The Three Charges of a Fallen Boddhisattva - (850)

The Three Charges

The three charges of a fallen bodhisattva are for:

1.) Having assassinated the interior Buddha (Atman).

2.) Having betrayed the white lodge.

3.) Having committed minor crimes.

When the bodhisattva falls, the fallen bodhisattva is charged with these three crimes by the Divine Law.

Three Distinct Karmas

They can also be considered as three distinct karmas.

First Two Karmas/Charges

The first two charges and karmas are paid for basically when one incarnates the human soul and finishes the fifth major initiation. At this point one becomes accepted once again by the white lodge so the second charge or karma can be considered paid or cancelled and so can the first one. This is because a part of Atman has been incarnated and this is a great show of trust from Atman in the person. The person then does the will of Atman. The person then with the human soul is going to work for Atman and revive Atman and later incarnate Atman in the second mountain.

Minor Crimes

The minor crimes are those that do not stop one on the path and they are those that are paid for later on in the path. In fact many of these minor crimes are pardoned as the master at this stage has eliminated many egos and has gone beyond the possibility of sinning, and as the master has worked much for humanity, and upon him or herself, the pardoning of these minor crimes is warranted by the Divine Law.

Conclusion

It must be this way that the first two heavier charges are paid for earlier in the path. Because otherwise the Being would not be free enough later on to finish the Great Work and these charges would be large obstacles for the human soul to incarnate. So these charges must be paid for before the human soul incarnates. That is why the beginning of the path is difficult and takes longer to complete and is fraught with a lot of suffering.

We pay for katancia or katancy a tiny bit at the beginning and in full at the end of the Great Work.

Karma Is Round - (849)

Round Because

Karma is round because we start something and the result comes back to us. The consequences meet up with us in time. Time is also round. That is why spirals and circles exist so much in nature and the cosmos.

Two Most Important Times – Start and End

The most important two times are the start and the end. These are magic moments that merge. How we start the day in many ways determines how the day will be and then therefore how the end will be. At the end of the day we meet the results of our start to the day or to a start of something carried out during the day.

The Egos or “I’s” of the Hidden Side of the Psychological Moon - (848)

Introduction

The following post is basically a replication of some notes I took during a talk given by my marvellous missionary.

Egos of Buddhi and Atman

These are the egos that have caused us to come into creation; they are the egos of Buddhi and Atman. They are also called the egos of the consciousness. They are said to be very strong and tempting.

Being and Intimate Christ Dissolve Them

They are also egos that the Being and the intimate Christ work to dissolve. It is the role of the Being to dissolve those egos, before tackling these egos it is the work of the person and or the work of the human soul to dissolve the egos of the visible side of eth psychological moon and then to dissolve all the egos in the bodies etc.

Last Three Years of Job

The last three days or years of Job are assigned to dissolve these egos of Buddhi and Atman.

The will of the soul has to be totally free to be able to dissolve these egos of Buddhi and Atman. At this point the will of the Being is free after having completed the fifth year of Job. This is what is needed to dissolve those egos of the consciousness! This is what happens in those last 3 years of Job and the three days between the death and resurrection of the Christ.

The triumph of Atman resides in triumphing over these egos and his karma and effectively himself.

What are the Sacrifices of a Missionary? - (847)

Opening the Heart

The real sacrifice of a missionary besides giving up some of his or her time, energy, space and effort, it is that the missionary opens up his/her mind and heart to include the students in his or her life so to help them.

A Friend

The student becomes a friend and then the missionary suffers when the student suffers. The missionary takes great risks to trust and open him or herself up to include the students in his or her psychological space.

Serves the Monad of the Student

The missionary works and serves the Being of the students, so the missionary goes beyond the personality and the egos of the student and even beyond his/her own egos as well.

Works to Receive Light to Give to Others

Also the missionary works on his/her psychology to get the light so to give it to others. That light is only gained with outer and inner sacrifices.

