Description Kabbalistic addition adds the individual numbers within a number, so to reduce that number to a number of significance. For example: 1976 added kabbalistically becomes: 1+9+7+6 = 23. This result can in turn be reduced by kabbalsitic addition to 5. The number five is very significant as it indicates the presence and operation of the Divine Law of Karma. Kabbalistic Calculator The following calculator will add any number kabbalistically. Simply enter the number and click the Add button. Enter a number: Kabbalistic Addition of your number: End 1745.

In a Few Posts My plan is that, in some of the posts over the next few days I am going to post some calculators that I have written in JavaScript that will help you to easily perform the calculations Master Samael mentioned in his book “Tarot and Kabbalah”. After I have posted all of them I am going to put them on a separate page within this blog site. I hope to provide you with explanations of these calculations and their relevance to our lives. I learnt JavaScript for you guys. Hoping that you can take something from these calculations. End (1744).

Massive Stumbling Block A massive stumbling block to our own awakening is distraction! Got you! Don't get distracted thinking why I posted this image of an angry cat! The real distraction is us getting carried away with our very own thinking. Maybe because it matches the site's colour scheme. Maybe because I like ginger cats. Who cares, don't get distracted! Distraction is Diversion Distraction diverts our focus and with it the flow of consciousness and life. Watch it! When we are distracted we fall asleep. Then the calamities of being asleep happen! End (1743).

Logical It makes sense doesn’t it that the higher is our level of Being the closer we are to our inner Being. Our level of Being fluctuates many times during the day. At one moment speaking for example to a co-worker our level of being can drop. When praying and meditating it rises. If we can keep it higher through right thinking, feeling and acting we can drawer closer to our Real Being. There are keys to help us to do this. One key is to watch the elements that throw our level of being downwards the most. Read on for the specifics. Egos that Disconnect the Most from Our Being Which Ones? Lust and Pride. Why? Because they keep the level of the being low in us. End (1742).

Start Well The experience of time in Gnosis is interesting. The encounter in Gnosis is usually very warm, pleasant and relieving. The feeling of having found something so real, so explicative, so clear and so possible and so full of promise that we feel a great relief and content of the essence. However, that is the learning stage, the working stage is a little different, that is when things change. In the learning stage we receive much help all with the purpose to help us verify the knowledge and cement our position and understanding. It Gets Hard Once we begin to understand the necessity for the work on ourselves and we learn at the least basics of how to do it things change. A shift occurs in our karmic account. The payment of our karmic account opens and the work of definition begins. Which is a bitter kind of a work. Because much has to be undone and much has to be established. Much resistance must be overcome...

When it First Hurts When there is something that we need to develop or rather something that the Being within us needs to develop, we may first begin to become aware of this through the pain of perhaps envy, pride, guilt, lament etc. The main things is, that we are awoken to the fact that we lack something and there is a kind of yearning within us to develop that quality. Then Later it Burns Later on if we don’t take action to develop that quality, the yearning begins to burn in us and this burning wishes for us to take the action that we need to develop. We may here begin to make a plan to develop it, which is good, however, the longer we delay it the more it burns and the more it hurts. A part of the burning stage is to come to understand how important that quality is for us and how it will change our inner and outer lives. Then Get It for #%$^* Sake! Once we feel it deep within us that we need that qua...

Introduction Here below is a description of the currencies through we can pay for the results that we seek. We’ll start off with from the lower paying currency to the higher paying currency. Sporadic effort is like a currency of brass (AUD). Consistent effort   is the currency   of silver (USD) and consistent  effort  plus super effort is the currency of gold. Consistency is the Currency that Pays Highly If we are looking for a currency in life that will pay handsomely, it is consistency. If we fail at something, it is most of the time due to a lack of consistency. Relationships falter due precisely to this, a lack of consistency. Consistency kills contradictions. Brings Results Consistency in anything brings results. It is highly constructive, and it pushes progress along. Everything in life is only ever built with consistency and constancy. Observe the way a building is bu...

Do your night time vigils, but watch out for pride, anger, annoyance and irritation. To lower your guard to pride, anger, annoyance and irritation and act with them undoes your efforts made during the night. Pride because you think you are doing more and are better and anger because you are tired and impatient. It is always those that are close to us, and do the most for us that cop the brunt of our anger, irritation and annoyance. For sure do your vigils but die in those elements. End (1738).

From an Esoteric and Scientific Point of View Fantasising is not very good for the human machine.  This is because it drains the energy of the intellectual and emotional centres. It actually substantially drains the energy of these centres. It is very common to feel like a slight ache and tiredness or emptiness in our intellectual centre (head and brain) after having spent some time fantasising.   Wrong Energies For our human machine to keep working it requires energy, however the energy levels in the human machine have been depleted somewhat and require topping up. This topping up of the human machine's energy levels is done by taking energy from the sexual centre which is the human machine's fundamental energy source. This topping up of the intellectual and emotional centre from the sexual centre is actually detrimental as this causes the intellectual and emotional centres to function with fuel that is not of the appropriate grade. It is just the same as p...

