What does it Mean to be Human in the Esoteric Sense

What does it Mean to be Human in the Esoteric Sense - (920)

Introduction

We say in Gnosis that what makes us human is the human soul. The human soul lives for, by and in the values of the Being. The other way to live is by, for and in the values of the sleeping parts of the essence, which unfortunately do not make us fully real human beings. They, in manner a fact make us similar to and sometimes worse than animals.

Real Human Being

To be a real human being is to be the human soul in flesh and bones! Tiphereth is that which really makes us real human beings. The real human being can only be discovered and described from the ethical point of view. Certainly not from the physical point of view because a real human being and an intellectual animal as Master says look exactly the same.

Esoteric Dimension of the Real Human Being

The esoteric dimension of the human soul is the Being. The psychological dimension of the human soul is the many with the soul at the centre dictating the ethics of behaviour. A real human being is a divine being.

Intimate Christ and the Real Human Being

This is the human being that is really redeemed by the Intimate Christ.

Why is the Christ found in the cross? Because the vertical and horizontal crossbeams represent balance, and the Christ is found in balance!

The human soul is also the human face of the Intimate Christ, which is the side of the human being here amongst human beings! The human side of the human being is the physical aspect and the esoteric aspect is Atman. These are the two sides of the real human being having the human soul.

The Intimate Christ and the Typhon Baphomet or Lucifer are also one, forming the Christos-Lucifer. This means that the temptation of Lucifer is Christic and this is because with temptation the virtues are won and the soul learns, develops and strengthens itself.

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...