Katancia or Katancy is for Us Too! - (846)

Introduction

Do you know that we can get katancia or katancy, that serious superior or spiritual type of karma being students and missionaries or instructor of Gnosis.

How?

Very easily. When we mislead souls or deceive the essences of Monads by not giving them the correct teachings or somehow burning them out by leading a very controversial or bad example, we can get this very special type of karma called Katancia or Katancy.

Summary

When we mislead people in the teachings and lead them astray we get Katancia or Katancy. Katancy or Katancia is a special type of karma that pertains to spiritual matters and is typically for the Being and of course affects the spiritual life of a person. It can also be for the person, but it will only feature in their spiritual life. For example if we misled others spiritually we will face obstacle after obstacle in finding the light we are desperate for.

Not Everything a Master Knows is Taught - (845)

Introduction

In the case of master Samuel and all the masters, only a portion of what they really know is taught in books and lectures to the public.

Passed on by Word of Mouth Only

There are things which they know that are for them only, and then there are things which can only be taught by word of mouth or passed on to disciples from the lips of the master to the ears of the disciple. These things are keys which are critical for the understanding of the master's teaching, so critical that without these keys the teaching cannot completely be understood. These teachings are also things that belong to the mysteries, that only those who are ready for them, can receive them.

Much Left Out of the Books

In the case of master Samuel he wrote so many books and yet that was only a small portion of all that he knew. I heard somewhere that master Samael said that he only wrote 5% of all that he knew. I don't know how correct that was though. I also heard that Master Samael had several notebooks in which he wrote teachings, mantras, experiences etc. that he received during certain periods of his life and none of the details or teachings in those books were written down for people or included in any of his books or talks.

Trust and Fear - (844)

Introduction

Here is a post about fear, which comes from my marvellous missionary.

First Point

The first point is that we are scared of the consequence, not the person, the animal, the object, the event etc. But the consequences.

Second Point

The second point is the following process:

Mistake -> Consequences or Karma -> Pain -> Rejection of the Pain -> Fear

This is a cycle that goes from mistake to fear and then from fear to more mistakes or fear of what could provoke the mistake.

The mind creates patterns of behaviour. The pattern that emerges in particular relation to fear is the acceptance of something and then the rejection of the opposite!

This is the conditioning of duality! Where we like black means we dislike white.

Fear and Trust

Fear is the trust that something wrong will happen to us. Or it is the distrust that something good or right will happen.

Fear is the trust or conviction something bad will happen, it is basically the trust in the bad which is the distrust in the good to the exact same degree.

Solution

The solution is to learn how to trust on the physical level. Then the psychological and spiritual.

The mind corrupts the spiritual values of the human being and the first thing to do is to stop the actions that make mistakes.

End (844).

Gnostic Magician - (843)

Introduction

This post is a very brief description of what magic is from the Gnostic perspective.

Magic Defined

Magic is defined as being able to influence the elements or phenomena of Nature with means that are not entirely physical in nature or entirely explainable on physical terms.

Magic Exists for Some and doesn’t Exist for Others

Magic does not exist really. Magic is a term that is used to describe something that happens physically without our senses and sensual/sensory mind being able to work it out.

So for those that know how magical things are done, it is not magic but science, be it an esoteric science the methodology is known. For those though that do not know how magic is done it is magic.

Two Types of Magic

There are two types of magi master Samael says. Which are the natural and Hermetic magic. That is the magic of the astral and the magic of the mind.

Magic is about the Consciousness

To operate magically we need to operate on a different level other than the physical level. To do this we must operate or command the esoteric, conscious or spiritual part of the elements of nature. As the spiritual commands the physical, contact with the spiritual produces the magical action, that is the influence that moves the elements and that is not a physical influence but an influence from inside the elements of nature that causes the elements to move themselves.

Because magic is about using the consciousness and the mind we can not operate magically if we do not know how to connect to our own consciousness and first of all exert magic within our own cosmos or body.

We have to first become a magician within our own nature first before we can become a magician outside of ourselves. We are a magician within our own microcosmos of nature when we activate and apply our consciousness to change things within us, especially first of all our psychology.

