Laws of Correspondence and the Opposites in Human Beings (Beauty) – (1143)

Introduction

Master Samael mentioned in several of his books the laws of correspondence, opposites and analogies.

This post is a brief look at how the laws of correspondence and opposites applies to human beings.
As brief note, these two laws can be seen operating in human beings in the way the three realities (physical, psychological and esoteric) of human beings relate to one another. Sometimes the three realities correspond and sometimes they are the opposite.

The Roman God Janus

Furthermore, when one of these laws does not apply, it usually directly implies that the other ones applies. For example, if in a human being the psychological does not correspond with the physical the psychological will be the opposite to the physical. If it is not one law that applies, it is the other law that applies.


Laws of Correspondence and Opposites in Relation to Beauty

In relation to beauty there are four types of human beings.

One - Outer and Inner Correspond in Beauty

There are those that are beautiful inside that is within their psychology and are beautiful outside, that is the law of correspondence works making the inner and outer of the person correspond.

Two –Outer and Inner Correspond in Ugliness

There are those that are ugly inside, that is within their psychology (many heavy egos) and they are ugly outside, in their physical appearance. Here the outer and inner correspond.

Three – Outer and Inner are Opposed in Beauty

There are those that are beautiful inside, that is within their psychology, meaning that they have less ego and the values of their essence are active within their psychology. Yet their physical appearance is ugly. The inner and outer of the person stand as opposites.

Four – Outer and Inner are Opposed in Ugliness

There are those that are ugly inside, they have many nasty and heavy egos active in their psychology, yet they are very beautiful in their physical appearance. The inner and outer natures stand as opposite to one another.

Most Common

It seems that the majority of us human beings in the condition in which are in are all ugly inside. Making the types of people two and four mentioned above to be the most common.

It makes sense that really the law of correspondence should rule and so we should all be ugly because our interior is that way however, there are people that are ugly inside and are beautiful outside. Why is this? Also why are there people with a beautiful psychology that are ugly?


Why the Inner and Outer Sides of Human Beings Correspond and are the Opposite

Our Divine Mother is the one that creates our physical body in accordance with the law or our karma. So in relation to the outer and inner being opposite it is because of karma. The karma that the person has does not allow the Divine Mother to create as beautifully as her love may allow.


We never know too, maybe the Divine Mother creates according to what is best for us. We may have the merits to have a beautiful body but the Divine Mother creates otherwise, perhaps for our good.

It is the love of our Divine Mother that if the law allows it to create a beautiful body for us even when our psychology or egos are very ugly.


When there is Mostly Essence the Law of Correspondence in Human Beings Applies

In general when we are mostly essence, that is free essence and little or less egos (“I’s”) what we have in our psychology is acted out in here in the physical world.


For example, if we are strong in our psychology we will be energetic and strong here physically.


When their Mostly Ego the Law of Opposites in Human Beings Applies

In general, when we are mostly ego, the law pf opposites always tends to apply. For example, the case of ‘control freaks’ where we appear very strong and in charge physically but within our psychology we are full of weakness that is behind that strong and in charge behaviour.

End (1143).

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...
