The I Of Treason

The I of Treason

Normally, to speak of treason, there must exist a previous pact that can be betrayed. Then, if there is a pact that is not fulfilled, there is treason. Therefore, we shall start from this basis to study treason: a pact or commitment that is held must be violated.

In the physical plane, we know treason when, for example, a boyfriend tells a girlfriend that he is going to love her all his life, and after 15 days he is bored. The boyfriend in fact made a promise and did not fulfill it; then there is treason.

Undoubtedly there is treason when something is falsified or adulterated. For there to be treason, something must have been broken: a bond, a tie, a promise, etc. This is one form of treason.

When one comes to the Knowledge, and is disposed to make the Work, one commits to working whatever the cost; then one has to face the three enemies of the Christ, whom we all carry within, and who form that which we shall call the I of treason.

The Three Traitors

In the profound Interior Work, within the terrain of the most strict psychological self-observation, we have to experience in a direct form the entire cosmic drama.

The Intimate Christ must eliminate all the undesirable elements we carry in our interior.

The multiple psychic aggregates in our psychological depths shout, asking for crucifixion for the Interior Lord.

Unquestionably, each one of us carries in his psyche the Three Traitors: Judas, the demon of desire; Pilate, the demon of the mind; Caiaphas, the demon of bad will.

These Three Traitors crucify the Lord of Perfections in the very depth of our soul. These are three specific types of inhuman elements fundamental in the cosmic drama.

Indubitably, the cited drama has always been lived secretly in the depths of the Superlative Consciousness of the Being.

The cosmic drama is not the exclusive property of the Great Kabir Jesus, as the illustrated ignorant ones always suppose. The Initiates of all ages, the Masters of all centuries, have had to live the cosmic drama within themselves, here and now.

However, Jesus the Great Kabir had the courage to represent such an intimate drama publicly, in the street and in the light of day, to open the sense of initiation to all human beings, without differences of race, sex, caste, or color.

It is marvelous that there be someone who in a public form would teach the intimate drama to all the peoples of the Earth.

The Intimate Christ, not being a lustful one, has to eliminate from Himself the psychological elements of lust.

The Intimate Christ, being in Himself peace and love, must eliminate from Himself the undesirable elements of anger.

The Intimate Christ, not being greedy, must eliminate from Himself the undesirable elements of greed.

The Intimate Christ, not being envious, must eliminate from Himself the psychic aggregates of envy.

The Intimate Christ, being perfect humility, infinite modesty, absolute simplicity, must eliminate from Himself the nauseating elements of pride, vanity, conceit.

The Intimate Christ, the Word, the Creative Logos — living always in constant activity — has to eliminate in our interior, in Himself and through Himself, the undesirable elements of inertia, of laziness, of stagnation.

The Lord of Perfection, accustomed to all the fasts, temperate, never a friend of drunkenness and great banquets, has to eliminate from Himself the abominable elements of gluttony.

Strange symbiosis of the Christ-Jesus, the Christ-Man — strange mixture of the divine and of the human, of the perfect and of the imperfect — always constant test for the Logos.

The most interesting thing of all this is that the Secret Christ is always a triumphant one; someone who constantly vanquishes the darkness; someone who eliminates the darkness within Himself, here and now.

The Secret Christ is the lord of the Great Rebellion, rejected by the priests, by the elders, and by the scribes of the temple.

The priests hate Him — that is, they do not comprehend Him; they want the Lord of Perfections to live exclusively in time, in accordance with their unbreakable dogmas.

The elders — that is, the dwellers of the earth, the good householders, the judicious people, the experienced people — abhor the Logos, the Red Christ, the Christ of the Great Rebellion, because He goes out of the world of their antiquated, reactionary habits and customs petrified in many yesterdays.

The scribes of the temple, the rascals of the intellect, abhor the Intimate Christ because He is the antithesis of the Antichrist — the declared enemy of all that rotting heap of university theories that so abounds in the markets of bodies and of souls.

The Three Traitors mortally hate the Secret Christ and lead Him to death within ourselves and in our own psychological space.

1. Judas — The Demon of Desire — The Enemy of Nature

Judas represents all our own desires, temptations, and fascination in the physical world. Let us study this traitor.

Desire is the source of force, for it is the fire that animates anything. If we surrender to our desires, we shall be their slaves; if we deny each of our desires, we shall liberate that fire which is hidden in it — or we shall become masters of the force.

