Don’t Mess with a Gnostic Group – Post 4 – (2727)

Not a Social Group but an Esoteric Group

Understanding that a Gnostic group is essentially an esoteric group helps us very much so to understand why a Gnostic group is the way it is.

It is certainly not a social group nor a charity group. It is a group that helps each other esoterically.

This has to be well understood. Because if not we can become very disappointed with a Gnostic group. We can not expect things from something that it is not in its nature to provide. For example, we can not expect a cat to bark at us. We will always get a meow!

So we can’t expect great friendship, financial support, comradery, adventures, romantic love affairs, etc. because these things do not belong to the esoteric nature of things.


Because it is esoteric many strange things happen that we can’t explain.

Business in a Gnostic group always fails. An esoteric group is to advance the spirit not the pockets. So, it always turns out that to give without return payment is best.

Family member benefits or privileges in a Gnostic group fail. In fact, it is only worthwhile to bring family members to Gnosis when they really want to work on themselves. Sentimentalism and emotions do fly in esotericism, what flies is justice, hard work, actions and merits.

We can see here that in esotericism different principles and laws are at work, different principles and natures to those of a human social group, and because a Gnostic group is an esoteric group, different laws, natures and principles govern that group making it very different to what we commonly know.

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...
