Symptoms of a Fallen Bodhisattva - (540)

Introduction

We have all heard of the case of the fallen bodhisattva. We have probably hoped that we are one. It is possible to find out and this is what this post is all about.

Ways to Find Out

There are really two parts to finding out that we are a fallen bodhisattva.

First Part

The first part is where we are told either physically or internally or learn by some kind of revelation that we are a fallen bodhisattva. At this point we can accept that we are or we can forget about it. However, there is still the another part in finding out, which in many ways is really about confirming what was discovered here in the first part.

Second Part

The second part of finding out is to confirm or verify here in the psychological and physical realms, what has come to light in the first part. The end result is knowing that we are a fallen bodhisattva in all three realities, that is the esoteric, the psychological and physical. Knowing this is all three realities is complete knowledge and full awareness of this aspect of ourselves.

Characteristics and Criteria in the Three Realities

This post will address the characteristics and criteria that one can reference oneself against to get an idea of where one stands in relation to that of being a fallen bodhisattva.

Esoteric Reality Characteristics and Criteria

Here below are some of the characteristics and criteria of a fallen bodhisattva in the esoteric side of things.

Solar Bodies

The fallen bodhisattva possesses at least the astral, mental and causal bodies. A fallen bodhisattva could also possess the Buddhic and Atmic bodies and even the four Kayas, as Master Samael did. A Bodhisattva of this category, that is one who possesses the Kayas is called a Dyhanni Bodhisattva. Which is also someone who attained the status of Galactic Man.

So if you are told or you know that you have the bodies then obviously you are a fallen bodhisattva. But it is still however good to read on and verify more of the characteristics of a fallen bodhisattva to become more aware of the condition of the fallen bodhisattva.

Karma

The fallen bodhisattva has more karma usually than the ordinary person. Especially the kind of karma called Katancy. Even the Being has karma because He in some way fell too. A part of him fell, and He is no longer compete in the light.

The fallen bodhisattva falls into incurring three types of karma: karma for killing the interior Buddha, karma for betraying the white lodge and karma for minor crimes that a fallen bodhisattva once fallen or in the process of falling commits.

This could mean that a fallen bodhisattva suffers a lot, meaning there is a lot of suffering in the life of a fallen bodhisattwa. 

They feel a special spiritual kind of suffering because the yearning to reach the Being once again is strong, yet because of karma there are many obstacles and delays and more delays that have to be paid before the fallen bodhisattva can conquer once again was lost.

Some Powers or Remembrance of Powers

A fallen bodhisattva usually has some kind of powers. A freshly fallen one will have up to Master Samael says two thirds of his or her powers intact. Though the common fallen bodhisattva has most of his or her powers completely dashed over time. Though mind you, even if a fallen bodhisattva has no powers that they know of, the fallen bodhisattva will still have something, which could be: a good bit of intuition, some clairvoyance, astral travel ability, ability to meditate naturally, a great familiarity with esotericism, flashes of remembrance of past lives or very old esoteric knowledge, a special kind of deep understanding regarding life, people and spirituality, instinctive knowing about white and black, a tendency to towards magic, a strong will power, an ardent love to help/serve humanity, even true/actual esoteric knowledge, magnetism and charisma etc., ability to control or at least influence circumstances etc.

Mixture of the Two Forces

A fallen bodhisattva has tremendous fights within, because within his or her constitution are the two forces, one black is of the ego and one white, which is of the soul and the bodies and the Being.

The fallen bodhisattva is really divided, there are the two forces pulling at him or her. That is why the fallen bodhisattva can at times do wonderful things then at other times do terrible things, all because of there being the two forces within, and both forces being equally as strong. Basically a fallen bodhisattva is a Hanasmussen that has a double centre of gravity.

Golden Embryo

The fallen bodhisattva has the golden embryo, which was created in past lives. The fallen bodhisattva has the golden embryo rather than just plain old essence. However, the golden embryo is scattered amongst the different egos. Principally the golden embryo is inside the P.P.P (Principal Psychological Profile) of the fallen bodhisattva.

Has to Die More than Anything Else

The main thing that a fallen bodhisattva logically has to do is to die or work psychologically on him or herself. Especially on the P.P.P because that is where the golden embryo is. Freeing the golden embryo will help the fallen bodhisattva immensely because a great quantity of consciousness will return to the fallen bodhisattva and that will help him/her to understand the other egos and isolate the other egos helping the fallen bodhisattva to awaken further.

