THE LOTUS CIRCLE 

DRAWING GOOD LUCK

First, let us thank the Supreme Being, the Infinite God, for allowing St. Gabriel to communicate to man on the ways of perfecting himself.  Although God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to serve as example, it seems man did not fully get the message when Jesus proclaimed, "I am the way, the truth and the life."  The imperfect man thought that just by believing and having faith in Jesus Christ, man is automatically saved.  Little did man know that faith is the first step in the infinite ladder of perfection.  When man is "saved," he is allowed to make the first step in the ladder of spiritual perfection.  When God allows the spirit to join the material body to form man, in effect God gives the human being the chance to perfect himself rapidly.

Since perfection is the main objective of man here on Earth, it is therefore necessary for us to dissect the ingredients of man so as to be able to find ways of improving him, ingredient by ingredient.  Remember, man's perfection is to become perfect in Will Power, Intelligence, and Love.  These elements were the ones sought after by Jesus Christ.  And you are enjoined to do the same.  Jesus was able to accomplish this perfection not as God but as man, first to show God the Father that man can still be saved; and second that man could imitate him in order to be saved, to attain those perfection in Will Power, Intelligence, and Love.

Man is unique.  Man is both material and spirit, a machine and a mind, a body and soul.  Therefore, we will examine him first as a machine then later on as a mind.  When both body and mind function at their peak, then the spirit can attain perfection at 100 percent efficiency.

The physical body of man is like a computer.  The mind of man is the programmer.  But you have two programmers in charge of the computer.  When man is awake, the conscious mind is in charge.  When man falls asleep, the subconscious mind is in charge.  So roughly one-third of the time the subconscious is in charge. 

The problem is that the conscious and subconscious programmers have different objectives, different wishes.  The conscious desires for perfection, for things spiritual that will uplift him to heavens above.  The subconscious is materially inclined.  It hungers for things of Earth, like good food, beautiful clothes, beautiful surroundings, material provisions, sex, pleasure, rest and leisure, riches, honor, and power.  And this subconscious wants them right away.  It is therefore the job of man to make his conscious rein in his subconscious mind.  It is the duty of man to make his right spirit (conscious mind) prevail over his left spirit (subconscious mind), that when the left spirit takes over, it follows the guidelines and objectives of the right spirit.

How can it be done?  This is one of objectives of this dictation.  When man achieves this control, he is the "master of his fate, the captain of his soul."

As man's body is physically a highly developed machine, a moving machine and a computer, it needs reconditioning now and then.  How do you maintain the body in tip top condition, so that when the conscious mind of yours gives an order it readily carries out the order to the letter?  Some orders are not carried out because the lazy subconscious resists.  For example:  the conscious mind plans to go to mass on a Sunday.  The subconscious orders the body to enjoy the sleep further.  Again the conscious mind orders the body.  But the body when not in tip top condition feels lazy and therefore follows the order of subconscious to enjoy further sleep.  The body is confused.  Until finally, a compromise is reached, "Later on ... saka na."  The conscious is appeased.  The subconscious is happy.  This is the origin of procrastination, the “manana" habit of Filipinos, which weakens Will Power and hinders man's perfection in the material plane, as well as in the spiritual plane.  Man's job is to perfect himself in both planes, not in material plane alone, not in the spiritual plane alone, but in both.

So that man's perfection will not consist of praying all the time, he can with the use of his Intelligence find a prayer -- a "mantra" -- which will be equivalent to ten or more recitations of the rosary!  God gave him that gift for him not to complain that he had failed to perfect himself because he consumed too much time in praying.

Unlike the European philosophers who acquired knowledge through reasoning, through logic, the Eastern philosophers like the masters of yoga acquired their knowledge through meditation.  When one meditates, he is in a better position to receive "tips" from heaven.  Man in his pride thinks that the knowledge he has acquired, the new knowledge he discovers is his and his alone.  Little does he know that because of the effort he is exerting, of the Will Power he exercises, God rewards him with "tips" so that ideas simply come into his mind.

This is the reason why several mathematicians discovered calculus at about the same time.  Knowledge from heaven is like a fruit that ripens on a certain season and is plucked out when ripe to be given to man if man is ready.  When no Earth being is ready, the fruit just wastes its sweetness and a cycle will pass for it to bear fruit again.  And this cycle has a semblance in nature, but the cycle is not the same as on Earth.

Inspirations are like a ripe fruit to be given man when man is ready.  So are discoveries in science, technology, spiritual science, or supernatural science of the spirit.  The requirement is there must be a recipient, someone who will act as ,the medium for the message.  The message is not for him alone but for all mankind. The knowledge given to Leibniz about calculus ushered in the rapid growth of mathematics.  The knowledge tipped to Einstein epitomized by E=mc2 triggered the birth of the atomic bomb.  Einstein endeavored to have a unified general theory of relativity, unifying gravity and electromagnetic force.  He failed.  He failed because he did not realize that the time for it to be given to man was not yet ripe.

In some future time, a scientist, one who has succeeded in perfecting himself in Intelligence regarding mathematics and physics will receive the message in a way similar to how Archimedes did:  while taking a bath, a spirit tipped him that water is displaced by the volume of the object, and at that moment of inspiration he shouted "Eureka!."  Someday, a physicist will discover and formulate the Unified Theory so passionately sought after by Einstein.  And when it is done, man will be nearer to the scientific knowledge of the spirit.  But in the meantime, man must be contented with the present findings of science to explain the workings of the spirit.