The Elements and Magic

When we don't like an element such as earth, water, air and fire, it is because we do not relate well with that element inside of ourselves!

Learning to activate and perceive with our consciousness is the first step! Then comes communication with the consciousness and then comes the magic result.

This magical result can be brought about by either the use of force, command, will, power of being or dignity, majesty, nobility or respect! The Gnostic way is to use our Being or spirit to communicate and command the elements or rather elementals, by first of all appealing to the God or ruler of the elementals in question.

First Magical Acts

The first step of magic really is learning to do magic within ourselves, that is learning to exert influence over the elements in our body first before we can work with external elements of nature.

Start with the psychological dimension first to learn to connect to their conscious part first. This is because the psychological is the bridge always between the physical and the spiritual between matter and the consciousness. So the psychological is always the bridge and it is the starting point to penetrate into the spiritual aspect of anything.

Summary

What we are interested in gnosis, is speaking from a magical perspective, is the magic of the consciousness.

End (843).

Why don't We Stop Making Mistakes? - (842)

Reasons Why

1.) We get away with it.

2.) We recover relatively quickly from the mistake.

3.) No one knows.

4.) We don't feel remorse.

5.) People still love or like us.

6.) We don't think we are doing wrong, or we think we are not going too bad.

7.) We think that we somehow benefit from it.

Summary

Basically we could say that even though the consequences are there right in front of us we don’t feel them because our level of consciousness in that area is not very developed.

End (842).

The Three Parts of Everything - (841)

Introduction

Ancient Greek sages claimed that there are three parts or centres or dimensions to everything. Which are the inferior, the middle and the superior.

If we recall a few Gnostic teachings we can see these three aspects featuring quite frequently. For example; each planet Master Samael says has an infra-dimension (hell), a physical dimension and a heaven or superior dimension. Each atom is a triad of matter (lower), energy (middle) and consciousness (upper), and every living creature has an inferior part (body), a middle part (psychology) and a superior part (spirit or Real Being).

The latter example is also expressed as: the physical body, the soul/essence/psychology and the spirit, or body, mind and soul/spirit.

There is also the physical, the psychological and esoteric reality, which respectively correspond to lower, middle and upper.

Interesting Excerpt

The following excerpt from Manly P. Hall’s book “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” explains this teaching or truth of everything having three parts, layers, dimensions or aspects very clearly and interestingly, quoting some vey ancient and interesting examples.

Exceprt

“According to another concept of the ancient wisdom, all bodies--whether spiritual or material—have three centers, called by the Greeks the upper center, the middle center, and the lower center. An apparent ambiguity will here be noted. To diagram or symbolize adequately abstract mental verities is impossible, for the diagrammatic representation of one aspect of metaphysical relationships may be an actual contradiction of some other aspect. While that which is above is generally considered superior in dignity and power, in reality that which is in the center is superior and anterior to both that which is said to be above and that which is said to be below. Therefore, it must be said that the first--which is considered as being above--is actually in the center, while both of the others (which are said to be either above or below) are actually beneath. This point can be further simplified if the reader will consider above as indicating degree of proximity to source and below as indicating degree of distance from source, source being posited in the actual center and relative distance being the various points along the radii from the center toward the circumference. In matters pertaining to philosophy and theology, up may be considered as toward the center and down as toward the circumference. Center is spirit; circumference is matter. Therefore, up is toward spirit along an ascending scale of spirituality; down is toward matter along an ascending scale of materiality. The latter concept is partly expressed by the apex of a cone which, when viewed from above, is seen as a point in the exact center of the circumference formed by the base of the cone.

These three universal centers--the one above, the one below, and the link uniting them-represent three suns or three aspects of one sun--centers of effulgence. These also have their analogues in the three grand centers of the human body, which, like the physical universe, is a Demiurgic fabrication. "The first of these [suns]," says Thomas Taylor, "is analogous to light when viewed subsisting in its fountain the sun; the second to the light immediately preceding from the sun; and the third to the splendour communicated to other natures by this light."

