How Gnosis Loves - Emancipation of the Will - (2594)

Even If Don't Want To

If we are insulted can we choose to not feel insulted and stay kind and quiet because that is what we want to do?

No right, it is very difficult, to remain quiet let alone remain kind and gentle outside and inside of ourselves.

This is because our will is not our own. Our will is dispersed amongst several other egos, and it is this will 'that is not our own' that prevails when insulted.

Because our will is in the hands of various egos we can be moved and controlled just like we were puppets.


Love from Gnosis

The marvellous thing about Gnosis is that it really loves us, it shows us how to emancipate our will from so we can do the things that our very own essential really wants to do.

We can say that within Gnosis there is the highest respect of free will. This is because Gnosis gives us the keys to free our will and therefore come to possess all of our will. Thus we really and truly get free will.

That for me is the love in Gnosis.

Why Go Above Good and Evil? Master Samael Answers – (2593)

Introduction

Here we go, the reason why we must struggle to transcend both good and evil and not get stuck in good.


Excerpt

English

“Thus, the Initiate has to become independent not only of the FORCES OF EVIL, but also from the FORCES OF GOOD; he has to fight against the Powers of Evil and against the Powers of Good. "

"In final synthesis, good becomes bad, and many aspects that seemed to be evil, become good; and we must go beyond good and evil, and know the good from the bad and the bad from the good. The dogmatic structures of conventional ethics, in the end, only serve as a stumbling block for those who march along the Path of Self-realization; that is the harsh reality of the facts.”

Original Spanish

“Así, el Iniciado tiene que independizarse no solamente de las FUERZAS DEL MAL, sino también hasta de las FUERZAS DEL BIEN; tiene que pelear contra las Potencias del Mal y contra las Potencias del Bien.”

“En última síntesis, el bien se vuelve mal, y muchos aspectos que parecían del mal, se vuelven bien; y hay que pasar más allá del bien y del mal, y conocer lo bueno de lo malo y lo malo de lo bueno. Las estructuras dogmáticas de la ética convencional, en el fondo, sólo servirían de escollo para el que marcha por la Senda de la Autorrealización; ésa es la cruda realidad de los hechos...”

Colours and Auras – (2592)

Aura

Master Samael says that everyone has an aura, and a person’s aura is the emanation and vibration of the natural fire that we have in our body.

He also says that our aura is influenced by our psychological state. He says that we can train ourselves to see the aura of people. Furthermore, every planet has an aura, and every living thing by virtue of the quantity of the natural fire of life and vitality that the living thing has within it, has an aura.

Violet and purple auras. Our aura changes constantly based on what we are doing inside of ourselves.

When in the ‘No’ of the Ego Focus on the ‘Yes’ of Your Work and Your Being – (2591)

When Struggling with a Decision...

When we are in a struggle, we are in a struggle because there is the ego in us saying “No!” and then there is the work saying “Go Ahead!”. Or it could be the opposite if we struggling with temptation. The ego is saying “Yes!” and the work is saying “No!”.

Anyway, we can help ourselves out by focusing on the yes of the work and the yes of the Being.

We can feel the hurt, pain, worry etc. of the ego, but it is displaced by the joy of saying yes to the work and the Being. Imagining we take the decision to go ahead in the work, then imagine he benefits of that decision coming to us, imagine the peace, the light, the harmony, the happiness of the essence…

That is very powerful stuff to displace the angst of the ego.


Conclusion

Where we choose to focus is decisive! I suggest if you really like and value your spiritual work, put your focus on the work and your inner Being.

Work Well in Your Actual Life Not in Your Should Be Life – (2590)

Don't Touch with Reality

Even with the best intentions, we can start to stop living in our life and go astray living in what we should be doing and what we want to be doing instead of what we are actually doing. For example, we say: “I should be working on this and that in such a, such a way” and we start to chase that idea of ‘should’ and that is where our focus goes and we forget the now and the important egos that appear in us and stop working on ourselves but because we still have the ‘should’ in ourselves we still think that we are working but we are not really.

When we live in the ‘should’ we actually stop noticing our life and we don’t really come into direct grounded contact with our life and ourselves as we really are. The result of this is living on the surface and never being able to make real changes within us.


In the ‘Should’ is Pride

To live in the ‘should’ is pride and a lack of trust in our inner Divinity. Our inner Divinity sets the rhythm and didactic of our work and if we are in our life we work the didactic that is set for us. When we live in the ‘should’ we work our didactic and desires and can never quite make them fruitful.

We feel really guilty all the time because of the ‘should’. That is the gift that ‘the should’ gives us: guilt!

Conclusion

The solution is to be here settled and accepting of pour life and work our very own life intensely with no ‘shoulds’ or plans of ‘should’.

