In Magic we are not interested in knowing the Peirce diagram, we are

interested in using it. A Diagram that serves us for everything in life, including
learning.

Every problem in life is a problem located in one of the 4 quadrants of the


Pierce Diagram, everything that becomes problematic in life is because it is
trapped in one of those 4 places. If we understand this, our concept of a
problem changes to a very different place than the one we usually know: our
problem is not as particular as we believe; On a large scale, humanity has
always had the same problems, at different times in its history. On a personal
level, human beings always have more or less the same trivial problems, so we
spend our lives dealing with the trivial without actually dealing with what is really
important. The problem we have can take two paths: either it gives us meaning
to life or it ends up revealing the meaning of life to us. Hinduism says that when
you finish going through the 4 Vedas, you end up in a higher plan called
Purusha, which means that we all spend our lives asking God to solve our
problems. When we go through the 4 Vedas we find that God helps us. He
made us so that we can solve the problems that God needs to solve; So we are
an extension of his intelligence, to solve our daily problems that he needs to
solve. And here our position changes, from victims to collaborators of God in his
wonderful plan. And if we help God, solving the problems (the same problems
that we experience incarnation after incarnation) for which we incarnate, God
will help us.

If we understand this, then we need to empty ourselves of old paradigms


(such as those that make us believe that our trivial problems are our big
problems, in which we do not drown), to fill ourselves with new paradigms. We
also understand that the micro and the macrocosm have no border, that as it is
in the micro, it is in the macro (as it is in this life, it is in interlives). We also
understand that, if we all have such similar problems, there must be a Higher
Intelligence trying to solve them through us. This gives us a greater role. It is
very important that we solve our problems, it is very important that once and for
all we stop being trapped in the same problems, not only for ourselves, but also
for Purusha, that Higher Intelligence, because if we help Purusha to solve a
problem that Purusha didn't have it, Purusha immediately takes our side. This is
also the central concept of the Andean Spiritual Tradition and is known as Ayni
(Symmetry, Reciprocity).

And what are these problems in which humans are normally trapped? And
what are the traps by which we believe we solve them, what incarnation and
incarnation do we see that we have not solved? The concept of resolution in
humans is an illusory concept of which, furthermore, humans are not aware and
truly believe that medicine solved health problems, and economics and politics
solved economic problems. But we do not realize that the current problems are
a derivation of the previous ones, which means that the previous problems had
not been resolved.

What happens in life, in the mind, in the most structural part of the human
being, which is why there is a need, as a species, to tie together identical
problems and that, wherever it is born and born when it is born, the problems
are always the same? Each of us has to achieve something different in our
lives, beyond the Id (I), beyond our Identification, beyond the Self. The Greeks
said that there are only 4 plots for the novel: hate-love, life-death, wealth-
poverty, health-illness; In reality they said that no one has a new problem, when
someone manages to have a new problem, they create a new myth that shows
us problems that seem to come from somewhere else because they are
precisely not what we are literally used to. This discovery allows us to reduce
the weight of the backpack of our lives a little: such serious things do not
happen to us; and at some point in our journey we will have to solve really
serious problems and at that moment we will have grown, we will have learned.
To have really new problems you have to go through all these issues, over and
over again, until they no longer trap us. Either it is a design error, and in the
universe there are no design errors, or there is a superior wisdom in this rare
phenomenon in our life, which has an average of 70 years, between 3 and 7
years the prison of the Me, from which the rest of us will have to come out. That
is, 10% of the time of our life is to create prison and 90% is to learn to get out of
it. Of that 90%, 70% we use first to find out that we are in a prison; and 20% we
will use to learn how to get out of jail. This prison, the habitual thing, is the habit
that prevents us from finding our own, full life in which we decide and not
something in us decides how far we go in everything we do. When we start with
this hypothesis, our backpack becomes much lighter because from the outset
we begin to understand that we are part of the same problem that we are all
trying to solve. What does it consist of that which becomes a problem in our
lives? Very few people are willing to accept that the problems they have are not
so special, that since the beginning of humanity they are the same and that
when they are willing to solve them from this perspective they are just starting in
their own life, that is why this other path is called Initiation and the one who
does it, Initiate. An Initiatory Journey cannot be made without this break
consisting of confronting this reality.

