Course XXX - Teaching 13: Andrologic Philosophy
The human mind is an unlimited power that only can reach its comprehensive and creative fullness by union with the Infinite.
So the correct, unique and true end of the mind is to seek God, the Eternity.
Any other speculative work of the mind is vane, false and harmful. Like a deadly power in the hands of a child, the mind ever shall hurt the person that wants to deviate it behind veils of illusion, because the mind unavoidably has to come back to the Eternal Mind that is its true element.
Then, any philosophy whose purpose is to realize God is not true but absurd.
The only real and true Philosophy is the Cosmodicy, in which Being seeks Non-Being and, in Being and Non-Being, the Eternal One.
Throughout cycles of human evolution, more than one person had the gift to understand the immense power of the human mind and some people, men-demons, asked: Why cannot one stop this great current? Why cannot one deviate and use it for oneself?
So, the power of the mind sometimes was used for collective and personal purposes.
Mental currents of man were limited: Man had to think this and turn his thought on this, and nothing more. This was a useful and practical method to produce mental force and turn it on the very man and on the circle established by him.
The power of mind was then used and limited again to impede it a return to its own course and its transformation into a destructive and liberating force.
Theistic philosophies systematically restricted the concept of man to the point of becoming unable to see to God, the Eternity, through his mind.
Theistic Philosophy transformed the Eternity into a tyrannical God constantly menacing man with a whip and saying: Your mind must obey my sayings, otherwise I shall annihilate you.
But this restriction was a good for the human mind, since the latter uncontrollably sought a subterranean way to escape, expand and find itself again.
As man did not understand the Eternity and believed that God was an idol formed by several vibrations, consecutive and similar, transformed into concepts and dogmas, he sought knowledge in himself –not in himself as a part of God or spiritual power, but in himself as human force–. Man sought in himself, in his feelings and emotions, and observed his own instincts; there he found a fulcrum to galvanize his mental forces.
This philosophy was called andrologic, study of man, regardless Eternity, God.
But this is absurd if man in himself, detached from the eternal aspect, has no raison d’être and human mind just collides against the wall of false knowledge by means of numberless illusory concepts.
But a drop of water pierces a stone.
When the external structure is broken, being finds the Spirit in the innermost depths of himself, and from there he comes back to God.
Andrology was founding several schools by analyzing different intimate aspects of man. It passed across physiology, instinctive mind and emotional mind, reviewed the whole psyche of being, and finally reached the Spirit.
It felt the growing need of an ascetic philosophy and, as veils were drawn, found again the mother queen of philosophies, the Great Cosmodicy.