End (2590).

Separation of the Wills – (2589)

When our will and the will of the go are united we have no chance of dissolving the ego. We will always do the bidding of the ego.

When our will separates from the will of the ego then freedom for us has begun.


This is because when the wills separate, that is when a part of your essence will say no I don’t want to do that anymore.

Then in that wedged open space we can notice that we are really the one who does not want to do it. Then with that opened space we can work and work making that space of separation of wills bigger and bigger until we acquire more will and then the battle is won!

Sorry We Have to Know the Jail So To Escape – (2588)

We Don’t Like the Jail

You know none of us really like the jail of the ego (you does right?), and so we would naturally prefer not to know about it, talk about it, read about it and even if we could not study it.

When there is a person that has dissolved the ego or is dissolving it, you see that this person (not me) naturally does not really want to hear or see the ego. In fact the more they can forget it the better for them.

However, in the beginning we can not allow ourselves that luxury. We have to know about the jail of the ego, because if we do not know it there is no way that we can escape from it.

The reason why we study the ego is so to be able escape from it at the due moment.


No Escape Without Knowledge

Nobody would be able to escape physically from a jail if they had not studied every aspect of that jail before hand. See that all the jail escape movies involved an intricate plan that implied very detailed and exact knowledge of the jail and the way it was managed.

Of course, though, people may study the ego to acquire knowledge for very different motivations. The motivation that we take in Gnosis, is to dissolve the jail and thus free ourselves from it.

Other people may wish to acquire knowledge of the jail of the ego for vanity, to defraud or seduce others, to take advantage of others etc. etc. All of these motivations though only further strengthen the jail of the ego.

Jealousy is About Dissolving Three – (2587)

Introduction

Sorry another jealousy post. Tomorrow is a different day so there will be different posts tomorrow.

Three No!

When there are just two, there is no jealousy. When there is three there is a problem, and jealousy appears to solve this problem.

All the feelings of insecurity, being loved less, being only half-loved, feeling abandoned etc. all appear when three hovers around and comes into the picture.

You know before three arrived, we were loved the same and when three arrives we are still loved the same. Because of the comparison we feel that we are loved less and feeling the ‘less’ is what jealousy can’t stand.

Jealousy is in place in many ways to dissolve three. It is committed to dissolving three. That is its end goal. The way it does it depends on the level of Being of the person, but in the end three must be dissolved.


Relativity

The very interesting thing here is the relativity. Jealousy seeks a way to physically remove three. This way it removes relativity and all the very uncomfortable feelings that arise.

What we really want is to not feel those uncomfortable feelings.

But what about if we can’t remove three physically. Then jealousy tries to do it psychologically by forcing the other person to not like three.

The key is to transcend relativity within us by turning jealousy inside out.

To transcend relativity, we must go to the absolute value or free value. Which in jealousy is love, trust and our Being. If we direct our love and trust to our inner Being we see that our Being is the one who watches over and controls the relationship and love is not a rigid thing, it is by its nature elastic, sometimes we are loved less and sometimes more, and both sides more and less are equally valid and teach us something. The 'more' will come again and the 'less' too in a cycle.

All the abandoned, not being protected, not being loved, not trusting in the sincerity of the other person's love feelings, all can be overcome when we trust in our inner Being and send our love up to It. Knowing that our inner Being will not abandon us and it is us that must love our inner Being and the love for our inner Being is more important than being loved.

End (2587).

Why Jealousy is So Awful and a Little Secret – (2586)

Introduction

Hi, you are probably getting tired of hearing about jealousy. I understand that… So I’ll keep it brief.

Why So Aweful

Consider this quote:

“JEALOUSY IS THE DRAGON IN PARADISE; THE HELL OF HEAVEN; AND THE MOST BITTER OF  EMOTIONS BECAUSE IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SWEETEST.”

This quote tells us why. Because one of the values at the centre of jealousy is love. Which is of course the sweetest. noblest and most beautiful thing in us. As every ego conditions the values of the soul in relativity and duality we see that the value of love in jealousy gets turned over to its opposite, and the opposite of love is of course hatred or one of its many variations such as the many kinds of ill-will.


Little Secret

In jealousy there are karmic debts. Or rather certain karmic debts that are paid or processed through the ego of jealousy. Which would these karmic debts be? The debts to do with love! The results of us having the in the past betrayed, abandoned, seduced someone away from someone else etc. etc. are these karmic debts.

Superior Intellectual and Emotional Centres – (2585)

Introduction

We have seven centres holding to the Law of Seven the Holy Heptaparaparshinokh that has organised the creation of man.

These seven centres are: intellect, emotion, motor, instinct, sex, superior intellect and superior emotion.

