Introduction
Esoteric Education
I want to use this post to prepare for a talk I am going to
give in a retreat coming up this Easter.
The theme of the retreat is Esoteric Education.
Reference Points and Balance
I feel that with regards to esoteric education there are two
important points. These two points being the use of the correct reference
points and balance.
With the correct esoteric reference points, we can orient
ourselves correctly and make the right decisions in our path and esoteric work.
Our life is the result of our decisions.
By coming to balance we come to learn the complete lesson
about the area of life and or esotericism that we are concerned with. Balance
is the intelligent synthesis of both sides and the two sides are the completion
of the subject, there is nothing more than two sides.
Truth is Never Far from Nature – Fire and Water
Master Samael said that truth is never far from nature. So I
am going to take nature as a reference point to approach some themes of the
general topic: esoteric education and culture.
The elements of nature that I am going to use are fire and
water.
Why fire and water? Because these are two very primordial
elements that are at the heart of our constitution and the work with them is a
large part of the path.
If we are like fire in our conduct, and work according to an
intelligent balance we are going to do well. Because the nature of fire is of
the spirit. Our essence and our Being are closer to fire. It is the nobler
element of the four. Because it is in constant contact with the higher
principles that reign more predominantly in the superior worlds than in the physical.
In summary, the whole message behind this talk is to become
like fire or to at least use now and then fire as a reference point.
End (1649).
