- Esta edición es única;- La traducción es completamente original y se realizó para el Ale. Mar. SAS;- Todos los derechos reservados.Para entender el concepto con el que el sexo es considerado por el filosofo esoterico, debemos recordar que el mundo conocido por el es siete veces mas complejo que el conocido por el filosofo exoterico. Para el primero, en efecto, el mundo fisico no es mas que uno de los siete planos de manifestacion y los fenomenos fisicos que conocemos como sensualidad no son mas que un aspecto de una fuerza que actua en los siete planos de manifestacion. Ademas, la ciencia esoterica ya esta reconociendo que el sexo tambien tiene un aspecto emocional ademas del fisico. La Ciencia Exoterica afirma, sin embargo, que ademas de los habitualmente reconocidos, existen tambien, aspectos mentales y espirituales y que la sexualidad se manifiesta de forma diferente en cada plano, funcionando segun las Leyes de ese plano. El estudioso del esoterismo no utiliza la palabra "sexo" como nosotros, sino que emplea la palabra "fuerza vital", que concibe como una energia vibratoria radiante y magnetica, similar a la electricidad. La fuerza vital es una fuerza que debemos considerar sagrada. El individuo a traves del cual se manifiesta esta fuerza debe, por tanto, considerarla como un almacen sagrado, que le corresponde administrar, segun los propositos de la propia Vida divina. Esta fuerza vital es la que mantiene todo lo existente, preservando las fuerzas vivas de las fuerzas desintegradoras que tienden constantemente a devolver toda sustancia especializada a su condicion primitiva. La primera funcion de la fuerza vital es precisamente mantener lo que tiene forma en la manifestacion y mantenerlo en el nivel alcanzado a traves de la evolucion; se conoce como "Preservar la vida" y se concibe como una unidad. Sin embargo, tambien tiene una segunda tarea: la creacion de nuevas formas y, para ello, debe funcionar en polaridad como una dualidad, con un aspecto positivo y otro negativo. Y es a esta fase de la actividad vital a la que se refiere el concepto esoterico de sexo. Para el mantenimiento de la vida, una fuerza es suficiente, pero para cualquier forma de creacion se necesitan dos fuerzas, una de las cuales tiende a expandirse hasta alcanzar un estado de equilibrio, mientras que la otra es inerte, potencial y espera un estimulo. Esta ultima seria la forma femenina, mientras que la primera, que seria la fuerza masculina, puede compararse con la chispa electrica que libera la energia latente de la forma femenina. El estudioso esoterico llama a estas dos fuerzas: positiva y negativa, masculina y femenina. La fuerza positiva, o masculina, es el estimulo; la fuerza negativa, o femenina, por medio de su energia latente, realiza el trabajo real de la creacion bajo la influencia del estimulo masculino, volviendose inmediatamente impotente de nuevo cuando el impulso de ese estimulo cesa. Siempre que se produce esta accion y reaccion, ya sea en el ambito mineral o en el mundo del pensamiento.

La Missa Palatina es una de las obras más populares entre las treinta y siete misas polifónicas conservadas en el Archivo Musical de Chiquitos y fue objeto en su época de numerosas ejecuciones en Bolivia y varios paises de America y Europa. Esta obra, al lado de las seis misas de Giovanni Batista Bassani, testimonia la cumbre del desarrollo de la musica barroca en lo que fueron las reducciones jesuiticas ente los indios chiquitos en Bolivia. No se conoce su origen, aunque estilisticamente la composicion revela semejanzas con obras del comienzo del siglo XVIII que circulaban por Italia.La Missa Palatina esta escrita para cuatro voces, dos violines, un instrumento agudo (posiblemente trompa marina) y bajo continuo. No obstante, la ampliacion de la orquesta añadiendo mas violines, flauta, oboe y fagot, asi como tiorba, que doblan o intercambian las partes de violines y de bajo continuo, es admisible y hasta deseable.
