Student: The Being is not Real for Me – Part 2 (221)

Introduction

This post continues from post number 220, it contains a question and an answer. The questions were asked by a student who decided in the end to leave his Gnostic studies and the answers are from a Gnostic instructor.


Question 2 or Issue 2

I agree that behind me coming to and Gnosis finding me was my being, I don't have a clear or even a vague idea of what my thoughts or actions should be in regards to my being, but I do know that my karma is dictating every second of my life at present like my whole existence has been under that direction. I wait to see what next unfolds.


Answer 2

We are meant to care for your soul the same as we care for ours. Ultimately your soul, my soul, his soul, her soul are all one in the Absolute. About our relationship to the Being the point where I start at, is with gratitude, I thank my Being for giving me life, for all the things in my life that I feel happy about, and also all the things in my life that I am sad about, because they are opportunities to correct things and transform them into more happiness. The things in your life, like health, food, friends, family, house, city, the ability to go for a walk on Sunday morning and feel fine and refreshed are all of the Being. To enjoy the things of life comes from Him.

You know you are the Being already, the presence that you have in the world, in creation is the Being, you are being here, you are existing here, you are being, living, existing, present, so you are the Being, only that we have some part of Him (if we can call the Being Him, because He is really a source of life energy and consciousness) or it that is free (free essence) and other parts that are conditioned (egos) and we have to free those parts from there conditioning and then the Being will be 100% free to be the Being and we will be free to do as He wishes. We are the Being already only that some parts of Him are conditioned and limit Him and make us suffer. We first of all have to accept that, that we are Him and that it is not so sensational or exciting or such a big deal.

The truth is that we are all under Karma, however Karma has left a door slightly open for us to be able to found our way out. You know right now reading this email you have the door slightly open. It is hard to lift the roof of karma off from our heads but straight away but with consistent work on ourselves we can do it, bit by bit, we just need some time.

I don't think there is any other way to lift the karma off of ourselves, than by either working on ourselves, serving others or by feeling lots of pain and suffering.

Once again we care for you and your soul and we are here.


End (221).

    This is so beautiful. Why isn’t all of Gnosis treated with so much light and delicate care? Why do so many missionaries dictate what their students should eat, how much to sleep, which jobs are OK, which friends & romantic interests are OK? I can understand why people in Gnosis take their own life. Really, I can. We have had instructors here who once they learned what their students were enthusiastic about, what they enjoyed in life, devoted the classes to destroying those interests. Not strip clubs and bars either, but things related to family, pets, hobbies, exercise, and profession. Gnosis is beautiful and I don’t think it was ever meant to become a cult but when missionaries get so involved in the personal details of the lives of their students it feels so invasive, harsh, and heavy. I hope for a better future for the Gnostic people who are sincerely looking for the light of the path again.

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...