Psychological Reality Characteristics and Criteria

Here below are some of the characteristics and criteria of a fallen bodhisattva in the psychological side of things.

Mixture of the Two Forces

As mentioned before, the fallen bodhisattva psychologically has two sides, one black and one white. So the fallen bodhisattva can express them both in a very marked way. Sometimes in a very contradictory manner. A fallen bodhisattva will be able to notice a great love inside for the Being and esotericism, and also at times a strange rejection towards the Being and karma and also a great desire to jump into materialism and excel in the endeavours of materialism.

These forces clash inside the bodhisattva producing very negative states and often intense crises.

Yearning and Rejection

The fallen bodhisattva has an immense yearning to enter the light once again, to feel whole in the Being to conquer what one has lost, yet there is the strong rejection towards the Being and esotericism because of the suffering produced by the previous failure. Even the yearning can be mixed with the P.P.P of Pride, yearning to get the light to be better. Of course this also must die.

The fallen bodhisattva may express the yearning one instant then the rejection in the next.

Strong Pride

The fallen bodhisattva has usually a disgustingly strong pride that is strong in the intellectual and mystical fields. They often like to lead and take control. They often clash with others, all owing to this pride.

The worst thing though is that this Pride separates them from their Being, they feel to be a power in and by themselves, different and that makes them disobedient to their own inner Being. This pride does not allow them to do the will of their Father. They resist the union with the Being, and they are very rebellious often and hate authority, even the Gnostic Hierarchy type of authority. They always like to rebel and be different and to ‘buck the system’ as it is said.

Strong Skepticism

Because before when they were raised they knew and had great faith in their Being they have now lost that and the opposite replaces the void that once faith and knowledge filled. So they can have a strong distrust towards the Law, the Being and Life and they can be very skeptical.

Resentment Towards God

They because of the pain of the fall, resent God, because they feel deep down that God, their inner Being should not have let them fall. And now working on themselves they suffer dissolving their egos and paying their Karma and they know that it is for their Being, so they resent that they have to suffer for the Being who is there all happy and free. Well we know that He, the Being is not all that free and happy when we are fallen. We are a heavy burden for Him.

Strong Lust

Usually they have a strong lust, because it was the instrument of their fall. They can have the type of lust that is irrational, which makes sense because to have fallen is to cast aside all reason. To choose suffering over bliss in the Being, one really had to be crazy in lust or rebellion or pain or something else.

Strong Fear

They usually have a strong fear because of their great karma. They are fearful because they know they have karma and they feel that because of that karma, punishment could come at any time and that karma could stop them from uniting with their inner Being once again.

Do not Submit to Guidance

They are so rebellious and proud that they always go by themselves and usually never work in conjunction with anybody else or under anybody else. There are exceptions though, these exceptions are smarter in that they know that being rebellious is not helping themselves in any way to dissolve their pride.

Physical Reality Characteristics and Criteria

Here below are some of the characteristics and criteria of a fallen bodhisattva in the physical side of things.

Problematic

They are very problematic. If you see a fallen bodhisattva keep your distance, they will get you into trouble of some sort. Reprimands are sure to follow. They are usually always involved in some sort of problems arising from disobedience or doing this outside of the official channels and upsetting the ‘apple cart’. Also their large amount of karma gets them involved in circumstances that are very problematic and complicated.

Expression of the Ray

A fallen bodhisattva has to express his or her ray. So even if they are not working for their self-realisation they will be physically working in the field of their ray fighting for a cause which has to do with the liberation, justice, education, equality, awareness, knowledge of their fellow man.

Usually when a fallen bodhisattva enters the domain of the work on him or herself they leave the physical expression of their ray and enter the spiritual expression and teach or fight for humanity through the spiritual aspect of that ray.

For example, Master Samael was asked, ‘where would he be if he was not working on himself or had not gotten his self-realisation?’. He answered along the lines of: ‘in the mountains with a rifle fighting for liberation of men’.

Another example, a fallen bodhisattva of the ray of the Law may stop being a lawyer, social worker, politician, rights activist etc. and work on him or herself and teach the mysteries of the Law and bring down to men the mysteries and impulses and mandates of the Divine Law.

