Grasping the False Self - (3620)

We are not use to seeing ourselves as only awareness or consciousness.

So we are constantly habituated at grasping for ourselves.

We grasp inwardly in our thoughts and emotions for ourselves. For that sense of ourselves.

What we find alas is something false. Something that our mind has created.something set up by our thoughts about ourselves. 

If we discard that sense of self generated by the thoughts about ourselves which generate a flavour of our selves, we are left with nothing - like a clear openness.

We find ourselves in that openness, in that clarity of awareness. 

We have to stop that grasping and beg the Divine Mother to dissolve all those false senses of self that we have. And get use to seeing ourselves and finding ourselves as that awareness.

End (3620).

Dead in Projects from the Start - (5348)

If we die to the outcome of any projects that we undertake we can be guided by our inner Divinity and and we in turn can put the course of the project in their hands for them to determine the outcome best for them.

End (5348).

Thoughts of the False Self are False - (3619)

The sense of self we have is false. This is hard for us to understand, but it is quite true.

This false sense of self, this sense of "I" is upheld by thought. There must be some thought to set up or create this sense of self or "I".

The thought "I" is enough to do it.

A perception of our will, our body, our clothes, creates thoughts and that creates a flavour of the false self - that false sense of self gets created. 

The thing is that that sense of self does not exist. It is false. 

So if there is a "I" there has to then by duality be the other. Then we have the potential for conflict.

If the sense of self or "I" is false then whatever thoughts it begins to generate they are also erred.

We are really what's left when we take away that false sense of self. And that is a clear awareness.

End (3619).

In the Moment Learn the Work to Do - (3613)

I think being in the moment is really important to discover the work that we need to do. 

Normally we have our plan or desires about what we want to do and we miss so much. 

It happens that what we think we need to work on is not really what we need to work on or is not important in that moment to work on. 

Being in the moment one discovers so many different layers of work to do, which we would normally overlook.

Being in the moment inside of ourselves allows us to see the details, which when we have our plan we only see the big things we are hunting down.

The details support the big egos and so seeing and working on the small details, the small thoughts, the background thoughts helps us to work on the big things.

End (3613).

Five Minute Wonder - (3614)

Just five minutes of not thinking anything on purpose can do wonders for you.

You energise awareness, create restful space within you, order your mind and life, remember priorities, direct and clarify your day's actions.

Just five minutes can change the course of your day. And if your day changes, your life going beyond that will be changed also.

End (3614).

Best Effort is to Saturation - (3617)

There is a saturation point in us. 

We can practice and practice during the day and we will find our saturation point. After we reach the saturation point our system seems not to be able to give more. 

If we reach our saturation point we can be very sure that we have put in a very good day's work. 

Usually pushing past the saturation point does not become too productive. But just sometimes it is what is needed to produce like a breaking through or a collapsing of some mental structures within us.

End (3617).

Pine Tree - (3610)

El Pino in Spanish is a really nice tree to meditate underneath. Being under a pine tree one feels a special kind of calm. Especially those pine trees that when the wind blows through their branches there is a swooshing whisper, like the mantra WU.

One can really get a deep quiet extending into the mind, especially if you're practicing early in the morning before dawn, before the surrounding area starts to wake up and get buzzing and humming.

Clarko Reserve wooshing pine tree. 

In Japan, among many tree species the pine tree has a high regard. It is revered as a symbol of steadfastness, strength and constancy as it remains the same through every season, through the hottest summers and the coldest winters. It does not change colour nor shed any of its needles. 

Master Samael also wrote in the "Igneous Rose" that the elemental of the pine tree is related to the mind.

"1. The pine is the tree of Aquarius. The pine is the tree of the new age. It is the sign of Aquarian thought.

...

79. The pine is the symbol of the mind of the new age."

Moment by Moment - (3609)

The discipline to live from moment to moment is no doubt good for you.

It teaches us how to connect to reality.

It is where we can find our lives. It is the realest base that we have. The moment is the real. 

