Chapter 28: The WillThe Great Work is above all the creation of man, by himself, based in conscious works and voluntary sufferings.
The Great Work is the inner conquest of oneself, of our true freedom in God. We need with maximum, pressing urgency to disintegrate all those “I’s” that live within us, if we really want the perfect emancipation of the will. Nicholas Flamel and Raymond Lully, both poor, liberated their will and performed innumerable psychological prodigies that amaze. |
Agrippa never reached more than the first part of the Great Work and died painfully, struggling in the disintegration of those “I’s”, with the purpose of possessing himself and
focusing on his independence.
The perfect emancipation of will assures the sage absolute rule over fire, air, water, and earth.
What we are saying here in relation to the sovereign power of the emancipated will seems exaggerated to many contemporary students of psychology. However the Bible speaks marvels about Moses.
According to Philo, Moses was an initiate in the land of the Pharaohs, on the banks of the Nile. Priest of Osiris, cousin of the Pharaoh, educated among the columns of Isis, the Divine Mother and Osiris, our Father who is in secret.
Moses was a descendant of the patriarch Abraham, the great Chaldean magician, and the very respectable Isaac.
Moses, the man who liberated the electric power of the will, possesses the gift of prodigies; gods and humans know this, so it is written.
Everything the sacred scriptures say about that Hebrew leader is certainly extraordinary, portentous.
Moses transformed his staff into a serpent. He transformed one of his hands into that of a leper and then restored it to health.
The proof of the burning bush made clear his power; people comprehended, kneeled, and prostrated themselves.
Moses used a magic staff, emblem of royal power, the priestly power of the initiate in the great mysteries of life and death.
Before the Pharaoh, Moses changed the water of the Nile into blood, the fish died, the sacred river became infected, the Egyptians couldn’t drink from it, and the irrigations of the Nile poured blood onto the fields.
Moses did more: he managed to make millions of deformed, gigantic, monstrous frogs come out of the river and invade the houses. Then, with his gesture, indication of a free and sovereign will, these horrible frogs disappeared.
But since Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go free, Moses worked new miracles: he covered the land with filth, he raised disgusting clouds of filthy and revolting flies, which he later took the liberty to cast aside.
He unleashed the horrible plague, and all the herds, except those of the Jews, died.
Taking soot from the furnace, so say the Holy Scriptures, he threw it into the air and falling on the Egyptians it caused them to have boils and ulcers.
Extending his famous magic staff, Moses made hail rain from the sky, which was mercilessly destructive and deadly. Then he made fiery lightening to strike, terrifying thunder to resound, and torrential rains; later, with a gesture, he restored the calm.
However, the Pharaoh remained inflexible. Moses, with a tremendous knock of his magic staff, as if by enchantment, made clouds of locusts emerge, and then came darkness.
Another blow with his staff and everything returned to its original order.
The end of that biblical drama from the Old Testament is well known: Jehovah intervenes, killing all the firstborn of the Egyptians, and Pharaoh was left no choice but to let the Hebrews go.
Subsequently, Moses used his magic staff to part the waters of the Red Sea and crossed it with dry feet.
When the Egyptian soldiers rushed in pursuit of the Hebrew people, Moses, with a gesture, caused the waters to return again and swallowed up the pursuers.
Unquestionably many pseudo-esotericists and pseudo occultists would like to be magicians but this is impossible as long as the will continues to be bottled up within each of these characters, within each one of those “I’s” that we carry within us.
The essence, imprisoned in the “myself” is the genie of Aladdin’s lamp, longing for liberty… When free, that genie can realize prodigies.
The essence is will consciousness, unfortunately functioning by virtue of our own conditioning.
When the will is liberated, it then mixes or fuses, thus integrating itself with the universal will, so becoming sovereign. Individual will fused with universal will, is able to realize all the miracles of Moses.
There are three types of acts:
Unquestionably only people who have liberated their will through the death of “myself” will be able to accomplish new acts born of their free will.
The normal, everyday acts of mankind are always the result of the Law of Recurrence, or merely the result of mechanical accidents.
Whoever truly possesses free will can create new circumstances. He who has his will bottled-up in the pluralized “I” is a victim of circumstances.
In all the biblical pages there is a formidable display of high magic, clairvoyance, prophecy, miracles, transfigurations, resurrection of the dead, either by insufflation or by imposition of hands, or by a fixed gaze at the root of the nose, etc., etc., etc.
There is an abundance in the Bible about massage, sacred oils, the application of a little saliva on the sick part, reading of thoughts, transportations, apparitions, words from heaven, etc., etc., true wonders of the liberated, emancipated, sovereign conscious will.
Witches, sorcerers, black magicians? They abound like weeds! But they are neither saints, nor prophets, nor adepts of the White Brotherhood.
No one could obtain real illumination, or exercise the absolute priesthood of the conscious will, if they have not previously died radically within themselves, here and now.
Many people frequently write to us complaining about not having illumination, asking for powers, demanding keys that will make them magicians, etc., etc., etc., nevertheless
they are never interested in self-observation, in self knowledge, in disintegrating those psychic aggregates, those “I’s” within which is bottled up the will, the essence.
People like that are obviously doomed to fail. They are people who covet the faculties of the saints, but who in no way are willing to die in themselves.
Eliminating errors is something magical, wonderful in itself, which implies rigorous psychological self observation.
Exercising powers is possible when the marvelous power of the will is radically liberated.
Unfortunately, since people have the will bottled up within each “I”, it is obviously divided into multiple wills that are each processed by virtue of their own conditioning.
It is clear to comprehend that each “I”, for that reason, possesses its own unconscious, individual will.
The innumerable wills bottled up within the “I’s” often collide with each other, thus making us impotent, weak, miserable, victims of circumstances, incapable.
