Akash and Other Aspects

Akash and Ether

Blavatsky describes Akash as “the subtle, super sensuous spiritual essence which pervades all space; the primordial substance erroneously identified with Ether. But it is to Ether what Spirit is to Matter, or Atma to Kama-rupa.”

It is also known as the material element created from the astral world, it is also known as the soul of Ether which is the fifth element. After ether comes the physical elements of air, fire, water and earth. Ether in Gnosis is modified Akash. It is also known in Jainism as that which gives space. It is also known as the spirit of the four elements, whereas ether is the soul of the four elements.

Akash and Sound

An attribute of Akash is sound or Shabda in Sanskrit. As Blavatsky puts it Akash is “in fact the Universal space in which lies inherent the eternal Ideation of the Universe in its ever-changing aspects on the planes of matter and objectivity, and from which radiates the First Logos, or expressed thought. This is why it is stated in the Puranas that Akasa has but one attribute, namely sound, for sound is but the translated symbol of Logos –“Speech” in its mystic sense.”

Akash and the Memory of Nature

In Akash we can find the memory of nature as everything comes from Akash and returns to Akash and all that will happen is already present in Akash. For example, we can through the help of Akash see our future if we were to pursue a path of ethical thinking, feeling and conduct, or if we were to stray from that path. We can see both outcomes of the path we choose to follow.

In Akash are all the possibilities for the development of good or evil. Clairvoyants often have access to the world of Akash and there they can see people and nations unfolding their possibilities according to the line of conduct they are currently following.

In Akash is also our past, hence the Akashic archives of nature. Only what has made us or has been the place from where we have come, can rightfully be the one that has the memory of where we have come from, and as it is in us, only it, can have the knowledge of what we are doing and what we will become. When we think of who that could be that has those qualities, we can only think of one Being, our interior Divine Mother.

Akash becomes Ether and our Ether is our vital body and the vital body is the really the seat or foundation of our physical body. If there is no vital body there can be no life in the physical body. We already know in Gnosis that the Divine Mother is the one that has created our body and only she can do that because she is Akash and Akash become Ether which is our vital body.

Akash and Kundalini

Akash within us is the kundalini which is coiled around the base of the spinal column three and a half times. Akash is fire, the fire of the Divine Mother. So through the kundalini we can know what Akash is.

As in Akash there is the memory of nature and the future possibilities of nature, so to in our Divine Mother is our past of who and what we were and in her are also our future possibilities of what we can be.

Our Divine Mother is the root of our bones, flesh, organs, cells and vital body and she is the root of everything in us. So she has the authentic right to know everything about us, everything that we were and can be.

As Akash our Divine Mother is in our Muladhara chakra. She can convert herself also into the ether and become our etheric or vital body which the seat of our physical body. That is why it is our Divine Mother that is the one that has created us.

The Divine Mother really has to be Akash because being Akash she has the power to create and to destroy. As we know that the Divine Mother has that power of dissolution or death as well. That is the power of Akash and she has that power. That is why she is the one who can destroy the ego, the sexual force is like that also and in general whatever has the power to create also has the power to destroy or dissolve.

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...
