In order to leave the labyrinth of existence; to escape from the eternal ebb and flow of the cosmic becoming and to be free from the law of cause and effect (destiny, karma) which determines our responsibility towards God and Nature; to break the chain of the innumerable births and deaths, and to find peace, wisdom and beatitude, we must know and follow a very precise itinerary.

The itinerary of the soul towards God is that mapped out by the Gospel in its double teaching, for the mass (exoteric) and reserved (esoteric), and is, therefore, the same for every Christian. This itinerary is the same for all because the soul of everyone is by this time Christian, from when the Avatar (Messiah) Jesus the Christ came and inserted himself in the planet earth and in the human species.

 

To speak of a different spiritual itinerary for Jews or Muslims, Buddhists or Protestants, or whoever of other races or religious faiths, has no sense for we Archeosophers. The sun has risen for all, and all are illuminated. The benefits of the solar irradiation depend on the good will and the intelligence employed by whoever accepts this healthy influx.

Everybody is called to the Unity, to the union in an identical Love, through the single path of the total love:"You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself” (Luke, 10:27).

 

Since every soul (we mean the Ego ) has an identical itinerary, it will not reach its goal nor its happiness except through Christ and in Christ, who has said to all: “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John, 14:6).

 

Men and women are made for love. It is their raison d’être, the reason for their unrest, it is the mainspring of all their activity. Human beings are made for the infinite love, they are created for God, and will not find either the solution to their troubles, or their beatitude,
their peace, their illumination except in the blessed divine possession: “ You have made us for You, Lord, and our soul is restless until it rests in You” (St. Augustine- Confessions,1.1).

 

Our sole reason for living, the condition for happiness is to look for God, completing our ascetic and social work here where He has placed us. Life is absurd for all those who ignore this reason for living, this goal. It is even more so for all those Christians who, although knowing the goal, live worrying about other things and look for happiness where it cannot be found; still worse is it for those who, having abandoned the mistaken road for the spiritualistic and religious life, return to that road, to die in the desert of their loveless life.

 

It is for all these that Jesus wishes to present the initiatic Itinerary, the Itinerary of happiness, the Itinerary of Unity, the Itinerary of Love: “So that all are One!” (John. 17:21). He has shown it by undergoing the sacrifice on the wood of the cross, He has pointed it out in the Gospel, that Gospel which we diffuse with our booklets, with all our love, not always welcomed by those whom, describing themselves as scholars of esotericism, should embrace us in the name of the universal brotherhood.

 

The ultimate aim of Archeosophical teaching is by now known by those who have read and reflected on the doctrinal and practical contents of all the booklets already published. For those who have examined and accepted our program, the title of this new booklet is in itself meaningful. It aims at one’s own spiritual development and growth, to give to others the best fruits of the experience; it focuses on the use of some solutions, to stop one from remaining lost in the labyrinth of existence, anchored to the sexual force which exercises a power of attraction on the soul, blocking the drive towards superhuman perfection and happiness in God.

 

In the following chapters you will find the exercises which are indispensable for whoever wishes boost their spiritual development, and as sexuality is the fulcrum, or purchase, to move the lever of the total deification, of this we will speak in an opportune and explicit way, so that there is no awkwardness or unbalance which could disturb the balance of domestic and social life of anybody.

 

The ascesis is open to all: married or single, men and women. For them, the sexual problem is fundamental and must be faced with intelligence. Ascesis calls for temperance, so that the sexual force is used towards positive finalities of a spiritual order.
