Gnostic Plebes – (1603)

Introduction

This may seem to be the most derogative title and post I have come up with so far. Though what I want to stress in this post is for us to be aware of a certain law or principle of the path.


Those Below are Used to Test those Above

It happens that those who are below say an initiate or Master, are used as instruments at times to test or help (usually through some sort of a problem or difficulty) the initiate or master that is above them on the path.

The reverse can happen as well, but not as frequently. Those that are above are not used, they instead set the tests, which is very different to being used as an instrument.

There are very many accounts where Master Samael tested his disciples and students, physically and internally.


Can’t be Avoided Sometimes

We are all linked, and at times the students or those below a Master or an initiate, are used to provide the conditions and circumstances for the tests or scenarios so that master can further raise him or herself. This is because those that are around an initiate or Master are 'humanity' for the Monad of that Master or initiate, and humanity is always the one that provides the scenarios and circumstances through which the initiate or Master has to raise him or herself along with the help of the Master's inner Typhon.


Those that are Used

Those that are used to help the initiate suffer too, it is difficult for them to be used in the process of those who are above. They suffer because their egos do things that their essence does not want to do.

The ego is used to test or provide these difficult scenarios and the ego acts because it is suffering or  is hurt. It is usually pride, envy, self-importance, self-love, ambition and selfishness that provide the many difficult circumstances for the one who is above.

We may not want to be used out of pride, we say: “let someone else do that or fulfil that role”, which is a legitimate enough request, if one does not have this attitude coming from one's pride, but rather from the wish to not suffer and not be the instrument of making another suffer.


Concluding Advice

Be aware of your subconscious, your attitudes and your conduct and try hard to not be one of them. The best policy is always to be clear and clean in our subconscious, in our attitudes, thoughts and feelings.

If we are clean and clear we may still be used but unknowingly, and being clean and clear it is not so bad. The more alert and aware we are though the better,becasue we can quickly jump out of the scenario and mitigate anything that may happen or is happening.

End (1603).

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...