Since the superior (or spiritual) center is in the midst of the other two, its analogue in the physical body is the heart--the most spiritual and mysterious organ in the human body. The second center (or the link between the superior and inferior worlds) is elevated to the position of greatest physical dignity—the brain. The third (or lower) center is relegated to the position of least physical dignity but greatest physical importance--the generative system. Thus the heart is symbolically the source of life; the brain the link by which, through rational intelligence, life and form are united; and the generative system—or infernal creator--the source of that power by which physical organisms are produced. The ideals and aspirations of the individual depend largely upon which of these three centers of power predominates in scope and activity of expression. In the materialist the lower center is the strongest, in the intellectualist the higher center; but in the initiate the middle center--by bathing the two extremes in a flood of spiritual effulgence--controls wholesomely both the mind and the body.

As light bears witness of life-which is its source-so the mind bears witness of the spirit, and activity in a still lower plane bears witness of intelligence. Thus the mind bears witness of the heart, while the generative system, in turn, bears witness of the mind. Accordingly, the spiritual nature is most commonly symbolized by a heart; the intellectual power by an opened eye, symbolizing the pineal gland or Cyclopean eye, which is the two-faced Janus of the pagan Mysteries; and the generative system by a flower, a staff, a cup, or a hand.

While all the Mysteries recognized the heart as the center of spiritual consciousness, they often purposely ignored this concept and used the heart in its exoteric sense as the symbol of the emotional nature, In this arrangement the generative center represented the physical body, the heart the emotional body, and the brain the mental body. The brain represented the superior sphere, but after the initiates had passed through the lower degrees they were instructed that the brain was the proxy of the spiritual flame dwelling in the innermost recesses of the heart. The student of esotericism discovers ere long that the ancients often resorted to various blinds to conceal the true interpretations of their Mysteries. The substitution of the brain for the heart was one of these blinds.

The three degrees of the ancient Mysteries were, with few exceptions, given in chambers which represented the three great centers of the human and Universal bodies. If possible, the temple itself was constructed in the form of the human body. The candidate entered between the feet and received the highest degree in the point corresponding to the brain. Thus the first degree was the material mystery and its symbol was the generative system; it raised the candidate through the various degrees of concrete thought. The second degree was given in the chamber corresponding to the heart, but represented the middle power which was the mental link. Here the candidate was initiated into the mysteries of abstract thought and lifted as high as the mind was capable of penetrating. He then passed into the third chamber, which, analogous to the brain, occupied the highest position in the temple but, analogous to the heart, was of the greatest dignity. In the brain chamber the heart mystery was given. Here the initiate for the first time truly comprehended the meaning of those immortal words: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." As there are seven hearts in the brain so there are seven brains in the heart, but this is a matter of superphysics of which little can be said at the present time.”

What is Better for Normal People: to Know the Truth or Stay Asleep? - (840)

Introduction

If you ask a person that they will say the truth. They will want to know the truth they will feel deceived and tricked if there is the option of knowing the truth and not knowing the truth. However, it may not be so good for them or is it?

For Example the Truth that Hell is Real

For example if you tell an elderly person that there really is hell and that most likely all human beings who do not change their inner nature to be in tune with heaven are going to go to hell, that truth may well hurt them and ruin their life and cause them to die with much anxiety and panic.

So, is it better to tell them the truth or let them be as they are believing that they will go to heaven as asleep and full of ego as they are?

A Big Dilemma

What would you do?

Maybe tell them if there is time for them to do something about it, and that there is a good chance that they will take it well. Otherwise if we really know that it will be harmful don’t tell them.

Conclusion

It is sad, but that is true, the truth does hurt and to be awakened is not easy. It is so much easier to be asleep.

Mantra KRIM and the Divine Mother Help to Wash Away Karmic Debts - (839)

Introduction

When we express the ego and we make mistakes we incur karmic debts. Sometimes these debts are paid in the next minute or very quickly after they are incurred. However some are not.