Part of the fundamental solution is to no longer believe that we are justified


in not doing what we said we would do because of our problems. Initiation is for
those who do what they say they are going to do, despite Sphinxes and
obstacles. Discovering this is discovering that, in reality, for some reason, the
Universe needs us to learn to get out of the prison of our Self. When we go to
past lives we find that we put together different scenes to always arrive at the
same conflict, but since time is linear and circular at the same time (and in the
New Age we use both times to access the third time, timelessness, the divine
time) it does not occur to us that we can also take a trip to the afterlife, which is
possible if we move in circular time, in which there is neither before nor after. In
circular time our future generates our present, so we can see through our
present, our future, because the present is a consequence of the future and the
future is the cause of the present. So, from this present we can understand that
what is causing the present problem, we can find it in the future and then we
must go there to understand it, because in the future it is already done. When
we go to look for future lives we are looking for the best possible life to solve
what in this life we have not yet solved, which is to make the problem more
complicated and not easier. In the linear logic of the Self we understand that,
when our problem is easy, the solution is easier. Experience shows the
opposite: the easier our problem is, the more we get used to it and the less we
care about solving it, so if we want to have a future that is easier than the
present, we solve now what we have no interest in solving today because
otherwise we will have to spill years of a next incarnation and subsequent
incarnations with the same problem, but more and more, until it bothers us.
Something else happens when we go to future lives; We understand a very
powerful sense (very good, very ally), that when we leave the prison of the Self,
we are not free from the prison, because another conception is created for us
from which we will also have to learn to free ourselves. We are also going to
want to maintain that more advanced conception, like when we achieve some
improvement in life and at the same time that improvement in life is transformed
again into a symptom, into an illness. When we manage to free ourselves from
a prison, the new state we reach becomes a prison again, so it is good to learn
to get out of every prison. He who learns to recognize a prison and get out of a
prison, learns to recognize every time he is in a prison and learns to get out
every time he is in a prison. So, going to future lives we understand that the
present is like a logical consequence of the future. When we learn to handle a
boat, we learn to handle all boats; The incarnation changes, now we are in a
new boat, if we learned to drive in the previous one, we learned to drive in the
next one. When we learn to handle ourselves, getting where we want with the
boat, even if they change our boat, we will continue the same. That is Initiation.
And Initiation teaches us the 11 levels in which every problem is generated and
the 11 levels with which we create solutions, whatever reality throws at us.
Initiation teaches us to read the structure of the prison that was set up for us
and then we can find the loopholes through which that prison can never trap us.
And, precisely, the Self does not want us to see This because we see the
ordinary of our Self. And this teaches us every trap or prison that the Self sets
up for us, while it sets it up for us, whether it has set it up for us when it has set
it up for us or is about to set it up for us; We will see every prison that the Self
builds for us, while it builds it for us, it has built it for us when it has built it for us
and even detected when it is just about to be built for us. What time are we
talking about here? Of Circular Time. And the Self fears circular time. In Greek
mythology, Cronus (Saturn), who manages linear chronological time, feared his
son Jupiter (Zeus), because he managed circular time. Then Jupiter was afraid
of what his children would do with him; prison repeats. So linear time fears
circular time, but it is also true that circular time fears linear time; That is why in
the New Era we must manage both times. The Self fears that we think in
circular time because we catch it in situations like, for example, that what
happens to us with our children is the same thing that happened to us with our
parents, so is our problem as parents or as children? Then, we begin to think
that the circularity of time frees us from the character and, then, we understand
that we do not have problems as parents, because they are the same ones we
had as children; We have problems as people, we are not going to solve them
in front of our children, we have to solve them with ourselves, before ourselves,
because they are the same problems. Later we discover that the problem is
transferred to other spheres of our life, for example, at work we have the same
problem: the problem with the boss is a carbon copy of the problem we have
with our children or our parents. We do not realize that the approach is circular,
while the Self believes that it is making a linear approach. For example, that
man who raises a problem with his new boss, who is demanding, who wants
everything quickly, who doesn't know anything, who believes that everything
revolves around her, etc. and she finds herself expressing a similar problem
with her newborn daughter, who is demanding, who wants everything quickly,
who doesn't know anything, who believes that everything revolves around her,
etc. And when asked what he wants to achieve, he states that before the birth
of his daughter he wants to fulfill a good fatherly role. His ego takes a linear
approach, as it makes him believe that he has a problem with his daughter and
another with his boss. He does not realize that the approach is circular, that his
problem arises every time he is faced with growth, since the new boss and the
newborn daughter (the family is growing) precisely represent growth, because
there is something new in his life. . And surely if we see any other sphere of
your life, the same problem presents itself: the problem with growth and if you
do not solve it, every time, in your life, and in their lives, growth occurs, you will
lose the center of your reality. . While we believe, in our ego, that we are doing
a linear approach, our psyche (our 90% that we have to learn to use if we want
to do magic) must learn to manage the two times, which pass at the same time,
happening a temporal crossing which means that when we believe in one line,
the other line has already set up the issue for us and if we catch the psyche's
mind on what it is doing, then circularity becomes our ally, because it means
that discovering that circularly we have always had the same problem, is to go
directly to the root where we have to solve the issue. Instead of believing that
we have 200 bad fruits (problems), we understand that we have one root (the
root of the problem) that generates the 200 bad fruits, or rots them, or feeds
them, all at the same time. The root of the problem is always in circular
temporality, but we have to look for it in linear time, because that is where it
manifests itself. Linear time is where we find out about the problem and circular
time is where we discover what that problem is and that is where we can solve,
in a single act, all the problems that have a single root. Every time we find, in
circular or subtle time, what the problem is, it disappears where it manifested in
linear time. There is no longer a possible resolution, because the problem has
already been resolved. Here we clearly see that we have to deal with both
times. Everyday life shows us in each scene a problem, always the same. If we
learn to think like this, we are switching in our mind and starting to let the two
times coexist in our mind, because the two times have their function: linear time
has the function of letting the self create the problem so that the Self finds out.
that what the ego makes him believe is a problem, is the problem of his life,
which the ego has to solve; The Self will encounter the same problem every
time it encounters a certain word that also has a certain sound (there are
sounds. We have to learn to Unfold Time, to think at the same time in linear
time and circular time. That is the secret of the Magician. The Magician uses
seeing the finished model, the magician sees the fruit where others don't even
see the seed. The Magician sees circularity, but also linearity. For example, in a
project, when the Magician sees the seed and also sees the fruit, he is already
thinking in circular time, so he has the probability of modifying what needs to be
modified, and at the moment he is already modifying the fruit, although the fruit
did not even appear. When we do that we handle ourselves in both times. When
we express what we want, we are giving the pretext; The true text is the one
that in circular time we have to detect what is carried wherever it goes, that is a
pattern that we follow, but we are not the pattern, the pattern is something that
is there, but we are not we. This means that we have to be able to move in two
times at the same time. We have to learn to think with one foot in each world,
one foot in the right hemisphere (linear time) and another in the left (circular
time), the shaman has his feet on the ground (he relies on linear time) and his
head in the sky (but think in circular time).

