Reason Why Not to Mix Gnosis with the Personality? – (1305)

Introduction

There is such a great tendency for people to mix personality with Gnosis. It is quite common and if left unchecked it can certainly become detrimental. This post explains how that can be.


Entropy

The Gnostic teachings themselves belong to a dimension that is distinct to the dimension or sphere of the personality and life. So when the mixture of personality and Gnosis occurs elements from a dimension not of the same nature of Gnosis are introduced into it.

These new elements from the sphere of the personality have the effect of gradually watering down and fading out the importance of the key points in the Gnostic teachings, which are psychological death, transmutation and sacrifice for humanity.

This is all due to the law of entropy. Which acts to equalise all things to common low denominator.



Missionaries and Students

Missionaries will guard this from happening amongst the groups that they lead and students will guard this from happening in their personal work and life.

They do this so to align with the full force and current of the Gnostic teachings so to benefit their own essence and the essence of others.


Conclusion

Mixing the personality with Gnosis makes the effect of the teachings within people weaker. This weakened effect does not help people as much as it could if Gnosis was to be received or processed alone without any mixture.

In life when we study law, medicine, engineering etc. at university, what we study is not mixed with elements from any other unrelated sphere. Why should it be done with Gnosis? People in life don’t do it, for example like at university, the lectures don’t mix things, yet people demand that Gnosis does it, that is mix the teaching and practice of Gnosis with personality elements.

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...
