Silo in Buenos Aires, April 20, 2003

Buenos Aires, April 20, 2003.

Notes from the 2nd assembled meeting of The Message.

Participants: Mario, Alicia, Isaías, Fabiana, Ana, Hugo, Norma, Rosario & Silvia.

The meeting began with an interchange about different activities developed by each Messenger.

Few comments from Mario:

- It is common that participants of the weekly meeting request for the Well-being ceremony. The Ceremony of Recognition, instead, is conflictive and creates problems for people. It is not a neutral thing.

- We are not yet able to observe tendencies in regard to radio programs: the responses vary according to on-the-air schedules, if the radio makes announcements or not and to what is said on the air: call now, call after the program. Anyway there are many variables like the radio’s scope, a particular neighborhood, etc.

- It is very good that people are in two or three things at the same time: they participate in some religion (Christians, Moslems, etc.) and they also participate in the Message of Silo. Spiritual issues are proposed in a very dialectic manner: Hindus – Zoroastrians; Christians – Moslems. It demarcates the territory and marks the enemy. Our placement is different. People do not have to leave or abandon anything they are doing; they do not have to leave their religion or beliefs. On the contrary, they can integrate everything. If you are a Moslem or a Christian you can be in the Message, here you will find inspiration to better understand your things. Do not propose things in a dialectic manner. It is an integrative Message. We try to demonstrate that whatever they are involved in, it is a theme that could be useful for everybody. Some day they will understand that everything that has been said by the external religions has an inner content and that we are addressing that inner content. Everybody can participate in that which is internal in the Message, even if it differs externally, it is common to all religions.

We must invite all: Mormons, Christians, Jews, Moslems, etc. We don’t leave anybody out: priests, pastors and rabbis etc. and why not inviting Popes also. And it will be excellent to do our ceremonies in their temples, in their environments. It will be good for them and their faithful. This could be a theme of inspiration and of depth for their particular institutions. There is no problem with getting into their caves; we could make our meetings in churches, in mosques, etc. Then, conflictive situations might arise generated by them, but we don’t worry if a mess takes place. We bring people closer to their interior.

That they might confuse us with the church? We don’t care at all.
Others may set limitations, we don’t, where they close, we open.

We must think which is the best tactic to do this, how to enter; the best moment to do so, but it is going toward that. We do not have limitations. The thing is inclusive not dialectic.

- With regard to the Experience of Well-being, also invite the doctor or nurse that is providing treatment. The sick person should also ask for others while others are asking for him.

- With regard to the work we are doing, we observe that it is difficult to crystallize because we have not given it any form. The nature of this very gaseous thing is like that, when it crystallizes it will do it with its own forms, with its own laws. The day that this “gaseous thing" takes shape it will be because of need. The need to give it form is not yet seen, not even people’s behavior is clear. Tendencies can be seen through their comments, but not definitive situations.

Tendencies will inspire forms. People have the sensitivity of the epoch, they cannot leave their circuits. We see certain constants in the activities, these constants are going to inspire the forms that it will take in the near future. We have to see The Message running through different social strata, latitudes, languages, there are certain constants. Those constants are beginning to appear and we will take them very much into account as soon as it becomes necessary. Today we are watching what people are doing and we are observing.

It is also very interesting to offer assistance to the dying, relatives and dear ones, as a voluntary service without making a distinction about beliefs.

Would the activities take root in hospitals, orphanages, prisons… or in those who feel inspired to take The Message to those places?
It may be that people with disposition to carry The Message will begin to show up and not necessarily those who are in “bad shape” (in hospitals, prisons, etc.)

People have many possibilities when they feel a real need for inner change. In that sense, some go ahead without prejudices. The rest of the people still have some margin to continue divagating in things that do not exist. When everything finally falls over their heads they will also feel that need.

- What always ends up happening with people that are in contact with us and do some of the Experiences is that beyond the fact that they may or may not continue, relationships are always good (even if we just met.) And this is interesting because it is not so frequent. If this relationship improves or not, that is something else, what is important is that everything stays well.

- There are people with special abilities that are more sensitive to certain experiences; there are people like that. We are going to meet people with mediumistic aptitudes; they can talk to us without any problem. They are interesting.

Responses from Mario to questions related to the material “Silo’s Message inspires a profound religiosity.”

Valid Action

Question: In regard to a received note, you made a comment that unitive action is not enough, that a tendency is also needed. How is that?

Remaining quiet in a determined situation may be of internal unity, but that it is not interesting. It must be something growing, something that allows you to grow. It is a theme about dynamics where moment two must qualitatively overcome moment one. If it is a simple reproduction of what took place previously, what would happen with that?

Valid Action is a process of feedback; it modifies what is external and internal. It modifies what is taking place outside and it modifies your internal structuring. Valid Action has the characteristic of not being linked to the “result” of that action, instead the benefit for oneself lies in doing it, in doing something with an evolutionary direction. When doing Valid Actions you are becoming a factor of change.