When we think about circular time we realize that we do not have areas in
our lives. When we have a problem it is the same problem in all areas, it is just
that in some it has already manifested and in others it has not. And when it
manifests itself in the side area, we do not recognize that it is the same problem
that we had already talked about before. And if we apply Listening and listen to
both times, we also realize that our entire life is contained in a phrase and the
problem is contained in that phrase; that is exactly what our reality is about.
This is liberating, because if we actually solve the problem, we free our life from
that problem and every time that problem arises, we will be able to recognize it
and since we have already learned how to solve it, then our Self, which always
pulls us with the same , we are already beating him, because our self always
throws the same thing at us because he always succeeded with that. But when
he can no longer defeat us, the enemy changes his weapon and that means
that we have grown. Our self knows that it stops us with certain issues, for
example, when we reach an achievement it waits for us to fade it, but if we do
not allow it to do so we have gained ground from the Universe. The self will
come looking for us later, but that is what life is for, that is why it is called
Presence, that is why we must be in a constant state of stalking; At any moment
the enemy will jump, but we will eat that prey that previously jumped to scare us
or eat us. That is, when a phrase detects in the subtle (circular time) where the
problem that the person tells us in the dense (linear time) is created, that is, the
person tells us the problem in a dense temporality, but we have to listen. that
taking it to a circular key, that is, understanding that as the problem of your life.
And, furthermore, we have to see what we have done in the face of the problem
that we ourselves generate, because if we solve it we have solved our life. We
have to detect how far our self allows us to go, the limit it sets for us, to go
beyond the self, that limit. That is the Initiatory Path. And we have to corner
ourselves against what the self holds us back. That's why we have Listening.
And what problem do we have to solve? The same one that prevents us from
achieving the Result. To do this we have tools such as transference (Tan Tien),
transferring the problem to the teacher in our relationship with the teacher,
transferring the problem to our companions in our relationship with the temple
(to others, in the process of initiation or initiates). , and that is where it is
modulated when we recognize that we are facing that problem. The goal is for
us to recognize the problem, because we encounter the problem, that is, the
problem is for us to encounter, because the problem is a mirror of us. For this,
supervision gives us linear time to solve the problem and then shows us that the
same problem is circular in our lives. It's hard to learn to think like that. But it is
even more difficult to move between two times, between two realities. The other
reality (circular time) is the release from prison. When we are stuck in a problem
we are stuck in a circular problem, we need linearity to find out about that
problem. In martial arts there is a phrase “kindly throw the first blow at me
because I need to see where I am wrong.” That is to say, in supervision
situations are set up for the ego to take its hit; that is linearity, to find circularity
(the man whose women are always unfaithful to him, linear time, because he is
always unfaithful to himself, circular time). We require linear time so that circular
time can throw its arrow at us and show us what its arrow is, but we are not
going to solve it in linear time because the arrow comes from circular time,
because if we solve it in linear time, circular time will return to shoot his arrow at
us again and again.

