Contrast
The values of our essence are shown to us to exist or not
exist in contrast. That is when subjected to the opposite.
Our serenity is shown and known to us when we are in a
hurry, when there is pressure, when there is an urgent deadline and little time
etc.
One does not know what one has, or the strength of what one
has until one faces the opposite. That is until a contrast is produced. This is
in some way the role of the Typhon Baphomet in us. Let’s see what Master Samael
says about this is in his book “Yes There Is An Inferno, Yes There Is A Devil, Yes
There Is Karma”.
Typhon Baphomet is “every contrast”…
Here are four excerpts about the Typhon being the contrast:
One
“Only through the struggle, the contrast, temptation and
rigorous esoteric discipline can there spring forth in us the flowers of
virtue.”
Two
“Remember brothers that the Devil is every contrast: the
Devil is the shadow of the Sun, the shadow of each tree in the light of the
king star and of the night, etc. Looking at it from another angle, seeing this
matter from another point of view, we can say that the Devil is the flipside of
every coin;”
Three
“in this manner then, the Devil is a matter of contrasts, of
oppositions, etc., etc.”
Four
“That this sacred absolute Sun has its contrasts and
oppositions is normal; in any case his shadow in us and within us is Lucifer,
the great psychological trainer that we have for our own good.”
Conclusion
The values of our essence are developed with contrast and
only are known and seen in contrast. To be afraid of the contrast is to do very
little.
End (1904).
