The serene judgement of the men that we usually take as ignorant, could reach to
surprise us. Without the crust of infinite decadent mores crystallized in all the sites of the
mind, these simple people experienced transcendental states of consciousness, without making
much fuss and, what is good, without realizing «parapsychological classifications».

To the effects of compare both behaviours, let’s suppose that they have been placed (the
citizen and the rural man) to choose between God and the Devil, being the second the imitation
of the first. With all probability, the rationalist inclination of the citizens would incapacitate
him to discern between the Divine essence and the appearance. Perhaps this distinction neither
could be realized by the mind of the peasant; but, for this same simplicity or purity, he could
«presage» the presence of God, have the «certainty» to distinguish between the truth and the
lie.

It could seem very difficult that to someone could be propounded similar disjunctive,
but for me that was the issue considering the necessity to receive «external help». Because
this help would be, above all things, «spiritual help», and that assistance could only proceed
from «beyond», from a transcendental World to the matter and men. And here is where I had
stopped perplexed in the past: that «other World», what God reigns it? Which is the real
Religion of the Spirit? Who are their representatives in the Earth? Where is the door towards
God, to the World of God, towards the Homeland of the Spirit?

For many years I searched the truth to these questions, but as never before now I was
before a limit situation in which the necessity to discern became incompatible with the
ordinary life. Because, I was sure, that I could not advance more in my life without finding an
answer; I had 36 years, but at least since 15 years that I was «searching» for answers. In such
quest I had transited through a sinuous path that didn’t disdain the intellectual peaks of the
Philosophy and the Science, neither the irrational abysses of the Religions and Sects.

I remembered that at the beginning I had been proud to have an «Occidental formation.
Prepared in crude ambient of rationalist scientism, in some opportunities I reached to trust
blindly that the methodologies of the empiric investigation were the only path to obtain certain
knowledge of the Universe. But the years passed by, anxieties appeared that could not be
reduced by any «methodology» and then I considered the possibility to explore other ways of
Knowledge.

I travelled in such quest a thousand philosophic and religious tendencies; I read
hundreds of books and practiced many rites of different Cults. But always occurred the same;
while the theories and dogmas, expressed in all the imaginable forms – were at least worthy of
respect, but it could not be said the same about the organizations that sustained such ideas.
Unless that someone could be blinded by a fanatic faith, recently discovered «behind» the