It is difficult to learn to think between two times, it is difficult to learn to


manage between two times, but you learn. But to learn it we require a certain
key: the more difficult the issue is, the more advisable it is to have certain maps
to handle these issues. And where do we find the map that teaches us to
manage, at the same time, linear time and circular time? Precisely, we need to
generate the problem in linear time knowing that the generator of the problem is
not the situation, because we never have a problem in a situation; In the
situation we have to read what problem we have beyond the situation. Nobody
has a new problem, and we require enough time, the time of a sentence, for our
ego to create that problem for us again and we can understand that this will give
us the opportunity to solve it, and better if it is in a place created for that. ,
where we can make mistakes and we can correct them before they produce
consequences. That's what supervision is for.

For that we require some way, some map that teaches us to think with
both worlds at the same time, in linear time and circular time: in the West it is
the Peirce Diagram, which is a linear and circular map at the same time, where
we can locate linearity (the dense) so that the circularity (the subtle) is
expressed and what was expressed in the linear (dense) is not resolved in the
linear, it is resolved in the circular (subtle).
In other initiatory cultures there are other initiatory maps, such as the
Stone of the Sun, in Mexico, which includes 29 different calendars or times.

The Pierce Diagram talks about all the logic of the West put into a single
box. When we learn to move in the Pierce quadrants and recognize which
quadrant a situation is in, we can do it in both ways, linear and circular. For
example, in linear time one day we enter school (quadrant 1), we graduate as
professionals (quadrant 2), when we graduate we get a job (quadrant 3) and
when we get a job one day we will be able to buy our house (quadrant 4). And
does this work? Sometimes yes sometimes no. When we get linear time to work
the way we want, well we've got it done. But when it doesn't work, in the middle
of everything we enter the university (quadrant 2) but we don't have enough
money for the monthly payments, we start again (quadrant 1), then a
temporality that is no longer linear occurred. In the middle, what happened? We
get married (quadrant 2) and the money we expected to get from our profession
(quadrant 3) is given to us by our spouse (quadrant 2). What do we do? Are we
still heading towards what we wanted or not? Because here we have a circular
time; Suddenly we are in the place where we thought we had to previously go
through work (quadrant 3) to get there. Or for example, we receive our degree
(quadrant 2), we start working (quadrant 3), we raise the money, we are about
to buy the house (quadrant 4), but suddenly we get sick, we have to use the
money to heal ourselves, circular time, it bounces back. before. This
phenomenon is observed very well in the shamanic path. On the way to the
mountain if we take one step and then another and another, we will finally reach
the top of the mountain; This is linear time. But in the middle comes the wind or
the storm, it diverts us, the same thing that delays us can help us, because we
speed up our pace or the same wind propels us towards our destination. This is
circular time, which can be a great ally or can get us off track. Life has this
continuous double journey of a linear journey and a circular journey. We can
say: if the linear serves us, we do not need the circular. Well, linear works when
it works; We study, we graduate, we find a good job, we earn good money and
we will be independent. But in practice it is not like that; For example, currently
in Europe the current generation is the most educated in history and is the one
with the least work. Secondly, linear time, even when it works, is not the most
advisable, because it takes a long time, it takes a lot of energy, it takes a lot of
time, it takes many years of our lives to reach an issue. The thing is what to do
when we get to the point. We believe that life is about having a family, a job, a
more or less stable health, but to get there we spend so much energy, so much
of our life, that we have so little energy left to preserve or enjoy what cost us so
much. achieve. Very seriously, we have to understand that linear time promises
such great things, that when it fulfills them they are not so great anyway. That
is, in the first place, when he promises them, he often does not fulfill them: for
example, he promises us that when we get married everything will be as we
expected, then our spouses are unfaithful to us and consequently we separate
and then we are back together for like five years. before; What was verified in
reality is circular time, while what linearity promised us was not fulfilled. Second,
when what it promotes works, it is not as good as it could be if for that reason
we were seeing, while we were advancing and the issue was working, the
seeds of what circularity was already putting into play.

