Q: What is the difference from Psychology?
A: "Let us now consider how greatly the position of the
undergraduate changes as soon as he decides to adopt our method. No
sooner does the student begin to delve into the arcane of the
Logosophical Science than he realizes that there is a wide
difference between the current Psychology, which lacks definite
contents, and the logosophical conception, which leads man to the
exact comprehension of the intricate psychological topics,
especially when the individual has to face the requirements of his
own inner needs."
"Logosophy leads man to investigate and analyze his own psychological
structure, in his inner self. It is as if the doors to his inner
world were opened to him - a world unknown up until this moment, no
matter how much he believed he knew about it. He is now more
attracted by the truth that he discovers about himself than the
truth he believed he knew about others. He comprehends and
consequently admits the error into which psychologists have fallen
as they conduct their investigations outside of themselves, without
the slightest support of their conscious inner experiences. To these
initial results other results follow progressively. Through the
initiation of the process of conscious evolution the undergraduate
perceives the influx of a new current of energy flowing from this
reality which he has set in motion within himself."

Q: What is the difference from
Philosophy
A: "The science of Logosophy differs entirely from the various
philosophical systems, which are reserved for those persons who
venture to add them to their mental assets as a means of keeping
abreast of the problems they pose. Logosophy does not pose problems,
but solves them individually, because each man is an
individual entity who needs to solve his own problems; in doing so,
he places himself in a position to help others solve for themselves
the problems which confront them. This means that the sources of
Logosophy are within everyone's reach, since Logosophy's powerful
and beneficial influence extends to others through the generosity
which it develops in those who cultivate its teaching. The
logosophical cognitions, as already stated act in the inner self of
the individual curing the human deficiencies; for this action,
altruism soon occupies a prominent place in the life of the student
of this science, banishing forever egoism, a psychological fault
that, in and by itself, is enough to frustrate every prospect of
individual and collective betterment."

Q: What is the difference from
ideologies and political conceptions?
A: "The science of Logosophy also differs fundamentally from all the
political conceptions and ideologies, because these are all based,
without exception, on a disguised or manifested domination of the
human masses. Not one of them has ever concerned itself in helping
the citizen to develop his individual integrity, nor taught him to
become self-sufficient in the acts of his life and to be truly
conscious of his responsibility as a member of society or social
group of which he is a part, without losing, of course, his own
identity, his freedom, and independence. In summary, Logosophy
demonstrates that positive results will only be obtained when we
start out with the betterment of the individual in order to achieve
the betterment of society, instead of proceeding in a reverse
manner."

Q: Is Logosophy a religion?
A: "Judging from the state of inquietude, dissatisfaction, doubt,
and desolation manifested by the majority of those who seek, or have
sought, the aid of our teachings, we can, with good reason, infer
that the occidental civilization, that is to say, its culture -
which is its content - finds itself on the verge of an inevitable
collapse. For centuries, it has not improved its concepts which have
remained shackled to what has been called "tradition", without
having thought, of course, that man's great possibilities concerning
his evolution must not be severed because this would disqualify him
for the complete fulfillment of the highest objective of his
existence. With millenary obsequiousness, man has been inculcated
with ideas and beliefs which have served only to harden his
feelings, and to immobilize certain zones of his mind, those which
respond precisely to the inner dictates of approximation to his
Creator, his God. This is exactly what we have seen emerge to the
surface of man's individual world no sooner is he lead to examine,
which lucid judgment, upon what reality his blind faith is based on,
and whether he has ever paused to reflect upon the need of being
certain about a question of such transcendence. We have found in
almost every individual the same obstinate resistance to carry out
such an examination of conscience. And in every one of them -
without exception - we have seen the manifestation of the fear of
being shown the error in which they are living. As if this error,
which they have unconsciously adhered to, would miraculously be
converted into a truth in compensation for their blindness and for
the sole fact of having believed it.
Nevertheless, in spite of this inconvenience, we have been able to
verify the efficacy of our method, as it successfully acts upon the
mental and sensitive systems of those who, in such conditions, come
to the logosophical source to be thoroughly informed about its
essential contents. For truth's sake, we must point out that it took
quite a lot of effort to bring back to reality those persons who had
been strongly inculcated with ideas and beliefs on the religious type.
It is easy for the expert logosopher to discover the predominant
characteristic of this class of individuals who, in their majority,
have been subjected, from their early years, to the process of
fixation of certain rigid, and therefore static, images concerning
their spiritual education. We have also witnessed their awakening,
and their manifest emotion of happiness, as they experience for the
first time the sublime sensation of thinking and feeling with
complete freedom, a possibility which, deep within their souls, had
already manifested itself as an intensely felt necessity.
This proves that the prohibitions, established by certain
communities with respect to childhood and which last throughout the
believer's life, are entirely harmful to the spiritual and evolutive
development of the human being."

