Importance of the Third factor


Introduction

I would like to express right from the beginning of this post that the third factor is crucially important, and this is only really known to those who are honestly working in the third factor. Those who are not working in the third factor ignore this.

There are many people who study Gnosis but who only work in the first two factors which are: mystical death and transmutation (the three factors as taught by V.M Samael Aun Weor for the revolution of the consciousness are: Death (dissolution of the ego), Birth (transmutation) and sacrifice for humanity (spiritually helping and teaching our fellowmen).

Working in the first two factors is tremendous and allows one to greatly advance in their spiritual development, however one could advance much faster and overcome obstacles much easier if they were working in the third factor. Though most importantly working in the third factor is to do what the Saviour (redeemer, Christ, Vishnu, Second Logos, Absolute) of the worlds has done. We will explain this point later on in the post.

Which Factor of the Three Pays the Most?

That is a good question and one which I have wondered about many times. Well the answer is a little varied. I heard from my instructor that a Gnostic Master after an investigation into which factor pays one the most said that the first factor: death is the one that pays the most. However I have heard from my very own instructor that it has been the third factor that has kept him standing all this time and without it, he probably would have been flattened by the weight of his own karma.

I have also heard from another currently very famous Gnostic missionary in one of his video publications that the third factor has been for him the most important factor. Why? Because, according to his own experience it allowed him to gain the merits to pay for his progress in the first and second factors. He also commented that his efforts in the third factor were the ones that saved his life on several occasions. My instructor also told me that Master Samael said to the newly graduated missionaries in Guadalajara, Mexico (1976) of which he was one of them, that with the third factor, one comes to pays all his karma.

So in conclusion, we can see that the third factor is at least crucial, it may be the one the helps us the most but the synthesis of all of this is that it combined with the first factors is the complete combination, the complete set that gives one all that is needed to progress towards and pass the milestones of the path.

Work in the Three factors in Equilibrium

The best way to work in three factors is to work in them with equilibrium or in other words in balance. To work in the third factor only is good but the quality of the third factor will suffer as death and transmutation is needed to enrich, fortify and renew the third factor.

To work only in transmutation is good for a while but death is needed and the third factor is needed to pay for the awakening of the kundalini etc., the merits of the heart that the kundalini needs are won in the first factor and in the third factor.

Working only in the first factor may be the best factor to choose to work in, if you have to choose just one that is. Though after a while, it will get very difficult, because there won’t be the help coming from the second factor and the third factor. Besides, it is a waste really, all that light that we get from the first factor is good for us but better if it is taught to others so to help them, and all that love and wisdom that is freed with the first factor can become corrupted or selfish after a while, because it is not expressed, that is, it is not used to help humanity with. Anyway love will move the person to help humanity. So a person who works honestly and sincerely in the first factor will go to work in the third factor because of the love that he or she is generating will move him or her the work in the third factor and of course will be less and less psychological obstacle to stop the person.

Third factor is Special

On a concluding note now, the third factor is indeed very special. Why? Because it is to emulate the saviour that the Absolute has always sent to rescue by means of great sacrifice His essences. The Absolute the Father (and also Mother) of All of Creation has always sent His Son to save, to redeem and bring the many essences (divine sparks like Him) back into unity with Him. He does it in such a way that each Monad and essence that unites with Him is fully conscious of the process and is free from all karma, pain and suffering.

The person who teaches sacrifices him or herself to so to fight for the return of other essences back to unity with Him. This is what His Son does for All creation. So the person who works in the third factor is one who works as a Helper of the Saviour and is always rewarded by the great Father – the Absolute. This may be a lot to say but the person who works in all the three factors one day incarnates the Saviour (The Intimate Christ and later the Cosmic Christ - Chochmah) and so he or she becomes one with him and He saves the person from inside.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
