Sacrifice for Humanity
Since this conference speaks of one of the Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness, it is important that we go into it deeply.
Sacrifice for Humanity is to deliver the Knowledge disinterestedly to all of Humanity. The term Sacrifice means Sacred Office, or Holy Office. The Sacred Office is that of Wisdom; it is related to the Force of the Father. The Office of the Father is that of Teaching, that of giving Wisdom. When we teach our other brethren of Humanity the way to Self-Realize intimately, we incarnate the Force of the Father.
It is evident that all of humanity is ignorant of what it lives for. People have not the slightest idea of why they were born. No one has told them. They live in a state of hypnotism, totally fascinated, and have the Consciousness completely asleep.
When we already know, we have the responsibility to teach what is the Reason for existing, what we were born for, what the possibilities of Being are, how we can integrate ourselves with the Being — so that each one may do what seems best to him, always respecting Free Will.
Normally in the term sacrifice we see suffering, because we are completely egoized. That force of egoism makes it cost us much work to do it, to develop it. The Ego (from which egoism comes) is always going to oppose our doing it.
The majority of persons, when they come to the Three Factors, think they are very easy to bring to practice; but when they are going to apply them, they do not understand why they become so difficult for them.
Normally, Sacrifice would be very simple. It really becomes complicated due to the fact that within us we carry not one egoist, but millions of egoists pointing in different directions. Besides, we have in our interior the I of fear — which is not one fear, but millions of fears that do not let us serve disinterestedly.
Love is always seen in the Works; lack of love, due to fear, in omission.
When we begin to sacrifice ourselves for humanity, automatically we begin to de-egoize ourselves. Let us study this: the word de-egoize ourselves means to cease being egoists, or to share what we have with others. If we truly wish to achieve something, we must eliminate the Ego and egoism in ourselves, and the key is in the Sacrifice for Humanity.
What is the only thing we truly have — what is our Patrimony?
It is our Knowledge, the Wisdom that allows us to Revolutionize, Liberate, and Self-Realize ourselves in one existence. If we reflect on this, if we value what we possess, we shall realize that this Knowledge could not be bought with all the gold in the world.
When we share it with other persons, we are ceasing to be egoists; we are giving others the possibility that they too can self-realize.
But let us comprehend from now on that we must not convince anyone; we must tell them, but not beg them; whoever is not prepared will not be able to initiate the Path. And each one must convince himself.
Conditions for the Sacrifice for Humanity:
-
We must deliver it pure, without adding other things that are not of the Knowledge. They are Three Factors and nothing more.
-
We must deliver the knowledge free of charge; if it is charged, it is not sacrifice but business. All religions committed that error.
-
We must deliver it to all the world, without distinction of sex, color, social class, wealth, race, etc.
-
We must not modify it; we are asleep and cannot alter what awakened Beings organized.
Each of the clues for the awakening of the Consciousness were ordered for that objective.
-
We must not take away or hide anything, for this would be to adulterate it. This happened with the Christians, who hid the Mysteries of Sex; they castrated the Factor of Being Born.
-
We must not mix it with other knowledge, for this would adulterate it, and it would no longer be this Knowledge.
Why is it a duty to deliver this Knowledge?
Let us see some reasons for sacrificing ourselves for humanity, and reflect a little on each one:
-
The Being is the Being, and the reason for being of the Being is the Being itself.
-
To be able to de-egoize ourselves, to give a hard blow to the Ego.
-
A work of Love is fed with Love. Love is in the works; if we do not do conscious works for others, we do not awaken Love.
-
The sparks liberated through death must awaken Love and learn to serve.
-
To be able to attain the merits of the heart.
-
The Lion of the Law is combated with charity.
Doing conscious works for humanity, we shall have the Law in our favor.
-
He who gives, of what he gives receives. He who wants Wisdom must give Wisdom.
-
If one helps others to awaken, one is helped.
-
He who has and does not give from what he has — even the little he has will be taken from him. When one has knowledge, one has a terrible responsibility. If one does not give it, the Law falls upon him. By the fact of having, they collect from him, because it is a costly right, terribly costly.
