Selfishness Selfishness is really a multi-faceted defect, and so this blog post is only going to concentrate on one of its facets, and this facet centres around one observation and this observation is that selfishness tends to increase when some hardship with other people is experienced. Why? This is quite easy to answer because selfishness is a mechanism of self-protection. It knows that being alone we are safe and no one can hurt us. Being with others we know that the danger is there, that we could get hurt once again while being in the presence of others, so naturally and logically we seek isolation. Selfishness then is a mechanism of compensation, it promises pleasure, projecting ideas of us being alone doing something that we can only really do alone and of course we are there enjoying it immensely. We project ideas of going for a long walk along the beach, reading as much as we like, meditating somewhere peaceful, watching movies, etc. etc. Animal in Nature ...

An Esoteric Link A very powerful and important link exists between the Guru and the disciple. This link as we have described in previous posts is of an esoteric type that certainly has very profound psychological and physical consequences. Between the Disciple & the Guru are the Monads We often when contemplating this link that exists see it has a link between two human beings only, but there is more to it than that. It really goes beyond the human realm. Such a link exists so that the essence of the disciple can be guided back to its Monad via the guidance, advice, support, teaching and help of the Guru. Really he Guru is serving the Monad of the disciple, and in many ways the Monad surrenders His essence and realization into the hands of the Guru. We commonly think that the link is just between the disciple or student to the personality of the Guru but that is not it, it is a link between the disciple and the Monad of the Guru. So Master Samael said that he was the...

Foundation of All Links All the links or connections that we have, have as their foundation psychological elements. Even the esoteric links have a psychological foundation or element to them, and this is the point of departure, in other words the point from where we can begin to work in order to create, strengthen and or dissolve links if necessary. One of the main elements of a link is trust. We trust that this link will server us well and bring us some benefit. In every link accompanying it in our psychology is some kind of need, some kind of benefit and some kind of an alignment with a common purpose. How to Create a Link with the Masters of the White Lodge The best links to create as I have mentioned earlier, are those with the Masters of the White Lodge. They are the links that protect, guide and in general help us the most, spiritually. So when it comes to creating a link with them the best way to do it is show your interest in them by invoking them ...

Why There is something called the Parlock duty of the Being. It is essentially the cosmic duty or task assigned to each one of our particular Monads or Divine Beings.  The Parlock duty of the Being can be summarised as being the task of our particular Being to realise himself. It is a cosmic duty that is the will of the Absolute and it is also one that has extraordinary and serious human ramifications. The major part of the Parlock duty resides in the transmutation of the sexual or creative energy. The transmutation of the energy is an act of inner creation. The energy that we transform goes into our interior universe to create, principally to create the superior existential bodies of the Being. That is the astral, mental and causal bodies. With these bodies created, and later purified and made into gold by the transmutation of the sexual energy the Being inside of us has completed His creation or the creation of our inner universe. This we say in...