This always happens. You see these fanatics practicing or doing heaps and heaps and later on they blow up! How many times have we done that sort of thing ourselves? Many times right. No more then. Balance is always the best guide and the best way to be stable and sustain oneself long term for as long as God permits. End (1736).

Discipline A discipline is a great help in establishing the solar nature and breaking the grip of the ego on our life and inner processes. In the esoteric sense this is true. Maybe not in other senses. The discipline to dissolve the "I" brings freedom, and discipline later gives way to the will of the Being. Which is freedom! A discipline because it is consistent counteracts the inconsistent ego, that is pendular and is essentially lunar. A discipline is something solar, because it is consistent and constructive and yields results. End (1735).

No Results – Low Morale This happens a lot everywhere. People set goals or there are results that they want to achieve, and that is something good and exciting. However, as people begin to work towards their goals and the results that they want to see don’t appear, they lose morale. Then starts the usual tirade of things: “it doesn’t work”, “I’m no good, I’m useless”, “It is too hard, maybe I am not cut out for this.” etc. etc. Be Smart – Set Small and Achievable Goals Naturally, not seeing results leads to giving up or feeling low, defeated, depressed etc. We have to be smart and avoid this situation if we can. Good to know that all of the steps above are actually steps. So we have to keep taking steps. Often this situation is bound to come about because we set goals that are too high and can only be achieved much later in the future, and of course we are not going to see results until much time passes. What is intelligent if we can do it, is to break down...

Shine Your Light and Interrogate The ego is in our human machine because we havn’t exposed it to the light of our awareness yet. As soon as we shine light on it and even interrogate it, it’s allergies peak and it begins to slink away. The ego left the building! Just do a short retrospection and you will see that you have not shone your light on it and that is why it has been swirling around your head and moving feelings and impulses in you. End (1733).

Separate Just as the title says, while we have the ego, to be conscious is to take the inner action of separating our consciousness from the processes of any ego within our psyche. To keep being conscious we have to continually do the above. It makes sense then that a person who is trying to be conscious will get very good at separating his or her consciousness from the processes of their egos. To be awakened is not an issue of the how many egos there are, but the conscious action or ability to separate what there is of consciousness from any egoic process. End (1732).

Extend Conscious Efforts into the Sexual If we are trying to be as conscious as we can in the events of our daily life so as to extract knowledge, understanding and insight and make the best of life’s opportunities we will naturally extend that into the field of transmutation. Transmutation Extraordinary Opportunity for the Consciousness Because during transmutation we have the more extraordinary opportunity to enhance our consciousness and extract knowledge, wisdom and above all energy, which becomes consciousness or rather more consciousness. Any reasonably intelligent person who is trying to awaken their consciousness would try really hard to be as conscious as possible while they transmute their sexual energies: either while married or single. End (1731).

Two Men There dwell within each one of us two men or two women. The inner and the outer. Outer The outer is the personality and the body and the likes and dislikes of the body and the personality. The impulses and desires of the body and the senses are the what rule the outer man. For example, pleasures of all kinds, and normal sex are of the outer man. As are working out, eating, shopping, drinking, dressing up, etc. Inner The inner is what we are interested in cultivating. The inner man is that in us that dwells in the consciousness prevailing over our inner processes. The inner man is the one in us that works for eh real Being in us. It is the one who cares for and manages the values. It is the one that works to enhance them. The inner man adopts supra sexuality, which is based in transmutation, because the inner man knows that it is what develops the Being in him or her. End (1730).

In Order to be Healed from an Emotional Pain “Place three crystal glasses filled with pure water upon a table, with one rose in each glass. These glasses must be arranged so that they will form a triangle, one glass towards the north, another towards the east and another towards the west. Each glass must be blessed by the person performing this rite, who will drink the three glasses of rose water daily in the following sequence:  Before breakfast, drink the glass of water which faces the east. Before lunch drink the glass of water which faces the north.  Before dinner, drink the glass of water which faces the west. This treatment must be accompanied by a sincere supplication to the Intimate (Spirit) and to the White Fraternity, so they may help the person become free from the emotional pain in which he is situated. Any emotional pain, as grave as it might be, will be cured with this formula, which is repeated for several days. When and during what e...

Non-Identification To be aware constantly and ever more constantly how we lose our identity as consciousness to the varied identities of the various egos, helps us greatly in awakening and maintaining our ‘more awakened state’. Focus On Identity It is the cornerstone of our awakening – to not be identified. To not be identified, we must know our identity as consciousness or at least know that our identity is not pain nor desire nor fantasy nor body nor mind nor protest nor any funny ego. Then the second step is to focus our awareness always on finding out what identity we have in each moment. If it is the consciousness, then we are on track. If it is the ego, then drop it and take back the consciousness. Thousands of Times We may have to do this thousands of times and that is fine, each time we do it we awaken. We are in the process of awakening and so wakening means to come out of sleep. So the more we d...

