The three mentalities:
The first, we can and must call it the "Sensory Mind"; the second, we shall call it the "Intermediate Mind"; and the third, we shall call it the "Inner Mind".
We will now study each of these three minds separately and appropriately.
Undoubtedly, the Sensory Mind develops its concepts through external sensory perceptions.
Under these conditions, the Sensory Mind is terribly crude and materialistic, and therefore it can accept nothing that has not first been physically demonstrated.
Since the concepts contained in the Sensory Mind are based on external sensory data, it is evident that it can know nothing about the Real, about Truth, about the mysteries of life and death, about the Soul and the Spirit, etc.
For the frivolous of intellect, completely captivated by the external senses and trapped in the concepts of the Sensory Mind, our esoteric studies are nothing but a heap of nonsense.
Within the reason of unreason, in the world of the absurd, they are right because they are conditioned by the external sensory world. How could the Sensory Mind accept something that does not pertain to the senses?
If sensory information serves as the secret spring for all the mechanisms and processes of the Sensorial Mind, it is evident that these functionalisms can only give rise to sensory concepts.
The Intermediate Mind is different; however, it too knows nothing directly about reality; it merely believes, and that is all.
The Intermediate Mind contains religious beliefs, unshakable dogmas, and so on.
Inner Mental is fundamental to the direct experience of truth.
Indubitably, the Inner Mind elaborates its concepts with the data provided by the superlative consciousness of the Being.
Undoubtedly, consciousness can live and experience the Real. There is no doubt that consciousness truly knows.
However, to manifest itself, consciousness requires a mediator, an instrument of action, which is none other than the Inner Mental.
Consciousness directly knows the reality of each natural phenomenon and, through the Inner Mental, it can manifest it.
Opening the Inner Mind is essential to escape the world of doubt and ignorance.
This means that only the opening of the Inner Mind gives rise to authentic faith in the Human Being.
If we consider this question from another angle, we would say that materialist skepticism is the hallmark of ignorance. There is no doubt, in fact, that cultivated ignorants are one hundred percent skeptical.
Faith is the direct perception of reality, fundamental wisdom, and the lived experience of that which lies beyond the body of affects and the mind.
We must distinguish between faith and belief. Beliefs are deposited in the Intermediate Mind; faith is the property of the Inner Mind.
Unfortunately, there is still a general tendency to confuse belief with faith. As paradoxical as it may seem, we will assert the following: “one who has authentic faith does not need to believe.”
For authentic faith is lived wisdom, exact knowledge, direct experience.
It is that for many centuries faith has been confused with beliefs, and now it is very difficult to make people understand that faith is true wisdom and never vain beliefs.
The sapiens functionalities of the Inner Mind have, as their intimate springs, all these formidable data of wisdom contained in consciousness.
Those who have opened the Inner Mind remember their past lives; they know the mysteries of life and death, not by what they have read or neglected to read, not by what another has told them or neglected to tell them, nor by what they have believed or neglected to believe, but by direct, lived, terribly real experience.
What we are saying does not please the Sensory Mind; it cannot accept it because it lies outside its domain, has nothing to do with external sensory perceptions, and is foreign to the concepts it contains, to what it was taught in school, to what it learned in various books, and so on.
What we are saying is also not accepted by the Intermediate Mind, because this actually contradicts its beliefs and devalues what its religious instructors have had it memorize, etc.
Jesus, the Great Kabire, advised his disciples by saying: “Beware of the leaven of the Sadducees and the leaven of the Pharisees.”
It is evident that Jesus Christ, by this warning, was referring to the doctrines of the materialist Sadducees and the hypocritical Pharisees.
The doctrine of the Sadducees is in the Sensory Mental, it is the doctrine of the five senses.
The doctrine of the Pharisees is situated in the Intermediate Mental, this is irrefutable, undeniable.
It is evident that the Pharisees rush to their rites so that people will say they are good people, to appear before others, but they never work on themselves.
It would be impossible to open the Inner Mental if we did not learn to think psychologically.
Undoubtedly, when one undertakes to observe oneself, it is a sign that one has begun to think psychologically.
As long as we do not acknowledge the reality of our own psychology and the possibility of fundamentally changing it, we will undoubtedly not feel the need for psychological self-observation.
It goes without saying that the elimination of the undesirable elements we plow into our psyche is the source of the opening of the Inner Mental.
All of this means that this opening is something that unfolds gradually, as we annihilate the undesirable elements we carry within our psyche.
He who has eliminated to one hundred percent the undesirable elements within himself will, at the same time, of course, have opened his Inner Mind to one hundred percent.
Such a person will possess absolute faith. You will now understand the words of Christ when He said: “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will move mountains.”