The ones that are not go into our book of debts, waiting for us to pay them later down the track.

However, these debts that are waiting to be paid later on can be partially paid by us doing something here and now.

KRIM and Divine Mother

Working on the ego that caused the debt, especially working with sincere yearning in the elimination of it with the Divine Mother can wash away parts of those debts. We can wash the most difficult parts of those debts.

Conclusion

Working with the mantra KRIM and the Divine Mother begins to tip the scales in our favour in relation to the debts we have stored from one or another ego.

The Masters Don’t Pamper the Personality - (838)

Introduction

The above statement is awful for us, especially for the personality but it makes sense and it has to be true. 

How can they Pamper the Personality?

If what really counts is the essence and the Monad why would the masters put so much attention to our personality, especially in keeping it so strong and active that it overcomes the essence all of the time? Why would they pamper our personality and leave our essence without the chance to grow and develop?

Pampering the personality usually occurs at the expense of the growth of the essence. The Masters don’t pamper the essence either, because pampering is the excess, it is the breaking of balance. But the Masters help the essence which is different by giving it what it needs to develop itself.

Why Does Pampering Exist then?

It exists because of the good egos of people, and furthermore the personality of people is setup that way to pamper others, and or because in general people are quite weak and pampering is a way to keep our weaknesses going. Because we are weak we find not pampering oh so terribly cruel.

Also it may be because of the law of cause and effect, if one has pampered others then one earns to be pampered. Or one may actually deserve to be pampered after having previously worked hard.

We are going bad if we are attached to being pampered. That is something that my goodness makes one weak and is the cause of much suffering.

Conclusion

I think that it is good to remember this that the masters do not pamper the personality. Especially, the masters of the Law. Those masters want the awakening of one’s consciousness and the payment of one’s karma and none of these two things are achieved by pampering the personality. Are they?

Well being realistic sometimes we have to pamper people, because they can not make it without it, but when it comes to ourselves it is a different story. We can be tough with ourselves so to give our essence the best chance to come to the fore and answer the difficulty.

End (838).

Pampering – What is it and Why it is Detrimental - (837)

Introduction - We Love Pampering

Let’s face it we love pampering ourselves and others. It seems good, though is it really? This post is a deeper look into the subject.

We Pamper Ourselves and Others!

When we pamper others we do it for a reason and the results in the long term are not good. In the short term they may be good but definitely not in the long term. Why do we pamper others? We pamper others because it benefits our interests. Sometimes when we don’t see this point, we say to the other or think to ourselves: “I pamper you because I love you”. But just wait a second, as soon as they reject our pampering the love we have for them disappears in a flash and the real thing in us comes out - the anger about not getting what we want or not getting that interest pleased. That interest could be many a thing, from: acceptance, approval, love, affection, kindness, care, money, compliance with our laziness and errors etc. etc.

It is About an Excess to the Detriment of Something Else

Pampering is about the excess, it is about giving or receiving or having or feeling or experiencing over and beyond what is needed. It is about crossing over the line of balance, where something becomes harmful. Often in pampering others we lower our sense of reality, we ignore the reality and become overly and unnecessarily sweet, we give too much, we take from our dignity, we bend over backwards when it is not our fault and we shouldn’t be required to bend over backwards so to speak.

We Pamper Ourselves!

Just as we pamper others we pamper ourselves, We pamper ourselves in many ways from psychological ways to physical ways, that is through our psychology or through the senses. When we pamper ourselves we give to ourselves too much, that is to the detriment of something else in us or something related to us.

That is what pampering is about, it is giving to the excess and to the detriment of ourselves or someone else. When we pamper ourselves we give ourselves or afford ourselves too much protection, security, comfort and pleasure. Always that extra protection, security, comfort and pleasure is what rots us and spoils us. It is just like giving a plant too much water, it makes the plant sick.

When we pamper ourselves through the senses we become sick, and that sickness is a weakness which expresses psychologically as a belief that we can not live without it or be ok without it or it is unfair or too difficult or life has no meaning or that we need it. All are untrue if we investigate a little deeper.