Some Principles of Awakening Below are a few principles of awakening. These are not all there are more. There being principles to one’s awakening means that to be awake we will naturally adhere to these principles. Some of the awakening principles are as follows: 1.) Be awakened in everything. 2.) See duality in everything. 3.) Give everything the right proportion. Everything – the Common Word The common word in these three guides is 'everything'. Meaning the awakening must be constant otherwise it is not really awakening. The division of attention is also necessary for the awakening of consciousness. End (1727).

When you work on yourself you make certain discoveries that even though you would like to write them down and tell people about them, you just can’t. The best that you can do, is to tell a few people that you trust by word of mouth. I just finished writing one just now, but I just couldn’t click the orange and white Publish button. Hence this post instead. Remembering some anecdotes of Master Samael and things my marvellous missionary said it seems that, what is definitely a part of everyone’s path is that there are things that they can certainly speak of and then there are things that can only be passed on verbally to a small few. So as this seems to be a common, maybe even a principle it will happen to you too, it already may be happening. So it is a principle, so to break it would mean having to deal with certain consequences. If I did break it say in the next post what would happen? You would perhaps get c...

With Action it is Done and with Action it is Undone When we decide to act with any ego, even if the actions are small and apparently harmless, that ego gains momentum. Then all of a sudden we have an overwhelming desire to deal with. The only way to undo such an overwhelming desire is action. It was created with action and so it must be undone with action. The right kind of action that is. The ego is like this it creates a snow ball out of actions and lets it roll to become so big it creates trouble. Obviously the right kind of action that will undo this ego’s momentum will be actions not generated by this ego. The actions to undo this ego must be generated from the work on ourselves. This can include a numerous number of things from taking a shower, reading the newspaper to meditation, prayer and chanting KRIM. End (1725).

Introduction I have heard people many times say that they feel more confident, and generally better when they have been exercising and working to develop their body. This makes sense as exercising the body brings more capabilities to us and improves the health of our body. We may be able to run further and quicker, we may become stronger and more skilled at certain things etc. and it is quite natural to feel a little more confident in these areas. However, to feel dependent upon, or feeling it a need to have the body exercised and in shape indicates that something has been misplaced within us. Old Age When the body gets old, its health, strength, control, speed, flexibility and overall general abilities fade. So then when that happens what we use to feel confident and well won’t be yielding in that way. So then may realise that we have made a mistake in deriving confidence from the wrong source. Work the Consciousn...

Introduction Where I work, the receptionist is charge of cleaning both coffee machines. These machines are quite elaborate and to clean them is bit of an involved procedure. One really has to learn the procedure and have access to the right coffee machine manufacturer supplied cleaning products (cleaning solution and cleaning tablets). The receptionist taught me the procedure and gave me the cleaning products for me to clean the machines while she is way for a week. So this morning I had to clean the machines, because they are cleaned on Monday and Thursday mornings. Except that this morning, Monday morning, I just plain forgot. Angry Coffee Egos The coffee machines when they have not been cleaned on time are set to stop working and so very soon there were a lot of angry, frustrated, annoyed and complaining people around the office. When I realised this and remembered and went to clean the machines I got some pre...

Introduction Say that you could only devote yourself to one practice for the awakening of your consciousness, that practice would be: "the state of alertness".   (The state of alertness is to be acutely aware of our psychological processes and to be waiting with intense alertness for what next can appear in our psychology). This practice intensely activates your consciousness, is done by the consciousness and exercises your conscious will. Everyone can do it and it has very important ramifications for our awakening of consciousness, self-knowledge and mystical death.  Learn Being in a state of alertness one can learn about themselves. We may read many books about psychology, esoteric psychology and even esotericism and become very frustrated because we still only know very little about ourselves. However, with the state of alertness we can learn directly in a conscious and real way. To be in a state of alertness is to read the book of our own nature. So with...

Introduction When the egos of lust are weak or are temporarily not in the human machine, a touch of the enchantment of life can be experienced.  Free Essence but Asleep (Ignorant) It can be that the free essence knows and remembers that there is a certain enchantment latent within sexuality and it may search for that. However, lust answers that call for the search and then the opposite appears - disenchantment.  Disenchantment As soon as the processes of lust begin to cause a loss of psychic energy through identification or prolonged thought (which could be quite short actually - maybe less than a minute) the enchantment disappears and disenchantment appears. If it happens that later on there is a loss of the sexual energy then the enhancement totally disappears and is replaced by worse than disenchantment. Need for Awakening This is why we need awakening. Because being awakened we know that there is no enchantment through lust and the egos of lust ca...

Psychological Islands Within our psychology we have many different parts of our psychology. The problem for us is that they are not connected to one another. They are isolated just like islands in a vast ocean. This post is really just repeating to you in words what my marvellous missionary has been saying lately. Proof of the Existence of Isolated and Disconnected Psychological Parcels There is so much proof of this that the various parts of our psychology are like islands, disconnected from one another. The many contradictions that we have are a prime example of this. The fact that we have interesting esoteric experiences that show us that esotericism is real, that he Masters are real and that our inner Divinity is real, yet people talk to us, and then other different egos talk inside of us and then we develop a negative attitude towards the work on ourselves disbelieving in it. Yet we had these marvellous ...