Let us now start at the beginning when man opens his eyes.  What should you do?  You should rise and kneel to pray.  Thank the Lord for the nice peaceful rest.  Pray an "Our Father," and offer it to your Guardian Angel who will guide you for the rest of the day, just as if a radio monitors your activities.  And when you are led astray from your goal of perfection, like committing a sin, it warns you.  His ability to do this monitoring will depend on the energy you impart to him.  This energy is the pranic energy you get from the Supreme Being when you pray the “Lord's Prayer” and direct it to him, your Guardian Angel who is in charge of you and accountable to God the Father.

Then do some limbering up exercises.

Start with your head and neck.  Move the head clockwise and counter-clockwise to remove stiffness of muscles brought about by sleeping.

Then wiggle your hands to stimulate circulation of blood because when you sleep the blood pressure goes down, and the heart's pumping slows down also.

Move you arms sideways to the left and to the right as far as possible.

Then twist your hips as in hula-hoop from left to right, in semi-circle or circles, clockwise and counterclockwise.

Then exercise your legs by jogging in place.  If you feel bowel movement, then do so at this time.  Take a bath, a quick one if you must.

Do some push ups if you feel doing so, but this is not necessary.

Do some bending exercises to improve and put your nervous system in tip top condition.  Then jog in place.

Jogging outside is highly recommended.

By the way, at what time should you wake up?  It should be an hour before sunrise.  Why? So you would be awake in time to do this important exercise.

If you are jogging outside, at exactly sunrise, stop; then face the sun.  Pray: "Lord, please make my day happy, beautiful, and fruitful."  Then inhale the pranic energy sent by God in answer to your prayers. Feel the Love of God flowing into your veins down to your toes.  Then feel all the dirt, sins, and diseases in you and expel them through your nose by exhaling.  Do this inhalation-exhalation cycle at least seven times.  Your conscious mind now is actually commanding the physical body to accept God's graces when you inhale, and when you exhale you are commanding your subconscious to expel whatever ill-thoughts it wove and built the night before while it was in control when you were asleep.

When you do this, breathing in deeply and exhaling everything out, your day will indeed become fruitful.  Whatever obstacles you have you will easily overcome, as you have a day's supply of pranic energy. And what's more you are attuned to the warnings of your Guardian Angel.  It is important that when you breathe out, you breathe out not just air but all ill-thoughts, diseases, and dirt in your body.  Because you have breathed in the pranic energy sent by God through the rays of the sun and carried into your lungs through oxygen, your conscious mind will have Will Power to drain off your physical body and subconscious of all unwanted dirt, disease, and ill-thoughts.

Then, thank God:  "Thank you, Lord, for this gift of pranic energy."

Then go on with your jogging exercise, or jogging in place.  Even when it is raining, you breathe in through a window facing the east.  It would be ideal if your door is facing the rising sun.  For spirits of "good luck" at sunrise to enter the door, open the door before sunrise.  But if it is not possible, at least a window in the living room should face the east to let pranic energy enter the house.  For this reason, it is not advisable to live in a basement as hardly any pranic energy sent by God through sunlight and oxygen enters the basement.

Why do you need this extra blessing of your body and your home?  For the simple reason that although your Guardian Angel and the right spirits are desirous of helping you attain perfection, the left-left spirits (the devils) are determined to frustrate you lest you, imperfect man, free yourself from their sphere of influence.  And they have most hours of the day and the night reserved for them to do that.  That's why you need extra energy for your Will Power to overcome the day’s trials and problems that will improve and make your Will Power more perfect, for the experiences to elevate your Awareness, and for the chances for you to practice Love for your fellowmen for the day.

Then when you can see the sun not so bright but already round, look at it without blinking for around three minutes.  Do this everyday without fail.  If you are lucky that the sun can be seen everyday for at least a month, your seven senses will improve:  sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, spirit sensation, and ESP.

The five senses are common knowledge and need no explanation.  Spirit sensation is the ability to detect the touch of a spirit or spirits.  There will be a tingling in the ears, or the hairs of your arms or back will rise up.  Or you will feel as if there is an invisible weight or blanket placed on your head down to the back.

On the other hand, ESP (extra sensory perception) is the ability to detect premonitions.  Actually, it is the ability to receive "tips" from above as to future events that will happen.  It is connected with being clairvoyant --- opening one's third eye (the eye of the spirit) --- to be able to reach the computer in heaven and have a glimpse of the preprogrammed things to happen.  ESP in short is when the small window in the brain is opened for the "third eye" to see.  And the degree of its being open is the degree of one's power of ESP.  And one's ability to open the window is one's ability to summon one's ESP.

In summary, therefore, man is composed of both body and spirit.  Man's right spirit (the conscious mind) is for perfection while man's left spirit (the subconscious) is for sensual gratification.  Man's conscious mind, therefore, has command of the body when he is awake, to make the body more efficient and subservient to his will rather than to the fancy wishes of his subconscious who wants the easy, pleasurable, Earth-bound ways.  Once the conscious is in full control of the body, it can now proceed to controlling his left spirit --- the subconscious.  When the right spirit succeeds, man will be detached from material things and will be more prone to spiritual perfection.

Upon waking up one hour before sunrise, pray the "Our Father" and dedicate it to your. Guardian Angel so that he would have sufficient supply of pranic energy to assist you the whole day.

Then do exercises that will remove the stiffness of the body and remove blood clots by stimulating the smooth blood flow.  Move your bowels before exercise, if possible.  Take a bath if you must.

At sunrise, pray for a fruitful day.  Breathe in the pranic energy and all the good luck sent by God; breathe in deeply; and breathe out every dirt, disease, ill thought, and sin out of your body.  

When the sun is full, stare at it for three minutes if you want to sharpen or open your senses:  sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, spirit sensation, and ESP.
