Term of the Day

Attachment

An inclination of the human being based on the fear of loss. It is sustained by the false belief in owning or possessing things and/or people. Both beliefs are born of the ego. In reality, we own nothing and no one.

All terms

The 232 terms in the glossary, from A to Z.

A

Absolute: The point of eternity, the zero point, where there is no before or after, no beginning or end, and no limitations of any kind. It is located in the 40th dimension and contains all the information in the Universe. It is God. It is also called the “Absolute Essence of Being,” the “Eternal Unmanifest,” or the “Unmanifest Absolute.”
Abundance: The natural state of the Universe, characterized by the capacity it grants to offer those who possess it everything necessary for the perfect growth of their souls. The capacity to have everything necessary to be happy, and to be happy with what one has. Growth that occurs both individually and collectively.
Acceptance: A deep understanding of the importance of not resisting the events that unfold in the external manifestation. This understanding includes the knowledge that everything that happens is perfect and has a purpose of love. When you accept, you are contributing to your own spiritual development. Accepting is different from agreeing, and also from resigning yourself.
Acceptology: A “science” that studies acceptance as the foundation for the inner liberation of the human being. Acceptance unfolds within the order of the Universe, governed by its Laws. Acceptology is the “science” that enables inner liberation from suffering by following the order of the Universe.
Act: Doing the best we can in every situation, renouncing aggression in thought, word, and deed.
Adapt: Understanding that the place and circumstances we find ourselves in are perfect for our learning. This understanding allows us to enjoy them and let go of the struggle.
Affection: Energy that is generated within us and that we radiate in situations that embody harmony. Where there is no harmony, there is no affection.
Aggression: A mental limitation resulting from ignorance.
Agreement: A commitment that we are willing to honor voluntarily.
Alchemy (of Thought): The “science” of inner transformation, or a technique for learning to think. It leads us from ignorance to wisdom through voluntary, sustained thought, directed with information of love.
Analysis: A characteristic of one of the functions performed by the left hemisphere of the brain. The detailed examination of the various stimuli carried out by our mental body.
Androgynous: An essential characteristic of our inner nature, consisting of the union of the traits of both sexes in one person, where everything that is not physical is a perfect androgyne. This is the case with our mind and consciousness, which can voluntarily adopt both feminine (receptive) and masculine (transmitting) characteristics.
Angels: Innocent, non-physical beings who work on our thoughts and inspire them in us.
Appreciate: To appreciate the result obtained from an activity; to enjoy intensely everything you have and everything you do; to express only the virtues of others.
Attachment: An inclination of the human being based on the fear of loss. It is sustained by the false belief in owning or possessing things and/or people. Both beliefs are born of the ego. In reality, we own nothing and no one.
Authoritarianism: It involves imposing one's own customs and ideas on others; therefore, when someone is authoritarian, the other person is not allowed to take charge of or value their own life. It leads to self-neglect, dependence on others, low self-esteem…
Authority: Moral strength grounded in truth; it should not be confused with authoritarianism. A person's authority is shown by example, because they know how to achieve results.

B

Bad guy (the): A person who doesn't care about others and doesn't suffer. We call the mistakes of ignorance evil, so an evil person is an ignorant person without feelings.
Beasts: Human beings who behave in an instinctive, irrational, and aggressive way.

Charisma: A gift that enables a person to do what is appealing to others in some way.
Charity: A deep understanding of another person’s suffering and the ability to provide the information needed for that suffering to disappear. Charity gives the other person the information that allows them to transcend their difficulty. Information, unlike help, should always be given when the moment is right.
Coach: A person through whom we are given the opportunity to learn to love, to be flexible, to adapt, to respect… usually through situations we interpret as difficulties.
Commitment: The ability to share one's own inner values, without any restrictions or conditions. It involves no obligation whatsoever, because it is a behavior one decides on for oneself.
Compassion: The understanding that the experiences we go through are neither good nor bad, but rather opportunities for learning. Therefore, if we have compassion, we do not feel pity, anguish, or suffering; rather, it is about understanding the cause of another’s suffering.