By meeting the moment we can see much more about ourselves, which leads us to be clear. 

In the moment is the didactic of our life, or the intelligent educating and guiding flow of our life. There are valuable lessons to learn. Real lessons that we need to learn, not the ones that we want to learn for some reason or another.

Fantasy and distraction is all about taking us away from this educational didactic of the moment. Through the moment is where our consciousness through our inner mind can teach us, guide us.

It helps displace anxiety and fear. It is a big part of the remedy for those two egos.

We can really feel peace and calm when we are focused in the moment.

We normally think the consciousness is in the body, but perhaps it is the other way around. The body is in the consciousness!

It makes more sense that it is, because without the consciousness we could not perceive and feel the body. This observation is what makes the Jinas science doable.

Engineer your Day - Design Practices in your Day - (3612)

This may be helpful. To assign certain tasks that you have to do during your day to become a practice of alertness or awareness. 

Remember a practice is something that you are doing to get good at something right! So don't think you are going to be perfect at it until after a while.

The consciousness often manifests as remembering.

When it gets active it makes us to remember. So when we remember the work it is because our consciousness has sparked up and sent us a jolt.

In one simple event like getting a hair cut, being consciousness while sitting on the barber's chair so much can be discovered to work on.

Kundalini Posts: 1.12) Kundalini Opposite Kundabuffer - (3483)

Both kundalini and the kundabuffer are the Shakti. That is the same fire of the Cosmic mother that was present at the first instance of creation. 

The difference between them is their polarisation. 

The law of duality acts on the Shakti. Shakti is a force of nature, a force in creation where duality can impose itself. 

Even though they are both fire or Shakti or primordial cosmic energy they are opposites. One ascends and liberates while the other descends and enslaves. 

Both devour and take one to transformation. Kundalini takes one to mystical death and liberation from the ego, while kundabuffer takes one to the second death and liberates one from the ego. The difference is, one has realisation while the other does not.

As the kundalini energises your consciousness and helps awaken and clean the psyche, making it think, feel and function in harmony with the cosmos. The kundabuffer does the opposite, it increases fascination, strengthens the ego and is the back bone of the hypnotic grip of the ego.

The hypnotic grip is the belief in the need of the ego. In other words the hypnotic grip is what chains us to the ego. We are normally chained to our desires, all because we believe we can't live without them or that we need them for something, yet the truth is that we know that these desires are no good for us, yet we can not leave them behind. Such is the hypnotic grip. The power of the fire inverted. Imagine the power of the fire in its ascending sense. All of the vices are such that we keep continually returning to them: drinking, gambling, drugs, sex repeat and repeat., 

The kundalini takes us higher and closer to the soul while the kundabuffer takes us lower and closer to the three Furies of mind, desire and ill-will. One takes us into our own heavens of consciousness and the other into our atomic infernos of greater egoic consciousness.

Will the Absurdity in the Ego to Die - (3605)

Will is very important when chanting KRIM to dissolve the ego.

We really need to will with all that we have to make the absurdity in the ego to dissolve when we chant KRIM.

There is absurdity in the big egos. There is a lot in anger, in pride, in lust, in laziness, in greed. In my ideas these absurd elements are the ones which are good to target first, as they are the ones that cause the most trouble for us. 

End (3605).

Control Freaks Only Suffer - (3606)

I've found it best to give up controlling others, even if it is, we think for their best.

Commanding, convincing, reprimanding, being passively unhappy etc. are some of the hundreds of ways of control.

The controlling person likes to tell others what to do but can not accept being told what to do.

The controlling characteristic is something relentless and constant in people who like to control. It seems if a person does not work on the controlling tendency, they are that way for years.     

Control belies weakness. In control there is always something we wish to avoid...

The more we wish to avoid something the stronger our grip of control will be.

We can't always control people or things. People don't always like that and they can't always obey. It is in fact very wrong for them to sometimes obey.

So as the controlling characteristic is something relentless and constant in a person, the control freak is only going to suffer.

