We Have a Relative Degree of Everything - (5843)

We think we have some quality and one group of others may think we don't, while another group may say we have a lot of it. In the end we have a relative degree of it. 

We are not full and perfect in any quality and further more everyone will see that quality in us differently.

Some will see it as inferior, and some as superior and some won't even see it...

When we see that we are all relative, things losen up and our mind about ourselves and others opens. Becomming more flexible and understanding.

What is always the case, is that when we are immersed in relativity we natually look to find an absolute. Which in this context means to look inside of ourselves to find the Absolute about ourselves which is found in our Inner Being.

Well, even then Master Samael says we will find relativity there too, but at least it is much closer to the Absolute.

Dharma and Karma in Countries - (5840)

Psychological Atmosphere

The dharmic or karmic environment of a country really helps us to learn different qualities. 

Each country has a certain psychological environment, which is largely determined by the dhamric/karmic character of the country.

Within that psychological environment are many opportunities to develop qualities which maybe new for us. That is why we often have to remove ourselves from different environments and enter new ones to develop certain qualities.

We actually all do these often in life through different scenarios and circumstances, through different people and events.

Different Countries

As far as countries go, living in a different couintry allows us to see better the psychological environment of the new country and better understand the psychological atmosphere of the old country.

In South Africa, the psychological atmosphere is such that one can learn much about balance through several different areas and levels. 

Some of those areas are: equality of opportunity, management of resources, intellect and action, charity greed and fear, life priorities, compassion, community, God and survival... Some of those levels are the personal, the family, the social and the national.

All of this is possible in South Africa because of the karma and culture that the country has. 

South Africa is a place where you can open your heart. It in fact, forces you to. This is at first strange, how such a karmic environment can be good for spiritual development, yet it turns out that for some individuals it can be very good. When there are lacks there are opportunities to be filled with true values of the soul. 

Australia, is a very dharmic country in comparison to South Africa. That dharma allows certain qualities, yet hinders others, just as karma does. The dharma in Australia allows one to study spirituality yet the karma in Africa hinders it, because it is so difficult to devote to God when you and your family are so hungry.

The Dharma in Australia makes everyone ok and independent becasue of having money to look after themselves through professional services. This in time becomes a kind of selfishness. Because everyone has money, meaning there are less people in need to readily give to and everyone essentially has the means to look after themselves. Hence why many Aussies may not have spoken to their neighbours for years, all because we are all ok and charity plus community is not a pressing need. We can all look after ourselves. While in Africa due to the abounding poverty and consequent crime, charity and community are needed.

In the end, the atmosphere of Australia does not stimulate us to open our heart. Our heart can in fact stay however it is, because there is not that need for it to open and to reach out for meaningful and deeper connection, because the environement does not demand it and it is a voluntary choice. 

These are some differences, which are good to know so that we can take advantage of for our inner growth. Australia offers us the stability, time and finances to create a space to work on ourselves, while Africa offers us opportunities to open our heart, learn a lot about balance in many different levels and work on giving and fear.

Seeing Money as Energy Causes an Octave of Awakening and Change - (5838)

Interestingly money is really energy. As soon as we see it that way many things can change within us and within our life.

Money is energy and energy can also be seen as merit.

How do we all earn what we call money? By working, and what is working? It is really the use of our attention, energy, time and knowledge. Our knowledge is the result of having used our time, attention and time. It all comes back to energy.

As soon as we see money as energy we see that money will then obey the same laws as energy.

These laws are: energy can not be lost, energy can be transformed into other forms of energy, energy and matter are interchangebable and energy can be both stored and exchanged.

If we think a little, we will see that is exactly what can be done with money. We can save money, spend it and convert it to so many things. 

The thing we are all worried about though is losing money. But money can not really be lost because it is energy and energy is never lost. It may look as though it has been lost but it will come back to us as money or in a superior quality of worth.

What has happened to us along the way is that we see money as physical units that can be gained or lost and that these physical blocks obey physical finite laws. However money as energy means that money obeys other laws such as reciprocity, that sit above the laws of matter. Money obeys the laws of energy.

Truly how can we see money as physical units because the money we really have is just digits on a bank's computer screen and records, and lots of pieces of paper which really in themselves have no physical value.

The important thing is how understanding this changes and frees our mind, allowing us to give more and step oiur of greed and fear and develop trust in th ehigher laws which govern energy/money.

When we Meditate the Spiritual Beings of the Invisible Visit Us - (5842)

When we meditate is when teh masters come to visit us and stay withus for a while.

The more we can mediate teh more they will come and help us.

This makes sense, because when we meditate, we are the most open and receptive to their help, which mostly comes in the way of radiations from their presence, that enter us, and internally heal us.

End (5842).

