Hold the Value - Transmutation Teaches - (3301)

I understand more why the whole work is all sexual now. 

Not because it is all about sex, hell no, but because the foundations are right there present int eh great teaching of the transmutation.

Transmutation teaches us to hold what is of value and furthermore transform it into something of greater value.

When we are being insulted, we are initially quiet. Right then when we are quiet we are holding our values. The values of dignity, and balance. We are holding ourselves with dignity and control - stability. When we react with pride to insult back, we let go of the values - just like loosing the energy.

When we hold the values we can transform them When we expel them we can not transform them positively. Instead a negative transformation takes place.

If we are to hold these values inside of us and then exercise them inside of ourselves, instead of outside we can shock them into a higher quality octave.

An example is with pride we don't apply dignity or balance inside of ourselves we expel it and apply it onto the other person- insulting them. We have to keep it inside of ourselves and then apply it within ourselves. 

Seeing that it is much better to look after the dignity of our essence by not reacting, by seeing where we are wrong, by not reacting so as to seek harmony and extending the Being within us.

Seems All Books Written and Read - (3300)

If you ever wanted to write a book, you will find that it has already been written. It seems that any idea that you could have for a book has been covered.

If a book has been written for every idea, then a book can be read for every idea.

What's left then? Not much else, but to write your own master piece in the book of life, and read the book of your inner life - with its many mysterious chapters.

Psychological Man Series: 1.5 - (3299)

To have the psychological man forming in you is something quite new and different to what the person has known about him or herself.

It is like a new person has begun to form within you, a person that has the real capacity to do the work, that is a person, dedicated to the psychological work. Also a person that can listen to that guidance from within and a person that has the capacity to follow that guidance.

We really I reckon need to create the inner man within us.

It starts with the creation of the seminal pearl.

All Thinking has Reference Point Foundations

Psychological thinking is no different to any other type of thinking. It is based upon certain values, truths, laws or principles etc.

If we are to think karmically or with cause and effect we have to have the law of karma as the reference point foundation.

There is no way that we could think karmically if we did not know the law of karma.

So to think psychologically we need to understand well the laws and principles of the psychological work.

The laws and principles of the psychological work all start by knowing our psychology in reality. That is how our psychology really is.

Our psychological reality is that we have an essence and that essence is fragmented and conditioned in very specific and particular ways all designed to produce a particular answer to the events of life.

End (3298).

Psychological Man Series: 2 - (3297)

Introduction

As mentioned before, the psychological man is the one who thinks psychologically. So to develop the theme of the psychological man or person within our interior we need to first know what psychological thinking is so that we can develop it.

Psychological Thinking

Psychological thinking is to think by virtue of the psychological work. Don't worry I will expand upon this.

Psychology is the link between the physical and the esoteric. Psychological thinking starts with the three dimensional physical thinking and ends with esoteric thinking. It is the go between the two realities.

To arrive at the esoteric way of thinking we must develop the psychological way of thinking first.

Start of Psychological Thinking

The first important point to do with psychological thinking is what Master Samael says, which is to understand that every person has their particular psychology.

We don't so easily see that - believe it or not. We only perceive something like air or a kind of empty space in our head. We don't realise that we have a particular psychology.

So then if we have a specific psychology the most logical question to ask is: "If I have a particular psychology then how is it? What does it look like? What colour is it, how does it smell, how does it feel etc. etc.?"

Understanding that we have a particular psychology has several profound implications.

We first of all don't so easily see our particular psychology, we only see it when our psychology comes into contact with the psychology of others. That is - when our psychology clashes with the psychology of others. Through that clash we can get to know our psychology.

So we need the clashes with other people. When we clash we should be very observant to catch information about our own psychology - in particular about how it is, how is it all set up, and in what direction does it point to etc.   

End (3297).

Psychological Man Series: 1 - (3296)

Introduction

For all of us working on ourselves there exists the possibility of the psychological man.

Master Samael says that we have to create the psychological man within ourselves.

Psychological Man

What is the psychological man then?

The psychological man is the one who thinks psychologically.

The psychological man is the same as the inner man that Master Samael mentions.

To understand who and what the psychological man is we have to know what psychological thinking is.

Human Soul

The psychological man is very related to the human soul. The human soul in turn is very related to the Intimate Christ.

Master Samael says that the terrestrial man obeys the inner man and the inner man obeys the Father.

Master Samael further says that we need to make this differentiation within us and create this separation or this split, which is the terrestrial man, the inner or psychological and the inner Being.

The plan with this series is to write about the formation of the psychological man and about its qualities.

Forecasting Post Drought - (3295)

Just to let you know. For the next two weeks, posts will be running very thin - most likely nil due to attending a retreat.