Ah it is awful to control a person, because they will end up fearing you. The controlling person wants to do the best for the person but ends up making the person scared and unhappy.

    

End (3606).

Declare Quiet War - (3608)

When we declare quiet war we sometimes have a better chance of winning the war. Because all the noise gets attention that creates that secret resistance. 

When we are full of power and conviction we can declare war on an ego and be successful in many a number of battles.

Declaring war on fantasy is best done quietly.

End (3608).

Some Facing Mind Tactics - (3607)

It is good to have a bit of info up our sleeves about how to deal with the mind.

When Negative and Sensitive

When we are in a very negative and hypersensitive state, one negative thought sets us spiralling down. In such a state the best thing is to not think, not even glance at the thoughts. Just ever so gently and nice and quickly let go for as long as necessary until our normal psychology starts to show the first glimpses of coming back.

Constant Bombardment

Being bombarded by one thought after another makes it very hard to analyse all the thoughts and look into them so to dissolve them. When our mind is like this we have to increase our alertness and use our consciousness to catch what it can in an instant and then let the thought go. For as long as necessary.

Negative but One at a Time

When the thoughts are spaced we can do it. When they arrive one after the other we have to select the thought we wish to dissolve, by means of analysis, seeing both sides of the thought, seeing the absolute value of the thought (the value which the thought is a positive or negative side of), inquiring into its truth or falseness, turning it around which is switching the relative reference point of the thought to an opposite reference point.

For example: "She thinks I am stupid.". Turning it around we get: "I am thinking I am stupid." or "I think she is stupid." or "I think that I am smart.". Then ask which one is truer. Obviously the first one is. That thought then remains nuetralised.

End (3607).

The Main Plan - (3604)

No plans is the main plan some say. But not really, there is always a plan somewhere on some level.

All plans are up in the air now. Events cancelled, future events uncertain, borders open by who knows when, flights flying - don't know maybe yes maybe no.

Anyway the main plan is to keep safe!

But not just hand sanitizer and face mask safe but safe in our work more importantly!

End (3604).

Divine Mother Eager to Help if You Want Help - (3603)

She is like Athena a fierce hunter armed and ready. If only you are ready too!

Be ready and surrender her something to be hunted and she will assist. 

She is a power that that follows our sincere heart felt need to die in ourselves!

End (3603).

I'm Brave Because you are not Brave, then am I Brave? - (3601)

This is a mind game, this is being stuck in relativity and duality, where in reality you are neither.

You are brave because the other person is not. You are brave because of duality. That is brave because there is another factor to compare against. You are brave in relation to or relative to the other person. 

Take away the other person then you are not brave. You are defined as brave all depending on what the other person does. If they become brave then you will be a coward.

What are you then? You are what depends on others!

What you are is what you are in your Being. That is what you really are in reality!!!

Cowards were punished severely in the red army, all knew it.

We though don't see ourselves that way we see ourselves relative to others, which is to lose ourselves altogether.

Within you, you have egos of fear and values of the Being. The more egos of fear you have the less brave we are, but on the flip side the braver we can be. 

Conclusion, brave and coward don't exist, only values polarised with or against the inner Being. 

However, the work is there sitting above the mind for us to chose. Chose to reduce the duality by dissolving the ego and become one. 

End (3601).

Psychological Work can Fix a Sick Organ - (3602)

Not all the time, but definitely when there is a mental process that is directly reaching and affecting an organ.

For example, the thoughts of one ego may through the brain and nervous system tense or stress a muscle or organ producing pain, soreness and blockages, which then have knock on effects for the whole body.

Working on the ego, that is working on its thoughts that impulse, tense and exert pressure on an organ, actually relieves that organ from that ego imposed stress. Hence taking away the pain and soreness, and restoring its natural function. Sometimes this takes some time or sometimes it takes very little time.

Fear is an ego that can do this, affecting one's stomach, digestion and breathing. The egos of lust and the egos that are about losing the sexual energy affect the sexual organs. Anger affects the heart as does pride. Worry wracks the brain.