The two superior centres are only experienced in brief flashes at rare times during the life of a person. If however, a person begins to work on him or herself, the work that this person does opens these centres and allows the person to experience the workings and results of these centres in us more frequently and for longer durations.

Master Samael says that messages from the higher parts of the Being filter down to us through the superior centres. Once these messages enter the superior centres they are then passed onto our five centres to be processed and put into action.


Superior Intellectual Centre

Self-Observation and Self-Remembering Master Samael says belong to the superior intellectual centre.

There are dreams that correspond to all seven centres and the more instructive and illustrative dreams are those that correspond to the two superior centres.

Superior Emotional Centre

Master Samael said that the “superior emotional centre has more penetration, omniscience, more wisdom and is more important”.

He also says that when we make the personality more and more passive our Being is felt more and more through our superior emotional centre.

He also says that emotional understanding is superior than intellectual understanding. The many parables that we can find in the bible are of the language of the superior emotional centre.

He also says that with the superior emotional centre we can penetrate into the deepest parts of ourselves.

Conclusion

The superior emotional centre is very much worth cultivating. Actually we can’t do with out cultivating it.

We Don’t Dislike Anybody We Dislike our Own Concept and Flavour of the Other – (2584)

Our Flavour and the Other Person are Two Different Things

We commonly make the mistake of thinking that what we feel about the person or towards the person is the person. They are really two separate things. The real person is something way more and beyond what we feel about them.

Our feeling is so limited and narrow and the real person is infinite, because within them is an infinite Being, just as we have.


Conclusion

Understanding this allows us to not make the mistake of identifying with our feelings. Because us identifying as having been wronged etc. by that person consists in us seeing them as a nasty person.
The result of this is that we can if we want, give ourselves the freedom of not being controlled and conditioned by our own feelings.

Dissolve all concepts about people, but until then do not believe in any of them, especially the ones we have about people.

Thanking the Monads in Our Lives – (2583)

There are so many beautiful people in our lives that make our life so much easier. Why are they in our life doing that? We don’t know really why, but we can thank them for doing it. Our parents, our brothers and sisters, our Gnostic teacher, our Gnostic class mates etc.

The love and help that they give to us comes down from their Monads through them to us. That is a real and precious thing, to be able to appreciate and thank another person, and through that person we hope that our heartfelt thanks can go up to their Monad.


Why should another Monad spend its energy and time on us? Hard to answer in exact truth, but in synthesis we find love to be the answer, and that is precisely why we feel gratitude. Love of the Monads!

Purgatory Planet - (2578)

Introduction

In a few places Master Samael briefly mentions the Purgatory Planet. It wasn't until that I read these 'brief mentions' carefully that I realized that the Purgatory Planet is a part of our realization.

This is a very interesting theme and this post is a bit of a collection of what Master Samael spoke about the Purgatory Planet.


Every Solar System Has One

One interesting point about the Purgatory Planet that Master Samael raised is that each solar system has one. Meaning that in our solar system called Ors, there is one of these mysterious and secret Purgatory Planets.

He refers to it as a secret planet that is beyond good and evil.

In the way that Master Samael refers to it, seems to be a very physical planet. He says that its climate is of an eternal spring, and it contains the best flora and fauna that the solar system has to offer. He says that its beauty far outweighs the beauty of any of the planets in a solar system.

He says that the inhabitants of that planet live in caves made by mother nature. He says that there are 12 thousand species of extraordinary bird species that fill the atmosphere with their songs and tweets, there are 10 thousand species of minerals and he says that all the flora and fauna of the universe is present in these purgatory planets.

He says that inhabitants of the purgatory planets have cosmic space ships with which they can visit other planets and galaxies. Master Samael said that it was the Angel Herkission that gave the inhabitants of the planet purgatory those space ships.

He also says that the omnipresent, the Eternal Cosmic Common Father, the Aelohim manifests Himself there to motivate those who are preparing themselves for the final truth.


Why Do they Exist?

These secret purgatory planets have been created for those sacred individuals to live in meanwhile they work to eliminate from their interior some undesirable elements.

Master Samael says that only those who have crystallised within themselves the three forces can inhabit the purgatory planet.

The purgatory planets exist for those who wish to enter the Sacred Sun Absolute but still contain some undesirable elements in their psyche that need to be eliminated.

The reason as to why certain beings may have these undesirable elements in their psyches even after crystallising the three primary forces within themselves is due to a very ancient event that occurred within the Sacred Sun Absolute.

This event was actually a long period called the epoch of the God Chootlitanico.

Master Samael says that in the past certain beings entered the Sacred Sun Absolute with certain undesirable elements in their psyche/solar bodies. The aura of these beings with these undesirable elements began to mix with the aura of the Sacred Sun absolute and this mixture was really disastrous.