Read more from me after a week or two.

End (3295).

A Whole Concept and Outlook Based on a Feeling or Sensation - (3294)

What is silly of us to do is to make the psychological mistake of basing a whole concept or outlook or attitude within ourselves based on a feeling or sensation.

We can even create and ego out of that and see everything it that field through or by virtue of that feeling or sensation. 

This is an error of psychological type. We can overcome it easily by stopping to think or see by virtue of that and look too see the so many other details and aspects involved.

End (3294).

Retreats: Many, Come and Go, Sweet, Work Continues... - (3293)

The nature of Gnostic or spiritual retreats is a little interesting I think.

In the life of a Gnostic person there are so many that are organised and so many that one attends.

There is much expectation leading up to some, especially the big ones, the ones where there is substantial travelling involved. 

The lead up can be long but the retreat itself flies.

The experience is so varied but a general feeling is that a retreat is like a train ride, one boards and is take through a lovely, fascinating journey within oneself then one gets off a little dizzy, back into life again, where we boarded. Back to face our reality.

Our work must continue - hopefully in a slight more enriched way using what we have learnt in the retreat. Retreat or no retreat our work must continue...

End (3293).

Crystallise Psychological Thinking - (3292)

Psychological thinking is the mind set for the psychological work. 

If we have not established the psychological way of thinking within us, we are going to fail in the work.

The reason why we have so much trouble in the work on the ego is because we have not as yet fixed these truths within us. That is we have not understood the well enough.

The psychological work is based on certain psychological and esoteric truths well understood.

We have to end up crystallizing these truths within our psyche.

That is essentially the work that we need to do.

End (3292).

Help and Support - Eternal Chain Upheld - (3291)

The way in Gnosis to help and support is to help and support the person to be able to help and support him or herself.

That way is to not make a person unnecessarily dependent on another.

When a person acquires the ability to help and support him or herself, then they can help others. Naturally they will help others to support and help themselves and so the chain continues. 

When one does not help him or herself the chain stops and withers.

No one can dissolve our own egos but we are taught how to and the Gnostic groups give one the support to do it!

In the beginning I wanted to be helped this way but you come to understand that it is not the best way to be helped and it does not help others, it is a selfish way to go about things. This takes a while to see and accept and later embrace.

End (3291).

What More we Are - (3290)

We are the essence we know that, but really we should refine that a bit and say that we are the really the awakened essence. Because that part of the essence that is awake knows itself and recognizes that that its what it is, an essence. The sleeping part of the essence does not recognize its own self.

The essence can be asleep and conditions, it can also be asleep and free or it can be awake and free.

The sleeping and conditioned parts of the essence are the egos and in our psychological work, we work to dissolve that conditioning. While working to dissolve that conditioning we understand that that conditioning is not us. But still it is a part of us that is conditioned but eh conditioning is not us. That is what we separate from - the conditioning.

End (3290).

Poles of Uranus Perhaps Now Favour Women - (3289)

Master Samael says that the planet Uranus is related to human sexuality. Particularly the two facets - masculine naf feminine.

At one point in time one of the poles of Uranus will be facing the sun. It so happens he explains that when the positive pole faces the sun, men receive certain forces that tend to make them more dominant. When the situation changes and the oppsoite pole faces the sun, women tend to be more dominant.

Master Samael never specified when the poles change, so that we could work out when men will be more dominant and when women will. All he said was that one pole faces the sun for 42 years and vice versa.

Master Samael says that the sexual cycle of the human being is 84 years which is twice 42. Which is almost about the average life expentancy of a human being as well these days.

In this post I am daring to put my opinion forward to say that it certainly seems that women have been receiving a new kind of force that was not present some decades ago. This influence, I see is contributing to make them more and more equal and in some areas leaders.

More and more though these days things are more and more mixed less and less as clearly defined as in previous times. So when the esoteric principles act over humanity instead of producing exact clearly defined moulds tendencies are produced are instead.

So we can't expect this to be exactly true black and white, with women having total dominance but a strong tendency instead for women to be dominant.

End (3289).

Transmute a Haka - (3288)

A Haka is a very scary and very moving - emotive thing all at the same time.

I feel it is emotive and moving because it excites courage, valour, honour all those almost now a days extinct values. Especially if done at a funeral or a wedding, a Haka is very moving because you see in those doing the Haka their intensity and sincerity coming through in a kind of very fierce love, plus the guys who do the Haka really give it their all - they really integrate whole heartedly into what they are doing and that in anyone is always an inspiration.