If you are unwell and you really know, I mean you really know: no assuming or inferring or logically concluding that a particular ego is affecting your health then work hard on it. But if you just don't know, see a doctor for sure and pray to the Masters of the medicine.

Be in the Interior Mind to be Awakened - (3600)

What is it Really?

So m.m.m says that to be awakened one must go to their interior mind and stay there, and see life's events from there as well as process life's events from there using the psychological and esoteric thinking. Thus leaving behind the sensory mind.

So I tried that and I hit a wall. The wall I can best describe as being the following: "What is the interior mind?". 

So I tried to understand what is the interior mind. In this post I am presenting my findings to you. So that if you are hitting the same wall, what I write here maybe useful.

Some Points About the Interior Mind

Lake to Reflect Data

First of all, we know from what Master Samael says, that the interior mind is the mind that functions with the consciousness, and the data from the consciousness is what the interior mind uses to function.

So the interior mind is once a lake that reflects the consciousness. The sensory mind reflects the data from the senses and uses three dimensional logic to analyse and draw conclusions from this data.

The whole fight within us is really m.m.m says between the sensory mind and the inner mind.

Silent

The interior mind is quiet and serene waiting to receive data from the consciousness. The interior mind is not disturbed by the ego. Because it is not the realm of the ego.

The sensory and intermediate minds are disturbed by the ego and drown out the interior mind.

To reach the interior mind we must make the sensory and intermediate minds quiet first.

When we get tot eh inner mind we find it quiet already.

This is because the consciousness is not a mental process or a mental structure. It does not need to be sustained by any kind of thinking.

No Concepts

The inner mind is devastating for sensory life as it does not have any concepts of the physical.

We find that it does not know anything about physical things.

For example, we are holding a pen. Our sensory mind says that is a blue pen and no one can convince us that it is a duck or boat. It is a blue pen. When we go to the inner mind and we ask ourselves: 'do we know what we have in our hand". We won't know what is in our hand. 

Go to your inner mind and ask your essence: "Do I know that is a pen?" and you will not find anywhere intrinsically or innately in your own essence that says that this is a pen. We have the concept of it introduced by society into our sensory mind but we don't know it internally within ourselves.

However, within our inner mind we will know the Being, the essence, our psychological processes - that is things that are known by our consciousness.

Desire to be Sought After - (3597)

7 Major Desires

This is one of the seven major desires that human beings have.

Lets hit this practically!

Read the cartoon below.

Now imagine yourself being all the opposite of being 'sought after'. Unpopular, unknown, obscure, oh so so average, etc.

Is something going: "oh no no" inside of you and feeling a little uncomfortable, and thinking life would be like so: "dull, lifeless, boring, I don't know, I can't imagine my life like that."?

If yes, you have this desire. Well, who doesn't, except for those you have dissolved it already right?

Where's the remedy? To live life more and more in our essence, in our consciousness and in our inner Being, in that order. Yeap that's the remedy. Sound too simple. Well sometimes it is...

To invert the polarity of that desire from moment to moment, from being 'sought-after' to 'seeking after'. Seeking the essence, the consciousness and the inner Being.

You will only know if what I write is true by practicing it, doing it. Otherwise it becomes something that stays in your mind and torments you for not ever having tried.

Unfortunately though the right moment to try it, is when this desire is raging within you. And try it really hard with lots of will power to boot.

End (3597).

Self-Importance What's Your Remedy? - (5255)

Useful Definitions of Self-Importance

A most useful one is: "pain". Sometimes the technical definitions are ah just so unmotivating...

The opposite of an ego as definition is always so useful. The opposite of self-importance is the priority of the Being (or anything Being related) within us.

It's good not to turn a blind eye on it. It can creep up and give us a mighty unpleasant bite...

I'll tell you how it mainly works. This is what we need to know, because this is where the pain is. Read the following paragraph...

