Chapter 4: The Essence

That which makes every newborn child beautiful and adorable is his essence. This in itself constitutes his true reality.

In all infants, the normal growth of the essence is certainly incipient, residual.

The human body grows and develops according to the biological laws of the species, however, such possibilities by themselves, are very limited for the essence.

Unquestionably, without help, the essence by itself can only grow to a tiny degree.

Speaking frankly and plainly, let us say that the spontaneous and natural growth of the essence is only possible during the first three, four, or five years of life; in other words, during the first phase of life.

People think that the growth and development of the essence always occurs in a continuous form, according  to the mechanics of evolution, but Universal Gnosticism
teaches clearly that it does not occur in this way.

In order for the essence to grow more, something very special must happen, something new must be done. I want to refer emphatically to the work on oneself. The development of the essence is only possible on the basis of conscious works and voluntary sufferings.

It is necessary to comprehend that these works do not refer to questions of profession, banking, carpentry, masonry, railroad repairs, or office matters.

This work is for any person who has developed the personality; it deals with something psychological. We all know that we have within us that which is called
ego, “I”, myself, the self.

Unfortunately, the essence is completely imprisoned, trapped inside the ego, and this is lamentable. To dissolve the psychological “I” and to disintegrate its undesirable elements is urgent, undelayable, unpostponable. This is the meaning of the work on oneself. We could never liberate the essence without having previously disintegrated the psychological “I”.

In the essence is religion, the Buddha, wisdom, the particles of pain of our Father who is in the Heavens, and all the information we need for the intimate self-realization of
the Being.

No one could annihilate the psychological “I” without previously eliminating the inhuman elements that we carry within.

We need to reduce to ashes the monstrous cruelty of these times; the envy, which has unfortunately become the secret trigger of our actions, the unbearable covetousness that has made life so bitter, the disgusting slander, calumny, which is the cause of so many tragedies, drunkenness, the foul lust which smells so ugly, etc., etc., etc.
As all these abominations are reduced to cosmic dust, the essence, as well as being liberated, will grow and develop harmoniously.

Unquestionably, when the psychological “I” has died, the essence is resplendent in us.

The freed essence confers upon us intimate beauty, from which emanates perfect happiness and true love. The essence possesses many forms of perfection, and
extraordinary natural powers.

When we die in ourselves, when we dissolve the psychological “I”, we enjoy the precious senses and powers of the essence.
