There issomething which becomes visibly or invisibly embeddedinto the existence of a human being: those deeds, thoughts,ideas and words that have characterized an individual’s life.A human being’s inheritance may also be constituted bythe transmigration of the thoughts and words that haveobeyed the Verb and gave it life by teaching or performinggood deeds to his fellow men. In those who choose tofollow such a path, the memory of those thoughts andwords brings the strength of inheritance to their lives,which acquire clear humanistic manifestations. Thefollowers of the thoughts of Christ and other famous wisemen and philosophers confirm this. Many of them havecertainly shared the glory of the ones who inspired them,whose names they pluralized as they were referred to as thePasteurs, the Newtons, the Ehrliches, and so forth; anhonorable mention which implies recognition of theauthority of the heirs to those beneficial thoughts whichrendered such an important service to humanity.The outstanding human beings who have stood outin the three classic periods of history have always beenrecognized as great for their thoughts and ideas when,after a continuous and titanic struggle, they succeededin attracting people’s attention and getting them torecognize the good contained in these thoughts and14v

Self-Inheritanceideas. So many minds have been illuminated by theirlight, and many have been fecundated with the seeds ofthe extraordinary conceptions generated by suchintelligences that placed within each seed the power oftheir creative influence.In this instance, we are making reference to theinheritance gained from other people’s thoughts. Themore elevated and more constructive these thoughts are,the more respectable they will become. Throughout thecourse of time we have seen how the thoughts of someenable the thoughts of others to germinate, bequeathingcognitions which have favored the process of civilizationand the progress of nations. Ultimately, society itself is thedirect beneficiary and legitimate heir to such a preciousmental legacy. Their names and their ideas were notburied with their mortal remains. Quite the opposite, for,like carrier pigeons, their thoughts and ideas soaredand, in fertile and glorious flights, crossed the seas andcontinents spreading the benefits of their presencethroughout the world.They did so as precursory agents ofgreat truths and powerful aids to human understanding.Thus, we have seen reflected in the skies of all nations thenames and discoveries of those noble heralds of theuniversal inheritance. We have seen them illuminate witha splendorous trail of light the minds and hearts of manygenerations. Certainly nothing has contributed with15v

Carlos Bernardo González Pecotche(raumsol)greater efficacy to the configuration of human culturethan the thoughts of those who knew how to create them.The beauty and greatness of the Law of Inheritanceis that each individual can apply its principles and, in sodoing, verify its reality. Let us begin by illustrating howits inexorability becomes manifest even in the mosttrivial events of daily life. If a person unexpectedlyinsults another, it is quite likely that the latter will reactand, should his temperament be prone to violence, itwouldn’t be too much to fathom that physical aggressionmight ensue. As a consequence, the offender will inheritbruises along with his discredit.Without question, if ourconduct is censurable we will inherit the contempt ofothers; if we infringe penal codes, we will inherit therigor of their sanctions – detention, a trial and finally,prison; if we allow ourselves to be lead about by thefrivolity of life, then in our later years we will inheritthe emptiness of boredom, dissatisfaction, skepticismand disorientation. On the other hand, should weconcern ourselves with forging our own inheritancethen positive results will be attained from that momenton. What this means, no less, is that a human being canbecome his/her own inheritor in the course of his/herlife. The sooner one recognizes such a prospect, thefaster he/she will be willing to continue experiencingthe great benefits that such a fact will bring.16v

Self-InheritanceThe degree received by a physician, a lawyer or anengineer at the end of his studies may be understoodas the inheritance from what he/she studied, his effortsand hard work; in other words, a short-term inheritance,the projection of which, however, may express itself as aneffective contribution to his/her own hereditary line.Thesame applies to those who strive to achieve a comfortableeconomic situation, a respectable social standing, or thesuccessful completion of a personal project, related tohuman inquietudes. Such an inheritance, it should beemphasized, is limited: it fades away with death and thus,lacks transcendence. It fades away by virtue of itsdiscontinuous nature, and the same cause may even leadit to disappear, since such achievements do not havethe same evolutionary consistency as found in thoseconcerning the integral improvement of the individual.Clearly this is not the inheritance that we are referring to.Endeavoring to know a truth entails a gradual andcontinuous approximation with humility, earnestness andtact.When saying that humans inherit from themselves, weare making reference to a law that harbors a great truth, asall universal laws do. It will be necessary to know themechanism of that law down to its smallest detail in orderto appreciate its extraordinary importance, however.Whoever might entertain the notion that this process maybe left to chance, or can be carried out with fleeting bursts17v