This mixture of the auras or the contact that these imperfect beings had with the Sacred Sun Absolute was called Geneotriamatsikamniano. This contact caused the Teomegalogos (Solar Logoic Force) to be altered and the result of this alteration in the Teomegalogos was felt all the way through the solar system.

So then what happened is that the Sacred Sun Absolute began to send out radiations and energies to the beings that were creating the solar bodies and were already adepts that damaged the superior parts of their being. So then because of that damage done to the superior pars of the Being, the Absolute had to create the purgatory planets in every solar system to provide a place where these affected Beings could spend time dissolving those last undesirable elements from their psyche.

Meaning for Us

Master Samael says that any person who is working and yearning for their realisation has to know about the Purgatory Planet. This is because it may well be that such a person has to go there to finish off the very last stages of their work.

He says that whoever wishes to return to the Sacred Absolute Sun must spend some time there in the Purgatory planet dissolving those undesirable elements which Master Samael says belong to the soul, he says that they are the “sins of the soul”.

He says that these “sins of the soul” are those sins that are beyond our comprehension and our code of ethics.

Master Samael says that the Sacred Sun Absolute creates a purgatory planet so to teach us how to perfect our purification.

In conclusion now, the Purgatory Planet Master Samael says is the place where we must go to complete our very last purification before we can enter the Sacred Sun Absolute.

Do We Need Desires? – (2582)

Thee Good Desires

We have desires, all sorts, yes we know, but there desires that we often ignore are those that are about us doing this or that for our apparent good.

These desires appear to be in place to improve our life but actually embitter our life and make our life much more stressful. Because we apply pressure on ourselves and we live life in the should and never being able to fulfill to should.

As a result we start to become disconnected from our life and we start to no live in our life. We live in the future and in frustration and in disappointment.

Those desires stop us from accepting and trusting our life. We think that we must be pushing ahead with things. Yes we can be but within what our very own precious life gives to us from moment to moment.


Accept and Trust

To accept and trust our life is conquer a bit of humility and some trust in our very own inner Being. Because it is our very own inner Being that sets up the didactic of learning in our life.

So much of what we think that we need for our own good, we don’t need at all. What we need our inner Being sets up for us to go through, to study, to learn, to experience etc.

If the impulses that surge in us are possible and achievable they can be done, and perhaps they have come to us as a message from our inner Being.

Definitely with these desires cleared away from our system we can be at more peace and live more in our actual and real life. Rather in the life that we desire and is currently not our life.

Jealousy is about Quantifying or Qualifying Love – (2581)

Fall into Trouble

The trick with floating above the many jealous “I’s” that we have is to know that we are loved and that we love the person and most importantly to rest in that - DO NOT TRY TO QUANTIFY OR QUALIFY LOVE!

As soon as we go to try to qualify or quantify the love that the person has for us, we fall into lots of pain.

Pain arises because to try to qualify or quantify love is to fall into relativity and duality, and relativity  and duality (comparison) only brings pain. The consciousness is not pain because it is outside of relativity and duality.

We try to qualify or quantify pain because of fear. The mind looks for a way to relieve the fear and it can only do it through relativity. It has to try and compare love.


When the comparison measure results in our favour the mind is relieved and jealousy subsides. When the comparison result is not in our favour, jealousy goes into action, complaining, protesting and it engages all the various strategies that I wrote about in a previous post – which function all trying to make the comparison result come into our favour again.

Conclusion

We must allow our consciousness to relieve, cool down, assure, pacify or cause our whole psychology to be at peace. This comes to us when we know that we are loved and that we love and that we understand that the best thing to do is rest in that and not compare.

The Esoteric Vestment - (2580)

A Vestment - A Tunic

A tunic is associated in nearly everyone's mind with something spiritual, religious or magical. All esoteric art depicts the Divine Hierarchies (angels, archangels, thrones, powers, dominions etc.) wearing a tunic or vestment of some sort. Even when God is depicted, God apart from being depicted as a 'He' (really God is Father-Mother), is depicted wearing a tunic, usually white in colour.

Physically

In the pure physical side of things we have clothes to protect us from the elements, and the type of clothing worn depends very much on the nature of the event we are present in. Much can be read from the way we are dressed and much can be transmitted to others etc.

We are not born clothed and to be clothed requires some merit and so clothing can denote nobility, authority, identification, function, role etc. giving clothing a kind of distinguishing and identifying function as well.

So, clothing protects and denotes the nature of human activity. A psychological use (provocation, protest, pride etc.) may also be made of clothing, which is another thing. Now - to what this post is really about.


