Degrees in Death of the Egos that are Dead – (1490)

Introduction

There are degrees and degrees of everything. Even in the death of the ego once it is dead.

When Dead There Are Even Degrees

When an ego is dead, true it is dead, but how dead is the question. If an ego is dead but has not been dead for very long it can resuscitate, all that is needed is to identify with certain impressions etc. Just as Master Samael said once, while he was giving a talk in Mexico and was remembering one of his past lives in Rome where he was relating how he fell and suddenly stopped and said: “I am not going to go further because I can create lust.”.

In such cases when the ego has not been dead for very long the ego can symbolically seen to be dead in a coffin. The body of the ego is intact but dead. When an ego has been dead for a very long time, the body of the ego is seen as being in a state of decomposition.

There is a difference in death between a recently dead corpse and a corpse that has been dead for a year or more. One is still intact but the other is just a mess of rotten flesh and bones.

Sexual Energy

The sexual energy creates the solar bodies and it also creates the bodies of the egos or metaphysical forms so that the essence can become trapped within.

Conclusion

I had no idea about this (and still don’t from practical experience) but it makes a lot of sense. There are degrees and degrees of nearly everything.