Carlos Bernardo González Pecotche(raumsol)of enthusiasm is mistaken and will be disappointed in theend. Let us agree then, that in order to understand suchmechanism,the assistance of one’s conscience is of paramountimportance. This requires endowing one’s conscience withthe kind of knowledge capable of penetrating the mysteryof that law in order for its reality to become apparent.Since the conscience envisages the supe rior inheritanceof the human being, we must admit that the spirit – asdefined by the logosophical conception(*) – is the one who,absorbing from the conscience the values achieved by man,extends them throughout time in each one of the stages ofhuman existence, for it is the spirit that is the depositary ofone’s personal inheritance. Thus, inheritance is understoodas spiritual par excellence – that is, not as material, nor asthe product of intellectual speculation, which is repel led bythe law itself, as it does not represent an accurate expressionof human beings’ yearning for knowledge.A fundamental problem remains unsolved to this day:the post-mortem or extra physical continuity of humanbeings. All kinds of hypotheses have been posed regardingthat which is mistakenly called “reincarnation”, includingthe rather naïve proposition that reincarnation is a naturaloccurrence accompanied by supposed proofs that havepushed such assertions to outlandish limits. The opposite*(1)“The Mechanism of Conscious Life”, by the author, Chapter X.18v

Self-Inheritancebelief is held as well, namely, that there is no continuityof life after death, which has turned many a humanskeptical and rendered their lives disoriented. To nominor extent, this accounts for the moral and spiritualabandonment besieging human beings. If everythingends when one dies, why should one concern oneselfwith striving to be a better person? This is the fatal axiomthat paralyzes humanity’s most noble efforts.It seems warranted to affirm that God could not havecreated beings so remarkably conceived only to havethem disappear due to a term that is inexorably set for alifetime. We have already expounded on the continuityfound through progeny, a continuity that occurs outsideof one’s will, extending to offspring perfections orimperfections or physical, moral or psychological defects.If human beings are bestowed singularities that characterizethem and a physiognomy of their own that makes eachone unique, it is because such distinctiveness shalldifferentiate the prolongation of one’s own progenybeyond the grave. If it were not so, what other reasonwould there be for such a rigorous differentiation exceptfor fostering inheritance? There must have been somegreat objective pursued by the Supreme Will in havinggranted humans the prerogative of an unmistakable andunchangeable identity, which could be no other than thatof their own individual perpetuation. Yet, such19v

Carlos Bernardo González Pecotche(raumsol)perpetuation, which may eventually become conscious,will not be rendered if one does not obey the laws or if heinfringes the precepts and norms of evolution.As mentioned previously, inheritance, as that linewhich individualizes humans within the realm of livingcreatures, may slacken to the point of dissolution. Thecause of this lies in the logical depuration that the Law ofInheritance carries out through the channels of selection,since it would be of scant interest to the purposes ofhuman evolution to effect the perpetuation of a humanbeing, for exam ple, who has shown, in all stages of his/her life, the signs, expressions and characteristics of abarbarian, or of an individual who, in his/her deca dence,has fallen far below the limits permitted by this law.From what has been proposed thus far, we can inferthat perpetuation is defined and becomes tangible in thesuperior formation of the conscience, that is, when thehuman soul is able to attain its true objectives through apermanent and uninterrupted evolutionary action.Humans become aware of the reality that selfinheritance offers them only when they embark on theprocess of conscious evolution. It is precisely in thatinstant, when they confront themselves, that the truths ofthat self-inheritance come to light. What, up to thatmoment, could they honestly say they were able toinherit thanks to their own initiative and efforts? Might20v

Self-Inheritancethey have not blushed, more than once, when they sawthe empty coffers of their inheritance? Everything up tothat point had been left up to chance, that is, tounconsciousness. Everything, until then, had been donewithout thinking for a moment about the hereafter,about the prolongation of existence. However, there arethose who have stopped to wonder: What may I expectafter death? Where will my soul go when I die?Attempts have been made to explain certainphenomena described as hallucinations, which refer to thesurfacing of “souls in torment” who, seeking relief, revisitthe places that were familiar to them before they died.How simplistic it becomes to explain such things whenone does not possess the knowledge that makes humanswise and prudent in their judgment! Could one not saythat the souls all over the world, who suffer because oftheir own errors and faults, enduring injustice of everysort, are themselves the souls in torment? These – and noothers – are the true souls in torment: the ones who havealready exhausted the resources of their own inheritance,who have nothing and are no longer capable of doingwhat is necessary to recover and transcend the moral,spiritual and physical decline that overwhelms their lives.The inheritance of the spirit, in its evolutionary stage– that which humans inherit from their own self, that is,their self-inheritance – is the sum of all the superior21v