Esoteric Vestment

Strictly in the realm of esotericism a vestment is considered to be a sheath, a coating, a covering that is the result of some labour and merit. A vestment in the esoteric sense as in the physical sense is something that has been added to our nature. Though esoteric vestments are those that pertain to our inner nature.

The solar bodies are considered to be a vestment of the soul. Just as our physical body is what houses our essence. By nature the essence is naked and what stops making a Monad a virginal spark (naked) are the solar bodies. Which are coverings that are made from increasingly superior and refined substances of the cosmos which have their source in our own sexual energy.

So then the vestments that are the solar bodies cover the soul and identify the Being possessing the solar bodies as one who is self-realised. 

Furthermore the vestment that the inner Being of anyone one of us may be seen to be wearing indicates: values, merits, ray, function, hierarchy, esoteric degree etc.

A vestment is a sign in the general sense, of esoteric and psychological work. It is the result of transmutation and it serves as a means of identification, as well as being the appropriate attire for esoteric or spiritual activity.

End (2580). 

Fear of Animals - (2579)

That Fear

So often you find a person who is scared of cockroaches, mice, rats, spiders, snakes, lizards, dogs, wolves, large cats and so on...


First Point

The very first point to work this fear of the animal or insect that we are scared of is, our dislike or rejection of it.

Have you noticed that the insect or animal that we fear we regard as something awful, cruel and almost evil? 

Firstly though, they are not evil, they are just instinctive. Well esoterically though they may, in the wash of involution be a vehicle for some "I's" that are very nasty. Though, we also have "I's" that are just as nasty. We do not regard ourselves or others as evil so why should we regard the animal that we fear as evil?

Secondly, we can look well at the animal and find beauty in it. A lizard may look like a walking pooh to us, and it is exactly that concept of it that contributes to our fear. So then if we can change that concept we will dissolve a good part of that fear.

So we have to go close to the insect or animal that we fear and take a good look at it. Say for example a lizard, see that it does not smell and it is alive, intelligent and has a very sleek and elegant body with some very interesting patterns on it. As soon as you see some beauty, some intelligence in its design something changes in us. We can read about the animal or insect and change our concept further and further and that will certainly contribute to dissolving our fear. 

There are those people on TV shows that are not scared of animals or insects mainly because they are in awe of them. Note, this fear of animals is called zoophobia.

Work on Fear Classically

Then to complete the work we must delve into the classical work on fear which is to see that we do not fear the animal or insect at all but the consequences of things going wrong when encountering them. Then the fear reduces down to the very common fear that we all work on which is the fear of pain and suffering and death. Then trust in the Being within comes as our remedy.

Demiurge Architect – (2577)

Introduction - Associated with Gnosis

Quite often when new people come to public talks they ask about or mention the word Demiurge. I frankly was not really well versed in what really who or what is the Demiurge. All, that I really knew was that it can be looked upon by some as negative, that is as the 'bad guy' in the story.

So, in order to remedy my ignorance of the Demiurge, I am writing this post.

Fire as the architect of the Universe.

The Word – Demiurge

First things first, let’s shine the spotlight on the word; 'Demiurge'.

Demiurge is an English word stemming from the word demiurgus which is the Latin version of the original Greek word demiourgos.

It is said that demiourgos in Greek was a common noun referring to ‘artisan’ or ‘craftsman’. In time though it came to be used as ‘creator’ or ‘producer’. This meaning of the Greek word demiourgos comes from Plato’s work "Timaeus" where the word is assigned to a character who has the role of being the creator of the material world.

Various other platonic schools such as Neoplatonism and Middle Platonism hold this version of the Demiruge as being a benevolent creator who created the material world out of imperfect matter thus making the material world imperfect.

Master Samael on the Demiurge

Scouring through Master Samael’s works and talks, the Demiurge is indeed considered to be the creator, but a Divine creator.

Master Samael says that the Demiurge Architect of the Universe is the Army of the Word, which is a unity and which is also known as the Elohim. He says that it is the Cosmic Christ that is present in everything created. He also says that the Demiurge is the Fire! Which creates and organises creation.

As an interesting aside, Master Samael says that the Demiurge Architect is Adi-Buddha. Which we know resides in AIN SOPH AUR, from which the Ray of Okidanoch emanates from. Adi-Budha is also the prototype of Kether in the Absolute. So then, the Demiurge Architect of the Universe is all of our Beings united together as one fulfilling the function of creating.

For Master Samael the Demiurge is something Divine and of the Absolute. It is the Fire for him, which is Divine and which is redeeming and responsible for creation. Certainly for Master Samael the Demiurge Architect is not malevolent nor the ‘bad guy’ of the story of creation.

Demiurge often depicted as a serpent with a lion's head.