A “good” action can be done in two directions: a retributive one or another in which I don’t care what the other person does; I feel this is interesting. The second option is convenient.

There could be many directions in the action (false hopes, expectations, etc.) The theme is if you are becoming a factor of change, or if you are waiting for the results of the action.

Coherence in the action and the evolutionary tendency always goes toward “something further away,” toward overcoming themselves.

Unity and contradiction have many consequences in several fields. One must differentiate inconveniences from contradictions; they are different. Inconveniences are resistances to your free development. A contradiction instead, comes back to oneself; it is an act that always returns, a repetitious one, a curve of time upon itself. It always returns to the same starting point, it is a vicious circle. A true contradiction stops your whole life. Instead, what is unitive lengthens time, it does not return on itself. A contradiction questions your whole life. That which is integrative carries you to project your actions in an evolutionary way. For those who concern themselves with transcendental subjects, it is interesting to comprehend that with contradictions they won’t be able to advance.

The Sacred

The Message in its essence is related to The Sacred. If one is not synchronized in that way, one should observe well one’s head and not get involved. Because the direction is that one; the internal religiosity. If it does not resonate with you, then re-examine it.

This is an Internal Religion, everything you know is outside; you are approaching that which is the origin of all things. This is the future of those actual forms and surely is much more ancient than all those forms, because it emerges from the internal, from the Profound

We are talking about another dimension, of the Profound. You do not know what the Profound is, but you can make contact with it.

This goes in a heavier, a more mystic direction. We have to see if one synchronizes with the Sacred. If you don’t, then go away… because you are going to burn your fingers and a mess is going to take place. Everything would be the expression of the Sacred.

We are not speaking of gods, but of the Sacred as if it were a space.

We are speaking of the Sacred but not of gods and if there were gods, they would be very far, but not outside in the constellations, but very far away in the Profound. Very, very far, in the Profound.

The Universe and Life.

Question: “What is an evolutionary intention?”
The word Intention can be translated as tendency.

The functioning of things is a tendency that has a direction. An evolutionary tendency. There is a tendency, a direction, times have a similar direction in all the events of the Universe. A Universe is born, takes a direction and goes on getting structured in such a way that at certain moment life emerges. Every possible Universe goes in that direction, toward life and growth. But we cannot see that tendency except by its manifestations.

Scientists invent laws that intend to describe the tendency of what is probable, for instance, the law of gravity, but those are only explanations of a manifestation of the tendency.

Tendencies in the human head are intentions. The intention motivates the act.

All animated and inanimate beings have a tendency: the constant that manifests is the repetition of a phenomenon in a direction.

It is of much interest to ask oneself Who am I?… And particularly: Where am I going? People should be interested (be occupied, investigate) about where their life goes and if they are able manage it; or discover that perhaps what they simply manage is a system of actions and reactions.

That tendency also imposes its dictate over Nature. That Intention in things moves in a direction toward increasingly complex forms. These steps take place in all processes: from inanimate matter to animate matter and finally life emerges and goes in a direction.

When matter begins to move, to nourish, to reproduce itself, it is because life is emerging and the energetic field that animates life is being structured, the “anima” or “soul”.

It is good to investigate where one is going. Things do not move in just any direction.

Energetic Field.

Energetic doubles need sensations of a different potential to achieve their development.

Sensations organize the consciousness; a system of references is needed to organized the structure of the “I”.

The distinctive sensations arrive by way of vibrations or different frequency waves (eyes, ears, perception between bands, light waves spectrums perceived by the human eye or of sounds perceived by the human ear.) And starting from them you go taking fringes, partialities of reality, not the whole reality (because there are vibrations that remain outside the spectrum and are not perceived either from the top or below of the frequencies captured by the senses.) What you smell or taste are perceived through corpuscles that arrive to the senses of smell and taste.

Waves and corpuscles arrive and are translated into sensations that give you contact with the external world, also from the internal world you obtain sensations through the internal senses. All are sensations. Sensations arriving from the external world are so important as well as sensations arriving from the internal world.

That information that arrives to the senses is energetic. Nervous and chemical circuits work together. The vibratory system corresponds to the energetic system; what is nervous is another case of the energetic system.

There exist energetic phenomena that are independent from the source that generated them. There are phenomena of that type in Nature: lightning (sparks), the fire of San Telmo, also phenomena of plasma or electromagnetic phenomena in laboratory.

If a subject accumulates unitive actions where the phenomenon is self nourishing, it makes a turn upon itself, a lot of self consciousness; an inner center will be created.

The double needs sensations, without sensations the consciousness won’t be able to work; the consciousness won’t be able to structure and everything becomes a mess. Sensations from the external and the internal senses. You cannot “pull your I out” as some say. Neither is it the case of canceling the I out, one won’t be able to move in this time and space. If you remove sensations from the consciousness ,you’ll see the mess that takes place. Forty minutes in a chamber of silence and you begin to see little angels… The consciousness cannot work without sensations.

The structure of the consciousness does not have autonomy over the internal or external sensations; everything ends when that balance of the “I” gets broken. In death, the “I” disappears and you stay with nothing.

