The desire for knowledge of oneself and of the Real, and its refusal

At the base of the knowledge, of the cognitive possibility of the individual, is without shadow the search for self-knowledge is doubtful.
This is because he who does not know himself cannot even master himself.

He is not master of his own impulses, he has no dominion over his own will and therefore, even on an intellectual level, he remains blocked in such a way that he cannot truly seek and obtain knowledge.

The important thing is not only "knowing oneself", but also "wanting to do it".
Wanting to know oneself, in fact, already predisposes to be perceptive towards knowledge.

The essential and necessary basis is that impulse, that search anxiety, that desire to improve which is included in the attempt to understand oneself and therefore, consequently and in the broadest sense, to also know the truth external to oneself.

He who does not really feel this will, he who only pretends to want to know himself (but it is something he shows to others, while in reality he refuses to know himself because he is afraid of it, he is afraid to look at himself in the eyes), causes particular reactions within it.

You know that each individual is made up, as we have said several times, of various bodies: physical body, astral body, mental body, Akasic body and so on.
Ordunque the individual who has limits, blocks, impediments to want to know himself, causes unconsciously to cause reactions within the astral body and the mental body which preside, as you well know, over sensations, emotions. and at the thought. These blocks affect, as is inevitable, on the physical body, and also on the behavior of the individual in the external world.

They have repercussions on the physical body because a blockage within the mental body causes, in the best of cases, those changes in attention that you are so often used to notice in yourself; that difficulty concentrating which disturbs you when, perhaps, you try to do something that you think, but it seems to you only in reality, that you want to do.
Have you ever had this feeling?

Here, this corresponds to a block within the mental body and indicates that within your mental body, at that moment, for various reasons, there are such sudden changes in energy that your thought is unable to remain fixed, and to maintain unaltered contact with what is the main organ of the mental body on the physical plane, that is, the brain.
This therefore causes some difficulties in learning, concentration, attention.

In other cases these blocks may be present within the astral body.
As a consequence - comparing them to what has just been said - the blockage on the astral body causes disturbances in what are the emotional impulses.
I disturbances of emotional impulses, you know, they almost always translate, on the physical body, into sensations, and if you observed yourself when you try to do something that, perhaps not even so unconsciously, you would like not to do, you would realize how often an itch distracts you , a hot flash makes you think maybe you are sick, and on and on and on.
These are sensations due to these blocks within the astral body that affect your physical body, in order to differently address what you are doing because, internally, you have no great intention of doing it.

All this usually - and especially for the astral body - causes these blocks to have repercussions in nervous terms, in psychosomatic symptoms, or in what are called "hysterical symptoms" and so on.
In short, this reflects the resistance of the individual to not really wanting to know something about himself, either because the unknown is frightening, either because the individual does not feel ready to face himself, or because the individual prefers not to face himself as he does not want to recognize what he truly feels, in that moment.

But, leaving aside those who do not really want to know each other, let's see for a moment, instead, people who feel the impulse, the desire, the desire to know themselves, but also to know the Reality.

It is clear that since there is a real desire to know oneself, even in the moments in which you run into something that bothers and annoys, the energy block on the other planes is not very strong and, sooner or later, is overcome through awareness. and an understanding of what it is that causes it.

This leads to a dynamic situation, but dynamic in a positive sense, because there is a continuous block, followed by an overcoming, then a further block, then a further overcoming and on and on and on, with a process of continuous, slow growth. at the beginning and then faster and faster as the understanding and the feel increase.

All this leads to a greater ability to concentrate, to a better use of one's intellectual abilities, to a greater push to try to broaden knowledge as it is normally understood on the physical level, that is the learning of notions that can be used for to help understand something greater.

We have reached such a point in the teaching that it is not possible to keep repeating the same things over and over again; we will necessarily have to face more complex, more abstruse issues that allow us, however, to gradually compose the apparently loose and fragmentary mosaic that we have created for you.

Therefore, all your sincerity, your will, your most heartfelt intention will be necessary.

To those in need of affection, our future teaching may appear dry, mental, cold, precisely because it is apparently too tied to knowledge.
Often people outside the Circle have spoken of faith in us. Well: we want this faith not to blind you!

You could say that in order to arrive at the Truth and, therefore, at an "enlightenment", it is not necessary that there be knowledge, at least judging by what many people say, namely that individuals without any culture, at any moment, "become enlightened", reaching such an evolutionary point that that will be their last physical life.
Io I cannot say that this does not happen: this can happen. It can also happen, at the limit, even for each of you, that now, coming out of these places, for example, something clicks in you that makes you come to the understanding of the Truth, thus making you come out of the wheel of births and deaths.

However, you were even now the most ignorant and uneducated person in this world, that doesn't mean that the knowledge gained in previous lives has not served as a substrate to this your attainment of the Truth!

So, I repeat, there must be a good deal of knowledge, without which it is not possible to proceed or, at least, without which it is not possible to arrive at something more substantial than a simple knowledge as an end in itself.
Of course, by knowledge I don't mean the one touted by schools, or a repetition from memory aimed at obtaining a grade that counts practically nothing, or to be declared good, intelligent or so on, but knowledge aimed precisely at having a general picture of Reality as complete as possible.
I repeat: remember that reality is made up of a thousand facets, and only by embracing all realities can Reality be known! Scifo
