Minor Mysteries - (345)

Introduction

For anything in life we have to create within in the right foundation to support the Endeavour. The minor mysteries serve as the work to create this foundation to do the rest of the path , well at the least the first mountain, and later the first mountain will serve as the stepping stone or foundation for eh second mountain and so on.

The foundation for the initiatic path is the Kundalini the flaming serpent, and love! So the minor mysteries prepare us to create the right conditions within ourselves for the Kundalini to one day awaken and rise in us and for love (love for the path, for the Being for mystical death etc.) to grow in us.


Nine Minor Initiations


There are 9 minor initiations. Usually Master Samael says that the candidate does not remember them and furthermore Master Samael did not say anything specific about what each of the nine minor initiations are about.


Particular is the Key

The reason why Master did not write anything about them is because they are very particular and vary for the individual. They depend exclusively on the weaknesses and strengths of the individual candidate. The tests and trials and learnings must be processed for each individual all with the same goal of making that particular person ready for the path.


Make One More Human

The role or goal of the minor mysteries is also to make one more human and for one to refine oneself and for one to loosen one’s egoical animal nature. In other words, to make one more human. At the core of this work is transmutation and the abandonment of fornication. This work of refining oneself and making oneself more human can not be done by not taking into account sexuality.


The Mud must Come Out

To be ready for the path or to be a success on the path all of one’s weaknesses must be known to him or her. All of one’s weaknesses must come out. This is so that one is going to be a success on the path. The Being and the Masters wish that each one of us is a success and so we must have the capacity to conquer all of our weaknesses before being able to walk the path for real.

We have to develop the keys within us to be able to defeat the strong egos that we have when they will come out later on in the path.


Tests of Loyalty and Silence

There are many tests they are basically to do with the factors that can make us fall and the factors that are great principles for eth work of the path. Loyalty and Silence are one of these principles or qualities that are needed for the path. Tenacity, perseverance is also needed. Consistency is also needed. There are tests to do with that.


Tests to do with Money

This is a very popular one. Money, sex and power are three factors that make on to fall. The minor mysteries have to test us in this aspect. On the path a lot of money can come to us and so what are we going to do with it. Just use it to become rich or to use it to enrich our work. We have to as a result of the minor mysteries develop our knowledge of what to do with money.


Tests to do with Sex

This is a huge area. With the wrong use of sex we can fail and fall miserably. We have to know how to control our sexual forces and have or harness the power, will and knowledge to be able to control and channel in the very difficult moments of our life.


Test to do with Pride or Mystical Ambition

Power this is another mine field. We have to be tested there. We power and pride our head can swell to grow to be so huge that we lose sight of the Being and end up rejecting and disobeying the Being and not doing the will of the Being. Hence we will fail on the path.


Conclusion

The minor initiations can take a long time to process but they are to set up in us the right ethical foundation to be ready for the path. So a lot of deep dark stuff has to come out if we have that within us. This stuff has to come out so that we can demonstrate that we can control it and that it won’t derail our path later on where we can not afford any errors, or errors so great as that.

End (345).

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...
