apostles invite us to be born again and to a real transformation. For this reason, if we don't know ourselves and eliminate our defects, all our suffering will be repeated in our next existence.

The law of recurrence is one of the 48 laws that govern the human nature. This law is explained in the first chapter of the Ecclesiastes: "What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun (everything happens again). Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after...” (new lives).

The following is a teaching by the Master Samael Aun Weor. He explains us clearly the laws of return and recurrence and their close relationship with karma through a personal experience:

”Coming into my memory in these instants are scenes of a previous reincarnation of mine during the Middle Ages. I was living in Austria, in accordance with the customs of that epoch. I do not deny that I was a member of an illustrious family of aristocratic rank. In that epoch, my people, my lineage were very conceited about matters of royal blood related with rigid ascendancy and notable ancestry. I feel ashamed, yet I must confess (and this is what is critical in this matter) that I also was engulfed within the bottle of those social prejudices, the matters of that epoch! One given day, it does not matter which, a sister of mine became in love with a very poor man, and of course, this was the scandal of the century. The ladies of the class of nobles and their stubborn little fops, dandies, dudes, peacocks, and coxcombs, came to skin alive the neighbour. They scoffed at my unhappy sister. They said that she had disgraced the honour of the family, and that she could have married better, etc.”.

”It did not take long for my poor sister to become a widow, but the outcome of her love was clearly a child. What if she would have wanted to return into the bosom of her family? It was not possible. She greatly knew the viperine tongue of those elegant ladies, their fastidious counterpoints, their disregard. Therefore, she preferred an independent life”.

”Did I help the widow? It would be an absurdity to deny it. Did I have pity on my nephew? That is true. Unfortunately, there are times when one is trying not to be a person without pity, yet one becomes pitiless. That was my case. Feeling pity on the child, I put him in a boarding school (with the pretext that he could receive a strong, firm and vigorous education) without taking into account the feelings of his mother, and I even committed the error of prohibiting this suffering woman to visit her son. I thought that in this way my nephew would not receive any type of harm, so, he could become someone else later, that is to say, to become a great gentleman, etc.”.

”The path which leads to the abyss is paved with good intentions. True? Yes, it is true. How many times when one is trying to do good, one accomplishes evil! My intentions were good, but my actions were mistaken. Nonetheless, I was firmly believing that I was doing the right thing. My sister was suffering greatly because of the absence of her son, and she could not even see him at the college, as this was prohibited for her”.

“By all means, it is clear that from my part there was love for my nephew and cruelty for my sister. However, I thought that if I was helping the son I would also be helping his mother. Fortunately, as if by magic, the police of Karma, the Kaom, emerge inside each one of us, within those intimate regions where love is missing. To flee from the agents of Karma is not possible, since inside of each one of us exists the police who inevitably will conduce us towards the tribunals”.

”Many centuries have passed since that epoch. All of the personages from that drama became old and they died. However, the Law of REOCCURRENCE is terrible, because everything is repeated as it once happened, along with its consequences”.

”In the twentieth century, we, all the actors of that past event, have reencountered ourselves again. Everything has been repeated in a certain way, but it is clear that it has been with consequences. This time I was the one who was repudiated by the family. Such is the Law. My sister reencountered her husband anew. I do not reject the fact that I am united again with my ancient priestess spouse, known with the name of Litelantes. The so adored and fought over nephew became reborn again, this time with a feminine body. She, by the way, is a very beautiful girl. Her face seems to be a very delightful night and the stars shine in her eyes”.

”One time, the date does not matter now, we were living next to the sea, the girl (my ancient nephew) could not play as she was grievously ill with an intestinal infection. It was a very delicate situation as various children of her age died in that epoch because of the same cause. Why should my daughter be an exception? The numerous remedies which were administrated to her frankly were useless. In her infantile face, the unmistakable profile of death was already starting to be drawn with horror. By all means the failure was standing out, the case was lost, and I did not have any other chance than to visit the Dragon of the Law, the terrible genie of Karma whose name is Anubis”.
 
”Fortunately, thanks be given to God, we, Litelantes and I, know how to consciously and positively travel in the Astral Body. Therefore, it was not a problem for us to present ourselves together in the palace of this Great Archon, within the parallel universe of the fifth dimension. That Temple of Karma is impressive, majestic and grandiose. The Hierarch was there, seated on his throne, imposing, and terribly divine. Anyone would be frightened to see him officiating with that sacred mask of a jackal, just as he appears in many embossments of the ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs”.

