Feelings & the thinking mind.

Samael Aun Weor wrote:In practice we have been able to prove that people who are very intellectual, full of

bookish culture (the library book worms), do not manage to go out at will in the astral body.

On the other hand, people who are very simple, humble peasants, poor servants of families can do so perfectly.

This has made us think a great deal about the matter and we have carefully investigated the problem.

The fact is that travel in the astral body is not something intellectual.

Rather, astral travel is more aligned to the feeling, and to the superior emotion.

These qualities are related to the heart and not to the brain.

The intellectual polarises him or herself exaggeratedly in the brain and abandons, in fact, the world of the heart.

The result of his/her lack of equilibrium is the loss of the psychic powers of the Soul.

Unfortunately, a faculty cannot be acquired without the loss of another.

Whoever wants to develop the intellect does so at the expense of the psychic faculties.

This problem is serious because we can in no way approve ignorance and illiteracy.

It is logical that an intellectual culture is necessary.

Ignorance leads to very serious errors.

Now the interesting thing is to know how to reconquer the lost psychic faculties.

A man/woman with a brilliant, illuminated intellect and with all his/her psychic faculties in full activity really is in fact and right fully, a true illuminate.