Various Excerpts

1.

"The Unmanifest, the Unknowable, is Aelohim. Moses worshiped Aelohim. The Manifested One, the Second One, is the Demiurge Architect of the Universe, it is the Fire, it is the Cosmic Chrestos; It is Vishnu, who can penetrate everything that is, has been and will be. Obviously, the reason of being of the Manifested Logos is to create and re-create. "

“El Inmanifestado, el Incognoscible, es Aelohim. Moisés rindió culto a Aelohim. El Manifestado, el Segundo Uno, es el Demiurgo Arquitecto del Universo, es el Fuego, es el Chrestos Cósmico; es Vishnu, el cual puede penetrar en todo lo que es, ha sido y será. Obviamente, la razón de ser del Logos Manifestado es crear y volver nuevamente a crear.”

2.

“he is the Demiurge of the Greeks, the Platonic Logos, the Great Principle of Nature vibrating in every atom, making each Sun shudder, it is the CREATING FIRE of the first instant ...”

“es el Demiurgo de los griegos, el Logos platónico, el Principio Ingente de la Naturaleza haciendo vibrar cada átomo, hacienda estremecer cada Sol, es el FUEGO CREADOR del primer instante...”

3.

“First of all I have to say, emphatically and with complete clarity, that Quetzalcoatl is not a myth. Unquestionably, Quetzalcoatl is the VERB, it is THE GREAT WORD, it is the PLATONIC LOGOS, the DEMIURGE ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE, the CREATIVE FIRE ...”

“Ante todo he de decir, en forma enfática y con entera claridad, que Quetzalcóatl no es un mito. Incuestionablemente, Quetzalcóatl es el VERBO, es LA GRAN PALABRA, es el LOGOS PLATÓ-NICO, el DEMIURGO ARQUITECTO DEL UNIVERSO, el FUEGO CREADOR...”

 4.

“Remember, my dear brothers, that there are two Ones. The First One is AELOHIM; the Second One is ELOHIM; the First One is the UNMANIFESTED, the UNKNOWABLE, the Divinity that can not be drawn, nor symbolized, nor burned. The Second One, springs from the first One and is the ARCHITECT DEMIURGE OF THE UNIVERSE: Fire.”

“Recuerden ustedes mis queridos hermanos, que hay dos UNOS. El Primer Uno es AELOHIM; el Segundo Uno es ELOHIM; el Primer Uno es el INMANIFESTADO, el INCOGNOSCIBLE, la Divinidad que no se puede pintar, ni simbolizar, ni burilar. El Segundo Uno, brota del primer Uno y es el DEMIURGO ARQUITECTO DEL UNIVERSO: el Fuego.”

M. Obviously! The Ten Sephiroths have to Self-Realize themselves; and anyone who achieves the Intimate Self-Realization of his Ten Kabbalistic Sephiroths, BECOMES ELOHIM; that's obvious. But I repeat: One thing is the Elohim, as part of the Creator Demiurge of the Universe, and another thing is Adi-Buddha, the Unmanifested.

“M. ¡Obviamente! Los Diez Sephirotes hay que Autorrealizarlos; y todo aquél que logre la Autorrealización Íntima de sus Diez Sephirotes kabalísticos, SE CONVIERTE EN ELOHIM; eso es obvio. Pero repito: Una cosa es el Elohim, como parte del Demiurgo Creador del Universo, y otra cosa es Adi-Buddha, el Inmanifestado.”

“Christ must give life to our Body, it must develop in our organism as Living and Philosophical Fire; it must burn in our Consciousness, that is, in our Soul, and it must shine in our Spirit. Here are the three steps of the Demiurge Architect, that is, the Fire.

INRI (Ignis Natura Renovatur Integram, Fire renews nature incessantly).

It is necessary to renew the body by means of Fire; we must bring the Fire to our Soul and we must take it to our Spirit.

The Fire, descending, shines in our Spirit, becomes fecund in our Soul and transforms our body; this is the three steps of the Christus in the seven Regions of this Universe.”

“Cristo ha de dar vida a nuestro Cuerpo, ha de desarrollarse en nuestro organismo como Fuego Viviente y Filosofal; ha de arder en nuestra Conciencia, es decir, en nuestra Alma, y ha de resplandecer en nuestro Espíritu. He ahí los tres pasos del Demiurgo Arquitecto, es decir, del Fuego.

INRI (Ignis Natura Renovatur Integram, el Fuego renueva incesantemente la Naturaleza).

Hay que renovar el cuerpo por medio del Fuego; hay que llevar el Fuego a nuestra Alma y hay que llevarlo a nuestro Espíritu.