And how do they collect? The Karma of having Wisdom and not giving it is paid with blindness. Normally it is the karma of those who had the knowledge and hid it; then they also hide the light from them, because Light represents Wisdom.
-
To balance the factor of Being Born. A person who sacrifices for humanity can be born ten times faster than the egoist.
-
To balance the factor of Dying. Each of our I-s has its own debt; if we wish to eliminate them, we shall have to pay what they owe.
-
We owe the Karma of seven existences; if we are to Self-realize in one, we must pay it in cash.
The Sacrifice for Humanity produces the Dharma, or cosmic money, with which we can pay the Karma.
-
When we teach, we are in contact with the force of the Father; He teaches us when we do it.
-
To receive Force for the different works: Astral Projection, Retrospections, Meditation, etc.
-
To comprehend the Knowledge better.
-
So that the Knowledge does not become forgotten.
-
To become more profound in the Knowledge, as the Consciousness goes on awakening.
-
Because greater Consciousness implies greater commitment with the Being.
-
To not fall into Entropy or the Cosmic Night.
-
He who works for the Christ incarnates Him.
-
We liberate ourselves to become useful to the Being, not worse.
-
The pleasure that working disinterestedly produces.
-
To obtain the Disciple, which will allow us to enter the Absolute.
Undoubtedly, if we continue observing, everyone believes that having heard the conferences once is enough. But to the measure that we review the topics, the Being teaches us new little details, while we go on teaching others. Then the instructors become more profound, and that profundity is from reviewing the same topic.
We take the syllabus, we center ourselves on it, and we go through, from conference one to conference fifty. But each pass we go through with more profundity; we go on discovering new things; it does not become routine, but we comprehend more and more.
When one says: “our daily bread,” one is referring to the Wisdom that arrives from the Father daily to our heart. So, when one makes the supplication “give us our daily bread,” one is asking for Wisdom to be able to nourish oneself. Because one lives not only of physical food, but also of those manifestations that come from the superior worlds. The two glands — pineal and pituitary — through a secret path, by a very special door, can send to the heart the Wisdom of the Father, but one must feel it; one must live it.
Diverse Forms of Sacrificing Ourselves for Humanity
The Sacrifice for Humanity consists of two great aspects: To Fish and To Teach. To Fish is to seek persons interested in doing the Work. Here the diverse forms of divulgation and publicity stand out.
To teach, one must first learn the conferences and then prepare oneself.
Let us see different ways of doing Sacrifice for Humanity:
-
The first form is when one begins to attend the conferences.
-
Then one invites acquaintances, family, friends, neighbors, etc., to attend the conferences.
-
When one has invited all the acquaintances, family, and friends, one must continue with the rest of humanity. Then one can distribute flyers and invite people to attend.
-
Posters can be put up, or other types of publicity campaigns can be made.
-
To be able to sacrifice ourselves for humanity, we must prepare ourselves by reflecting and comprehending what we have learned.
-
Further on, the person will sharpen himself to be able to give the syllabus in a hall.
-
Once we have learned, we go on giving introductions to new persons.
-
Then one can collaborate by giving conferences in the same halls one is attending.
-
Subsequently, one will open his first hall and take charge of it.
-
Then halls will be opened in other places to spread the Knowledge to other parts.
-
Later, one will become an international instructor and will go to open groups in other countries.
-
Then one will direct the groups and orient them.
-
Writing books of the Knowledge.
-
Making publicity campaigns: local, national, or worldwide.
-
Awakening, in order to be able to make a more conscious Sacrifice.
Let us reflect on this. The important thing is that when one decides to teach — no matter where, it can be in the street, in a park, in a cafeteria, etc. — all that one teaches becomes force, and that force we need in order to be able to advance.
Therefore, it is urgent to reflect on this conference in order to change the attitude. We must serve humanity, decide to begin, because many persons want to serve but timidity does not let them. Let us begin.
Why do so many people arrive and why do so few remain? Because they have nothing with which to sustain themselves inside the bus (which symbolizes the conference hall). For this reason they are continually leaving. The formula is: BEGIN TO DO.
Sacrifice for Humanity Since this conference speaks of one of the Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness, it is important that we go into it deeply.
