As it is known by Gnostic students, when a person does not put his work in order, he is at odds with the route he should take so as to continue his work. This means that one day he does a certain type of work, another day another, without following a sequence so as to collect the fruitfulness of each one of the tasks that he attempts to fulfill. Let us take, for instance, meditation. It is necessary that we meditate at least an hour every day. This can be accomplished, if the circumstances permit us, any time of day. If it is quite impossible to do so during the day, it can be done at nighttime, preferably from ten to twelve midnight, or at dawn, between three and five in the morning.
This meditation ought to be done combining the prayers and adoration of the Intimate, asking for illumination; in this way we will be able to merge the conscience with the Light, and at the same time, we will be able to awaken our conscience and strengthen ourselves so as to keep struggling with the different dramas of life, without being victims of the Ego’s attacks, that on many occasions make it impossible for us to continue with our work.
Every person who wishes to advance in these studies, ought to be serious about them, responsible, disciplined, so that he can be sustained in his path and have objective living proofs of the Doctrinal body, making a reeducation of his senses, of his breathing, his food intake, his hygiene, and his behavior with the ones around them.
The person in question should not allow his sense of hearing, for example, to listen to, even if he likes it, to a strident music, double sense jokes, quarrels, controversies, politics, and all that is known to hurt certain susceptibility in the harmony that is being developed at a level of the extra-sensory perception, because it could damage them.
The person should not allow his sense of sight, to get to see barbaric scenes, war movies, morbidity, magazines, newspapers which show unsuitable scenes which can damage the delicacy and purity of our imaginary center and would produce big waves in the lake of our minds, which should remain still and serene…
By no means he should allow his word be turned anytime into an instrument of the Ego, launching offenses, insults, lies, gossip and anything that would harm the geometric, four-dimensional form of the word.
The person should not allow his imagination to take him through a subjective world, ruining the petal of the Lilac Alexandria of the Divine clairvoyance.
There must be a super discipline in the Work, so that when the above negative phenomena appear, he will know how to act.
Dear reader, the negative emotions are fought with inspiration; the negative thoughts are fought with inspiration; the negative instincts are fought with inspiration.
This means INSPIRATION is the weapon that we, the studious of this science, dispose of for arising our Level of Being.
Inspiration is God within us. As we have stated above, it is not fair or reasonable that a person who leads a disorganized life, who does not keep hygiene in his body, in his house, in his home; who does not have a mental hygiene, does not have control of his instincts and emotions, think that he will be able to be an inspired candidate for the Aquarian Age.