Desire: A longing to satisfy a craving; the term is used for everything related to a need posed by the body, to distinguish it from something we “want,” which is related to the mental field.
Destiny: An instructional design aimed at learning what one does not know. A need, specific to each person, to face certain difficulties/opportunities in order to grow spiritually. Once understood, destiny becomes a mission.
Difficulty: An opportunity for spiritual learning; an obstacle to overcome; it resides within people and is caused by a lack of information or training. (See “Learning opportunity” and “Problem”).
Dimensions: Magnitudes that serve to contain a certain vibrational frequency and, therefore, a different amount of information. They can be divided into physical (3), mental (6), spiritual (30), and the Absolute (1). That makes 40 levels, although we must remember that the division is merely a guide.
Disciple: Someone who has already received information revealed by the Masters and begins to verify it through results. The disciple accepts (that is, obeys the Laws of the Universe) and takes charge of their life.

Emotions: Automatic, essentially instinctive psychophysiological reactions resulting from the presence or absence of people or things; they can involve attraction or rejection, and can be pleasant or unpleasant.
Enemy: The label that culture gives to anyone who radically opposes you. In reality, enemies do not exist; there are only different people who should be respected and loved.
Error: A cultural concept referring to a mistaken judgment, something that doesn't work. It is part of our learning process for discovering the Law, so it is always an opportunity to learn.
Evaluating: Learning to recognize the value of every result.
Evil: Absence of good. In our culture, an abstract idea of whatever departs from what is good or just. It is a false concept, since it is nothing but a mental limitation born of ignorance.

F

Fear: A mental limitation that involves losing inner peace at the possibility that an evil not yet present in our lives may arrive.
Feeling: A mood or emotion. A tool that allows us to know ourselves, because it is our own personal interpretation of an event; its main characteristic is duality—it shifts quickly from positive to negative—and we usually suffer because of it.
Feminine: Everything that can perceive, receive, or contain, from a philosophical standpoint.
File, Field, Body, Plane: Terms used interchangeably to refer to the physical, mental, and spiritual archives. The reason for using different words is to practice mental flexibility and to give everyone the option of choosing the one they prefer.
Final judgment: A process of self-assessing one's own state of spiritual development.
Firmness: A virtue of love. It is not aggressive, but it does not allow others to violate the Law. It does not take on the consequences of another person’s decision, so as not to harm them.

Imagination: The mental capacity to create; a mental exercise aimed at managing vital energy.
Incompatibles: People who cannot come to an agreement.

Invocation: An exercise that allows us to receive information—through our normal senses of perception—from higher Guides or Masters. In a meditative state, between wakefulness and sleep, this exercise consists of mentally invoking the presence of these Masters of wisdom.
Isolation: A state that helps us be at peace and recover energy, but not to “have” peace, since as soon as we leave isolation, we can easily lose that peace, because it does not exist permanently within us.

Synonymous with “just” or “wise.” They transmit wisdom, mainly through the example of their own life.
Matter: The main component of bodies, capable of taking on all kinds of forms and undergoing change, characterized by a set of physical and chemical properties perceptible through the senses. The material or physical part of reality, as opposed to spirit. An eternal emanation of particles that can be organized and disorganized. It is made up of three elementary particles: the proton, the electron, and the neutron. It is a point where energy becomes denser.

Power: The ability to achieve satisfactory results.
Pride: A trait that prevents a person from changing; it creates the need for others to adapt to their demands. The opposite of humility; it involves a fear of losing power.

Punishment: Revenge by the ego for what it believes was done to it. It is not at all educational and always generates lies, evasion, and violence.

R

Rancor: A negative feeling that originates in a past situation we have not understood, which enslaves the mind with a desire for revenge that drains our vital energy. Rancor makes us blame other people for what has happened to us.
Reaction: An element of instinct; it is emotional and blocks and damages relationships.

Respectful: A person capable of accepting everyone as they are, without trying to change them, without criticizing or judging others, and without interfering with their destinies; this is someone who understands that others have the right to their own way of thinking or acting, even if it differs from their own. A respectful person is able to live alongside others in harmony and peace.
Rich: A person who has everything needed to be happy, regardless of how much money they have. (Remember that, in this context, this term has nothing to do with the amount of money a person has.)

