Mantras: Step 1 - Purpose and Intention – (1543)

Logos

“The Logos sounds” Master Samael says.

In Greek the word ‘logos’ means ‘word’ or ‘plan’. Logos also come to mean the “word of God” and it is also known in other contexts as the principle of divine reason and creative order.

All of the above meanings are significant and relate to one another. They are all aspects of the one and same thing: universal sound.

The Logos was the one that created Master Samael said. This is because the word creates and as the Logos is the word, it was the Logos that created.

For there to be any kind of creation there must first of all be the reason to create. So the Logos had a reason, a purpose and an intention to create.


Mantras are there to Create

When we chant a mantra we wish to create something. So, in that moment we are acting like a mini Logos.

Just as the Logos infused Its intention to create through sound and its intelligence through the word we have to do the same.

If there was no intention or cause or reason to create then the sound and the word of the Logos would not have reached its effect, that is causing creation to erupt from within the bosom of the Absolute.


No Purpose = Mechanical and No Creation

If we don’t have a purpose or an intention to vocalise a mantra the practice of chanting the mantra will become mechanical, and most certainly results will seldom arrive that way.

Creation is ordered and intelligent and if we don’t put a purpose and intention into the mantra or the sound that we make we can not for a second expect to create something ordered.

This is why sound creates geometry, because there is an intelligence moving through it.


End (1543).

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...