The Pierce Diagram allows us to use linear time as a pretext to set up the
circular problem, because the same diagram will allow us to do both: read the
problem that is set up in linear time and solve it in circular time. The Peirce
Diagram allows us to let the self assemble the problem in linear time, and as
soon as it is put together, we now know with what circularity we have to solve it.
We have to learn to read Peirce's Diagram in a linear sense and in a circular
sense, in both ways, because that is how life works, the two times come
together, what in linguistics is called synchronic axis (linear time) and diachronic
axis ( circular time) and both pass as we speak.

First we need to learn to think in linear time, for which we consider 4


stages, corresponding to each of the quadrants of the Pierce Diagram. For
example, on a work day: stage 1, we arrive at work; stage 2, we start working;
stage 3, we fight; stage 4, we want to go now. Thinking like this is thinking
linearly, and linearly is a wonderful way to set a trap for those who have always
set traps for us, the self, because we know that these 4 zones are 4 strategies
that the self has to stop us and we already know where we are going. to
assemble: in one of these 4 areas.
The Pierce Diagram contains 3 logics that we need to follow in order to
use it effectively. The first is topological logic, which establishes the places or
topos of the diagram; the economic logic that establishes the number of places
(how many places) and the dynamic logic that establishes the movements
between these places.

PEIRCE DIAGRAM TOPOLOGY:

First we will locate the general Piercian guidelines. The Diagram tells us
that basically we have 4 problems:

