This workbook
was originally written in Spanish and used in the
workshops under the same name offered by the Centre for
Inner Alchemy in São Paulo and in Buenos Aires. It was
converted into book form so that the general public, who
may not have access to the workshop or who might be
frightened by the depth and amplitude of this kind of
work in group might also benefit from its teachings in
privacy.
Faced with the urgent need to understand the creation of
personal reality (our world) and the dynamics involved
in the inverse process, when that personal reality is
dispersed and redirected during the process of death,
this workbook and workshop combination brings the
individual face to face with himself, his subconscious
drives, and his investments. The method outlined here,
although apparently similar to others currently used to
evoke personality changes through the writing of letters
and guided introspection, is quite different. Side-by-side
the psychological aspect, energies of extremely high
voltage are carefully invoked and sustained during
specific parts of the process to awaken higher levels of
consciousness, attunement and collaboration with
archangelic expression linked to initiatic forces. The
primary influences noted in this work are from the Books
of the Dead, Christian esoteric science and Buddhist
psychology.
No distinction is made between the death of the physical
body, a fact that overshadows everyone’s existence, and
the death of the ego as prescribed by spiritual teaching.
In death, what ceases to be is the artificially created
personal identity within a context of consensual reality.
Ultimate reality is something altogether different and
opens the consciousness to infinite possibilities, forms,
identities and alternate realities.
The individual first needs to understand his own emotive-thought
projection activity as an attachment to continuity.
Absolute discontinuity is required in order to gain
greater (higher vantage) insight and acquire greater (stronger,
finer force) potential needed to reconstruct oneself and
one’s life. A switch from a form-based centralized
viewpoint to a wider, embracing perspective is needed
for the individual who must learn that he is the essence
which inhabits myriad forms, including formless
consciousness in God. This process is a prerequisite in
South America for the handling of alchemical formulas
and advanced workshops of multidimensionality.
The reader who wishes to individually create the
environment for his own experience of ego-death may
avail himself of the sequences in this book.
Individually, or within the laboratory conditions of the
Center, the process is delicate, serious, and not
without dangers. In the opening chapters the reader
stands forewarned against the projection of fantasy and
illusion, the ambitiousness which drives most paranormal
research, and the consequences of entering into such an
experience without proper emotional stability and
preparation. This is a step by step advance through the
purification of the emotions which is the hallmark of
esoteric practice. Correctly tapped, emotions lead to
true insight into Reality. The process of Death and
Rebirth refines sensitivity and refocuses intelligence
so that the gap between mystical intuition and
intellectual comprehension is bridged.
As a formal workshop, this process is performed over a
five-day period of inner reevaluation and reformulation.
Introspection is combined with emotional experience,
exercises and meditations which gradually loosen the
hold of the personality in favour of a flexible
structure of consciousness.
The newest version of this work, begun in 2004, is
called Khrysallis, and is offered to participants yearly.
Level I represents the original experience of ego death,
optionally followed by Level II a year later. This takes
place at the Centre in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in the
Fall.
