Gnostic Question of the Week

How can one quiet the mind?

Answer from the V.M. Samael Aun Weor.

Much has been said in the East about the Buddha and the Buddhas. It would take too long to list and define all the "Buddhas of Perfection." In the Mahayana heaven, there exist thousands of Buddhas—not only in texts but also in temples, where artists have tirelessly depicted them. It must be said that for every truly revolutionary individual, there exists a Buddha. Only the rebellious person—the one capable of dissolving the "ego" to forge a "soul," and who is able to eternally renounce the ejaculation of semen in order to awaken the "fire" and forge the "spirit"—is truly worthy of embodying their own inner Buddha. "To those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away." Every courageous person, every true rebel, becomes a Buddha.

Answer from the magazine "The The wisdom of the Being.".

The anecdotes concerning the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) are more than mere stories; they reveal his teachings on detachment, compassion, and enlightenment. The life of any Master—such as Krishna, Jesus, or Quetzalcóatl—contains profound esoteric revelations, a vast body of knowledge that we ought to integrate into our daily lives. While some aspects of these accounts may have been part of their actual lives, others did not necessarily occur in the physical realm; they pertain to their inner lives. Furthermore, these accounts are symbolic and offer us a significant lesson—one that we must apply in our daily existence, moment by moment. It is up to us to intuitively grasp the profound realities contained within the life of the Buddha. Buddha represents the Being—the Inner Self—to us, just as Jesus and Quetzalcóatl represented the Inner Christ. His physical birth does not refer to the birth of his body; rather, it refers to the birth of the Being within each of us.
