Conference A12
RETURN AND RECURRENCE

A man is what his life is, if a man does not modify anything within himself, if he does not radically transform his life, if he does not work on himself, he is miserably wasting his time.
Death is the return to the very beginning of one's life with the possibility of repeating it again. Much has been said in Pseudo-Esoteric and Pseudo-Occult literature on the topic of successive lives, it is better that we focus on successive existences.
The life of each of us with all its times is always the same, repeating itself from existence to existence, through the countless centuries. Undoubtedly we continue in the seed of our descendants; this is something that has already been proven.
The life of each of us in particular is a living film that we take with us to eternity when we die. Each of us takes his film and brings it back to project it again on the screen of a new existence.

If possible, it waits for its next existence in limbo
The repetition of dramas, comedies, and tragedies is a fundamental axiom of the Law of Recurrence. In each new existence, the same circumstances are always repeated.
The actors of such repeated scenes are those people who live within our interior, the "Selves". If we disintegrate those actors, those "Selves" that originate the always repeated scenes of our life, then the repetition of such circumstances would become more than impossible. Obviously without actors there can be no scenes; this is something irrefutable, undeniable.
This is how we can free ourselves from the Laws of Return and Recurrence; this is how we can truly become free.
Obviously, each of the characters (Selves) that we carry within us repeats the same role from existence to existence; if we disintegrate it, if the actor dies, the role comes to an end.

Reflecting seriously on the law of recurrence or repetition of scenes in each return, we discover through intimate self-observation the secret springs of this question.
If in the past existence at the age of twenty-five (25) years we had a love affair, it is undoubtedly that the "I" of such a commitment will seek the lady of his dreams at the age of twenty-five (25) years in the new existence. If the lady in question was only fifteen (15) years old then, the "I" of such an adventure will seek his beloved in the new existence at the same exact age. It is clear to understand that the two "I's", both his and hers, will seek each other telepathically and meet again to repeat the same love adventure of the past existence.
Two enemies who fought to the death in the past existence will seek each other out again in the new existence to repeat their tragedy at the corresponding age.
If two people had a dispute over real estate at the age of forty (40) in the past existence, at the same age they will telepathically seek each other out in the new existence to repeat the same thing. Within each of us live many people full of commitments; that is irrefutable.
  • A thief carries within him a "cave" of thieves with various criminal commitments.
  • The murderer carries within himself a "club" of murderers
  • and the lustful carries in his psyche a "brothel".
The seriousness of all this is that the intellect is unaware of the existence of such people or "Selves" within itself and of such commitments that are inevitably being fulfilled.
All these commitments of the "Selves" that dwell within us occur beneath our reason. They are facts that we ignore, things that happen to us, events that are processed in the subconscious and unconscious. It has rightly been said that everything happens to us, just as when it rains or when it thunders.
We really have the illusion of doing, but we do nothing, it happens to us, this is fatal, mechanical... Our personality is merely the instrument of different people (Selves), through which each of those people (Selves) fulfills their commitments.
Many things happen below our cognitive capacity, unfortunately we ignore what is happening below our poor reason.
We consider ourselves wise when in truth we do not even know that we do not know. We are wretched logs swept away by the raging waves of the sea of existence.
To emerge from this misfortune, from this unconsciousness, from the lamentable state in which we find ourselves, is only possible by dying within ourselves... How could we awaken without first dying? Only with death does the new arrive! If the seed does not die, the plant cannot be born.
Whoever truly awakens thereby acquires full objectivity of their consciousness, authentic enlightenment, happiness...
