Beschreibung
What is suggested in this small book is an operational synthesis that may be taken as the basic scheme for any possible Way to realization.
When an aspirant is stimulated to undertake the Way leading to the realization of the Self, when he or she is no longer interested in the multitude of books available on the most varied subjects and has ceased talking haphazardly of spiritual things, his consciousness demands of him a more operative and decisive action, aimed at solving his restless yearnings. At this point, from a vague wandering, a searching here and there, he will move on to the concrete application of his sādhanā (realizative ascesis) and to the choice of a Path that is most congenial to his psychological state.
For one who is ready, this operational synthesis could prove to be sufficient to raise him to the realization of that Being that is and does not become. For one who is mature, just a few indications are sufficient to enable him to put his wings back on and fly to Freedom.
If an ens (integral being) lives in conflict, in material and psychological suffering, restlessness and dissatisfaction, it means that something is not working within himself, or something is wrong in his life conduct. It may be that his way of living rests on an incorrect vision of existence, that he is following a dead-end philosophy of life, so much that he resigns himself and proceeds by force of inertia, or passively conforms to the chaotic collective unconscious, without any prospect of ever emerging from it.
Yet, without a doubt, there are optimal solutions for the restless and anguished human being. But one should be more responsive, more flexible, more humble and ready to listen to a voice which one is unlikely to run into in this world of dichotomy.
Maturity, that is often gained under the hammer of suffering, sooner or later will force us to remove the Eye of intelligence from things that are not (world of duality) and direct it toward the splendour of one's own essential nature. Undoubtedly, this implies an overturning of values, a psychological revolution, tending no longer toward the ineffective and unfruitful horizontal line, but toward the vertical one leading to awakening, to the unveiling of marvelous potentialities, the prerogative of the human soul.
I will give you the keys to open the doors of the Temple.
In It you will find the regenerating Fire
that will expand you as much as creation,
the flaming sword to fight the binding darkness,
the resplendent and constant Truth.
Raphael
