Met Someone. So How do I then Introduce them to Gnosis? - (2162)

In Reality

In the Gnostic groups say in a country like Australia there may be close to an equal number of single men and women but in reality, unfortunately that does not translate to there being a match for every single person.

According to what I have seen over the years a small percentage of the Gnostic singles are able to find a match among people already actively studying and practicing Gnosis. So one is forced to look outside of Gnosis. That is not at all ideal but what can one do?

Hence this post, which addresses the question: “what can I do to introduce someone to Gnosis, whom I have met and like?”.

Answer

Introduce the person to Gnosis and see…

However, the way that one introduces the person to Gnosis can influence the outcome.

What you really want as an outcome is that the person likes Gnosis for themselves and is not in it because of you. If they are in Gnosis because of you, in the long run they will find Gnosis an ‘uphill battle’ and the chances of them giving up are much higher.


Preliminaries

I think timing, priorities and ‘no fear’ are important factors (in my opinion, others of course will think and advise differently).

Priority

The first thing is to have clear is that your number one priority is what you have dwelling inside you, your Being and the work that you yearn to realise for yourself and your inner Being. Having this one thing clear will set it all right.

No Fear

This point being clear in you, will dispel the fear of losing the person or the chance of working that the person represents. Because you will understand that you need a partner to complete the work of your Being and if that person is not interested in the work than simply that person is not the right one for you to work with and therefore is not the choice or was not approved of by your inner Being and the Law. So, you are one closer now to finding the right one.

Timing

Don’t take too long! The longer one leaves introducing the person to Gnosis the more difficult it will be to deal with the possible outcome that the person just simply does not like Gnosis.

Technique

Above all what is paramount is your example. Our actions teach more loudly than anything that we can say. Always put your work in action first!!! Doing this will give real weight to whatever you say about Gnosis. It will make Gnosis much more real!

I would intelligently explain to the person the benefits of the knowledge, skills, comprehension etc. gained from studying in Gnosis. I would focus on that, starting with the very practical psychological benefits first.

I would focus on how Gnosis gives one a different view of life. How Gnosis helps one to understand people and life. How Gnosis answers so many questions and lays the enigmas of the human being bare. I would show how Gnosis can help the person in their difficulties (everyone has difficulties at or on some level).

The idea here is to show how Gnosis is practical, useful, interesting, powerful and how it will make the person’s life different.

In this exercise you will certainly know if that person will take to Gnosis or not.

If they don’t, personally, my advice here is to evaluate the situation, make sure you are clear and sure and if you are sure that they will not take to Gnosis, then close the book!

I have always gone by premise that one is better off single than in a relationship that does not work or walk both parties towards along a path of spiritual improvement.

Conclusion

Amigo I hope this helps somewhat. Be wise and hold the cause of your Being high in you, as your number one priority to protect! Our Being is our one, unique and primordial love, any other love that surpasses this primordial love, it happens, does not take us to eternity to rest in the bliss that only our Being can embrace us with.

End (2162).

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...