Judas sells the Christ for thirty pieces of silver. This means that our desires sell, in the physical world, the Christ (the Fire). When we learn to deny ourselves, or our desires, we begin to take possession of the force that is hidden in each desire.

When we do not know how to deny ourselves, we go after each one of our desires in daily living.

To learn to combat this traitor is very important if we want to advance in the Great Work; otherwise we shall not initiate the Esoteric Work.

The gospel of Judas says: “Blessed is he who sees in my light, the light of my Master.”

When one sees in desire the Fire, the Christ, he rescues it; when he does not see it, he loses it from instant to instant.

Desire is fire, and by dying from instant to instant we rescue it as Will.

It is said that Judas, or Desire, is the Enemy of Nature, because it does not permit any creation in oneself. When we begin to deny ourselves, we begin to balance the centers, and the work of birth will give its fruits; the Creative Energy of the Holy Spirit will crystallize the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being.

This demon is conquered by denying oneself.

2. Pilate — The Demon of the Mind — The Enemy of Wisdom

Pilate represents all our excuses, justifications, evasions, escapes, etc., through which we shall continue being the same.

What is it to wash one’s hands? Whenever we are before any problem, we justify ourselves, we identify with the problem, we do not know how to take advantage of the situation. We always find excuses for not working, for not eliminating the defects.

Let us study this demon of the mind: He always finds ways out, evasions, and justifications to continue being the same.

To the mind falls the role of judging each of our defects, of judging them with reflection — but it does not fulfill its work; it lives identified with all the subjective processes.

If we wish to die, we have to stop justifying ourselves; we have to judge ourselves pitilessly; we must not accept escapes; we must become serious with the work.

We must take the grass away from the donkey; we must not feed the defects of the intellect; we must finish with all the concepts in order to go on integrating our mind. Let us remember that the best way of thinking is not to think. With all the intellectualism, the mind degenerated — it no longer comprehends.

This demon is called the Enemy of Wisdom because it does not let one die in oneself. Wisdom comes with death; if one does not die, there will be no wisdom. This demon impedes psychological death; it always blames others; it lives judging them, instead of judging our own actions. It finds thousands of justifications to not let us do the things of our Being. It finds all the justifications so that we keep doing the things of the Ego or the personality.

This demon is conquered by not justifying ourselves and judging ourselves pitilessly.

3. Caiaphas — The Demon of Bad Will — The Enemy of the Truth

Caiaphas represents our words, works, and omissions in the terrain of facts.

He promises and does not fulfill what he promises; for him it is the same to do as not to do; being able to do, he does not do. He wastes time in idle things that have not the slightest importance. He does not want to let us practice anything. He wants to self-realize without working.

Examples:

• Bad will to establish disciplines of work.

• Bad will to fulfill schedules.

• Bad will to do the practices.

• Bad will to get up to do the practices.

• Bad will to investigate.

• Bad will to verify.

• Bad will to concentrate.

• Bad will for meditation.

• Bad will for retrospections.

• Bad will to project.

• Bad will for the little jump.

• Bad will to do the practice of the Dervishes.

• Bad will for the Transmutation of Cosmic Forces.

• Bad will for Fund Transfers.

• Bad will to negotiate with the Lords of Karma.

• Bad will to eliminate the I-s.

• Bad will to self-observe.

• Bad will to reflect.

• Bad will to comprehend the defects.

• Bad will to ask for death.

• Bad will to sacrifice for humanity.

• Bad will to distribute flyers.

• Bad will to sharpen ourselves.

• Bad will to be born.

• Good will to waste time.

• Good will for idle conversations.

• Good will for distraction.

• Good will to watch television.

• Good will for parties.

• Good will for subjective work.

• Good will to sleep and rest.

• Good will to fornicate.

• Good will to give pleasure to desires.

• Good will to commit adultery, etc., etc.

Let us see now some treasons against the Work:

• When we mix the Knowledge with pseudo-esoteric things.

• When we identify with the things of the world and retire from the work.

• When we abandon the Esoteric Work.

• When we fornicate voluntarily.

• When, having Chastity, we betray the Divine Mother by taking another partner.

• When we do not fulfill the Oath.

• When we choose the path of Nirvana.

Of the three demons, CAIAPHAS is the worst. He is the Enemy of the Truth. If the Truth is the Being, let us say he is the enemy of the Being. He is the enemy of the Christ; he wants to prevent Him at any price.

This Demon is conquered with Conscious Sacrifices and Voluntary Sufferings.

Let us seek the Three Traitors in each one of our acts of daily living. And let us remember that all I-s are judged for Treason.