But just before I go on, on a long winding explanation, the key with self-importance is that when we are feeling the pain of self-importance we have forgotten our inner Being. The inner Being is no longer important to us, It has become second or third or fourth place in us. The opposite of self-importance is to make the purpose and seeking out of our inner Being and our inner work the most important thing in our life. If we apply this we have a very effective remedy for the "I" of self-importance. 

Where the Pain Is At

So it all stems from the central concept: "I am important!" or another version of the same is: "Me my myself is important!". But thinking either of the two latter statements doesn't hurt us or cause us pain. It only begins to hurt when others don't or apparently don't follow that law: that "I am important and more important than you or them".

It is no law in reality. But self-importance believes it should be a law, that everyone, even a cat should respect. I'll get back to this very important point later. For now back to the pain...

When others seem to us, to not think or feel or act in accordance with this law which states "I am important", what results is: negative thinking then pain then anger, negative thinking again then pain again then anger again, etc. A cycle.

How do people apparently break this law?

By not giving us first place in thoughts and emotions, by ignoring us, by  making us wait, by not recognizing us, by giving other things more importance, by not echoing our sentiments, by forgetting about us or something that we asked for, etc. etc.  

Castaneda hits the nail on the head.

It is very relative isn't it. The pain we feel from the central statement, concept or law of self-importance which is that: "I am important!" comes out of relativity, that is, in relation to others being more important than us.

I don't want to be crude or harsh, but I want to emphasis that this 'law' I mentioned above is a BS law! 

Don't believe me, really look deep at it and conclude it for yourself. Your conclusion is where the power is at inside of you. This comprehension is the magic pain relieving lever! No comprehension of this = pain continues.

If this 'law' were real then everyone in the world will abide by it. But no one does because it isn't real. We create it and believe to be real. If it were real it would be so sickening wouldn't it? The whole world following the law: "I am important" and everyone has to give top priority to me, then nothing would get done. Total chaos, disorder, injustice everything bad, you name it, would spring out of that as a consequence.

See, it's a branch that stems from pride.

How to Avoid the Pain

The pain digs in for example when we think, "they are or it (the computer these days) is more important to him/her/them than I am". When we have to contemplate or face accepting second or third or fourth place or some other level of minor importance, self-importance goes nuts with the pain! So in such moments we earnestly cry out: WHERE IS THE REMEDY!

This one is true actually. 

She is touching on the remedy...

Remedy

The above quotes are hitting on the remedy.

The remedy is not in 'them', i.e. forcing 'them' to make you important inside of 'them'. Self-importance has so many tactics to do this from rough and rude to subtle and conniving. 

We are important to them or we are not. Sometimes we are, sometimes we are not, and others are the same for us, sometimes others are important to us and sometimes not as much. True right? It fluctuates so often it can't be static, very little in life is truly static. What happens if we accept this and come to terms with it and accept it as a fact of life, and not feel less worthy or less real because of it.

The remedy is in self-remembering and going back inside and relating to ourselves and our inner Being. The Being is important to us and we are important to It. Because we are a part of it. With self-remembering we are complete, not forgotten because we are remembering ourselves, not waiting because we are already with ourselves, not second place or third or fourth because we are the only one with our inner Being, not unloved or unappreciated because we are loving our Being and that inner Being can only ever be loving us back in Its conscious way of loving us. Get the drift...

The thing is to practice this right in the heat of battle. Read the paragraph above and go to practice it! That is the only way to make the remedy work!!!!

Also knowing that we are relatively important, that we all have a real function on the Earth, certain people depend on us and we are important enough to occupy a real amount of space on the Earth, important enough to have a physical body etc. we can break that central concept of thinking that we are more important. The trouble is, as that quote above says, is in thinking that we are important, when we know that we are just as important as everyone else, we have a point to fight this ego and displace it.

Then again there is a great paradox here. If we look into space we see that the Earth is just a spec of dust and we are not even a millionth of that spec so we are not important at all before the cosmos.

Theory and Practice Discrepancy - (3599)

There's the theory and then there's the practice. There always seems to be a difference wherever you go and whatever you study. In Gnosis this applies.