El Fuego, descendiendo, resplandece en nuestro Espíritu, se hace fecundo en nuestra Alma y transforma nuestro cuerpo; así son los tres pasos del Christus en las siete Regiones de este Universo.”


Demiurge and Classic Gnosticism

“Gnosticism presents a distinction between the highest, unknowable God and the demiurgic "creator" of the material. Several systems of Gnostic thought present the Demiurge as antagonistic to the will of the Supreme Being: his act of creation occurs in an unconscious semblance of the divine model, and thus is fundamentally flawed, or else is formed with the malevolent intention of entrapping aspects of the divine in materiality. Thus, in such systems, the Demiurge acts as a solution to (or, at least possibly, the problem or cause that gives rise to the problem of evil.”

There are various old classic Gnostic myths that go along the lines of:

One Gnostic mythos describes the declination of aspects of the divine into human form. Sophia (Greek: Σοφία, lit. "wisdom"), the Demiurge's mother a partial aspect of the divine Pleroma or "Fullness," desired to create something apart from the divine totality, without the receipt of divine assent. In this act of separate creation, she gave birth to the monstrous Demiurge and, being ashamed of her deed, wrapped him in a cloud and created a throne for him within it. The Demiurge, isolated, did not behold his mother, nor anyone else, and concluded that only he existed, ignorant of the superior levels of reality.

The Demiurge, having received a portion of power from his mother, sets about a work of creation in unconscious imitation of the superior Pleromatic realm: He frames the seven heavens, as well as all material and animal things, according to forms furnished by his mother; working however blindly, and ignorant even of the existence of the mother who is the source of all his energy. He is blind to all that is spiritual, but he is king over the other two provinces. The word dēmiourgos properly describes his relation to the material; he is the father of that which is animal like himself.

Thus Sophia's power becomes enclosed within the material forms of humanity, themselves entrapped within the material universe: the goal of Gnostic movements was typically the awakening of this spark, which permitted a return by the subject to the superior, non-material realities which were its primal source”

These myths really depict the ego within ourselves though because people no longer see the ego within they start to think that the demiurge of these Gnostic myths is the real creator of the world. But they are wrong, the Gnostics were referring to the 'ego'.

Why the ‘Bad Guy’?

All because of the false demiurge. There is yes, a false demiurge architect of the universe, and it is no other than the ego, the ‘myself’ that we all carry within.

What has happened is that people have stopped seeing the ego in themselves and have attributed this world of much pain and suffering to have been created by a flawed creator, which they have called the Demiurge. But really the real Demiurge as Master Samael describes does not have anything to do with the creator of all of this pain and suffering, of whom the creator is the false demiurge, which is the ego in us.

Ego as the False Demiurge

As the real Demiurge creates the universe, the material word, the false demiurge - the ego creates a world as well.

Is not the ego an answer to every occasion of life? Does not the ego wish through the technology and science of the Anti-Christ, to create a world separate from the Divine Being in all of us. A world that does not even need to remember the Divine Being?

The will of the ego works tirelessly to maintain ourselves in a life separate from our inner Being or the Divine in us and outside of us.

The interesting thing though is who created the ego? And who maintains the ego? Who managed to create the whole structure of the ego such that it takes care of every corner of our life? Some force, some intelligence perhaps? Perhaps the Archons of the Law? Or perhaps ourselves and behind that our Being? Anyway when the Being decides it is enough, It throws down the false demiurge (the ego) and realises itself.

Summary and Final Comments

So, the word Demiurge comes originally from Greek and means creator, where it was really Plato that gave the word this meaning.

Gnosis as taught by Master Samael sees the demiurge as the creating Divine Fire or the Cosmic Christ.

The reason why it is seen in a negative light is because of the ego which within us fulfils that role of demiurge creating a world of pain and suffering, and the architect of that painful world is our karma and the ‘myself’, which is the father of the three furies. Ultimately though our fall created the "I" and the "I" created the false world in which it lives separate and devoid of the Divine Being in us,

Four Worlds of Kabbalah and How the Being Helps Us – (5364)

Introduction

This post is about an excerpt from a talk that Master Samael gave. He talks about the four worlds of Kabbalah and how our inner Being helps us through these four worlds.


Aziluth, Briah, Yetzirath and Assiah

A summary of what Master Samael says provided here below:

Aziluth

Aziluth is the world of splendours, the world of the Sephirotic crown, the world of great happiness.

Briah

Briah is the world of the Spirit. There in Briah is Atman, Buddhi, Manas or Chesed, Geburah and Tiphereth.

Yetzirath

In Yetzirath is found the astral and mental worlds.

Assiah

In Assiah is the physical world and the abyss.

All four words overlap and manage their functions and processes intelligently without clashing.

