Master Samael About How the Christ is Fire – (2538)

Introduction

This is a wonderful passage from a talk given by Master Samael. Here he explains what I have been wanting to find about the fire for a long time. The last five paragraphs I find a very relevant to us. It basically says that everything is fire and our own essence is fire. It seems in general that prana and energy in general is a form a fire.


Excerpt

“The Christ is not an Individual, he is not a person, he is not a Self; Christ is a Cosmic Force that is latent in every atom of the Universe, it is the UNIVERSAL FIRE OF LIFE (that is how to understand it), it is Fire.

I was at the dawn of the Maha-Manvantara and I witnessed the dawn of life. When the Army of the Word began to make the Chaotic Matter fertile so that life could rise, I saw the Cosmic Christ take human form, I saw him enter the Temple and sign a covenant to crucify himself on the cross to save Men and Gods ...

The Christ is the Universal Fire of Life. A lot could be said about the Christ and I will tell you the following: The Christ is defined with four letters that are on the cross of the martyr of Calvary (INRI, IGNIS NATURA RENOVATUR INTEGRAM (fire renews nature incessantly).

The Fire is crucified here, on Earth. If we hit one stone with another, fire leaps out. Where is the place from where the flame leaps out from? From the same water is where the liquid fire hides, in the stones the mineral fire, in air the gaseous fire. So, then, Fire is in everything that is, it has been and will be; Fire has no beginning or end.

If we strike a match, we will see with amazement that a flame bursts forth. It is said that "the flame that is the match, is the product of combustion", but such a concept is false. We assert that combustion exists due to fire, there could be no combustion without fire.

Fire was enclosed there, within the matter that of the match; with striking the match what was achieved was to release the flame so that it will ignite fully. Fire makes the hand to move to strike the match; without Fire, without life, that hand can not move; fire is latent there, otherwise fire would not appear, because nothing comes out of nothing.

Fire maintains, in its processes, all existing organisms, all human species, all animal species and all that is, all that has been and all that will be.

Fire, in itself, is sacred. Who knows the nature of Fire? Nobody, right?

Life itself exists by Fire; more so THE ESSENCE ITSELF IS LIVING FIRE. When that Essence (which is Fire) comes into existence, the creature is formed and born; when the Fire (the Essence) abandons the physical body, the body dies. So, we come to the world by Fire and we go when Fire abandons us

Now, what we Gnostics are interested in is not so much Physical Fire, but the fire of the fire, the flame of the flame - the ASTRAL SIGNATURE OF FIRE. This, in itself, is the Intimate Christ; only He can (from within) save us and finish destroying the undesirable elements that we carry within us.”

End (2538).

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...
