Ritual or Ceremony - (2031)

Idea of Ritual

The idea of a ritual, is that it is a formula by which the same forces can be consistently evoked.

An activity becomes a ritual the very second the first activity was repeated. It is not a recurrence, it is something more, it transcends the ego. It is something esoteric. The design of a ritual is to contact superior forces as to open a channel for an interchange, for a certain communication to occur between us and superior forces.

It is something that is done consciously for a reason. In either direction, but what concerns us, is in the direction of the white, of the superior, of the Being, of the spiritual.

Essentially and potentially speaking the very same forces that were present the first time the ritual was performed can be made to be present the second, third, fourth and any later time.

In the best case a ritual unlocks the same forces to reproduce the same result in the future.

There are many rituals in life, our daily routine is a ritual, a family dinner is a ritual, and they are carried out to reproduce the same results as yesterday or before. The rituals of life are in place to strengthen, to unite, to instigate progress and to ensure continuity, and consistency. Spiritual rituals do the same plus they add the special interchange with superior forces whereby we can communicate our needs and gratitude to these superior forces as well as receive their help.

Ceremonies are a group effort that are present for a group so that each member by doing their best inside the ceremony can attract the forces of above to descend over those taking part so to assist and guide each group member. It is a very tangible way in which each member can help the other spiritually speaking. It is a marvellous interchange and conjunction of forces.


Christic Rituals

In such rituals the Solar or Christic forces are invoked and an interchange between human beings and those forces occur.

The Christic forces energise, heal and balance. They do indeed fill one with great amounts of psychic and spiritual energy that then make many other spiritual practices possible.


If we Don’t Transmute and Transform our Psychology we Neuter the Forces of the Christ in Us

In any Christic ceremony of any religion or school or group, Christic forces are received and that is wonderful but what is more important is to give those forces life within oneself. That is to provide fertile grounds within us for those forces to work by transforming us.

When those forces are received and a person loses their sexual energy and does not weaken the ego the loss of the sexual energy and the manifestation of the ego (anger, pride, lust etc.) just neuter or dissipate the received energy.

The Christic force is there to give life, just as the sun causes a seed to die and to yield up new life in the form of a seedling, the Christic forces do the same in us, it being the Holy Denying denies the ego and causes new values to arise in our consciousness. The Christic force dies and resurrects, that is a characteristic of it. It dies so to give new life.

End (2031).

Comments

  1. A beautifully inspiring post. I connected it to the teaching of the 3 C's. Communication, connection and communion. Something we should always be aspiring to uphold with dignity and reproduce with faith.

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...