Q: What is the
logosophical conception of God?
A: "For Logosophy, God is the Supreme Creator of the Universal
Science, because all the processes in Creation perform their
function pursuant to the dictates of His Wisdom. Man's science is
but a faint reflection of the latter, which is the permanent source
of all his inspirations. This is the reason why Logosophy often
mentions the name of God; a God stripped of artifices Who shows His
earthly subjects the plenitude of his natural splendor in His Magna
Scientia and in His Absolute Truth."
From the book
Initiation Course Into Logosophy page 15
"It should be admitted that, since the conception of God
is unique and unembraceable in its entirety by virtue of its
unlimited cosmic contour, each human being must construct this image
within himself, to the extent that his cognitions permit hum to
approach His Great Image, comprehending, as far as lies in his
power, the greatness of His incommensurable Wisdom.
God is not, nor could He ever be, the implacable avenger who flings
souls into hell to suffer definitive disintegration, nor is He
either the supposed Almighty Lord of this or that religion. To
believe in such a utopia is to implicitly deny His Omnipresence, His
Omnipotence and Omniscience."

Q: How does one
study Logosophy?
A: "The logosophical cognitions - we have often pointed out, and
will repeat as many times it as need be - must not be read or
listened to without special attention, nor should they be hastily
absorbed by one's understanding, for they are meant to create a new
individuality. They will inevitably have to be assimilated by one's
conscience. Moreover, logosophical cognitions make up an indivisible
whole within the conception from which they originate; this is the
reason that must lead the student to a profounder investigation, so
as to comprehend them in their totality, and not as isolated
fragments."
"... let us say that Logosophy is studied and practiced following
the method specifically prescribed by this science. This method -
essentially psychodynamic - prescribes study and practice made
individually to be complemented by the interchange and practice made
collectively."
"The individual study and practice comprises
three stages which extend throughout one's life, recurring in
ascending progression. In its initial steps, it is thus specified:
a) First stage: Consists of the interpretative study of the
main subjects included in the program and the student can study
others of his particular interest. It begins with a general review
of the logosophical books in order to obtain a general idea of the
whole conception which has inspired them. The next step is a
thorough study of the topics comprised in the program, with precise
directions concerning logosophical achievement. As the student
gradually progresses in reading and delving into the topics, he will
ask of himself what he has understood, and then will make note of
it. This is a very recommendable practice, since it permits
aggregating the progressive steps taken towards grasping the values
contained in each cognition. This aspect of the process, which
is documented for one's own orientation, also contributes with great
efficacy to the clarification of ideas and concepts."
b) Second stage: Is characterized by a greater intensity
towards the study with the objective of one's conscious formation,
while closely observing the oscillations of one's temperament, the
factors which influence them, and so forth. Here, the teaching is
studied more in depth, adding at this time to one's training the
application of the teachings to life in the many distinct areas in
which he carries on his daily activities.
c) Third stage: completes the cycle, enabling the mastery
of cognitions and the creation of new aptitudes which are to be used
for the benefit of one's individual process of conscious evolution.
It will be easy to understand that logosophical maturity is attained
when, following one's technical apprenticeship, basic comprehensions
of the teachings are elaborated and put to use in the experimental
field of one's life. Its correct application converts the
teaching into a cognition. The cognition awakens one's
conscience to the reality which gives substance to such cognition,
emanating from the conscience, as acquired aptitudes, every time the
circumstances require it. The habitual exercise of the consciously
acquired aptitudes gradually perfects them. This is how their daily
use contributes to imprint in the individual, with indelible traits,
the archetypal emblem of the spiral represented in the new science
by the psychodynamic method which Logosophy has established for the
live, ultra scientific processes, destined to develop the superior
qualities of the human species."
"We have mentioned before that our method prescribes, as a
complement to the study and practice of the logosophical teaching
done individually, the study and practice accomplished collectively.
The student's comparison of his interpretations or comprehensions of
the teachings with those achieved by other students of Logosophy,
who are approximately at the same level of investigation, will
permit him to verify whether his intelligence has perceived all of
the aspects of the topic studied, or, at least, the more accessible
ones. It follows then that individual study is, to a certain extent,
inseparable from the collective study."

Q: How do I start the study?
A: To start studying Logosophy, one needs to contact one of the
Logosophy Study Centers. Students at these centers hold special
meetings free of charge which are designed to inform the ones who
are interested in knowing more about Logosophy.
The objective of these meetings is to give a clear and precise idea
of the objectives of the study and verify if it meets your
inquietudes. In addition, you will be able to access Carlos Bernardo
González Pecotche's bibliography, which is an indispensable material
for the study.