1. A problem because we are trapped by what is Possible in our life


(quadrant 1), that is, in Aristotelian logic V x ɸ x (everything x phi of x),
which means “everything is the same”, “everything equal” , “every line is
vertical”, “everyone doing the same thing” (everyone in the same platoon,
all going to work in the morning), because you have not said that that is
what can be done, what is possible. Every day is the same, today the
same as yesterday and the same as the day before yesterday; and all the
same, all at the same time, we fall in love at the same time, we fight at the
same time, we are indifferent at the same time. None of us start our lives,
but we all believe that we are living. This is the quadrant of being caught
up in the possible. What is possible in our life; That is why the statement
“every x phi of x” V x ɸ x (where, V is all, x is the variable, ɸ is power),
means “everyone finds the same power” and also in the sense of powerful,
“ everyone believes that this will make them powerful,” and also “every
stroke is vertical.” And, very important, this is represented in “it stops
writing”, “it stops addressing”, “it stops doing what it was doing”, that is, we
get there, there is a point at which things stop, something decides. that we
stop writing to each other. From this moment and from now on, we must
take into account the following: Which quadrant is that of the disease? All.
Which quadrant is the cure? All. Like is the only thing that can cure like. In
every quadrant our illness can occur and in every quadrant our cure can
occur. Once we write all the 4 quadrants and start the linear displacement,
we have to be clear about this, because otherwise we are going to believe
that there are bad quadrants and good quadrants. “Stop writing” can be a
blessing or a tremendous curse. For example, if we started writing a book
and stopped writing it, what did we do? We stop writing: we stop writing
the book and we stop writing ourselves as writers. We stop doing it, we
stop writing to each other, we get there and say “that's it, that's it, that's it,
that's it, that's it, we were able to write this far, we can't continue anymore”
and there we remain in the quadrant of the possible. And we say
“everything I can think of the same thing”, we are saying “everything x phi
of x” ( V x ɸ x ). We don't know all the logic we know, because when we
are describing our problem, we are describing something very ordinary
called Peirce's quadrant. We don't continue, we stop writing to each other.
Here it is a disease (and not a cure). We wanted to write the whole book,
but something in us decided that we were stuck as far as we could. On the
other hand, we finished writing the book, we achieved it, we arrived. Do
we have to keep writing it? No. We cease to write (for example, if we
decide to take a trip to the top of the mountain and we finally arrive, then
we cease to climb, we cease to write, in which we change the variable x ,
climb to write; the same phrase “we cease to ascend ", can mean the
disease or the cure; it means the disease if I stop ascending because we
give up ascending and it means the cure if we stop ascending because we
arrived, we achieved it). The same phrase can be the illness or the great
cure, the realization. That is why we will see that the same quadrant that
makes some sick heals others, or the same quadrant that previously made
us sick now cures us. This is the topology of the Pierce Diagram, that is,
the establishment of the places or topos. And each of the quadrants can
be the illness (jail) or the cure (the opportunity to learn how to get out of
jail). Quadrant of one more (1+), everyone reaches the same thing, one
more of the pack, one more who believes that he is directing his life while
he is reaching as far as the self allows; We got our jobs and stopped
writing to each other.
2. Quadrant 2, the Quadrant of the Impossible, being trapped in the impossible,
what is not impossible on a daily basis, what we want in our life is impossible
and that is what our reality takes place in. We do not stop not writing to each
other, we do not stop not achieving it (we do not stop not ascending the
mountain, for example). It is the quadrant of one minus (1-), we are outside of
what we want, this year we will not achieve it either, we do not stop not
ascending the mountain, we do not stop not starting to write our novel, we do
not stop not getting into What we want is impossible for us, we are continually
subtracted from what we want, one less. Therefore, there is no line or vertical.
Denying the existence of minus one. There is no phi of x ( ⱻ x ɸ x ). There is
not at least one that stands out from the pack.
3. Quadrant 3, the quadrant of Necessary. There are lives that are trapped in
what is necessary, all day long they are asking questions based on what they
need, their entire life is hindered by what they need and do not have (they
need someone who understands them, a husband who loves them, etc.) .
They get up and start the day with what is necessary, their entire lives
revolving around what they achieve and what they do not achieve and the
needs. The people who are stuck in this quadrant are people who are
continually falling short of what they want because they are missing something
that if they had it they could, there is an issue that they are missing, that is why
it is the quadrant of at least 1 (-1), their lives revolve around the issue they are
missing, one issue they are missing (at least 1, -1). One can be in more than
one quadrant at a time, in different situations, but life tends to debut in a
particular quadrant. To be detected let's speak to be heard. If it is difficult for
us to recognize which quadrant the problem is in, let's start with the most
serious problem in our life, the one we can least solve, the problem in which
we are most visitors and the self has everything taken over, we look for that
quadrant and we will find Keep in mind that everything else is just forms of that
same problem. Minus one is less what we lack, that's why minus one is less of
a question, all day talking about what we lack, if the person is all the time
saying that he doesn't have money, minus one is less money, if at one woman
lacks a husband, less one is less husband. That minus one becomes the
center of our life, it is a prison, the prison of what we lack, we are prisoners of
what we lack. The self maintains this, because it is transformed for the self into
the promise of an advantage, the self goes to the place of at least one, of
exceptionality ("as I lack money that's why I don't pay", "as I lack of money,
that's why I don't have fun. At least one is kept under a promise that by having
that problem we occupy a place (secondary benefit of the symptom), by
having that problem we occupy a place. For example, because we do not have
money we have the right to steal, we are exempt. That is why it is called a
place of the exceptional. We believe in exceptional needs that give us
prerogatives over others, that is why it is a very covetable place for the self,
because the type of at least one is the type to whom we must understand
everything because he has needs: "he is a very needy person." ”, they need
him, he believes that he is very needy and here we can see the two aspects