Gnosis and the Fallen Bodhisattvas

It has been said that Gnosis is really now only for the fallen bodhisattvas. So following this logic if we are in Gnosis, we have a good chance that we are a fallen bodhisattva. In some, there is not much time left and only really a fallen bodhisattva can grasp the knowledge quickly and then raise to the heights of the Being within him or herself.

Point of Rupture

There my missionary told me, in the life of any fallen bodhisattva is a magical and ominous moment or point of rupture. Yes that is right rupture not rapture. Where the fallen bodhisattva must either take off or go down because the clash of those two opposite forces is damaging the person and that clash or friction can not be withstood (it harms and hurts) for any longer. Something has to be done, fly up or drop down.

Conclusion

Your Conclusion

So are you one or not? If you are, the most important thing that you need to do is TO DIE! Die in your P.P.P. If want some information about the P.P.P check out these links:

Don’t Feel Proud

No reason really to feel proud, because a fallen bodhisattva failed and has a lot of work to do, not to mention a lot of karma yet to pay.

A fallen bodhisattva betrayed the white lodge and assassinated the inner Buddha.

Plus it was a very long time ago, and if a fallen bodhisattva does NOT work he or she will still go to the abyss and will stay there even longer than the normal person, paradoxically longer that the person that a fallen bodhisattva could feel superior to.

Love is More than Having it Returned to You - (539)

Disclaimer

I have written this post out of my own experience and struggle with the very difficult thoughts and emotions that such situations provoke in oneself. I hope what I have understood and have consequently written here will be of some use to you.

The Situation

We can get angry and upset when we give love to another person in the form of saying: “I love you”, “thank you very much”, “see you soon”, “you mean a lot to me”, a hug, a kiss, a hand shake, a touch on the shoulder, a smile and so on, and alas what we have expressed is not returned to us.

Well, this simple thing can be very upsetting, we can feel inside of ourselves very disappointed, very worried, angry, betrayed, a loss of control, used, humiliated, stupid and even go so far to aggressively demand 'our love' to be returned.

What I am going to do in the next few paragraphs is to address each reaction. Though before I do that, I am going to give you an understanding that has helped me a lot in particular.

An Understanding - Remedy

Basically our reactions stem from the many concepts that we have, and all those concepts are basically centred around us believing that love is that, which must be returned by the other and not returning our love means that there is no or less love for me and that I can not no longer control the love in the relationship and it could get less and less and then there would be no love left for me. Really in truth love is greater and beyond those beliefs. It is not those beliefs and does not fall into the parameters of those beliefs. We can not control love and we can not limit love. It is like a drop of the liquid metal mercury, where as soon as you try to hold it, it disperses in your hand escaping from your grasp.

We can love animals better because we don’t have this concept with them. We never feel upset when we give them love and they don’t return it. Because we know that they can’t return it and we just feel happy and fully satisfied to hug our dog or cat and that is it. We are just happy that we can do it. We don’t feel like that with human beings though. So really the problem is the concept that love is there to be returned.

To get our minds free of that concept we have to see for ourselves that love is not that, it is greater and it is the big picture. It is not confined only to that having our love returned. Love is freedom and it does not control the other or trap the other in the returning game. The one we love may get sick of us demanding to have our love returned, they may say “I love you, don’t you trust me, do I always have to tell you or show you!”. You know people can return love mechanically, and that would be a mistake of us to think that they love us because they return our love. 

The Angry Reaction

Some of these reactions especially the angry and violent ones are aimed at forcing the person to feel bad about not returning our gesture of love and therefore out of feeling bad they give us the love that we wanted. So it is a way to control the other person and in a way it is to emotionally blackmail them.

Let me tell you from experience that is not love, love is more found in letting the person be, trusting in them and transmuting the lack of love that we feel or the love we wanted by giving ourselves the love that we want, love your Being inside you and mentalise (speak to yourself) that you are worthy of love, you have done this and that good and you are worthy of love, and feel a love for your Being inside you, then you have love inside you. Love always comes from inside us anyway.

The Worried or Anxious Reaction

This reaction is due to the lack of trust and further thoughts such as “the love is dying or getting weaker”. See the big picture and examine all the facts where the other person has showed or shows every day through facts that they love you and trust in them and trust in yourself that you indeed do love them and if there is love it will always come to you. Trust in love. Love will sort itself out to love you. And if it doesn’t love is showing you that you should be with someone else that does love you. Love always comes back to you in one way or the other, showing you that the person loves you or that to be loved or to find love you need to look elsewhere.

