Dantesque Circles 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Unlike the Phase A conference, where we studied the Nine Dantesque Circles of our interior world, in the present one we refer to the Infra-dimensions of the Planet Earth.

First Dantesque Circle — Submerged Sphere of the Moon

This circle is subject to 96 laws.

This region is called Limbo. It is the Hall of Hell.

It is formed by all the caverns of the planet united astrally.

In this circle are all the disincarnated who have not exhausted their 108 existences.

Here they recapitulate the existence that has just passed, while they wait for their next return.

All the inhabitants of this region continue doing the same things they did in the physical world. All go about with the Consciousness asleep. We also find here all the incarnate human beings who do not possess Solar Bodies.

In this circle are found all those who have not been baptized — sincere ones in error who believed liberation possible without the necessity of sexual magic.

This is the circle of the lazy ones.

Here are all the human beings who did not transmute the seminal waters.

Second Dantesque Circle — Submerged Sphere of Mercury

This circle is subject to 192 laws.

There we feel the hurricane wind of mercury — a certain fatal aerial element.

The perpetual boiling of those negative passional forces, which originate the astral tides.

Region where the human understanding does not work.

World of brutal instincts, where lasciviousness is mixed with the impetus of violence.

Here we find all the fornicators who enjoy extracting from their organism the Sacred Sperm.

They cohabit incessantly and hate to death all that has the flavor of Chastity.

Here dwell millions of human creatures with the abominable Kundartiguador organ totally developed.

Those who enter into this circle have no possibility of return. From time to time, though very rarely, the masters who work here can help those who truly repent sincerely.

Fornication and lust are the foundation of the Ego that exists.

Third Dantesque Circle — Submerged Sphere of Venus

This circle is subject to 384 laws.

There are found: incessant rain, frightful cold, mud, black waters, putrefaction, etc.

In this circle moves pleasure; here we find taverns, cabarets, brothels, orgies, and bacchanals. All this is found in the submerged sphere of Venus.

Those who have lived from orgy to orgy, from tavern to tavern, submerged in the mud of the great festivities, banquets and drunkenness, know very well how one feels after a night of revelry.

Many wishing to drown in wine the disastrous state in which they remain after a debauch, continue on the path of vice, until arriving at the total catastrophe of their organism. After pleasure comes pain.

In this region the deceased hear with horror the frightful barks of Cerberus, the infernal dog — symbolic hound that, with its three cruel jaws, represents the violent, Luciferian animal sexual passions, beyond all control.

There are the pleasures of old Rome of the Caesars, converted into fatal results. All the feasts, the adulterers, the lesbians, the poets of the degenerate, the proud lords of the great feasts, abode of gluttons, drunkards, drug addicts, all the sexual pleasures, etc.

Flatteries, praises, applause, sweet words, regal vestments, oaths of love, seductions, caresses, kisses, perfumes, magnificent dances, comforts, the fascination of the places, the ostentatious meals. Now only the pestilence of the underground world of Venus.

After all the pleasures, only tears remain — symbolized by the rain of that horrible region, those pestilent waters of bitterness, and the horrendous mud of misery.

Fourth Dantesque Circle — Submerged Sphere of the Sun

This circle is subject to 768 laws.

In the solar hells of the planet Earth, we find all the unbalanced ones, with two defined types — the squanderers and the misers.

Squandering is as absurd as avarice; here we learn to keep ourselves faithful to the balance. The violation of equilibrium brings painful karmic consequences. The prodigal, the squanderer, he who wastes his money — although in the depth he feels very generous — is indubitably violating the Law. The miser, he who does not let his money circulate, he who egoistically retains it in an undue form beyond the normal, ostensibly is harming the collectivity, taking bread from many people, impoverishing his fellow men. For that motive, he is violating the law of equilibrium, the law of the balance.

The squanderer, although he apparently does good by making the coin circulate in an intensive form, logically produces imbalance not only in himself, but also with the general movement of values. This in the long run causes tremendous economic harm to the peoples. Prodigals and misers transform themselves into beggars, and this is proven.

It is urgent to cooperate with the law of the eternal trogo-auto-egocratic-cosmic-common — not to obstruct economic equilibrium, not to harm oneself, not to prejudice others.

In the inferno, desperate, the prodigals and misers blaspheme against the divinity, curse, combat each other mutually, submerge themselves in frightful desperation.

Here we also find all the exploiters of bodies and souls — lottery players, dice and card players, priests and hierarchs, mystics who insatiably covet the goods of others.

Fifth Dantesque Circle — Submerged Sphere of Mars

This circle is subject to 1,536 laws.

It is evident, then, that the fifth submerged region turns out much more gross than the previous ones. Therefore the suffering is greater there.

In this circle stand out the ironic, furious, haughty, arrogant, and proud people.

Murderers, violent ones, destroyers, blasphemers who curse, persons full of hatred and vengeance, self-considered people, people who wound each other mutually among themselves, the wicked and perverse who threaten. All these people believe they are doing very well; none even supposes for an instant that they march along the paths of darkness and horror, and that they are going badly. All of them feel themselves saints and virtuous.

Some desperate I-s flee from other attacking I-s, and all are parts of the same Ego. Each of the parts flees without consolation, terrified, trying to hide from each of the other parts. Nothing agreeable turns out for the deceased to try to flee from themselves, to feel horror of themselves.

The consciousness of the deceased in the fifth circle comes to know its own evils, its own horrors, its unprecedented violences, the nefarious wrath. The consciousness tries to flee from itself, from those horrifying, violent monsters.

In the fifth natural Infra-dimension of our planet Earth, the consciousness comes to face itself, knows itself, looking at itself with many eyes, from diverse angles, in accordance with each of its I-s.

To wallow in so much mud, to flee from oneself, to feel terror of oneself, the I confronted with the I, parts of myself confronted with myself, is certainly the horror of horrors — the indescribable, the dread that has no words to express itself.

I invite you to comprehend completely that each of these devil I-s carries in its interior a well-defined percentage of our own Consciousness.