(the cure and the disease): in circular time no one else needs him if he stops
having that problem; It is the one who is treated because he lacks health, the
one who is treated because he lacks money, the whole family revolves around
him thanks to the fact that he lacks something (health or money). Quadrant of
at least one is a very needy person, everyone needs it. That is why this
quadrant is the quadrant of “it does not stop writing”, when one manages to
focus “I need this thing”, it will not solve it in any way, because it does not stop
being written in that place, the need does not stop writing itself , but he takes
great care of not ceasing to write himself as the one who needs that, because
that's what the needy is like. Since this is an exception, that is why the
horizontal lines go to the other side (from quadrant 4 to 3). It is the quadrant of
life that revolves around what you lack. The whole society gives them a
special place. It is the place of the “pickets” of Argentina, of those who,
because they do not have money, cut off the routes, because the government
does not give them what they want. You have to listen to which quadrant the
problem is in and remember that the problem is the pretext for listening to the
text and what is the text? The quadrant in which the problem is in circular time.
This quadrant is that of there exists at least one ( ⱻ x ɸ silver").
4. Quadrant 4, quadrant of the Contingent, in both senses of the word.
Contingent in logic means “sometimes yes, sometimes no” (“I don't know why
we have fortune and then we lose it”, “suddenly women leave me”, “suddenly
we get sick”, we don't know what happens to us) , contingent means that there
is a law that governs us that in such a matter “sometimes yes, sometimes no.”
And contingent in the other sense of the word: “when others can, we can”, “we
go where others go”, because if others go there we go there and if others stop
going we stop going. go; When the others go, the issue comes up, but if they
stop going, it doesn't come up anymore. For example, if in our family our
brothers buy a house, we can buy a house; If they lose it, we lose it. In this
example we are operating as a contingent, because if not, we cannot be from
that family, because “in this family they are like that.” But for us it is contingent,
because we don't know when we achieve it and when we don't, why yes, why
not. If we belong to the contingent, we believe we have a place (like when we
are fans of a soccer team). As we have a place in a group thanks to the fact
that we do not differentiate ourselves from that group, but at the same time we
do not understand why we stop achieving it, because it is not that our
reference is the group or not, what we cannot resolve in this quadrant because
that sometimes we can and sometimes we can't, why sometimes it works for
me and sometimes it doesn't. It is not the one who says “this never works out
for me” (impossible quadrant), it is not the one who says “there is something
that I never achieve (necessary quadrant), it is not the one who says “I already
achieved it and I "I move within that" (quadrant of the possible), is the one who
cannot locate a response to the contingencies of his life, he is precisely
located in a place in which he believes that he cannot resolve the issue, but he
does not believe that he has to solve it, because when the issue is mentioned
to him he says “but I already achieved it, now things are going badly for me,
but I achieved it.” The promise of that is that since sometimes he succeeds
and sometimes he doesn't, he believes he is above the situation, that it is not
his turn to solve it, he believes he is more one (+1), he believes that it is not
his turn. resolve the situation and begins to attribute the cause of not achieving
it to external things, which means that he believes he is above the situation,
that it is not something that he has to solve. And he believes that he is the one
who decides in that, although when he begins to complain about what he
cannot achieve, he complains as soon as they show him that if he does not
achieve it, he is the one who caused it, claiming that he did achieve it, only
that now he cannot do it. He continually plays a game called “stop not writing”,
because he complains about what is not written, what is not achieved, he
continually complains, but when they show him that he cannot achieve it, he
responds “no, I stopped writing”. not achieving it every time I wanted, when I
achieved it I stopped not achieving it.” He responds with that to not get
involved in the situation and says “I stopped not achieving it, I achieved it, only
now I can't achieve it”, then he is continually locating “I stopped not doing it”
and believes that, now I won't achieve it and that Sometimes he succeeds,
that is, when he does not write and he stops not writing, he believes that it is
not a problem to be solved, but since he sometimes succeeds, he believes
that the problem is not his. This is the most hidden quadrant of those that
manifest (while quadrant 2 is the most hidden of all, it does not talk about the
problem, nor does it remember it anymore, it lives around it. of that), that is
why it is the quadrant of “not all x phi of x ” ( V x ɸ For him it encompasses its
entirety, he answers “no, not everything, sometimes I achieve it.” This is one of
the most difficult quadrants to detect, because it has that issue that within the
same quadrant “sometimes yes, sometimes no”. What the pretext manifests
itself when the problem arises is that it does not understand why sometimes it
succeeds and sometimes it does not. But since each quadrant is a cure and a
disease, he clings to that quadrant because when we want to show him that
not achieving it is his responsibility, he tries to show us that he does not have
that problem because he does achieve it in this or that matter. Respond with
“not everything”, “not everything is like that”, sometimes it is not like that,
sometimes it is, which is about saving with the same quadrant as if it were the
cure and not the disease.
In Tibet, these 4 quadrants are called the 4 luminous states of mind (from
the Vihara school): Doedi (which translates as “I accept your argument”, we
take what is said as possible, that is, quadrant 1) , Tagmadrubi (“I do not accept
your argument”, quadrant of the impossible), Majiab (means “not necessarily”,
so quadrant of the necessary) and Chichir (means “why?”, that is, maybe yes,
maybe no, it is the quadrant of the contingent).
DYNAMICS OF THE PEIRCE DIAGRAM:
Now we will learn to move between the quadrants. For this we have to ask
the self to manifest itself and also to manifest itself where it is not; that is the
Tao quo: the Tao that can be talked about is not the true Tao. We require that
the Tao manifest in a place where the Tao is not in order to know the Tao. We
learn about the Tao in its Yin and Yang force, in which we read the Tao. We
require that the Tao (the circularity by which we are trapped or by which we find
our way out) manifest in linearity. We give the self the pretext, we tell it to create
the problem for us so that we find out about the problem. Supervision is the field
in which we create the problem to find out what the problem is, which is
retranslated into a circular key.