So it is actually pretty awkward to watch one - well that is my experience. You feel scared and then you feel you are going to cry because of the emotion and in the end you don't know what to do with all your arising emotion. So you just try to hide it and feel stupid for doing so. 

Well the best I find is to smile and just breathe in deep and feel the intensity of those powerful emotions rise, and send them upwards within your interior space thinking of your inner Being.

Understanding that, in Him, in the Being is so many of those wonderful values like courage, valour, honesty, justice, loyalty, the warrior heart that will lance all at what it knows to be just etc.etc.

(That way is best because you honour the Haka and the efforts that are being made and you feel it -and you don't reject it either by pretending to be tough and unmoved by it. The reality is one of those guys doing the Haka would squash me flat in a few seconds so forget the fake straight face false toughness. Learning this is also helpful on how to take sincere congratulations for anything.)

Macho Man is not a 'Hard as Nails Muscle Man' but a Man Who Denies Lust - (3287)

Just that. Someone who can deny his or her desires, impulses and transform them is really a macho man. The rest is pale unto that.

It is easy to go to the gym and mechanically lift weights but to transform desire takes much more than that. Will, intelligence, knowledge, definition, understanding, love, emotion etc. The difficulty implicit in doing that outweighs the short lived pain you feel in your biceps are some repetitions.

End (3287).

Our Image is Better - is Tricky Business - (3287)

Pride and self-image are very related.

What happens in us is that we have our particular image, which with a bit of fantasy, we think is really good. Mostly we think our image is good - right - be honest!

So then, it so happens that we see another person and what we do immediately, or rather what pride does within us is to compare the image that we have of ourselves with the image that we create about another person we are looking at. Then we feel that our image is better than theirs. Then appears pride. Comparison and relativity always draw out pride.

We compare subconsciously, because it is a very unpleasant conversation topic to bring out into the open.

In conclusion, it is us comparing our image or identity that contributes to keeping us locked in some aspects of pride.

That is also the secret of how we feel better or superior etc. It is mostly based on comparing our image with the image we create of another person. None of these images are fact based so quite often pride gets it very wrong.

The image that we have of ourselves is mostly wrong, and needs lots of correcting. If we work within the confines of the knowledge of the psychological reality that we have, we will be able to displace some aspects of pride fairly readily.

End (3287).

The Three Fights and their Winners - (3286)

The sign of the infinite indicates as Master Samael says: the three types of fights that there are within human beings amongst their three brains.

Heart against heart, which is the most painful, intellect against sex and heart against intellect.

Usually the heart wins over the intellect and the intellect wins over sex. This is the usual pattern within the human being. 

With regards to the heart against heart fight, it is all about what has more heart than the other as to which side wins. It maybe that we have more heart in a superior value or less heart in an inferior value. Then the side with more heart, superior or inferior wins.

End (3286).

Waking Up - Always a Liberating Feeling but Either Joyful or Empty Shocking - (3284)

As a general rule we all wake usually in areas in increments. Also, every mini awakening is always to come closer to the truth or to reality.

Coming to embrace reality is either a relief and therefore ever so joyful or either a shock that requires us to accept reality. Usually before we accept the reality we feel empty and disbelieving.

However, in the latter case once reality is accepted we begin to feel the relief and are then empowered by the reality as it allows us new courses of action.

End (3284).

Forget Being a Hippie Environmental Warrior - (3283)

When we understand through the teachings of Gnosis that a person who transmutes their sexual energy, works in liberating and awakening their consciousness and does many practices such as meditation, prayer, runes and others, that all attract light and cosmic energies, one does wonders for the Earth and therefore for the environment.

This is because the Earth lives off of us. The more cosmic energy we attract and accumulate the more energy and the higher quality of energy we can transmit to the Earth for its vitality and nourishment.

What one can do this way can not be replaced by any hippy environmental warrior.

End (3283).

Disappointed in Someone? - (3281)

What happens when someone does something that disappoints us, is that we think very little about them is now valid and that most of what they have to say from now on plus what they have said in the past is all fake. All  a lie - all a sand castle.

We tend to wipe them off...

Even though they are wiped off in our mind they are not really wiped off. Life, society, others, the Divine Law, the masters do not process things that way.

In reality they still live, breathe, eat, sleep, talk, walk, work, interact with others and live like everyone else. They still have the same rights, equal to ours and they are still loved by others etc.

All of this shows us that we are wrong in thinking that they are not valid, because if that were true they would not be alive, or their existence would magically be erased and this is certainly not true. A Monad of a person and the essence of the Monad can not be erased...

What has to be erased is this erroneous way of thinking in our very own mind.

Thank goodness the Divine Law does not function as we do because our very own selves would not be here. We would have been erased many times already. Because how many people have we disappointed and how many people are we yet to disappoint?

