SCIENCE AND REASON
been able to view clearly the new road I have traced for
you, your heart will palpitate and in it a spark of
passion will burst into flame, so that light may be
transmuted into life and concept into action.
The moment is critical, yet you must advance.
And then (what an incredible thing for the
psychological construction that the last century has
given you!) a new truth is imparted to you through
means that you do not understand, so that you may
find the new path. The Most High, invisible to you,
has always intervened in the great episodes of history.
What do you know about tomorrow? What do you
know about the reason for which I speak? What could
you imagine about that which time prepares to you,
immersed as you are in the fleeting moment?
Advancing is necessary, and to you more than that
would not be possible. The ways of art, literature,
science, and social life are closed, without tomorrow.
You no longer have any food to nourish your spirit; you
chew repeatedly on old things, already reduced to
refuse, which should be expelled from life. I shall
speak to you about spirit, and I shall reopen the road
toward the infinite, which both reason and science
have blocked.
Therefore, listen to me! The reason you use is
an instrument that you possess to provide your life
with the most external necessities: preservation of the
individual and of the species. This instrument goes
adrift when you launch it on the great sea of
knowledge, for in this field your senses (well suitable
for your immediate needs) just touch on the surface of
things; and even you perceive well their absolute
inability to penetrate to its essence. In fact,
observation and experiment have just given you
external results of a practical character, but the deep
reality escapes you, since the use of your senses as
instruments of investigation, despite the help of your
best means, will always keep you on the surface, and
will close you the path of progress.

from all that which emanates from the sun, the most
they can, and share it among them. Man transforms
this movement into other forms of energy (if nothing is
created and nothing is destroyed, all is ever
transformed), into light, sound and electricity, for his
needs. But the phenomenon is irreversible and in
each transformation there exist loss, consumption,
decay, friction and a wear to be compensated for (for
you find yourselves in phase of evolution = kinetic
decentralization). However, the sun’s supply renews
continuously; it gives what it possesses and, under
new forms, will receive back all that which it has given,
because motion, substance of the universe, is a cycle
that ever returns upon itself, and is closed and
complete in itself.

by transforming it into an instrument of ascent,
conquer pain. Struggle valiantly; learn how to suffer
and defeat, and every passing minute will draw you

you touch with your senses can give you but the last
reflects of that conflagration that pervades the infinite.
Accumulating facts is not an answer; the vital
principle that causes a tree to grow can never be found
by observing and enumerating its leaves, for it is
something deeper, immensely superior and essentially
different from any sensorial appearance. Thus, in
botany and zoology, you dissect cadavers; but what
can they tell you of the forms of life, once you have
killed and expelled their molding and ruling
substantial principle, which sums up and determines
all, the only one that can express the meaning of the
phenomenon?
If in science there is on one hand an a priori
impotency to conclude (as facts have demonstrated),
on the other interests and ambition—too often the
ulterior motives of every work—close the soul the ways
to comprehension, raising a barrier between the self
and the phenomenon. The observer’s psychological
attitude thus becomes a negative destructive force.
How can you hope the doors of mystery to be opened if
you entrench yourself in a position of mistrust, if you
take denial for a starting-point, if you so poison the
first original vibration, according to which all forms of
your thoughts set direction? You should understand
that doubt and agnosticism constitute a
psychologically negative attitude, a phenomenon’s
disaggregating factor, and this is precisely the attitude
that closes you the ways to comprehension. The
highest and subtlest phenomena thus vanish
automatically as you approach them, so precluding
science from entering these higher fields. An
indispensable factor that should be borne in mind,
purposely ignored by science, is the spiritual and
moral factor. These are fundamental conditions of
attunement and power of your psyche, which is your
instrument of inquiry.
The future of science lies in the subtler world of
the imponderable. If such a state of mind, which

Do not let this surprise you, for you know only a small
part of yourselves. Do not organic functions take place
out of your consciousness, entrusted as they are to the
lower units of consciousness placed outside of it? The
economy that the law of minimum means imposes
limits human consciousness to the ambit wherein it
accomplishes its useful work of construction. That
which has been lived and definitively assimilated is
abandoned to the substrata of the conscious in that
which might be called the subconscious. For this, the
assimilation process, basis for consciousness
development, is accomplished through transmission to
the subconscious, wherein all that which has been
lived and forgotten remains ready to surface as soon as
an impulse stirs it up or a fact demands it.
The subconscious is precisely the zone of instinct,
of innate ideas, of acquired qualities; it is the past that
has been overcome, inferior, but acquired (misoneism).
Therein deposited are all the substantial products of
life; in this zone you will find all that you have been
and all the work that you have accomplished; you will
find the way you have followed for the construction of
yourselves, just as in the geological stratifications you
find the life the planet has lived. Transmission to the
subconscious occurs precisely through constant
repetitions. Then you say that habit transforms a
conscious act into an unconscious one, from which a
second nature is formed. This is the method of
education. These simple words exactly express the
substance of the phenomenon. So with education,
study and habit you can construct yourselves. As
soon as an act becomes assimilated, nature’s economy
leaves it outside of consciousness, because, to subsist
and to be driven, an assimilated act dispenses with
consciousness. As soon as a quality is learned, it is

THE WISDOM OF PSYCHISM
If you look about you, you will see that the forms of life
reveal profound wisdom. Even in the first
individualities of matter, the material being is child of
a crystalline germ, of an impulse emanating from the
infinite, characterizing itself in its typical form of
crystal, such as a living being is in its anatomical
form; and, when mutilated, it equally knows how to
repair its mutilation. But, in every field, a
phenomenon is an assertion, a resistance to
disturbance, a will of being in its form, a distinction
from the environment that enables it to say: “I.” At the
higher levels of life, in addition to the chemical
knowledge of the cellular metabolism, there are the
technical wisdom for organ construction and the
knowledge on how to direct their functions for the
internal and external needs of life. Such complex
edifice is a transformism reaching out to the
luminosity of the psychism.
There is a need for beauty in the forms of life;
the common organic material that the beings take
from one another, when they devour one another,
tends to mold itself into a form that expresses this
intimate esthetic aspiration. The cell itself is already a
tiny living being that contains all the potentialities of
life and the qualities of an organism, since it moves,
breathes, nourishes itself (assimilates and
unassimilates), grows, discerns, reproduces, is born
and dies, feels the environment and reacts to it. From
its first unit, life changes continually, and aspires to
expressing itself in higher and more complex forms. In
this ascent, there is always a great need for rising and
self-revealing; and at the same time there is a need for
prudence that fears the danger of attempts directed
toward equilibriums more advanced and too distant
from the secure stability of those equilibriums already
experienced. So life oscillates between the old, well-