Ancient of the Days and the Four Worlds

In principle Master Samael says that the Ancient of the Days (our Kether) participates in all four worlds. He says that the Logos (our Kether, Chockmah, Binah) directly manages all the Sephirots.

The way Kether manifests in the world of Aziluth is by Itself and the way Kether manifests in the world of Briah is through Atman. The way Kether manifests through the worlds of Yetzirath (mental and astral) is through the Divine Hierarchies, that is through the Masters, Archangels, Angels etc. in the mental, astral and physical worlds.

The way Kether manifests through the world of Assiah is through the chakras of the planet Earth, through the signs of the Zodiac, through the Tattwas and other vibrations. Unfortunately, Kether can not act in the worlds of Yetzirath and Assiah directly. To act, He needs intermediaries.


Conclusion

Our inner Being always tries to help us. He can do so directly up to a certain point. But after that He uses others to help us. Those others are intermediaries and they are the divine hierarchies in the mental and astral and also the physical masters who are here with us, as well as mother nature. Through mother nature (chakras of the planet, tattwas and vibrations) our inner Being can help us. So a short trip to the country is not so bad now and then.

A Bit About the Protocosmos – (2576)

Introduction

When explaining the seven cosmoses, the first cosmos or the first level of creation is the most difficult to explain as there is not too much information available and that this level of creation is not physical – no physical manifestation.

I recently found a passage in the “El Quinto Evangelio” where Master Samael talked a bit about he protocosmos.


Sacred Absolute Sun

Master Samael says that the protocosmos is made up of all the sacred absolute suns. He says that every solar system has its particular Sacred Absolute Sun.

He goes to say that behind every sun is a Sacred Absolute Sun. It is the spiritual animating force behind each and every sun.

Master Samael also says that the Sacred Absolute Sun is the AIN SOPH AUR, which we know as the outer of the three layers of the Absolute.

He says also that the ray of creation called the Holy Okidanoch emanates from the Sacred absolute Sun.

Conclusion

This then tells us that the first level of creation the Protocosmos is the outer layer of the Absolute, and it is a level of creation, the most spiritual level of creation.

Master Samael says that there are many Sacred absolute Suns and they are all united amongst each other and the one unity of life rules them and reigns within them.

What Makes You Happy – A Result in the Work – (2574)

Something that transforms you is working honestly hard and seeing a result appear in ourselves.

This can only spur you on!


Such an experience renews your conviction and breathes new life in our inner constitution, where we can work again to repeat the uncompleted task.


When we are struggling in the work, one way to change the struggle is to do something that we know works.

End (2574).

Atoms of Will Freed – (2573)

When we pray to the Divine Mother and ask here to eliminate an ego and out of that practice surges the feeling and decision that we deeply want the essence and not the weakness of the ego anymore, we can know that we have freed some atoms of will from the ego.

When we carry out elimination practices (KRIM) with honesty and sincerely then one day soon we will feel these atoms being freed from the ego and they will join with the atoms of the already freed will in our essence... and strength will begin to build in us atom by atom.

End (2573).

Rest in that: Love is Hard to Define - (2572)

There is a definite art to love.

There is the ‘way of love’ and the egos that we have do not know that way. They are ignorant of how to cultivate (grow) love, how to feed it (maintain), how to deepen it and how to balance it (conscious love).

The many egos that we have, that are related to love, do not really know how to love…

But we all know how to love…

If we could relax, quieten our mind and allow the flow of love to move from inside outwards, not allowing our mind or any ego to divert, block or interfere… then we would learn how to love.

The egos that we have, have their idea of what love is like or how it should be like…

One point of understanding to do with love is to know that it can not be tied down or completely defined. And so all of our very clearly defined “should be this way” and “that way” leave us very confused and thinking that there is no love, all the while love is there or may be there…

Love lives outside our definitions and sometimes within our definitions. But what is better is to focus on the love living inside of us. Cultivating it, enrichening it, deepening it and expressing it.

Love knows that when we are in the right we can apologise sometimes, it knows that when we do not have to obey we can obey, it knows how to refrain for love of the other...

There are several types of love (sensual, emotional and conscious) and there is love for others as well as love for ourselves and love for the Being which is a higher expression of ourselves.

Love surprises and, love returns yet it is always not far away to be called from within the heart. Love pulsates, it intensifies and then it rests.

The love we may be missing maybe only thought to be missing... In most cases this is how it is. How rules on love misinterpret love.

Some people even say that the only love is really the love for the Being, and out of that love pours the love for our fellow man.

One day the guy who talks so much about love does something with his anger that leaves you gobsmacked and the always cold and neutral guy does something of such warmth that a tear wells up in your eye.

Master Rabalu said that love really begins and we can really love when the Kundalini a person awakens.
