The Revolution of the Dialectic
Chapter 5: Comprehension — “Human Problems”
“Every problem has been created by the mind and exists as long as the mind sustains it. Every problem is a mental form that the mind sustains.
Every mental form has a triple process: emergence, subsistence, and dissipation. Every problem emerges, subsists, and then dissipates. The problem emerges because the mind creates it, it subsists as long as the mind does not forget it, and it dissipates or dissolves when the mind forgets it.
When thought ceases, beatitude is then born within us, and later, illumination comes. Before arriving at illumination we must first pass through beatitude.
Three are the phases of transformation: non-thinking, beatitude, and illumination. Intuition is illumination. Every enlightened person resolves the most difficult problems.
Indeed, problems cease to exist when we forget them. We must not try to resolve problems, we must dissolve them. They are dissolved when they are forgotten.
The problem is an ultra-sensible mental form with two poles, one positive and the other negative.
Do not be afraid; forget the problem. Thus, in this manner, the problem will be dissolved. Do you know how to play chess? A game of chess would not be a bad idea in order to forget the problem, or drink a cup of coffee or a good cup of tea and then go to the swimming pool and swim, or climb a mountain and laugh a little; it feels good to laugh. This will cause you to forget the problem. At any moment, a hunch comes and the problem is then resolved. Perhaps the solution is not to your liking, yet the truth is that the problem is resolved, or better said, dissolved.
A sage once stated, “Take care of the thing before it comes into existence, therein is where any solution lies, because let us not forget that the problem has been born and has its existence within the mind.””
— V. M. Samael Aun Weor