When studying theory, there's the equations, all balanced and symmetrical. All is defined, complete, exact and known.

When studying the practice, the exactness and the 'all is defined and known' quality of theory become a little hazy.

Overall though the practice does follow the theory. But not exactly. There's always some minor discrepancies. Due to the presence of other intervening factors. 

In science often these discrepancies are due to external factors such as effects of temperature, air resistance, material impurities, mechanical friction, measurement device inaccuracies etc. 

In the practice of Gnosis the particular nature of our interior determines these differences.

End (3599).

Failure or Success of One Can be the Cause for Failure or Success of Many - (3598)

That's an amazing thing and it is sometimes very true.

Just one person failing can be like the first domino that is the cause for so many others to fail.

The opposite is true too. The triumph of one is the cause for the triumph of many. 

In the case of those studying Gnosis, Master Samael's triumph was the cause for the triumph of several others and also for those yet to triumph.  

Such is the causative power of a guru. Every true guru has some hand into the causes of his/her disciples.

Master Samael said once, that if he were to lose a drop of the sexual energy it would be the cause for the failure of the Gnostic movement. 

Perhaps we could be in a situation where our failure or success will greatly impact others. In fact every instructor, teacher or missionary is in that situation.

End (3598).

Guru Notes - (3594)

About Post

This post is my jotting pad for a little talk I plan to give on the Guru. But I'm running out of time again so I'll be winging it...

Word 'Guru'

Guru is a Sanskrit word. 

It is made up of two Sanskrit words: GU and Ru. 

Gu means darkness and Ru means light. So putting these two words together we understand that a guru is someone who dispels darkness with light.

Concept of 

The concept of a guru has entered into the common pool of acceptance and the word itself also now has a place in many western languages, especially English.

It typically means anyone who has a high degree of knowledge or specialised knowledge about a subject and is prepared to pass it on. Like your IT guru, or Excel guru at work for example. 

A guru in the spiritual path is the same, however there are other dimensions to it which I hope to present in this post.

A Principal/Law of the Path

Everyone who walks the path has his or her guru. 

We do need a guru for the path. To have a guru is as old as tradition. 

In fact it is a principle of the path.

This principle of the path is expressed so eloquently by an Egyptian Hieroglyph, that shows the initiate with the left arm extended to the front and the right arm extended to the back. The left arm is pulled and the right arm pulls.

The guru is a link in an eternal chain. The first guru is the Cosmic Christ Himself, as He, Master Samael said signed a pact at the very dawn of creation to redeem men, Gods and worlds.

Other Notes in Point Form

The guru can contact our inner Being.

The guru knows something of the destiny and mission of the disciple's Being. Therefore the guru can indicate solutions to many of the disciples's big life decisions, travels and living circumstances.

By default the guru of the Gnostic people is Master Samael Aun Weor. But it is something totally different to chose a guru and put the guru in your heart then to just to assume you have one by default.

On the path what we can't get from our Being we can get from or through the Guru.

Our Being lacks some experience and needs the guru to guide and orient It and then us.

Master Samael says that the guru is the author of the highest parts of the disciple's Being.

For every disciple that reaches the self-realisation, the guru is paid and wins further entrance into the Absolute. For that it seems is a condition of entry into the Absolute... 

If we can't get access to the guru physically we must work with the guru of the guru. The guru maybe physical and the guru of the physical guru is the Being of the Guru.

We need a guru to take refuge in, to be able to arrive at his or her feet and seek advice, consolation, and help for our heart's ills and suffering on the path. 

In the most critical moments the guru comes to help us.

The guru helps us even in our life, arranging or helping to magically arrange life's circumstances.

The guru has much causative power in the life and in the interior of the disciple. This is a characteristic of the guru.

Combine working with the guru and our inner Being for our path. I would say don't forget neither.

What any missionary really wants is that his or her students are well situated on their path. To get to this point a good relationship with their guru is a determinant factor. So any missionary would want so much that their students find or chose their guru and become close with that guru-Being. 