Conclusion

The ego certainly pampers us to our own detriment. Most of the time, the tougher we are on ourselves, the better for ourselves. Give to yourself but don’t pamper yourself because to pamper is to give in excess to the detriment of something else in us. Also be careful pampering others as that is no good for them and turns against us as well later on down the track.

End (837).

With Sacrifice and Without Sacrifice - (836)

Attitude Towards Sacrifice

Being very honest we don’t like sacrifice most of the time. Mostly because it can hurt or produce some discomfort, especially at the beginning.

We can even silently within ourselves protest as to why sacrifices are needed. We may not even be able to find something that we can start to sacrifice, we may think that sacrifice is all about the big things, like moving to a foreign country, and teach Gnosis to foreign people in a foreign language or adopting a very rigorous and demanding regimen of practices etc. We then think sacrifice is not for us.

We may tend to avoid sacrifice and we may stay just as we are for a long time not making any sacrifices. It evens feels good to just dream about one day making a sacrifice or to make plans about making sacrifices in the future. This may seem like bliss or pleasure to us and it may feel very comfortable and we may feel happy and content on some level. Though…it has a price and sometimes this prices is sadness and disappointment.

What it is like without Sacrifice?

After a while without making any sacrifices our inner life becomes sad, because we end up stagnating. We feel incapable of sacrifice, we can feel far from the masters and the missionaries who are making sacrifices, we can feel as if we are not doing anything. Though the major benefit that can come to us being in such a state is the understanding that sacrifice is like a spark that ignites something new in us, in other words it is something that propels us to new stages.

The protest of why sacrifice necessary changes as we understand that that is what we need to move to a new or higher level. It is the necessary spark to jump us to the next octave.

Sacrifice is like an Igniting Spark

Sacrifice is like a spark that sets something into motion and also maintains what has been set into motion. It keeps the momentum of the new movement and gives life to the new.

It is what brings the death of the old and the birth of the new. It is what transforms as sacrifice is transmutation, it is about losing something inferior to gain something else superior. It is not about giving up something or releasing something to get nothing. This is what we always forget when we feel the pinch of sacrifice.

Conclusion

It seems like every birth begins with sacrifice. The Gnostic movement for example was born and maintained with tremendous sacrifices. Well in short it is a law, so that for something new to appear in us or in life the law of sacrifice must enter into operation.

If we want to go ahead we have to find what is stopping us and work on the sacrifice of it, which is the transmutation of it. If not we end up staying as we are and that can become a burden that is very tiresome, disappointing, saddening, self-deceiving and stagnating.

Everyone can sacrifice something. In general sacrifice starts here and now where we see something stopping us, it can be something physical or psychological. We all have the sacrifice in front of us and it is something that we work on and do gradually or do in an instant’s decision.

The most supreme sacrifice is one’s life. This sacrifice can be made in many different ways you know, not just in giving the life in our body so that the life of another will be spared.

Is sacrifice really that hard? So many others have made the sacrifices that we need to make in our life and within ourselves. All those before us have survived and have been happy, the same will be for us.

Sivananda About Atman or the Intimate - (835)

Introduction

The following text comes from a documentary made by a Gnostic institution that provides a really very interesting description of Sivananda’s teachings on Atman and how Master Samael found his own Intimate using the method taught by Sivananda.

About Atman and Bragma Murtha

“Sivananda used to see the interior life development of a man as a construction of a house. He said that the thoughts were the plans of the architect. But who is the architect? The architect is the conscious will at the service of the Intimate Master.

In the Intimate, in Atman, Sivananda saw the key to the path. In order to walk the path to self-realization correctly, we have to seek the Intimate in ourselves. Sivananda said that the right time to seek for the Interior Master is precisely HIS time, which he used to call 'Bragma Murtha', meaning the time of Bragma. It starts exactly 2 hours before dawn and lasts until the Sun comes out completely.