S

Saturation: A point of no return at which the mind can no longer bear any more suffering; it makes it possible to break through the belief system, begin a conscious process of spiritual development, and make way for inner peace.

Self-Worth: Valuing yourself, which makes it possible to find the inner resources needed to serve and value others. When you deserve and have the best, you have a great deal to offer in serving others.

Sensitive: A person who cares about others but can't help them because they are suffering. In this context, being sensitive isn't the best option.
Serious: Something very harmful or damaging, according to our culture. In reality, there are no serious situations, only events that are necessary for each person’s spiritual growth.

Sexuality: A great tool for integration and satisfaction in a couple when love acts upon sexuality; it fosters the upkeep and balance of life.
Shyness: A mental limitation that causes, among other things, fear of taking action and of serving.
Sin: A mistake; it does not provoke guilt, but learning. In our culture we speak of “original sin” because the personality is born innocent, and the innocent make mistakes; later, innocence turns into ignorance through the information it receives from culture, and then into wisdom when it verifies and understands.
Sincerity: A way of expressing yourself without lies or pretense, but also without wisdom (in this context); in this sense, it is a mental limitation. It consists of clearly, openly, and directly telling the other person what you feel and think about them, from your own ignorance and ego.
Skin: A highly specialized organ that absorbs energy and internally picks up stimuli.
Slavery: Mental attitude. If we accept what we go through as part of our learning, we stop being slaves, because we become independent of what others say or do, free to make our own decisions and take on their results, and also free to respect others.
Spirit: An intelligent, immaterial being, therefore not physical, that enters and leaves matter.
Spiritual development: A process of evolution in understanding, love, and wisdom. It takes place in the mental field, turning life into an extraordinary experience in every sense and helping us learn to be happy, to have peace, and to fill ourselves with love.
Spiritual gym: The set of everyday-life experiences that confront us with situations we cannot handle and teach us to develop inner peace so that we become invulnerable.
Spiritual independence: The ability to be happy, to have invulnerable peace, and to love on our own, without depending on anything or anyone around us.
Spirituality: The “science” of the human spirit (soul) and the ability to handle situations without losing peace, happiness, or an attitude of service. Living it brings an increase in understanding that opens you to a higher state of consciousness. It means anchoring yourself in the whole rather than in individuality. Spirituality is a profound mental understanding.
Stress: A psychological state of fear and inner insecurity. Once a person makes a decision, the inner conflict disappears and their mind rests. Stress does not change the external situation, but it does reduce the possibility of finding a solution.
Stubbornness: It means insisting on something more than seven times. Sometimes, when we're stubborn, we get what we want, not what we need. Stubbornness leads us to face more difficult learning situations.
Success: The result of inner work and a commitment to what one does. It is experienced by the person who is able to be happy with what they have and to make the most of what life gives them. It means being able to meet one’s own needs.
Suffering: A feeling (in the mind) in response to something it cannot accept. Physical pain can exist without mental suffering—in which case vital energy does not drop—and suffering can exist without pain, in which case vital energy does drop. Suffering is based on not accepting something that has already happened in our lives.

T

Teacher: One who imparts knowledge—not wisdom, which is what the Master imparts.
Teaching: A learning interaction that involves allowing a valuable experience. To provide teaching, you need to give sufficient, efficient, and timely information.