What is your Egoic Pain? - (3282)

Is it the pain of rejection, the pain of being alone, the pain of desire, the pain of not achieving, the pain of not being good enough, the pain of not being strong enough, the pain of being abandoned,  of being neglected, unloved, alienated, being second, being excluded, being left out, being lied to, being belittled, etc. etc.?

There are all sorts of strong pains, and in relation to this particular pain we have to do some of the things that I mentioned in the previous post numbered: 3280.

End (3282).

Afraid of your Own Pain - (3280)

So many lifetime long things - desires, impulses, avoidance etc. branch out of this: "afraid of our own pain".

Hook or by crook we have to come to terms with us being able to cope with it and get through it.

If you have been through something that was painful then you have everything you need. You can get through anything else that comes. It will be hard and hurt but you will get through.

We have to teach ourselves and train ourselves to sit serenely in our pain. To endure it consciously. We have to teach ourselves to extract the worthy and valuable lessons from it. Pain always tells us that something in wrong inside of us. What is wrong we must find and fix.

Teach ourselves to find the root cause of the pain with serene concentrated investigation.

If we are not afraid of it we can take the next step to make it redundant in our life and therefore come to eliminate it.

End (3280).

Believe So Hard that the Divine Mother Will Dissolve the Ego - (3279)

We have to have an unshakable faith in our own Divine Mother.

A bullet proof faith that she can and will dissolve the ego!

With such a faith our dissolution will be intense. Chanting KRIM with such an intense faith is undeniably very powerful!

If you have faith in your heart right now, you will feel the power you have to support your Divine Mother in her work of dissolving our egos!

Do Your Hair Toss, Check Your Nails, How Ya Feelin? - (3278)

"If he don't love you anymore

Just walk your fine ass out the door

I do my hair toss

Check my nails

Baby how you feelin'?

Feeling good as hell"

I quite like that song which I have heard a few times on the radio.

Every man has a feminine side and every woman has a masculine side. For example, seeing a man at a park looking after very young children. Walking them in a pram, brushing the dirt off of them while they play and comforting them when they cry and come running to him.

In some men the feminine side it is easy to see, and in some women the masculine side is easy to see. In my boss for example, who is a woman, it is easy to see her masculine side. This lady is decisive, makes tough decisions on the spot and organises a whole room of men telling them to cut it short and get to the point. The wives of some missionaries can have quite a developed masculine side at times. This is not bad. 

Anyway the point of this post that has started off so silly, is that realizing that one has a feminine side for example in a man can have some interesting psychological implications. Very beneficial actually.

Every man has an eternal feminine principle within them, within their essence or consciousness. The lack of familiarity, acceptance and closeness to this creates as a compensation - lust.

One seeks externally what one forgets to look for internally.

Lust wants to have the opposite pole, and it may get it and then nothing, no change in one really occurs. But when one seeks for the opposite pole within and begins to accept that and develop a closeness to and know that this principle well and truly does dwell within, then that has indeed a significant impact on the work of working on lust. The divine feminine principle is the Divine Mother.

I was once told during my missionary course that "lust forgets the Mother and pride forgets the Father". Quite right!

Holy Macaroni - An Essence is a Spiritual Thing - (3275)

A very impact realization is realizing with our own consciousness that we are an essence and further to that, that the essence is something spiritual. 

This seems so simple, yet realized with the consciousness is it really powerful. Enough to make you faint.

To understand deeply that you are something spiritual is deeply and intimately revolutionary.

We are really and truly in nature of the same substance of the Divinity. The core of you the very you that you are is a spiritual thing - your essence is spiritual substance - not dense matter. 

Everyone else is exactly the same. Then we feel much closer tot eh Divinity and certain beliefs can be automatically shed, let go off.

End (3275).

Not Every Beggar is a King - (3277)

Sometimes we are so stupid thinking that every beggar we can come across in the street could be an awakened being in disguise. Certainly not! Perhaps a common thief with a big ego of lust.

Earth Esoteric - (3272)

Outline of Points Relevant to the Theme

Common Human Perception

We think that we and the Earth are separate. We do not think that we are the Earth. We are, Master Samael says the Earth's most important organ.

Humanity to the Earth is comparable to how important the liver or lungs are to the human body.

We do not see the Earth as a living Being with its own living Identity.

Because of this perception we do not as Gnostics see how our work or lack of it affects the Earth.

Master Samael says that we do not live on the Planet Earth even though we do. He says we are stuck in our emotions, desires, impulses, instincts etc. belonging to our microcosmos.