The Disappointed and Betrayed Reaction

We feel this way because we holding onto the concept that there is a unsigned, unspoken agreement between you and the other person that we are meant to love each other and that love means that when I say “I love you” you return it. This is an unconscious concept or agreement. We never speak this out to the other person or make them sign it. So when we hold this belief and the other does not return our love we feel betrayed, let down, disappointed that they did not hold up their side of the pact, agreement, contract etc. When in reality no such agreement exists! 

The Used, Humiliated and Stupid Feeling Reaction

When we give love and we are left with a silent response we can feel stupid and humiliated. We put ourselves out there and we were not accepted. We feel stupid because we think that we were silly because we couldn’t see that the other person does not feel the same way. We could also feel rejected and we could also feel that we are not below the other person and because we are not below them they can not and have not the right to not return our love. We think "how dare they!".

When we feel like this, it is a sign that there is a lot of Pride in the relationship. If we can accept reality that our love was not accepted we just have to quickly return to normal, stay calm and patiently wait the few seconds for the event to wash over and pass on. Just wait and watch as the event flows onto something else. Go with that flow. Check with yourself if you did something wrong, that is crossed a line. If you see that you did. Just apologise at the right moment. When the event washes over our dignity is restored again. The most important point is not to do something or say something that will drop your standing or dignity, if you do this you will feel much worse.

Sometimes too we feel that we gave too much, that we did not judge the situation or the person correctly and we crossed a line too early or not in the right situation, and for that reason we feel stupid.

The Loss of Control, Demanding and Violent Reaction

We don’t get to this type of reaction intentionally and that actually builds up. We may start out feeling actually rather understanding, forgiving and tolerant and after a while we can slowly start to develop this reaction. It can become so acute that with the slightest rejection we can get very angry.

When we think to ourselves how much we have given and invested and the other does not see this because they do not return our love we get angry. We can think that we deserve it. But love does not always obey our personal lack of love or egotistical whims. That I feel is important to truly and deeply understand. Master Samael says love is fed with love, when we give love with love, we sincerely don’t mind if it returns and mostly it does get returned. If we act with something disguised as love it won’t fed love, only love feeds love.

Let go is the remedy, when we are controlling your perception of love existing in the relationship by saying “I love you “ and having it returned. You know the other can be very smart and just be saying that and not feeling that and then leave you the next day by surprise. Let love show you, let love fed itself and let love fix the relationship. When you don’t think about love and it suddenly surges inside you and you want to say something or do something then good, the chances are that it is genuine love. But just do a quick check over it, just in case. When you think about it and plan it, that is not love – don’t deceive yourself there. The mind is the slayer of love says H.P.B.

Conclusion

I think the best is to be practical and to change our way of thinking. Because this is quite painful stuff! So I reckon, find out which is your reaction type and go and work on those concepts and their remedy, in which I have included some in the post (they may help or may not). If not just write a comment on the bottom of the post and I will update the post.

All I hope is that this post can help bring you peace, if you suffer in this way.

A Prayer

Oh my Divine Mother, help me to overcome these concepts, help me to understand love and help me to love. Help me to trust love, of which you are the trunk, and bud. Love is from you. Teach me My Divine Mother and with that understanding help me to dissolve those concepts and set me free to love as you do!

When Feeling Self-Conscious - (538)

Turn it Around

When we feel what we commonly call self-conscious, which is not self-conscious state that we know in Gnosis as the third state of consciousness, but rather the awkward, uncomfortable feelings when we enter a room full of strangers or we are about to give a presentation, or we’re there on a stage standing in front of people, or we are in a meeting where we know there are people there that are not really happy with us.

When we feel self-conscious, the best way out of it is to turn it around, that is to feel fine or comfortable with yourself. Why, I’ll explain.

Why

When we are self-conscious it is because we are looking for acceptance or reassurance for ourselves from others. That is impossible to have so as we can’t forget about it and we need it to feel happy we have to give it to ourselves.

When we get reassurance from others we actually get the impression from others then with that impression we actually give the assurance to ourselves, so ultimately it comes from ourselves. There are occasions when we get praise and assurance from others but we don’t believe or don’t care about it and we still feel awful about ourselves. This is because we refuse to give it to ourselves.

