Elementals 2: More on What - (2941)

Elemental - Essence of a Virginal Spark
Master Samael is pretty clear when speaking about the elementals. 

He essentially says that they are essences whom derive from a virginal spark (does not have self-realisation yet) of the Great Universal Fire of Life. That is, an elemental is an essence, whom has a Monad or a Real Being just as we do.

He says that the essences of the Monads who descended from the Absolute into creation began their presence in creation as mineral elementals in the first round of creation, then as vegetable elementals in the second round, then as animal elementals in the third round, then in the fourth round as human elementals.

The word elemental brings us the idea of the most basic, the simplest state or stage or substance. So that is what an elemental is, an essence which is the simplest part of the Monad, the bare essentials of the Monad.  

So then there are several types of elementals, there are those who have a physical body, whether it be that they belong to the mineral, vegetable, animal or human kingdom and those that do not have a physical body. 


Master Samael says that the elementals of a mineral and or plant is not bound to the physical body, it can move and leave it at will.

Then there are the Devas, the Guru Devas which are those that provide the design and function for the creatures in Nature, in which the elementals inhabit.

The other elementals that do not have a physical body fulfill certain other functions, of which to name are few are to protect sacred places and to act as guardian spirits. 

The elementals are needed in creation, they are the ones that infuse and supply nature with its life force. We obviously need them, if they were to leave then we could not survive.

They are creatures of the Almighty Creator and as such, and unlike us obey its will.

They could easily destroy us if they wanted and we can harm nature as well. So certainly we should not have the idea that they are totally subordinate to us. More about that in the next post.

End (2941).

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...