In Pierce's Diagram we have the 7 logics of Western history (modal,


formal, algebraic, Aristotelian, geometric). In a situation we have to try to detect
in which quadrant the business, health, partner or whatever has stopped us was
stopped, once we detect the place well, everything that follows is mechanical;
It's like in the medical method, when the diagnosis is made right, the treatment
is already known, but if the diagnosis is wrong, everything that follows is wrong.
We have to see and “click” on the quadrant in which the situation seems to be in
(“it seems to me that my situation is in this quadrant”) using basically Listening,
since Listening is the bridge between linear logic and circular logic. We have to
understand linear logic (the armed problem) and circular logic (from where the
real issue is armed, where that problem is not only in the situation, but if there is
no situation where it is armed we have no where to detect it). It is like in the
method of medicine, a drop of blood is taken from a patient; The problem that is
seen is not in the drop of blood, it is in the patient, but the linearity of putting that
in the microscope is needed to be able to see inside, what is wrong with the
patient. The “drop of blood” is the situation (what we want to achieve, the result,
the problem we create, etc.) and the “microscope” is the Listening (according to
the Egyptians, the Eye of Horus was an ear) in which “We see” what the whole
body, the whole reality, is infected with. When we detect in the situation (the
drop of blood) the virus, the disease, through Listening, and believing that we
are injecting healthy blood into our future, we “say” our purpose, objective,
project (“I want to be able to start my business of…”), there in the drop of blood
is where we detect the infection; then we go to circular time for which Listening
is the bridge: we go to the Peirce Diagram to see in Peircian key which of all the
7 logics most clearly describes the situation. In the example: “I want to be able
to start my business…”, we read that there is “infection”, there is a disease: it
will start the business and there it will stop; Now we go to circular time, for
which Listening is the bridge, because the question arises that after having
fished the problem, how do we fish it in the Peirce Diagram; The way is that, in
the Pierce Diagram itself, we have to ask ourselves which of the 7 logics of the
Peircian quadrant most clearly describes that situation? In this example of the
person who says "I want to be able to start my business" the illness is that he is
going to start the business and nothing more, the Peircian diagnosis is that the
person in the example is imprisoned in the Quadrant of the Possible; Now we
need to anchor the situation in one of the phrases of the 7 logics of the
quadrant, which in this case would be "stop writing", because something
decides in the person that when he manages to "write the first 10 pages of the
book, he stops writing." That is, when he manages to get to the business, he
tells his future “I stop when I get to my business.” The question was not what
business do you want to do? But what do you want to achieve in the future?
And in the future, as far as his ego reaches, he stops writing to himself. We
have already made the Peircian diagnosis of the situation; From there we are
clear about several things. First, the most difficult thing is to “puncture” the
situation. Firstly, in the linear sense, we must understand that, to make the
diagnosis, we are going to go through the three times of Logic: Moment to See,
Time to Understand and Moment to Conclude; and that the diagnosis is the key
and depends on the reading we do.

Moment to See is to “puncture” the situation, then we require Time to


Understand and Moment to Conclude. Logic goes in three times: circular, linear,
timeless. Moment to See is to prick, for which we must see with the ear; the
Moment to See is punctual. Time to Understand is a period of time. Time to
Conclude is also more or less punctual. We can graph it in the following figure:
Time to Understand is essential, because the conclusions we draw about
where the cure is will depend purely and exclusively on having made the
diagnosis correctly. (02:12:20)