Carlos Bernardo González Pecotche(raumsol)cognitions acquired and the good deeds accomplished withthem throughout the different phases of a human being’sexistence. Such inheritance is the essence of the thoughtsthat have presided each such phase of life and endows itwith content. This is what humans – through the processof conscious evolution – may unceasingly transfer totheir offspring by way of examples and direct supportto their psychological, moral and spiritual formation.Now then, what kind of inheritance might webequeath ourselves when indiscriminately allowing allsorts of thoughts to enter our minds? That is, goodthoughts and bad ones, thoughts of our own andextraneous ones, all entering and exiting our mindswithout our being aware of such motions? What mightbe said about our daily actions, of the most variednature? And what about our intentions and our words,whose inconsis tency bears evidence of our unstableconduct? What could possibly be expected from suchchaos? What good could we extract from a disorientedmind, full of contradictions; or from a conceited mind,full of obscurities? Undoubt edly, thoughts just asobscure as that mind. Thus, that will be its inheritance.If it is by force of inheritance that we may todayenjoy that which was bequeathed to us from our parents,– be it a vocation for studies, industry, or art, as well asspiritual inquietudes, and so on, should we not, perhaps,22v

Self-Inheritanceincrease our own assets with these resources, thus addingto our parents’ contri bution? We know that whatever wemay be able to add to it today, shall be, in turn, inheritedtomorrow. We are not referring, needless to say, tomaterial assets, for the accumulation we may make interms of knowledge and experience is far more significantand effective. The accumulation of such assets, in aconstant manner, should allow us to enrich this inheritanceday by day, inheriting today that which was carried outyesterday; and tomorrow, that which we do today.The fact that one may not yet possess a clear idea ofthe inestimable role played by knowledge and organizationof the mental system in the events concerning selfinheritance, will certainly create some difficulty inunderstanding our exposition. Nevertheless, it will be easyto sense the great perspectives offered to man’s possibilities.The mental or spiritual inheritance encompasses –as previously noted – the assets of transcendent cognition,which are the fruit of any previous effort or achievementintended to engrave them in one’s conscience. Thepoint to be stressed is that should no record be kept ofthose assets, out of sheer ignorance that they arepossessed in the first place, then the possibility ofbecoming its direct beneficiary is postponed. Noticethat we have only said postponed, not annulled, for thepossibility of connecting oneself to it will always exist.23v

Carlos Bernardo González Pecotche(raumsol)Though hidden, those treasures buried deep in theentrails of the earth still exist.As soon as they are discovered,they acquire tangibility and may enrich the life of anindividual, a nation and even of all mankind.This is exactlywhat happens with the treasures of one’s own inheritance.Taking a moment to emphasize that these treasures stemfrom one’s own inheritance seems warranted. That thisshould be so obeys to their traceability to our parents,who gathered their own inheritance in both the ascendingand descending lines of their own blood relations. It is,unquestionably, a spiritual relay, where each generationtakes the torch of its own inheritance and illuminates itspath, traveling as far across the remarkable path of evolutionas its capabilities may allow. It would not be difficult toinfer that in an infinite of cases this torch remains in thesame spot, or barely moves at all due to the lack ofcognitions regarding this significant and magnificent reality.Perhaps those how have followed our expositionabout self-inheritance and the cognitive assets havealready ripened the following question in their minds:How does one take up the thread of one’s owninheritance again? How does one penetrate that greatlife-changing secret?The answer is, precisely in the message offered byLogosophy, a science that discovers the most reconditemysteries of the human soul and of the transcendental24v

Self-Inheritanceand universal world. To demonstrate it we refer to oneof its basic conceptions: the one that reveals the freedevelopment of the spirit and its manifestations, whichare independent of one’s will.Inheritance is etched in one’s spirit, for it is the spiritwhich outlives the physical entity, appearing throughouttime following its hereditary cell. Unquestionably,self-knowledge implies knowing one’s own spiritaccording to its potential and activity. This knowledgeis the reencounter of the mental cells, which identifyand unite themselves through the magnetization ofhereditary force, wherefrom the true entity emerges.Naturally, this requires that the process of evolution ofone’s conscience be carried out consciously.The assets of knowledge cannot be inheritedthrough ignorance. This is why it is necessary toactivate the field of one’s own possibilities so thatinheritance can be allowed to manifest itself wheneverthe opportunity arises.The process of conscious evolution offered byLogosophy strives towards that aim, since it not onlyencompasses the fundamental aspects of the individualand his/her life and destiny, but also reaches out tothe transcendental world where, at one point, and forthe benefit of human knowledge and wisdom, the spiritmay act unconstrained.25v

Carlos Bernardo González Pecotche(raumsol)In short, that unequivocal reality – one’s self -inheritance– acquires greater strength and relevance at the intersectionbetween two mental cells: one which contains one’sinheritance and the other which can prolong it, endowingit with boundless energy and richness.As long as human beings remain unaware of thattruth, they shall live in the dark regarding such a valuablepossibility. They will thus struggle and hover over a seaof complications without being able to find a solutionfor the great problem of their existence, namely, thefundamental reason for their presence on earth and theorientation that can enlighten them in order tounderstand their own truth and be happy.26v

Self-Inheritance I t seems nothing short of astonishing that since times immemorial, humans have remained unaware of a reality that so directly and exclusively concerns them: their self-inheritance. Much has been thought and written about the material and psychological dimensions of inheritance - not to mention its legal ones.