This is easy to verify. If we are to look at examples of Eastern and Western art we will see that in the West man is portrayed as being bigger and on top of nature (i.e greater than the Earth) while in the East man is portrayed as being a part of nature.

Actually Master Samael says that it was after the 18th Century that because of the increase in skepticism the fourth vertical and the Nontrabada island were hidden not to be seen again.

What affects the Earth also affects us. For example Master Samael says that when energies from a cosmic catastrophe reach Earth these energies cause human beings to go to war.

Avenue of Awakening

There are many areas in which human beings awaken. The area of the Earth is one.

As we are part of it, as we are it, as we are the cells of the earth, part of our awakening is to realise and understand this. Once we understand this we can begin to awaken to the higher possibilities. As the awakening is infinite there is rise to the order of Galactic man and Infinite man which is when the Earth releases us.

While we are not awake to the fact that we are part of the Earth, our destiny is linked to the destiny of the Earth. When we develop further our destiny becomes unlinked from that of the Earth's. Hence the guardian wall.

Our awakening affects the Earth. The brighter our consciousness shines the brighter the Earth's consciousness shines also. As we are cells of the Earth an awakened cell contributes to the brilliance of the whole.

While we are on the Earth, we are never greater than it. Just as the liver can never be greater than the whole body.

Our awakening is tied to the Earth. The Earth provides us with life and its diverse circumstances through which we can awaken.

We are cells of an organ, and that organ of the Earth is humanity. Without human beings the Earth would not be able to live. Therefore, the picture that science paints that there was period in which there were no human beings is false.

The economy of nature draws balance based upon the conditions of the human being's consciousness.

When we die we cease to be part of the physical earth. We enter the spiritual realm of the earth, i.e. the spiritual or the infra. The Earth holds us corporeally or incorporeally.

Cosmic Order

The Earth is a highly spiritual yet physical being. This is how the Earth was seen and known in Lemuria.

A planet is of the order of: mesocosmos. Human beings are of the order of: microcosmos.

A planet is governed by 24 laws and a human being by 48 laws.

Every cosmic order shares a certain number of laws. The human being has a duplication of the laws in the mesocosmos.

The Earth Master Samael says has seven dimensions. Just as the human being has seven fundamental dimensions.

The Earth has three parts: superior, middle and inferior. In other words: a heaven, the physical dimension and the infra-dimensions.

As we have seven chakras the Earth also has its chakras.

As we have meridians and channels through which our energies circulate so does the Earth.

Nourishment

The Earth also requires nourishment as do we. The Earth does not nourish itself primarily as we do from the plants and animals but from the cosmos through the four kingdoms of nature.

The Earth is a cosmic Being that nourishes itself from the cosmos and of itself, that is the Earth also transmutes.

The four kingdoms absorb these cosmic energies, transform and transmit them to the interior of the Earth feeding its vitality. That way the Earth's vitality is sustained.

The human being after the second mountain stops being a mechanical transmitter of these energies.

The Earth needs the four kingdoms for its nourishment. The four kingdoms act in some way like a great stomach.

One-dimensional or single brained creatures capture energies from the Earth itself and re-transmit it back to the Earth.  Of which the Earth makes use of.

Two brained creatures capture other types of energies and they absorb them and later transmit them into the upper layers of the Earth's crust.

The three brained beings, i.e. human beings capture energies from the cosmos, absorb them and transmit them to surface layers of the Earth.

The trees capture energies principally capture energies from the Earth. However, there are trees that capture energies from the cosmos and there are those that capture energies from the Infinite. 

We can capture cosmic energies, we do this with the Runes and certain practices. We feed ourselves and we feed the Earth.

Master Samael's Formulas for Jinas - (3276)

All of them are to do with faith. Reiterating his assertion that the key to the science of Jinas is faith.

Here is a formula that he says is for Jinas using the help of the Divine Mother:

"Creo en Dios, creo en mi madre Divina, creo en la magia blanca, lleva me a La Iglesia Gnostica con me cuerpo fisico."

"I believe in God, I believe in my Divine Mother, I believe in white magic, take me to the Gnostic Church with my physical body."

At least a Minimum Plan - (3274)

We can spend so much time making the perfect and 'to the detail' plan, budget, collection of data points (food and accommodation) for an upcoming event for example.

Past experience shows us that things always change and real life is very fluid and things always work out differently to the plan - but they all work out - that's the important thing!

So one gets very disappointed - all that time working things out - all for nothing.

To not have a plan is no good either but to have a perfect and 'to the detail' plan is good but a waste of time in the end - because it won't get followed. Such is life...

In the end, the best is to have a plan of some sort and let the dictates of reality adapt the plan as is needed.