Sivananda said that we had to start our daily journey practising esoteric exercises, saluting the Creator, as Master Samael advised a gnostic student once: “Every gnostic should awaken early to do their esoteric practices”. After the Salute and prayer to the creator, Sivananda advised to sit and practice pranayama, to transmute the Christic energies, the prana of life in us. These should be followed a deep meditation on Atman, the intimate master.”

Netty Netty – Practice to Find Atman

“The discipline of Gnana Yoga is the best way to get it. This method comprises of self questioning: 'Who am I?' that is to say, what is my true identity. Once awaken the inquietude of knowing who I am, we need to practice what Sivananda used to call 'the doctrine of Netty Netty': This is not, this is not, this is not. Doctrine that should be applied to each one of the existential bodies of the Being. “I am not the physical body, I am not the astral body, I am not the mental body, I am not the body of will, I am not the consciousness, the Buddhic body . This is not, this is not, this is not. And once rid of the existential bodies of manifestation, we can answer the enigma, who am I? with the supreme affirmation: “ SO-Ham”. I am HIM, I am HIM, I am HIM.”

Master Samael and the Netty Netty Practice

“The young Samael used to practice in this way, as he said to us that by following the strict rules of Gnana Yoga, he reached the union with the Intimate. In his advanced practice, Master Samael also got to experience the illuminating void, the experience of the great reality, at a young age for 3 consecutive times.

These experiences allowed him to directly experience the psychological reality of the ‘I’. He comprehended that the ‘I’ is the obstacle that takes us far from the reality. Since then he'd become the enemy of himself. He declared the interior war on the ‘I’. Since then he fought restlessly to eradicate the ‘I’ from his interior nature.”

White Waters - (834)

Introduction

Each colour of the waters is like a level of being in relation to sexuality and in some way to our overall level of being. It is like a way of thinking and feeling towards sex and sexual energy. It is a way of being, that can express or be known in many different ways, such as expression through the word, attitudes, concepts, actions etc.

Whiten the Waters

To whiten the waters purification is needed. The black waters being represented by a crow indicate to us that something has to die so that something new can be born. The new that can be born is the white waters. The white waters appear as a good omen or a good sign like the light of day, signalling to us that we are doing well in our efforts to do with the purification of the waters.

White Waters Imply Increased Responsibility

White waters are a state of increased responsibility. Whitened waters are the result of action based upon the conscious relation to our sexuality or sexual energy. More knowledge and consciousness brings responsibility so the whitened waters are the result of a more conscious relationship with our sexual energy. The only real way to get a more conscious relationship with our sexual energy is to transmute.

How Transmutation Helps

Why does transmutation help us in our sexuality? Because, it helps us to relate well or properly with our sexuality!

It is a good way of relating to our sexuality and sexual energy because the effect or result is good and dignifying. If the result was bad for us we would say that it is a bad way of relating to our sexuality. Just as eating heaps of sweets and junk food is a bad way of relating to our body because we end up feeling sick and getting sick, that is getting diabetes etc. or worse liver damage.

Though more to the point, transmutation makes us more conscious and aware of the sexual energy and how our sexuality affects everything in our life. Especially, our psychological and spiritual life. If we don’t transmute we can never ever come to really understand this. Transmutation is needed because it increases our awareness, consciousness and understanding of sexuality and this puts us on the way to whitening our waters.

Conclusion – Key to Whiten the Waters

Remember the key that Master Samael gave to whiten the waters was to combine transmutation with the yearning for the Being.

About a Guru - (833)

Etymology

Etymology of the word guru: he who dissolves darkness.

Text from GURU-DEVA:

Here below is a translation of a section of text taken from the Guru-Deva.

“Meditate on the form of the guru

Venerate the feet of the guru

His words are taken like sacred mantras

His grace ensures the final liberation”

From Buddha

“Of all the masters of the past that achieved illumination, none got it without the help of a Guru.”

“Of all the masters of the future that will achieve illumination, none will get it without the help of a Guru.”

Question

Do you have a guru?

