Some Gnosis FAQ About Is It for Me - (738)

Do I Need it?

If you want a different and more spiritual type of a life then you need something that will help you. However, if you are not interested in a different kind of life then no, you don’t need Gnosis or any other knowledge for that matter that will help you to change.


How Will it Help Me?

Any knowledge is useful and helpful. The problem for us humans is to be without knowledge, so studying Gnosis will direct you towards self-knowledge and that knowledge will help you in many different ways. Firstly and most importantly it will help you to modify the causes of your pains and sufferings. It will allow you to modify the way you act and therefore change the many events and circumstances of your life.

With self-knowledge will come control over your psychology and with control over one’s own thoughts and emotions comes the elimination of so much anxiety, fear, awkward circumstances and mistakes that we often make. Furthermore applying Gnosis will show much about yourself and nature that is hidden to ordinary eyes. Gnosis and the many practices given if sincerely applied will open you to another reality, an inner esoteric reality where the possibility of walking an inner path leading towards the depths of oneself, where mystery, peace, previously unknown forces, principles and faculties all reside.

To summarise, in the psychological way of things, Gnosis will teach you how to have the right or appropriate inner state for every occasion of life and will provide you with many keys that you can use to quieten your mind, dissolve your defects, safely on your own investigate your subconscious, fortify your health, improve relations with others and improve the circumstances of your life.

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...