Protect Joy - (5841)

To protect the joy we have in our life is really more important than we think. We only really realise how important it is when we lose it. 

The common expreience we all go through when we lose it, is that our life become bitter and we start to lose meaning and purpose.

We all have certain things that bring us joy, whatever they may be. These things we have to know and keep. 

The thing we can do with joy, is to keep it or to transform it or sublimate it if we find that a sublimated version of joy will serve our spiritual development more. The main thing is that we have to have joy in our life, in at least one area of our life. 

Of course the more areas of our life have joy in them the better.

This is a secret to maintian ourselves in Gnosis. Bring joy for some aspect of Gnosis and protect it, expand it and enjoy it. We can't ever allow the study of Gnosis to become bitter. It becomes just too hard to sustain. 

In summary, know your joy, your happy place, protect it, sublimate it if you like, never kill it.

End (5841).

Start to Walk into the Unknown - (5839)

The start to walk into the unknown believe it or not is to walk into the possibility of us being mistaken. That is holding mistaken beliefs, concepts and points of view.

If we take any situation no matter how small, and we decide to look into possibility of us being mistaken, that is us walking into the unknown.

We are 'righ't about everything, this we know but we don't know that we are wrong.

End (5839).

Perfectionism is Compensation - (5836)

An ideal enforced absolutely, in a relative and imperfect world breaks balance. Because it is impossible to secure an ideal perfectly in the physical world.

An ideal can be secured perfectly in a perfect world. For example, mathematical laws hold perfectly true in the abstract world of mathematics, however in the physical world new variables and constants creep into the equation.

Whenever there is an imabalance there is compensation. Perfectionism comes from some kind of inferiority. 

It is hard to find but it is there...

End (5836).

How Our Mistakes Through Repentance Become a Force of Love - (5835)

When we look back at some 'big' mistakes we have made and there is repentance in our heart the memory of that mistake creates consciousness that brings love.

That love carries us forward towards more conscious action.

The magic ingredient to turn our worst past misakes and actions into love is repentance.

Repentance has been taught to be a Christic factor. 

It just goes to show us how the Christic factor is marvellous in its single ability to make darkness work for the light in a way that is extraordinary, and this would not be possible if there was no darkness there previously, to be transformed into light.

Is light just light no matter where or how it comes about? Or is the light that has been trasnformed from darkness different and have something special to it? Who knows...

The paradox is that greater love is born from previous hurt transformed... To love deeply there has to be injury?

Annoyances at the Body's Nature - (5826)

It is a lack of our good will to express annoyance at another person because of the sounds they make when they eat or drink. 

Here are some observations about this situation:

We don't get annoyed at the sounds we make when we eat or drink. 

We tend to get more annoyed when others are eating and drinking and we are not.

We tend to get annoyed when others eat and drink quickly most especially when they are enjoying what they are eating and drinking.

We tend not to get annoyed when we have eaten and we have prepared the food the other person is eating and enjoying. 

These observations aid us to understand that the annoyance we feel is actually in a big part from the factor of selfishness in our psychology. 

It seems that when selfishness is pleased somehow we are ok, but when it itsn't we get annoyed.

The remedy here, is to feel happy that the other person is enjoying nourishing their body howevere they chose to.

Selfishness gets disturbed at others enjoying nourishing their body while we are not able to in that given moment. So if we tell ourselves: "no worries soon we will be eating too and drinking also". It is like we created that selfishness in times of great lack, hence explaining the intensity of the annoyance, where our survival instinct is being triggered.

A Person's Atmosphere - (5834)

A person's atmosphere is interesting, it holds lots of information about the person. It is there is plain site for anyone to read.

The useful thing is to be able to read it.

A person's atmosphere holds information about the person's level of being, what they have been thinking and feeling about as well as their immediate internal state.

A person's atmosphere is usually filled with the end result vibrational quality of what they have just been doing. Someone just coming from a musical concert will have that in their atmosphere, someone just coming from the hospital will have that in their atmosphere and so on and so on.

A person's atmosphere is what we can perceive if we look carefully at a person. From within a person's atmosphere we can see the person's presence of cogniscience and perceive the particular flavour of their psychology. 

It is a special kind of looking that is not physical but it is of a psychological and or conscious type. It is a type of perceiving that we need a bit of time to open when observing a person. The longer in a conversation we carefully and nuetrally place our attention on them, looking into their atmosphere, the more we can perceive.

Grounding, Presence, Meditation and the God's of the Earth - (5833)

Work with your element to get you started.

To start with familairity and affintity if available often leads to a easier and also a good start.

Each element has much to offer. We all have our affinities with the elements.

The Earth element is very helpful for meditation. As all the elements are. It is the earth element that may teach us the most to start with.