Maybe yes, maybe I don’t know you may answer? By default all the Gnostic students have Master Samael as their guru.

As the Buddha and the Guru-Deva have said we need our guru for our advancement. Are we working with our guru? Maybe we are, though is it enough?

Our guru is the one that gives us light in the times when we are in our deepest darkness.

It is in such times when we need light more than anything to dispel the darkness so that we can survive on the path, we have to call out to our guru for help.

Master Samael on Why Krishnamurti and Gurdjieff’s Technique to Dissolve the “I” Fail - (832)

Introduction

The following text comes from a documentary made by a Gnostic institution that provides a really very interesting description of how Master Samael came across the didactic for the dissolution of the “I”.

It explains his failures and his final discovery of the Didactic that we now know which was made complete and fully effective with key of the elimination by the Divine Mother.

The Documentary Starts by Saying:

“Despite the importance of Gurdjeff's teachings, Master Samael hasn't found the concrete didactic for the dissolution of the ‘I’ in Gurdjeff. Like Krishnamurti, Gurdjeff appeals to the creative comprehension of the ‘I’ as a weapon to eliminate it. In practice, however, this method is not valid.

Let's listen to what Master Samael has said about this:”

Master Samael Explains

“We have arrived at a difficult and critical point in the current talk. Gurdjeff, Ouspenski, Nicholl, Colins and many other authors of the fourth way - Gnostics like us too, because we are also of the fourth way – thought that they could disintegrate any psychological aggregate or any I through simple creative comprehension and nothing else. Gurdjeff made an unforgivable mistake that was to pronounce himself against the Divine Mother Kundalini. He did it because of ignorance, I do not deny it. But it was like this, Gurdjeff confused the sacred serpent Kundalini with the abominable organ Kundabuffer and attributed all the twisted and tenebrous defects of the Kundabuffer organ to the Divine Mother Kundalini.

We must know that in order to eliminate the ‘I’, we need a power superior to the mind, but Gurdjeff removed this knowledge from his disciples, and I do not want to remove it from my students. I truly regret that Gurdjeff deviated from the direction of the teachings that I myself taught him. He was my disciple. I regret that he made this serious error, but he let others influence him. That was regrettable.”

The Documentary Continues Making the Following Comments

“It is important to understand these words of Master Samael, but understanding them without fanaticism. We are here touching a delicate point of the interior work: the practical method to eliminate the ego. The mystical death is the foundation stone of the work of the Father; if we make a mistake in the method, the work fails. To get orientation in this labyrinth is fundamental. This is a great inquietude that Master Samael had.”

Fortunately, he received help and knew the precise method and conquered the total elimination of the I in his interior nature. For this reason and with the maximum respect to Gurdjeff, Master Samael insisted in not being caught up in his teachings and deepen more into the Christic mysteries of the Sacred Gnosis. Let's listen to the advice of Master Samael in this regard:”

Master Samael Explains

“Through the teachings many are getting caught up with Gurdjeff and Ouspenski, then they don't want to leave them. Some are becoming more Gurdjeffists than Gurdjeff himself as these were the ultimate truth. The doctrine of Gurdjeff is incipient , if people get caught up in it, they will not advance at all.

Have in mind we'll hand over the Pistis Sophia and you'll realise that Gurdjeff is only the Kindergarten. So don't get caught up in Gurdjeff. He is good as a starting point, but not to get caught up. The teachings are greater, we'll give you the Pistis Sophia, which has the whole body of doctrine that Jesus of Nazareth delivered to his disciples in the Mount of Olives.

I'm finalising this work, very soon, I will deliver it. Instead of you getting caught up in Gurdjeff, study Jesus of Nazareth which is more profound, practical and transcendental.”

The Documentary Concludes this Point Saying:

Master Samael brought the superior teachings that was expected at the end of 20th Century, these teachings of the 3 factors of the revolution of consciousness.

This are the teachings of the Intimate Christ, the path to Christification, where the doctrine of the death of the I is the cornerstone of the great Christic Work.
