Each individual in the world has a unique vocation, a capacity that others do not have, that only that person has. To discover that within and to recognize your own is to build a very unique world , in which you have a place, and your friend has a place, which nobody can replace. Such a idea is related with the Being, with the forces of the psyche flowing from innate knowledge.
The other type of knowledge that we have is borrowed knowledge, which is knowledge that we borrow with the personality; for instance, in this moment you are reading this type of knowledge and you are placing it in your personality; so, you can read a book, you can watch TV, you can listen to the radio, or you can watch a movie, and all of that knowledge, whether positive or negative, goes directly into your personality. Such is borrowed knowledge.
So, we have to make a difference and to understand what innate knowledge is and what borrowed knowledge is.
Borrowed knowledge is precisely in the personality; this is what the esoteric teachings call Nimrod, the mighty hunter that has to build in order to be powerful and deal with life. But unfortunately the Nimrods of that time, according to the bible, forgot about their Spirit. And they said one to another, "Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly in order to build this tower of Babel, or this society, this city, in order to be one." But it is written:
Genesis 11:5: And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
Here in this verse, our own particular Spirit, descends from the higher plains in order to see the tower that we the children of men are building, that is based only in superficiality, in personality. (The antichrist will mimic this process as an impostor of the devine essence to check on our modern babylon).
This type tower has nothing to do with the divine. According to sacred teachings, in the tower of Babel there were three different types of people that were working together, with three different agendas.
Three Types of Personalities
The first type said: "Let us build a tower, go to the top, and rest." Of course, this is the phrase for those who want to establish themselves on the top, in the intellectual center, as leaders. Those people were the ones that were scattered abroad from thence in different groups upon the face of all the earth.
The second type of people said: 'Let us ascend and wage war against God," or "Let us go to the top, and shoot or slander the world." These are the instinctual dark seekers that, of course, only develop the motor-instinctual-sexual centre. They only think of becoming powerful through wars, through fights, through battles, through arguments, debates, etc.
These are very abundant in this day and age. These are people that are very strong in their personality, and are no longer are in contact with their particular individual Being, with their own particular essence. So these people are also atheists, or they really do not care about spirituality. They are part of this society, or this tower of Babel, and they go on top of the tower and make war. But - according to the laws of evolution and devolution - those people devolve into the bodies of devolving animals, because they are no longer in contact with their own divine essence.
The third type are those related with the emotional center, who want to worship God, who want to enter into the path, but through the wrong way. This third type says: "Let us ascend and serve idols." Precisely those of the third type were scattered to the earth because of their confusion of tongues. What is the basis of the confusion of tongues of this type of people that worship idols? Well, they are those people that identify with the personality (idol) of some individuals that are related, of course, with this tower of Babel. These types worship the messenger and make excuses for their self served messages.
Let us go build a tower, and on the top of the tower let us build an idol, and let us worship the idol." So, this is the problem of this society, They are in a confusion of tongues because all of the different groups are following personalities: idols. They forget that the unity that we need to build is inside, not outside; this is why they identify with personalities.
"Do not follow me!" The personality is just something that is born in it's time, grows in it's time, and dies in it's time.
There is no future for the personality. This is why it is stupid to name as "Master" the personality of somebody. The Master is inside, not outside. But the people who do not understand the doctrine, who are not serious, who do not study, they form idols. In other words, they worship personalities. And some personalities like to be worshipped. And that is a problem.
Some people think that the whole thing of life is to become powerful in this physical world. They do not understand that the only one who wants to become powerful in this physical world is a Nimrod. This is why it is stated that Nimrod made a war against God. It is not as the uninitiated think, that Nimrod was making war to a certain God there in the clouds. When you see the building of the tower of Babel as painted in many images, you see that the top is reaching the clouds. Thus, in the mind of those uninitiated who do not understand the myth , the symbol behind the myth, they think that the God written in the bible is there in the clouds. Yet, now in this day and age because we have airplanes and rockets that go into the space, they no longer say that He is in the clouds, now, they say that He is a gigantic Being somewhere far beyond, in the space. Thus, according to their lack of study , Nimrod was trying to make war upon that puppeteer, to that tyrant of the ignorant multitudes. That "God" never existed, and does not exist, because God is within.
When you forgot that God is within, that God is inside of you-when you forget that you have to make the unity of that God within-then you try to make that unity outside. And this is why people in this day and age are trying to make one language, one speech, because there is confusion, since people only see differences in each one of us in relation with the personality. They say, "How much money do you have, because if you have a lot, you then have a strong personality. You have no money? Well then you are nobody!" They forget to see inside. .
It is written in the bible, they say: "Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly." What is brick? It is clay; it is the matter of this physical world. You take clay, you make bricks and you make them in series, and you make a tower brick by brick. This is precisely the way in which people behave in this day and age with their mind. They just make bricks. In other words, they give value to material things. If one brick of that tower falls down, they are so worried, because this society doesn't care if the one that was putting that brick there falls . "Oh, he fell , it doesn't matter, take him away, since another person will appear in order to put more bricks here and to make this society (Tower) strong." So, they do not care about the individual, but only about the material things. This is how society is. It is another tower of Babel, in which there is confusion, in which people are placed in different positions, in different occupations, based only on their personality. And that personality is Nimrod, the mighty hunter. They do not care about God; they are even making war upon God. We in this system wether we like it or not are rebuiding the tower of Babel every day.
