What to do After Making a Mistake? (137)

Introduction

There are several answers to this question, and each answer depends from what perspective you are looking at it from. In this post we are going to answer this question from the Gnostic point of view.


After a Mistake

From the Gnostic perspective or esoteric spiritual perspective, after we have made a mistake the best thing to do is to act quickly in the following directions:


First Thing To Do

Recognise that we made a mistake. Become fully aware of the gravity of the mistake. Know why and how we made the mistake. Know what ego lead you to make that mistake.


Second Thing To Do

Take full responsibility for the mistake. Be fully willing to pay the consequences, i.e. the karma.


Third Thing To Do

Beg pardon from the Divine Mother.


Fourth Thing To Do

Do a very strong petition with the Divinities from the Tribunal of the Divine Law (Lords of Karma), begging them for a chance to dissolve the ego that caused the mistake and beg them for the chance to wash away the mistake and show them that you take full responsibility, and that you do not want to make that mistake again. Express your gratitude!

Beg them also that you may get back to where you were before the mistake.


Fourth Thing To Do

Get up and fight to dissolve the cause of the mistake.


Fifth Thing To Do

Fight even harder to get back to where you were before you made the mistake.


Sixth Thing To Do

Resolve with full determination to never to make that mistake again. That is resolve yourself to die. Renounce the defect or egos that lead you to make that mistake. Understand that that ego is wrong.

You have a marvellous opportunity here to understand how the ego is wrong and that it should die.


Seventh Thing To Do

Die in that ego at least up to the point that you have enough will, comprehension and light in you to send the ego that caused the error far away from your human machine when it comes next.


Conclusion

The key here is to repent and to act quickly! Our beloved Master Samael Aun Weor said in his book “Yes There is Hell, a Devil and Karma” that the door of repentance is always open and there is much more joy amongst the masters of the white lodge when a sinner repents than when does a saint.

Just don’t forget that, and just don’t stop fighting! Don’t get down and go over why you did it and how you shouldn’t have, forget that, get up and die mystically, change, that is really the best medicine. Because this way you are going toward your Being, when you are crying over how it could have been different you are still far from the Being!

Give these steps a try they really help you! The best remedy of course is not to make mistakes!


End (137).

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...
