Learn How to Think, Not What to Think
"The fundamental education is the science
of the consciousness; it is the science that
allows us to discover our relationship with
human beings, nature, and all things."
—Samael Aun Weor
The problems afflicting society today are
firmly rooted in the modern approach to
education, which focuses on memorization
and imitation rather than genuine
understanding and practical importance…

Lecture 11 — The Three Minds

In this podast Mr. E. Jim G. Ross talks
about the three minds. If we happen to be
out on the street and a speeding car is
coming toward us, we jump out of the way.
If we take the time to think about it; we are
dead. In martial arts we spend many years
learning how to stop thinking. In combat, we
must also learn how to react instantly –
without thinking. The act of thinking gets in
the way and slows us down. This is
intuition (or non-thinking) which can keep us
out of trouble, but only if we learn how to
use it.
Our three minds are actually three “belief
systems” or three methods of thinking. Mr.
Ross uses Biblical references to identify two
of the types. For example, the pharisees
were the believers in God; and the
sadducees were more like the atheists.
There is a third type of mind called the inner
mind. This is connected with higher
intelligence, or Divinity. The extreme
thinking of the pharisees and the sadducees
are both wrong.
According to Walter Russell, called “the
man who taped the secrets of the universe,”
we must come in contact with our inner
Mind to find the true genius within. He uses
the capital letter “M” in the word Mind to
symbolize the reference to divinity. If you
want to accomplish something, you first
concentrate and then decentrate.
Decentrate is a word that Walter Russell
invented to refer to the process of no longer
thinking. This process (or lack of process)
brings us into direct contact with God – or
the God within.
Jose Silva, founder of The Silva Method,
spoke about this as well. According to him, if
you want to do something mystical such as
remote viewing or healing you have to learn
how to meditate first. In other words we
have to remove ourselves from the day-to-
day thoughts of life and enter into the alpha
state. This is a lower brain wave frequency
that sets yourself up to being able to see
into walls, dowse, or even heal yourself.
There is a danger in all of this. If you do not
annihilate your negative psychological
aggregates, you will fall into what Samael
Aun Weor calls black magic. We see
suffering individuals all the time talking to
themselves on the subway. These mentally
ill people have no idea what is going on
inside of them. Perhaps we are all guilty of
doing that at one time or another. But
severely mentally ill people cannot stop
talking to their demons within. Mr. Ross
says that our consciousness is being held
prisoner by our own seven deadly sins or
egos.
This is lecture number 11 in a series of
continuing podcasts on Gnostic
Anthropology. If you have listened to all 11
podcasts you are in for a real surprise.
Lecture 12 holds one of the most important
keys in the series. If you have not listened
to any of these podcasts, I suggest you
start at lecture number 1.