When we are self-conscous we have our attention on ourselves though from the perspective of us imagining what others could be thinking and feeling about us. We have to turn that around and put the attention on ourselves rom ourselves and the best way to do that, is to feel kind towards ourselves. To think that you have a Being inside you, there inside you is an essence and that is wonderful and Divine and inside that essence is a marvellous quanta of consciousness.

Apply

Applying this will help us out in so many social occasions of life. Apply feeling comfortable with yourself or feeling at peace with yourself. Tell yourself that you are worthy to be here, to feel at peace. If you find it hard You will see when you do it that you become natural, your mind will stop worrying and playing the trying to act normal game and then all your facial features and gestures will become entirely natural again. A relief – thank God now we can go into social events feeling at ease and no uneasiness beforehand because we know how to put ourselves at ease.

Conclusion

The key resides in inverting what we feel when we are self-conscious, because the heart of feeling self-conscious is to feel that others are uncomfortable with us. But really we are uncomfortable with ourselves being there. So the solution is to leave or either be comfortable with yourself inside yourself with you being there. It is the exact same thing as when we judge others but in reality we are what we are seeing or judging in others.

Notes on Fear - (537)

Introduction

These are some notes taken during a class, so they are not my observation and understanding but my missionary’s.

Indication

It is important while working on fear to keep ourselves away from people, activities, events, movies, articles, conversations etc. generate impressions that cause or provoke fear.

General

Fear is the ego of 'countless possibilities'. It is also the ego of 'but' and 'if'.

It is the ego of finding a thousand seasons not to do what we are scared of. We need to find a ay to confront each and every one of those excuses.

We must avoid the impressions that keep alive all the excuses and reasons of fear.

We have to know the impressions that affect our fear. We have to know the thoughts and especially the type of fantasies that affect our fear.

Confronting the Impressions of Fear

We have to end up either confronting those impressions, or either wisely avoiding those impressions. Not avoid them with fear.

The way to confront those impressions is to put the consciousness there in front of those impressions. We have to see the things we should avoid. 

When we know that what we are experiencing is fear, 50% of the battle is over. We can usually end up blaming the external environment when we don't know that what we are experiencing is due to fear.

The ego of fear creates physical and psychological impressions and symptoms. We can avoid conversations that are negative and provoke fear.

Inside Fear

Every ego is a firm belief. This firmness of belief makes any ego strong and persistent. So to counteract this strong belief we need a just as strong a belief in the values of the consciousness or the Being.

The belief of the ego always has a reference point and that reference point is usually facts. Though the belief in the opposite of fear also has facts as well and usually what we fear is the minor probability.

Trust the Antidote to Fear

What do we base trust on? Or how do we cultivate trust?

Trust is based on the fact or the certainty that fear can be dissolved, and whatever we think and feel can certainly be changed.

The last instalments of working on fear are dealing with the consequences. Sometimes we will lose everything whether we plan to or not. That is where acceptance is needed,

The greatest fear of the human being is fear itself. Another very strong fear is also the fear of death!

Fear sustains itself in Pride. Fear also destroys hope. Responsibility, acceptance and hope are the antidotes to fear.

Fear does not accept responsibility. When we take responsibility for fear and everything for that matter, our thoughts and feelings towards fear and what we are scared of change.

The problem with fear is that it thinks that the situation we are scared of will go on forever.

Fear is death or obstruction. We are scared of failure because we don't see through aspect of restarting.

We only fear the consequences! Not the thing, person or event.

Conclusion

Fear is essentially an intellectual ego, but with very powerful cascading effects on our emotional, motor and instinctive centres. We really have to work fear in our mind first of all.

End (537).

Hypnotic Grip of the Ego - (536)

Introduction

What is so really very hard for us in dissolving the ego, is its hypnotic grip. The hypnotic grip id what ties us to the ego and basically, in synthesis the hypnotic grip makes the ego or rather its excuses, reasons, compulsions, desires seem absolutely real, authentic, legitimate, within our right, honest, correct etc. etc.

Reason Why

The real reason why we can not give up the ego is because we feel it real or one of the above reasons given above. We when the ego manifests have the option to just let it go, to ignore it, to not pay attention to it or to push it into the background, to displace it from our psyche but the reason why we don’t and we chose the ego is because of the hypnotic grip.

