As the
experience of “Death and Rebirth” is fundamental to the
emotionally-rooted cultures of Latin America, the
process outlined in these pages is fundamental to the
more mentally-polarized cultures of Europe and North
America. Workshops on the process of quintessence are
the logical pre-requisites for advanced training in the
Inner Alchemy vein.
This book was inspired by the Christian esoteric
teachings of Stylianos Atteshlis, known as “Daskalos”.
Replete with biblical quotations and parallels to
contemporary psychological thought, it is a depth study
of human thought-forms, also known as elementals,
constructed around seven basic energetic qualifications.
These seven frequencies are seen to lay the foundation
for the behaviour patterns of humanity striving towards
virtue or, conversely, helplessly caught within vicious
cycles of self-destructive and life-denying habits.
This fourth book is a significant treatise on the
operational mode of the seven vices in our everyday
expression, helping us to understand how we may, through
understanding and alignment with our essential Self,
gain the necessary momentum to transmute the forces
involved in the compulsions, obsessions and
preoccupations which drain our bodies and personalities
of precious life-force.
To demonstrate the mechanics of negative influence and
our hook into them, the examples in this book are set on
the pattern of the enneagram (a nine pointed star symbol),
reintroduced to our generation by Oscar Ichazo and
expanded by Claudio Naranjo, Helen Palmer, and others.
There is, however, a very important modification. In
this book fear stands out as the primal trigger, the
consequence of the absence of love. Upon this platform,
deceit (or rather self-deceit initially) drives us to
construct an array of machinations which eventually
expose
the personality to infiltration from the dark side.
A fundamental concept of this book is the issue of
darkness as negativity (destructiveness, disharmony).
This, the author holds, is not part of our human nature,
as many would have us think. It is, however, an
essential part of our experience. The depth obtained by
living through our temptations delivers us through the
peak experience of life itself as transmutation. This is
the process of quintessence: beyond the binding laws of
the four elements, into the liberating matrix of their
essential part. Negative elemental patterns may become
natural and spontaneous virtue.
The book is divided into three parts. Part One deals
with the phenomena arising from the absence of real (spiritual,
unconditional) love in our lives, and includes a
description of the pathway of the egoism of the
personality. Part Two is split up into nine segments
pertaining to fear, deceit and each of the seven vices
and their personality types around the primal energetic
lines of the enneagram. Part Three concludes with ways
and means of constructing a better world within our own
selves and environment. Two appendixes provide the
interested reader with keys to discover his particular
pattern of egoism, and with insight into the way in
which he may be using his divine faculties of thinking
and feeling.
This is probably the most thought-provoking of the
series of books by Zulma Reyo, providing tangible
insight into the minds and hearts of readers who seek to
awaken to their essential love-nature in order to
remould themselves according to the divine pattern of
the Real Human and concretely contribute to the
upholding of true values and a better humanity.
