Ray of Socrates and the Ray of Plato? - (2449)

So what would be the ray of the Monad who had a vehicle many many years ago in ancient Greece, that it is written had the name of Socrates? Would that Monad's ray be Art, Law, Wisdom, etc.?

What would then be the ray of the Monad of the disciple of Socrates named Plato, who died 11 years after Socrates in ancient Greece? The same or a different one? Perhaps a different one... perhaps one of the three listed above.

Those two dudes in the centre are Socrates on the left and Plato on the right.

Anyway ending all the intrigue, if one reads Plato and reads what it is said that Socrates said, and one combines that with one's knowledge of the the rays taught to us in Gnosis, one can see fairly clearly the different rays of the Monads of these two historical personages.

The Law sticks out in all that Socrates says and Wisdom sticks out in a lot of what Plato writes.

Have a read and tell me what you think?

End (2449).

  1. To which planetary rays do the Rays of Wisdom and of Law correspond to?

    1. They could be Mercury, more in the case of wisdom it could well be, but it does not have to be. The ray of the Law could belong to many a different ray.

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...
