Realise in the Beginning it is Hard – (1741)

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 and so we feel weak, sick, upset, like we are swimming against the current, our astral experiences dry up and overall it is a miserable time. Our strong egos appear to really bother us and nothing makes us happy. All we feel is down, upset, weak, tired, angry as well as envious at those who say Gnosis is great.

If we don’t understand this stage we may end up leaving, which is a mistake. The solution is through. Work and work to get through it. The less problem we make of it the better and the less troublesome it will be for us.

Persist and the Sun Will Begin to Peer Through the Clouds

The key is to persist and persist. Our Being helps everyone in this difficult stage to persist. As soon as the bulk of our karmic payment has been made things shift and things change starting by a change in our interior where a certain beautiful positive feeling for the work on ourselves appears along with hope, optimism and a looking forward to the battles with the ego because one now feels that one can triumph.

Then the work continues onward with many more things to be done. But this time there is a confidence, a happiness in our background.
