Don't bind yourself to spiritual organizations, trust in feeling

And the Buddha spoke for those who wanted to listen; and those who wanted to listen did not always know how to do it; and those who knew how to listen often could not understand the words of the Enlightened One; and whoever succeeded in applying them almost always did so only in cases in which this was useful to him; and whoever applied them constantly found himself face to face with suffering; and those who came face to face with suffering had the possibility of fully understanding the first of the eight ways taught by the Buddha.

What does all this have to do, dear creatures, with our coming among you? It has something to do with it, because if you fail to understand that true ethical and philosophical teaching goes beyond racial barriers, beyond the temporal situation in which it is inserted, beyond the moral code that a race or an era they possess, beyond the very words that can cover it and which in general, being reported, are for the most part distorted; if you cannot fully understand all this, then you will always remain Catholic or Communist, materialist or spiritualist, that is, with the path you should take blocked by a label that will make understanding more difficult.
This is why we invite you to abolish labels, to try to eliminate - in your work - any form of organization, especially if it is aimed at spiritual learning, since every corporation tends to become party, to look after its own interests at the expense of those of others. In short, it ends up by masking behind a label, or a hierarchy, the degeneration of the original intentions, however noble they might be.
Think for a moment of the various secret societies that, over the millennia, have flourished in human history: although the flower was beautiful, gaudy and fragrant, in the end the harvested fruit was rotten and intoxicating for those who tasted it even just for a bit.
There is no need to look too far to understand how this is a true, real and continually at the forefront of human history: what has happened right in your country regarding Freemasonry recently is palpable and evident proof.
Of course, the flavor of mystery and magic that awakens the history of that secret society in the layman has made it even more threatening in the eyes of the people, arousing great sensation and indignation at all levels.
But, while certainly not excusing what happened in that lodge, and even knowing that what is known is only a small part of how things really are, I would be tempted to be amazed - if I did not know the reality of man. - in noting that the entire population was indignant at these facts so unworthy, when the same facts have always been part - and in a much more discovered and known way by all - of other organizations that are certainly not "secret".
Let's take the state organization: perhaps that anywhere in the world it is not based on nepotism, clientelism, fraud, physical murder and even people's morals and all this masked behind the saying: "We do it for the your good! "?
Perhaps that sublime moral teachings - such as those of Christ, for example - have not ended up becoming instruments themselves and the cause of enormous abuses? It is indeed the case to exclaim: “Poor Christ! If your opponents have crucified and tortured you with some nails, your followers, regardless of expense, have proceeded to pierce every millimeter of your body with thousands of sharp nails, perhaps for fear that you might detach yourself from the cross and not serve. more to their personal advantage! "
And, of course, the Holy Roman Church is no longer holy - now as in the past - than Freemasonry and other similar organizations! It may seem like that with my words io mock the entire history of man and his evolution, asking you to deny everything around you by falling into anarchy, but it is not so. What has happened up to now was necessary for man to teach him the rudiments of spiritual life, and every organization, however useless and closed it may appear - has its own specific place, has its own meaning, within human evolution. , and planted a seed for this evolution to continue.
However, the time is ripe when all this has lost its usefulness, and must be discarded and overcome like everything that is becoming useless. An adult who had not disengaged from the use of diapers would be anachronistic, don't you think? And this, regardless of the fact that diapers have had their own usefulness and a very specific reason for being.
Thus the time comes for man to observe and understand the teachings of the Masters, not having them explained by the organizations, but analyzing them himself through the resonances of his own conscience and of his own "feel".
For this reason we sometimes offer you the words of ancient sages: so that you, alone, will be able to put yourselves in communion with them through your heart. And - I guarantee you - the teachings of the Masters of the past, pruned by the additions that organizations have imposed on them, are no different from what we continually propose to you.
An example? Let's take the Buddha: of course you know that his doctrine was based on eight ways that the spiritual seeker had at his disposal in order to reach inner liberation, to free himself from his human physicality, to achieve fusion with the Whole.
It is not the case, for now, to examine the whole Buddhist doctrine; it is enough to examine the first way which is the one defined as "right knowledge".
But what did the Buddha mean by these two words, so simple? Scifo

Right knowledge is not only understanding what good is and what evil is, but it is coming to recognize what creates them within man. He who understands good and evil understands that they arise from the attempt to avoid suffering, or from the fact of trying not to be prey to it, but the right knowledge cannot stop at the effects; thus it must go back to the root of suffering, which must be recognized in desire, as suffering arises from unfulfilled desire.
But desire does not belong to man, it belongs to his ego, which, with it, dresses in sumptuous clothes to feed itself; the right knowledge is thus that which leads to knowing not only good and evil, not only suffering, not only desire, but what from which they arise, that is, the ego.
Know and fully understand your ego and desire will no longer move you, and suffering will no longer tear you apart, and good and evil will no longer fight within you.
Isn't that what we - in other words, adapted to your current feeling - propose to you?
How easy it is, for those who do not understand, to receive this teaching in this form as a renunciation of life, an instigation to abulia, inactivity, passivity, inner annihilation while, for those who understand, it appears in its right light of understanding of reality and expansion of individual consciousness far beyond the narrow confines of one's ego.
Let's listen, again, to the words of the Buddha:
“Whoever has conquered faith and wisdom is carried forward by his harmonious being as if he were in a chariot.
Consciousness directs him, mind serves him, righteousness holds him together and ecstasy sustains him, energy makes him move and calm makes him stable, lack of desire blossoms, benevolence, gentleness and serenity they make him invincible, understanding defends him on his way to peace.
This immense and unparalleled chariot every man can build by himself by evolving his own I ”. Weather
