The transformative process proposed by Samael Aun Weor, in his profound work of self-knowledge, leads us to reflect on the importance of psychological self-observation as an essential tool for the evolution of consciousness.
According to the master, as we use this sense more deeply, it develops, and when neglected, it tends to atrophy. This constant practice of observing our thoughts, feelings, and actions is the first step toward personal transmutation.
Samael Aun Weor speaks of the "Psychological Moon," a profound metaphor for the hidden aspects of our psyche. He describes the Psychological Moon as having two faces: one visible and one hidden. The visible face, which can be perceived directly through self-observation, reveals the psychic aggregates that we often fail to recognize as our own, but which govern us unconsciously. The hidden face of the Psychological Moon, on the other hand, lies beyond direct perception and manifests only when the psychological sense has been intensely developed, revealing the deepest and most hidden layers of our being.
Psychological self-observation, according to the master, is the key to identifying and eliminating these aggregates, which are fragmented and dysfunctional forms of ego. They may initially be visible, like disturbing thoughts and emotions, but over time, the work of disintegration must expand to those more secret and troubling elements of the psyche, which we still cannot perceive. Thus, the path is not only a confrontation with superficial aspects but a true battle against the invisible and profound forces of our unconscious.
"Do not run away, do not try to escape from real life," warns Samael Aun Weor. Practical life, with its daily challenges, is the field where the work of ego dissolution must take place. It is not just about moments of meditation or philosophical reflection, but about the concrete application of consciousness in the small and large events that make up our existence. When we confront the undesirable elements of the ego directly, the process becomes more real and effective because, as the master says, "if the water doesn't boil at 100 degrees, what needs to be cooked doesn't cook."
The work of ego dissolution is painful. Upon discovering and confronting the deepest aspects of ourselves, we are forced to go through intense emotional and psychological crises. The master shares his own experiences of suffering, revealing that the discovery of deeper egos, such as self-love and resentment, required painful purification. However, it is this process of emotional crisis that allows for transmutation, enabling the Consciousness – or Essence – to be freed from the bonds of psychic aggregates.
When the master speaks of the intervention of Devi Kundalini Shakti, he refers to the creative energy that, when awakened, can pulverize the undesirable elements of the psyche. It is this force, which resides within each of us, that allows us to transmute the imperfections of the ego, giving us the opportunity to achieve true internal freedom. However, for this energy to manifest and act, we must be prepared, willing to face our shadows, pains, and deepest limitations.
Those who seek ego dissolution cannot delude themselves into thinking that evolution is easy or without suffering. True transformation requires the courage to face our darkest and most challenging parts. This means confronting our fears, passions, weaknesses, and, above all, our lack of self-knowledge. Like a warrior in times of war, constant vigilance over our thoughts and actions becomes essential. Only then does the soul begin to crystallize, when Consciousness, finally free, becomes the true guide of the being.
Ultimately, psychological self-observation leads us to a profound process of self-discovery, where the ego, with its many faces and forms, is gradually dissolved. Along this journey, we experience crises, pain, and redemption, but we also reach a state of authenticity and truth. The work is hard, but it is through it that we achieve true internal freedom, liberating ourselves from the invisible chains that limit our spiritual evolution.