Temperament: Part of the personality; genetic and instinctive, although it can be modified—like character—by choice, through deep mental work based on understanding, using deliberate, directed, and sustained thought.
Temporary Consciousness: The spiritual part of the mental field. It is made up of the active, awakened understanding of a human being, with understanding meaning what is verified as truth. It is bound to the body.
Thoughts: Waves of variable frequency. At their lowest level, they are merely sensory perceptions; at the middle level, they are relationships, judgments, comparisons, etc.; and at their highest level, they are intuitions—that is, they grasp what is real without interference from the personality or the ego. Thoughts can generate peace or unease; mastery consists in generating truthful thoughts of peace, voluntarily and consistently. (See “Alchemy”).
To Assume: Understand that only you create the circumstances that arise in your life, without blaming anyone for them. By taking responsibility for the outcome of our decisions, we transform our destiny into a mission.
To Criticize: To see and express what is not there, unlike evaluating, which consists of seeing what is there.
To govern: To lead with authority, dictating rules and imposing them by force.
To Help: Doing something for another person that they cannot do for themselves but that it is up to them to do.
To interfere: Doing something for someone who is actually capable of doing it for themselves, or doing it when it is not one's place to do so or when help has not been requested.
To Love: Being happy in another's happiness, seeking the best for yourself and for others; expressing peace and harmony with total freedom. To love universally is to understand, value, accept, respect, be grateful…
Touchy: A person who is easily offended.
Transmute: To transform your own destiny—what is difficult—into a mission—something easy. This requires information rooted in wisdom, managing your own energy, and training. To transmute the mind is to cleanse it of false beliefs.
Trauma: False information that becomes imprinted on the unconscious; an unconscious protective imprint generated by the survival instinct.
Trust: An inner value that gives access to abundance and prosperity. It entails zero aggression and zero touchiness.
Truth: It is (in this context) everything that functions in a harmonious and perfect way and that has been verified, through your own experience, in a result of peace, satisfaction, and appreciation.

Unconditionality: The ability to always be ready to serve with joy and enthusiasm, in any circumstance and toward any person.
Unconscious limitations: Unconscious associations between an external event and an involuntary internal reaction. Fears and phobias are examples of this.
Understanding: The ability to recognize the existence of the Law and to obey it. It represents the evolution of the human being, freeing them from suffering and conflict. It sets the mind to work to seek answers, using verification tools. If one wishes to reach acceptance, it is first necessary to deeply understand the Laws that govern the Universe and the principles that regulate relationships, as well as to know that everything that happens in the Universe is perfect and necessary and has a purpose of love, directed specifically toward the experience that each person needs to live. Understanding is identified with wisdom, love, and spiritual development.
Unfeeling: A person who does not care about the suffering of others, is unable to identify with their needs, and does not suffer for them; in reality, their own life is full of suffering.
Universal law: A principle that governs a process of creation, administration, or functioning of the Universe. It is immutable, has been verified, and always produces the same result when applied.
Universality: A deep understanding of love; it means loving all people equally, recognizing that the only difference lies in the kinds of agreements we establish with each one; it produces acceptance, support, and respect in relationships.
Unmanifested Beings: Spiritual beings that we cannot access. The fact that we cannot perceive them with our five physical senses does not mean they do not exist. The Eternal Unmanifested is the Absolute.

V

Value (treasure): Anything that, when used, produces results of gratitude and satisfaction. If the results are negative, it is because one is not using values, but concepts or beliefs.
Vital Energy: Energy that sustains our mental capacity. There are three stages of energy: the mental zone of light—when there is a lot of energy—the twilight zone, and the zone of darkness—when energy drops. Energy increases or decreases according to how each person manages their emotions, feelings, and thoughts.

W

Wailing wall: (fig.) A place where we can vent any negative emotion or feeling to release adrenaline without harming anyone. Keep in mind that it is understood this way in this context, and with all due respect to the real Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.
We need (what): Exactly what we have for our spiritual growth.
We want (what): Exactly what we don’t have; it implies unconscious selfishness and a direct connection to the ego, which is never satisfied with what it has. When we don’t get what we want, and we are aware of it, we learn to recognize the Law. What we “want” has to do with the mental realm (remember that desire is linked to instinct).
Wisdom: The result of learning from mistakes and gaining a deep understanding of love. It contains all the other tools of love—acting, adapting, giving thanks, taking responsibility, respecting, valuing, and accepting—and consists of knowing how to make the most of what life gives so that you are happy and prosperous, live in peace, and express love, seeing every difficulty that comes as an opportunity to learn.
Wise: One who is skilled at living happily, who understands the Law and flows with it.
