No Good or Evil Just Evolutionary and Involutionary Processes

No Good or Evil Just Evolutionary and Involutionary Processes - (2231)

Evolution and Involution

As Master Samael says these two forces or processes permeate the whole of creation. They are the two axes upon which creation is built upon. These two forces produce a great balance among all things.

If we were to remove one, we would have a terrible unbalance.

These two forces are a direct expression of duality.

Evolutionary is all that is constructive, progressive, increasing, growing and developing. While involution is the exact opposite, it is all that is destructive, decreasing, decaying and atrophying,

Good and Evil are Concepts

Master Samael dares to say that good and evil as we know it do not really exist in reality out there in the cosmos. Good and evil are present as concepts within our heads. These concepts of good and evil are also relative. What is good to one person is not good to another. This observation of the relativity of good and evil shows us clearly that good and evil are mental concepts.

Master Samael says that what really exists out there are evolutionary and involutionary process.

Relative Sense of Evil Not an Absolute Sense

Our whole problem in the world is that we all have a relative sense of evil. If we had an absolute sense of evil everyone would agree on what is evil and then we would stop many and many more conflicts from emerging. Then there would be more peace on Earth.

Nothing is Good or Evil Until the Mind Says So

All events and phenomena in nature are all neither good nor bad but what they are: events. Our mind classifies them as good or bad. This also shows us that good and evil are mental constructs or concepts.

What is best is to see things in terms of their result as evolutionary or involutionary characteristics rather than see things through the filter of good and evil.

This teaching from Master Samael is a real eye opener and gives us the impetus to break the many concepts of good and evil that we could have.

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...
