Tritocosmos – the Abyss Inside Man (149)

Tritocosmos

In the Gnostic study of the order of the cosmos the last order of creation is the tritocosmos or the inferior regions of nature, also called the abyss or the inferno or in Christian terms: Hell.


Orders of Worlds

According to Gnosis the worlds or levels of creation or the levels of the cosmos are organised into a series of worlds that overlap and have originally unfolded from within the Absolute.

So just taking up the level of creation of galaxies, our galaxy (the galaxy we belong to) which is the Milky Way, then there is the Solar System (Ors), then the planets, then the human being and then the tritocosmos which following the pattern of each world being inside the other (e.g. the planets inside the solar system and the solar system is inside the galaxy etc.), the tritocosmos is inside the human being.


Abyss or Atomic Infernos and the Inferior Regions of Planet Earth

This is true that we have an abyss inside of us and amazingly enough there is also a correlation with this inferno or tritocosmos inside us and the inferno or inferior region of the planet in which we belong to or are a part of – Earth.

This is because we are a part of the planet, we are an organ of the planet, and we are connected to it.


Psychological States and the Tritocosmos

The abyss is inside of ourselves and often our egos take us there through identification and we experience or live out of our own abyss and at the same time we are also connected to the abyss of the planet. So in some ways with ego identification we live here physically (our body) but psychologically we live in the abyss! Terrifying! That is why we do such crazy things at times.

The psychological states that we experience due to identification with one or another ego is the same that we can feel or experience in the abyss of the nature or the planet Earth.

So what Dante describe in the first part (“Inferno”) of his trilogy called the Divine Comedy are spot on. The suffering that the souls undergo and experience in the various regions of the abyss or inferno of the planet earth are what we experience in our own abyss when we get identified with the ego or egos that take us down there.


Conclusion

The only way to escape our own abyss and the abyss of nature is dissolve the elements that bring us down there or connect us to those two abysses.

To escape though we have to descend into our own abyss and the abyss of nature to take the light and wisdom from there and then use that light to dissolve the ego. The key is to know when to withdraw from the abyss, staying there to long is dangerous.


End (149).

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...
