Why 108 Lives? - (3138)

Answer: 12 x 9 = 108

9

The number 9 is related to the nine months of human gestation. Also the nine Dantean circles below us and the nine heavens or Sephiroths above. Our passage into heaven or the abyss goes through nine levels, that is nine degrees of absorption or maturation.

12

The number 12 is related to the Zodiac. Also to the 12 smaller cycles (months) in the greater cycle of a year. The 12 zodiacal constellations, 12 apostles etc.

Therefore 108 lives represents a human being's gestation in the matrix (womb) of the Zodiac. 


We may then infer that in a human being's trajectory through 108 lives, there would be considerable travel from one sign of the Zodiac to another. We need experience and learn from each zodiacal influence. 

Final Comment

It is also worthwhile noting here what Master Samael says in relation to human gestation. He says that during gestation a human being passes through the 'four', that is the four stages of: mineral, vegetable, animal and humanoid. The nine months of human gestation prepare us for life on Earth, and completes our entry into life on Earth. Just as the nine heavens lead us into full absorption as a celestial citizen, as a realized one.

Once that 'human life on Earth' gestation is complete we are then ready to move onto the next step, which is either gestation in heaven or gestation in the underworld. Many Gnostic people right now are at this point. They have lived already many of their 108 lives and are currently in the process of defining themselves to begin their gestation in heaven or in the abyss.

End (3138).

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...