The hypnotic grip makes the issues of the ego seems real. But we don’t believe that now, but in time we come to know that the reasons of the ego are not really real. They are the ego itself. We really urgently need with regards to the ego we are working on recognise this. When we don’t believe that that powerful reason is so real, we feel fine, the ego goes, and the issue fixes itself up from its own side or from both of our sides with what is real between us.

For example, we may worry thinking a relationship will end or be damaged and feel great pain about that, but that of looking after the relationship has to be let go of, if we want to dissolve that ego. That worry is not real or is it really a factor that will solve the relationship problem. Let the love between the two or lack of love sort or fix the relationship.

Conclusion

Try and do that, see that those reasons can be overcome, that they are not so legitimate and real. Because there is your freedom, in letting go of those very powerful reasons you will only find freedom. Hanging on to them you will only find the pain of the ego.

That is the door to your freedom - letting go of the hypnotic grip. Once the hypnotic grip has been overcome, the ego is very weak and its death is not far away.

Regarding Arcanum 16 - (535)

Introduction

We Gnostics can create a fear of the number 16, Sometimes we can even go so far as to change tables at a restaurant when we are seated at table 16, or what seats in a bus or plane when we are seated on row 16 or swap numbers with a poor unsuspecting co-worker when we get the number 16 assigned to us or our number has number 16 in it.

What I would like to do in this post is to just try and shed a bit of light onto that subject of mechanically or being scared of number 16.

Arcanum 16

In the Tarot, the Arcanum 16 signifies failure, obstacles, difficulties, fulmination etc. This is often quite painful and something we naturally would like to avoid.

There are certain activities, processes and events in our life that can come under the number 16. This can be because it was always perhaps by karma, destined to fail or because it is not the will of our Being or because something along the way went wrong, which may have been our very own fault or not perhaps our fault.

Sometimes events ruled by the number 1, 5, 7 and 8 or even 18 or 21 can feel to be much worse.

Influence of Arcanum 16

There are also events in life that can be influenced by the number 16 and there are other events that are not, usually the greater majority of the events in our life are not influenced by the number 16. When an event is ruled by the number 16, it fails or is very difficult and when an event is influenced by  the number 16, it has the tendency to fail or become very difficult, though if one is strong it can be overcome.

Really the number 16 only comes into play when there is predestined karma and when we, due to not having the right interior state, quality, strength, capacity etc. bring failure onto ourselves. As soon as the first cracks appear in the activity, the number 16 enters and as more and larger cracks appear, the number 16 takes over the activity making it to fail. In a consultation or astral experience or dream when the number 16 appears, it indicates to us that that endeavour we are involved in will fail or become problematic.

Prudent not to Start on the 16th

It is usually prudent not to start something esoteric on the 16^th day of the month, but if we are just buying a new pair of shoes or something similar on the 16th of the month, most likely nothing will happen - especially when we are not doing anything wrong we don’t have to worry about the influence of the number 16. Mechanical things in life do not really matter too much and are not affected by the number 16.

Well our new pair of shoes that we bought on the 16^th may crack in the bottom in two weeks, well just take them back and great have fun getting a new pair.

When 16 Doesn’t Matter

To get a seat on a plane such as 16A or 16B, don’t worry nothing much will happen. If you are in control of the way you feel, then don’t worry. If the plane goes down, all the rows in the plane will go down, row number 16 won’t be the only row that will go down. On the other hand if we do a certain type of consultation and receive the number 16, this is only indicating to us that our actions, our karma and our circumstances will follow a problematic and difficult course.

Conclusion

So in summary, we have sometimes have to have the courage not to be scared of the number 16. Accept it sometimes as a challenge and courageously deal with it. If we have enough control of ourselves, that is we can put our essence at the command post of our psychology we can overcome a lot of the influences of number 16. Anyway sometimes in our life have to fail for us to improve and renew our efforts or take a new, different and better course. After 16 come 17, hope and wait. Sometimes 16 is there just to take us to 17, to a new hope of something better and a period of waiting for it to take shape and for us to do our part to make it happen.

•          States of matter (solid, liquid, vapour and plasma)

Function

So, the law of four has a function just as the law of three and seven does. The law of three creates and the law of seven organizes. The law of four sustains. Just like something that has four corners or pillars is something stable and sustainable. The fact that we have four limbs means that we can sustain ourselves in life. It is like the law of four covers the possibilities or states or qualities or densities in which created things can be in.

