Gnostic Wisdom

I have found that to have a good in any arena or field of life, and that includes the Gnostic esoteric work, one of the most important factors to take into account, is the way in which we start the day. It is a surprise as to how important this really is. Anyhow, this post is dedicated to introduce to you to some of the factors that really matter when it comes whether you experience a positive edifying and useful day (a good day) or a miserable, tedious, painful day. Importance of a Good Start Start your day off well. If you are working towards a goal then get to the business of making that goal happen early in the morning before you have to go to work or start the morning’s chores. Why is this so important? Well, I’ll tell you. Starting the day off well that is working on fulfilling your goals boosts you morale. With a high morale coming from the day’s early morning triumph we have the stimulus that we need to keep pushing ourselves during the day to work toward achi...

Gnostic Perspective The way Kundalini is studied in Gnosis is from the perspective that every human being has within their own nature a particular aspect of the Divine Mother. Gnosis affirms that we all have an individual Divine Mother. This differs from the perspective of the Divine Feminine or God the Mother (as opposed to God the Father) that the religions present. They present the Divine or God the Mother in an external aspect as the Cosmic mother or as Mother Nature. Knowledge of the Individual Divine Mother – Esoteric Knowledge That knowledge of having a particular or individual Divine Mother corresponds to the initiatic or esoteric orders and or schools. Because only through Her can we enter the initiatic path. The knowledge of an individual/particular Divine Mother corresponds to an initiatic or esoteric knowledge. It is not common knowledge. It is actually a secret that now, is no longer a secret but in the past was certainly a very zealously kept secret. ...

Qualities of an Awakened Consciousness The are many qualities that can be assigned to an awakened consciousness, and one of them as we have learnt from our Gnostic classes is the awareness of cause and effect. We learnt that a person who is awakened or is awakening at one or another level will be before he or she acts aware of the effects that his or her action or actions will unfold. We were also taught that the awakened or awakening person is interested more in results than in effects.  Sleeping Consciousness and Cause & Effect Unfortunately the sleeping consciousness and the many “I’s” that we have are the ones that among so many other things are not aware of the cause and effect process and the results of our actions. By making ourselves aware of the possible cause and effect process before we act we are allowing our consciousness to intervene. That is something highly advantageous, as it may be powerful enough in that moment to displace any “I” or ego...

One or the Other? There are two factors in life, they are to be and to know. There are always two, we can at no point along the way omit one. They are ever present. We may embrace only one and reject the other one, even though we do that the one we reject is still there within us. In fact they are really dependent upon each other, they are co-dependent. Crux of the Matter The whole crux of the matter is how do we relate to these two aspects of our life. Do we just develop one of them or do we develop both or do we develop none of them. What we decide to do in a surprising way determines who and what we become in life. Which is Best? Both, Only One or None? We say in Gnosis that the best of the three options is to develop both of them, but in, or with balance. If we only develop one of them then we become very one sided or lob sided. For example if we just develop the Know we become a very wise and intellectual rascal, and on the other hand if we develop only the Be...

From the Gnostic point of view there is a link between the sickness known as Cancer and the ego. If we read a little about the disease called cancer we will discover that it is a disease that destroys the body’s cells. It is something malignant that operates from within our very body’s cells and destroys them. The ego is certainly like that. The “I” is in Our Cells The ego is something that is within our psyche and within our body and its cells also. The ego as you may know has a very genetic component. There are some egos that allow us to feel good and then there are other egos that make us to feel terrible and there are other egos that by their action and even presence in our human machine make us to feel ill. The egos that go against us such as fear, self-pity and self-compassion, anxiety, nervousness etc. are the ones that work against us and damage our body and its cells. If the ego is not worked on it will in time gain strength and spread its control over the body...

Repentance is something extraordinarily important when it comes to the question of dissolving the ego, or using other terms correcting our errors or dissolving the causes inside of us that make us to make all kinds of mistakes and errors or lead us to sin (to use the Christian terminology for errors). A State of Consciousness Repentance is a more than anything else a state of consciousness. It is one that appears in us for a short time only. When we feel repentance we are able to see with our consciousness the full gravity of our errors, or in other words we are able to see the harm and the error that is in the “I”. We may feel shame for having acted with this ego and shame or actually having this ego. When the consciousness is actively repenting there is light and profound comprehension of “I” or our errors. The consciousness produces a movement inside of one that moves us away from the “I” and can be powerful enough to allow produce in our consciousness and psychology the...

Revised 26/07/224 Introduction Much is said in the Gnostic studies about transmutation and sublimation. Those who study Gnosis know that sublimation is the main aim, or rather the pinnacle of what we can and should do with the sexual energy. We know that it is necessary to transmute the sexual energy and that by itself, is truly wonderful, it is something much better in all the senses then losing the sexual energy. But we know that what is better still, that of a higher octave than transmutation, is to be able to sublimate the sexual energy. This post gives one version of what the sublimation of the sexual energy is. Transmutation Transmutation in the general sense is essentially the transformation of one substance into another. However in Gnostic circles, transmutation is more commonly known in terms of the transformation of the raw sexual energy. Transmutation is the conscious act of transforming the raw sexual energy into a purer form of energy that is called ...