The “I” allows us to move in the world, but if you were to “fly” (disconnecting) the I for a moment, when reconnecting you wouldn’t know what to say; you would only have a vague recollection, some reminiscences. Of “that” nothing is known, only translations. When you speak of “that” those will be translations, it is not that world, because “that” moves in other times and in other spaces: those are translations of the Sacred times and spaces.

If one were to suspend the functioning of the I for an instant and were to connect with the Profound, one could experience a quantity of things happening in that instant without time, without time and without space. And later when telling about it in this time and space, one would have to translate it in such a way because if one does not do it, there is no way of describing it, only translating it according to epochal and personal landscapes. And we can do it according to what we remember, through the reminiscence of what we have experienced. And perhaps one tells so many things that have happened… in a blink of an eye…

The external religions are made with translations of these reminiscences, of these contacts with the Profound. Without doubt they have had those contacts, imagine a Mohammed or a Buddha, all the things they later translated in order to tell that experience.

From the Profound, different accounts can be made, gods and things, but what exist are profound significances that can give meaning to everything. We are interested in the experience itself; in procedures to get there, “where the gods dwell.” The meanings of things in daily life are like meanings fallen from those more profound significances.

Q.: In the Internal Landscape it is said: “… similar profound models do exist, sleeping unchanged within the human specie, awaiting their opportune moment...”

R: They are very far away… some in their crystal boxes… so deep in the Profound that it is difficult to connect.

Q: But, is it possible?
R: (Pause…) Yes, it is possible.

The internal space is immeasurable; it corresponds to the Profound from the eye towards the inside.
We have the dizziness (or giddiness) of the Profound.

The Sacred is our theme, but it is not possible to speak of the Sacred, religions have become specialists in translating the Sacred into daily languages.

We are interested above all in the procedures to arrive to that; procedures for arriving to the dwelling of the gods.

If you do these procedures, you are going to enter into that world.

The I.R. material is becoming stronger. But now, in this moment where do people have their heads? They have an important noise in their head. We will see what happens in the human head in the future.


Body, Double and the Spirit.

There are different kinds of energy (electric, electromagnetic, etc.) we are referring to the psycho-physical energy. This energy reflects itself in the body and in the images of the subject. We can verify the functioning of this energy.

Let’s take an instance of the energetic functioning: the functioning of images. Occasionally you have a lot of potency (brightness and maintaining the images). But when you get tired, images lose their brightness and in time the maintaining dissolves.

The psycho-physical energy that is reflected in the functioning of the body and in the psychism of a person, that energy can be externalized.

It is something that can be registered: it is not just any type of energy.

The spirit is the manner in which that energy gets structured.
The spirit is an organized energy that will have to take a direction with such a cohesion that even when lacking this physical saddle, could continue ascending in a kind of world very much different than the one already known; in an individual cycle (it is not toward “the whole” as some say.) That individual cycle is interesting.

Question: Are there indicators of the birth of the spirit?
This has very clear indicators, one knows very well when this takes place. Nothing is the same from that moment on; life has taken a meaning; there is a reality that one knows that exists and life is no longer the same, even if one continues with one’s I, doing things in daily life.

If one has a transcendental experience, it acts daily from the co-presence; it gives meaning to many things. It remains in co-presence; it occurs because one has had the experience. The “I” would function differently if I have that experience in co-presence. That experience makes a mark in you.

The Sacred are profound meanings that get translated. For instance, Plato and before him Pythagoras, spoke of a place where the Good exists. And that significance, the Good, was translated, it was expressed in the world in good people. And the bad people were such, because they were further away from that Good. In this nice way they translated these things some 700 years before Christ.

In that profound world are the entities, beings, etc., which are meanings of the Profound getting translated. Therefore, they are translations, deformations of the representation.

The profound models or the most profound guides are distinct expression or translations. They are meanings that get translated.

Myths are also translations.

In regard to the irruption of the phenomenon of the Force in daily life, it is produced with the Well-being Ceremony, to certain extent also with the Laying on of hands and sometimes with the Service.

Practice of Internal Religiosity

It relates to the procedures. We are interested in the procedures in order to arrive to the Sacred.

These procedures consider distinct rhythms: always, occasionally, weekly, and monthly.

If one lives according to one’s declaration in the ceremony of Recognition…
It refers to a style of life in agreement to what was declared.

If occasionally one appeals to the inspiration of the Internal Guide…
In certain occasions, mainly in difficult or complicated situations.

If on a weekly basis one participates in the ceremonies and meditations on the Book, the Path and complementary materials…

If on a monthly basis one reflects about the internal growth achieved in relation to life’s difficulties…
It is important a monthly meeting of evaluation. A meeting where one reflects about the growth in relation to the necessities of life; a verification with the realities of life. It shows where you are in your process; how things are focused; how difficulties that before seemed insurmountable, are being overcome. We appeal to a monthly procedure of revision in relation to the difficulties of life.