Conclusion – Practical Application

The way we can use the law of four in our life is by finding four elements to stabilize and sustain any possible endeavour that we undertake. If we are missing one of these elements we will falter. So we need in any element or end endeavourer activity: action, mind, emotion and will. If we miss one we will soon give up or it will be too difficult to sustain if we lack one of these four elements of action, mind, emotion and will.

How Hercolobus Will Affect Us - (533)

Introduction

What master Samael says about Hercolobus is that Hercolobus will draw the liquid fire under the crust of the Earth closer to the surface. This of course will affect the environment, the climate, the overall temperature, also the atmosphere; however the conditions will still be such that we can continue to live. The real or more important question is how will Hercolobus affect our mind or our psychology.

No Effect on our Essence but on the Sleeping Essence Yes

It won't affect our essence or our Being but our quantity of sleeping consciousness, it will affect. It will affect our egos and our subconscious. It will agitate them, bring them to the surface and make their manifestation in us more intense than normal.

In actual a lot like the effect of the Full moon on our psyche and subconscious, though much greater in intensity.

Laws of Physics and Chemistry

The proximity of Hercolobus to the Earth may not alter the laws of physics or chemistry so markedly because Hercolobus is not an electronic force. Its main force rather is gravitational and vibrational and of course other things that I am sure I have no idea about.

Conclusion

In conclusion to avoid the harmful future effects of Herodotus we have to have lots of space free in our psyche to which our Being can occupy and therefore be in control of our system and human machine and not the enforced crazy-like egos.

Persistent Difficult Situations - (532)

Introduction

There are certain situations in life that repeat and repeat. These situations may have even started while in childhood.

The reason why these situations repeat and repeat is because we have still not learnt the lesson why these situations exist in our life. There is a certain value that we have to develop from within these situations. When we do not handle values correctly we get a bit of karma and so the lesson to learn from thee difficult situations that repeat and repeat, is to learn how to correctly handle these values.

Examples of Values

Some examples of these values could be patience, tolerance, responsibility and perhaps even to learn how to say no or to speak about things as they are. Each person has one or more of these values in their life to develop.

Way Out

The way to find out which value we have to develop, we first must find the situations that constantly repeat and are painful in our lives. Once we have these situations, we need to search inside the situation and inside ourselves for the faults and the characteristics that if we had them, they would make the situation a breeze. With some sincerity and reflection we can find most or if not all the values that we need to develop.

Develop the Needed Values

It is quite a big step to recognize and accept that we lack certain values. The next big step is to go and develop these values. The real key to developing these values is to dissolve the values that prevent us from manifesting the values we lack.

An Example

For example, if we can not tell people the dangers of their actions or tell them that they are not doing well or tell them something that they won't like we have to work on the fear of not being liked.

When we don't tell someone their wrongdoing, they can not correct their actions, and that may lead them into making costly mistakes. Most certainly they would dislike us more because we did not tell them their wrong doings that could have prevented them from making mistakes.

That fear is a type of a self-love where we feel pain because others don't think highly of us. When others don't like us we feel uneasy or bad about ourselves that is self-love. We should actually feel good about ourselves because we are speaking our truth, and we are helping someone, so we have to feel good about ourselves.

Conclusion

It is all about values we need to find the values that we lack in those difficult situations and develop them, then magically those difficult repetitive situations will disappear.

State of Alertness Indispensable - (531)

Introduction

What I think is the most important thing to practice is the state of alertness. If you want to work on yourself or know more about yourself we really need it. It is so very important!

What is it?

We need to be in a state of alertness, that is: alert, waiting to catch the next thought. Like waiting to pounce, waiting to jump on an intruder. It is to wait in silence, in inner quiet with all your psychological senses finely tuned and sharp ready to pick up the slightest psychological movement.

Gives you Critical Information

We need to catch the thoughts of the ego so that we can know what the ego wants and what it is all about. Then when we have this information we can work on it. We can’t do anything in relation to the work on the ego when we don’t know anything about it.

If we Lack Information

If we lack comprehension and information we can pray and ask the Divine Mother to weaken it and we can chant the mantra KRIM imagine that we are weakening it. We can also use our memory to work on it. The best though is to wait for it to come again for the chance to see more and penetrate deeper into it its logic and nature.

