Sacrifice

Definition

The best definition of sacrifice comes from Master Samael when he says that sacrifice is the conscious or clairvoyant choice of one good to superior to another. There is much that can be said about this. This blog is going to concentrate on examining sacrifice from the point of view of the psychological work.

In the Psychological Work

There comes a point in the work of the ego where we can become stagnated. There could be many reasons for this, however one of the main ones is that we don’t want to sacrifice the ego. We use the ego for to get or do something and over time we have become attached to using it and attached to what it gives us.

You know, we may need what it gives us, but usually when the ego gives something to us it does it harming or disadvantaging others or it gives something to us that is later a disservice to us.

We usually get stagnated because we don’t want to sacrifice the thing that the ego gives us or if the thing that the ego gives us is ok we don’t want to sacrifice the way the ego gives it to us because for example it may be a lot quicker than if we were to get it by more honest or decent means.

The Point of Sacrifice

The comes a point where we are not going anywhere in the dissolution of the ego and so we realise that we have to do something and that something usually means that we have to make a sacrifice.

Remember sacrifice is a conscious choice where we have to renounce or let go of the ego because we consciously know that with that ego we are not going anywhere. We have to sacrifice it in order to progress.

The best is when the consciousness really processes it. Then because it is the consciousness that decides it we have the will to do it and we progress.

Conclusion

We have to sacrifice something to get something superior. Please remember when we sacrifice something we get another thing and that if it is on the side of one’s essence or one’s esoteric or spiritual work one will be happier.

So don’t worry, don’t feel scared. Go ahead and do it!