”Finally, the opportunity to talk to him was granted to me, and clearly I did not let it pass away so easily: You have a debt with me -I told him-. Which one? He answered astonished. Then, completely satisfied, I introduced to him a man who in a foretime was a perverse demon. I am referring to Aztaroth, the great Duke. This was a lost son for the Father, -I continued, saying unto him-, nonetheless, I saved him, by showing him the path of the light, I took him out of the Black Lodge, and now he is a disciple of the White Brotherhood, and you did not pay me this debt”.

”The case was that this daughter of mine had to die in accordance with the Law, and her soul was to penetrate within the womb of my sister in order to form a new physical body for my daughter. This is how I understood it. Therefore, I added, -I ask that Aztaroth can go into the womb of my sister instead of the soul of my daughter. The solemn answer of this Hierarch was definitive: ‘Granted, let Aztaroth go into the womb of your sister, and let your daughter be healed’ Therefore, that girl (my ancient nephew) was miraculously healed, and then my sister begot a male-child. I had capital in order to pay that debt, I had Cosmic Capital. The Law of Karma is not a blind mechanical Law, as many pseudo-esoterists and pseudo- suppose”.

”As these matters show, it becomes evident and easy to comprehend that with the possible death of my daughter, I had to feel the same pain of detachment, the same bitterness which in an ancient epoch my sister was feeling for the loss of her son”.

”Thus, by means of the Great Law, the damage would be compensated, with the repetition of similar scenes. However, this time I, myself would be the victim. Fortunately, Karma is negotiable, this Law is not the blind mechanicalism of the Astrologers and Chiromancers of fairs. I had cosmic capital, so, I paid that old debt. Thus, thanks to God, it was possible for me to avoid the bitterness which was awaiting for me”.

Commentary of the Director:
In that life, the physical body of Master Samael Aun Weor was living in Austria, within the Royal Habsburgo Family. One of his sisters married a plebeian, and for this she was despised by her family.

By that time, the physical body of Master Samael, being very well-intentioned, made the decision to separate the kid, his nephew, from his mother in order to educate him. She wasn't even allowed to visit him and she suffered bitterly, as a result.

Years past and all the members of that family, who were part of that human drama, aged and died. After many centuries, all happened again the same way it had happened but with its consequences and by virtue of the law of recurrence and karma. All these characters were born again and they reencountered one more time. Samael's sister came back as his sister again and she married the same man who was her husband when they were living in Austria. Samael married his wife Litelantes once again, too.

By that time in Austria, his sister was repudiated by her family. Now, Victor Manuel Gómez, as his physical body was named, was also repudiated by his family. He had to flee away from home, because his father and stepmother used to mistreat him all the time. He had been separated from his mother and they didn't permit him to visit her. He had made his sister suffer; now he had to suffer. In that reincarnation, when he was living in Austria, he forbade his sister to visit his son. Now he was forbidden to see his mother. Now we certainly understand the divine Christ when he says: "Do not do unto others what you do not want to be done unto you".

Some years later, Victor Manuel Gómez married Litelantes again and with his little kids, they went to live in a humble house, near the seashore, in Cienaga (Magdalena), Colombia. While living there, one of his kids got very sick, several children had died from the same illness in that town. Death showed itself in the face of the little daughter. This was a lost case and the little girl was sentenced to die by Law of karma. (See: www.anael.org/english/justice)

Nevertheless, Samael and his wife Litelantes traveled in astral to visit the great Master of Karma, that is Master Anubis. It turns out that in the past, Master Samael, with the Gnostic teachings, made a perverse devil, named Aztaroth, quit the Black Magic and join to the White confraternity. On the basis of this fact, he negotiated with Master Anubis, to help his daughter. The deal was accepted and his daughter healed immediately "by miracle".

Now, we might understand how important it is to verify, live and share these holy Gnostic teachings on face of the earth. Remember that we can pay karma with pain, but we can also pay it with love.

In this life and thanks to the disclosure of this message, I have been able to negotiate terrible pieces of karma that otherwise had made me even die. This “cosmic cash” to pay and keep negotiations is fantastic!

To finish, we are inviting you to prove yourselves these laws and expand these teachings in every possible way on the face of the earth.