Helps to Awaken

When we are alert we are voluntarily directing our attention and we are in control and our consciousness is active observing our mind. This effort strengthens the consciousness and our voluntary will of attention and this has to help us in awakening. It gives energy to our consciousness and make it more lucid.

When we understand more of the new things that we discover with the state of alertness we awaken more and more to what we have in our psychology. The state of alertness leads us into new discoveries about ourselves and that is an aspect of awakening and it also leads us to transcend our mind which is also another aspect of awakening.

Conclusion

The state of alertness is really a practice for the death of the ego and the awakening of consciousness. What we need to do though from time to time during the day, is to give our state of alertness a superior mystical octave and remember our interior Real Being and relax our body, our breathing and focus our attention on our interior Real Being. Trying to feel His vitality, energy and life.

Notes on Selfishness - (530)

Introduction

Here are some notes taken during a class, so they are not my observations and understanding but that of my missionary.

Definition

• Selfishness is about not sharing our time, money, space, energy etc.
• It is the resistance to co-operate. It belongs to pride. Co-operation is about the superior good being chosen over an inferior option.

What it Does and Likes

• It is to put our interests before the needs and wants of others.
• It is to take things to our advantage.
• It is about possessing and controlling values. It is very rife in relationships. It has fear or uses fear to protect its interests and possessions.
• Selfishness creates intrusion and intruders. IT feels that people intrude upon its space. It also creates isolation.
• It always takes first place. It is also about enjoying the best that is available before others can get to it.
• It either goes to the front to receive the best or to the back to be alone in peace and not bothered by anyone.
• The selfish person wants attention from itself and also from others.
• It really enjoys attention and the enjoyment of it.
• Selfishness is very demanding and has two ways of getting its desires fulfilled, one by being open and clear and the other by being passively aggressive.
• It is also about attention. Attention is one of the most important values in life.

Its Nature

• It is very astute. It has astuteness inside it. It cannot exist without it.
• It is also very proud and inpatient.
• It is always prepared and never unprepared.
• It is also very arrogant. It goes over others without scruples.
• It is also exclusive. It likes privacy. It is very exclusive.

Deeper and More Esoteric

• There can even be spiritual selfishness where we don't share anything of our spiritual knowledge, skills and experience.
• It is about compensation, it is to seek the filling of the void. It is to not have had much before but now it is to get it back from life and others.
• Sacrifice is really the set of values inherent in the "myself".
• The real sacrifice is when we bring the Being here fully and present it to people.

Other

• It is also about enjoying space and that is why we go to war, to take space from others and of course to enjoy it, never to just leave it to others.
• Selfishness unfortunately has to sacrifice the time, energy, money of others in order to get its interests fulfilled.
• We can give and not sacrifice anything. A selfless person sacrifices him or herself or all these values such as time, space, energy and possessions.

Conclusion

We all have some selfishness in one direction or the other, anyhow whatever the direction the solution resides in opening up and giving or sharing. Realising that by giving we are giving to ourselves as well, and knowing that when we are with others we can remember the Being and we still have ourselves, we are not losing ourselves and what we give we will receive later, and that it will be returned to us, maybe at the same octave or maybe at a higher octave.

Our Abyss and Nature’s Abyss - (529)

Introduction

The abyss and our own abyss is the special place where all our egos are located. In the abyss of nature is our abyss. The abyss is basically charged with the vibrations and the atoms of the egos and the activities that the egos take part in. The activities of the egos release certain vibrations and atoms and generate certain negative vibrations and these vibrations attract negative atoms.

Descending into Our Abyss

We can descend consciously into our own abyss and into the abyss of nature, or we can go there unconsciously without knowing it.

To descend into our own abyss we use meditation or just deep inquiry. If we are a little drowsy while trying to descend we can experience our own abyss in images, sound and as scenario that we observe or either take part in it.

Descending into Nature’s Abyss

The way we descend into the abyss of nature, is by using the astral body. We have to project the astral and enter the infra-dimensions through a special door or gate.

Conclusion

The Earth is not the abyss, but our descent into the abyss begins here on Earth, It all depends on what we do. We have the ego and so we have our own abyss, which is none other than the special place in us where the ego gravitates to and resides in. The ego can not reside in our heavens but in our abyss. We have no other option but to work on ourselves to remove the inhabitants from our abyss, leaving it clear, clean and illuminated by the light of our consciousness.