Being present is mostly related to being grounded, that is to the Earth.

It is difficult to focus in meditation if we are not grounded. When we are not grounded we are too easily overcome by the air element in our thoughts and the tendencey to float around amongst the winds of thought.

Establishing and maintianing a practice of presence or meditiation is very much related to the Earth element.

To learn more and draw more from any element we need to become one of the features of that element.

For exmaple to draw from the Earth element become a mountain. To draw from the water element become a lake. To draw from the air element become a cloud. To draw from the fire element become a flame.

The Gods of the Earth, Gob and Kitichi can help us just as Master Samael says. They can help us to become familiar and draw from the element of Earth. They can help us to delevelop the qualities that Earth has.

To be a mountain by first imagining a mountain and then bringing a mountain into us and becoming a mountain and finally meditating as a mountian we can see the trasncendenetal and useful qualities of Earth. 

Seeing those qualities we can then see what we lack. As soon as we can see what we can develop we have information to work with and ask help for to expand.

An Alchemical Couple Can Not Be Anything But Abundant - (5831)

By its very nature the sexual energy is abundance.

The sexual energy is creative power and it is the primordial base energy of all creation. This means that it partakes in everything and is the centre of everything.

Master Samael also says that the sexual centre is a centre of gravitation, meaning that many things will have the tendencey to gravitate around it. This tells us that it is magnetic, that it attracts and creates.

A couple working in the Alchemy firstly conserve their sexual energy, and secondly they fecundate it, giving it creative power. These two actions increase the potency and magnetic power of their sexual energy. The blending of their two energies in the practice of the Alchemy causes a creative multiplication that attracts and opens new possibilities and opportunities.  

A couple or an indiviudal working alchemically or hermetically with their energies can only bring abundance to their lives. The sexual energy that is potent seriously attracts abundance. Like attracts like. The Gnostic work with our sexual energy lifts our level of the Being and changes our life circumstances of a socio-economic type as well enriching us inwardly and spiritually.

Losing the sexual energy in the end impoverishes us, as the magnetic power of abundancne and creativity weakens and leaves us.

This information is very good for people who are experiencing difficulties of the socio-economic type. Couples or families and individuals who live in countries that are poor (like Africa) can change their life circumstances when they conserve and transmute their sexual energies.

End (5831).

Remembering the Being through the Head and Heart - (5832)

It's different to remember the Being through our head than through our heart.

Through the head we experience a spike of consciousness that says: "what am I doing here?" "Who am I?". Questions arise that are deep and probing and can make one feel very uneasy for a while.

Through the heart we experience the flash of renewed consciousness as a joy that says: "I am here in the world!". "I am present!". It is affirming and it makes one feel grateful, responsible and embracing of our life and our Being here in the world. We may feel courageous, expansive and loving.

The most intelligent way is to combine both head and heart together to receive the benefits of both centres which combining together produce something new. 

End (5832).

Old Notes on Will Power - (5830)

Not Will Power

Excuses, evasions and justifications are the opposites of will power.

The above things stop will power from developing.

If we work seriously on eliminating them we will strenghten our will power.

Evading responsibility is the biggest act of evasion.

Responsibility and consistency are also will power, as is discipline and persistence.

Will power is used 'to be' and 'to conquer'. What is not and what does not lead to conquering oursleves is not will power.

Ill-Will

The element of reinforcing ill-will is justification.

Ill-will needs the ego to manifest.

Good will needs the consciousness to express.

The awakened will uses the free consciousness.

If we have good-will it will draw the consciousness closer and closer.

When we align our centres with a virtue we are engaging a high part of our being that mulpties benefits for others.

Ill-will also multiplies the benefits for the egos.  

Clairvoyance is best used by not destroying people's ideas but helping and guiding them into manifesting that idea with and through the virtues of the soul.

When will touches memory it turns to ill-will.

When will contacts the consciousness it becomes ontological will.

Fear, anxiety and self-compassion stop us from implementing the ontological affirmative psychology.

The vehicle of the will is the word.

End (5830).

Anger Mostly Comes from Not Seeing - (5829)

Anger blinds and also produces memory loss.

Anger has the function of defending, protecting and correcting.

Anger is related a loss of vision.

When we get angry our ability to visualise disappears.

Because of a lack of vision, that is usually not being able to see what others are saying, we get angry. 

Often also not being able to see our own truths in a pressurised environment we can get angry. 

When we can't see a truth, or see the real reason for something, or see a defect we have or an error we are making, we get angry.

When we can't see the solution, a way out or a better way to do something we get angry. When we can't see an alternative to our desire or that letting go is better we get angry. 

To stop being angry we need clear, wide and deep vision. Getting angry ruins this vision and cultivating this vision weakens anger.