End (3594).

Ego More Exciting Yet So Disappointing - (3596)

The reason why we decide to not keep our mind quiet or stop thinking is because something in our mind says: "Ah mental silence, self-remembering, the essence it's all so boring, so like still and dry etc.".

Then we go with the juicy thought...

Then we get a slight head ache and feel a little bit disorientated and vexed.

All over nothing. What a disappointment, it was only a thought after all. A thought, an idea, an image that is half true or hearsay or won't ever come true...

Self-remembering, concentrating, keeping the mind and personality passive are for those who know all too well the futility and disappointment of thinking. Especially thinking juicy rubbish.

Also it is for those who have found a true joy in having the mind quiet and exploring their consciousness through self-remembering.

The Jaguar is Appreciated - (3595)

Jaguar

The jaguar is a valued symbol. Valued for its boldness, fierceness, power, courage and resourcefulness.

Among the Aztec or Nahuatl the jaguar was highly regarded. It was given the name ocelotl. The very brave warriors in Aztec society were known as jaguars. There was even a clan of warriors known as the  jaguar knights.

What a beauty the jaguar is!

The Aztec especially appreciated the jaguar as it ran, climbed, jumped, swam and something else which sorry I forget now, meant to them that it dominated the four elements, and that was a unique set of qualities that was highly regarded.

Law Appreciates those Who are Like the Jaguar

The law respects courage and valour. The one who tries is seen with higher regard than the one who never tries.

This can be a point to consider in our path and in our life. Nature and the Law favour those who try and put something on the line more in relativity than those who never risk anything. Our inner Being is the same. Even we human beings are the same - we respect those who try over those who never try.

End (3595).

Many Five Minute Breaks - (3593)

One important thing to know about the work on ourselves, is that it is accumulative. Meaning, that via the accumulation of effort, merit, energy, practice, etc. we get our results. 

So we want to keep this accumulation going.

To keep up a level of consciousness or psychological work during the day so that the accumulation continues, is quite hard. So this post is about giving a suggestion that I am using, and it helps.

Do regular five minute practices. Step out for five minutes, go inside, clear the mind, pray and go deeper inside. Find what you are working on and do a bit of work on it. Send the fire of the Divine Mother on to it or intensify your awareness, whichever it is that you are working on.

Then back to work or whatever we are engaged in, then repeat regularly and consistently.

End (3593).

Mini-Skirt Bucket Anecdote - (3591)

Anecdote

When I did my missionary course in Toronto Canada, it was given by a husband and wife team. The husband was a French man - good guy and his wife is one of Master Samael's grand daughters. They had spent quite a bit of time they told us staying with V.M Litelantes: Master Samael's wife after they married and they had only recently left staying with her to travel to Toronto. 

They related a story one day, where some people came to visit Mistress Litelantes to ask for some advice or similar and one of those visitors was a young Mexican lady dressed in a mini skirt. Ok, the young lady in a mini shirt was there waiting in a room then suddenly out came Mistress Litelantes with a bucket of water and just dowsed her with it and said something like to the effect of  either "get changed or get dressed" something like that. 

It would apply for a man as well, singlets or shorts could well get the same bucket of water.

Thinking

It makes one think doesn't it? Why the bucket?

Maybe we may find it a bit harsh at first but lets think beyond that... One thing I have learnt is that we have to learn to go beyond our offences to learn valuable lessons. Stuck in being offended stops all growing and learning.  

In general the personality protests about this. Saying: "it's only the body, they shouldn't be bothered by it, I'm not hurting anyone, they have the problem not me, they are in the wrong". 

The masters are not interested in pleasing our personality they are interested in educating our consciousnesses. In the case of this Mexican lady her consciousness was not too active. She was not really aware of the event and the main activity of the event. Read on to see more. 

Meaning

This anecdote means that the masters don't really find that style of dressing appropriate, right? Otherwise there would not have been a bucket of water. 

Every occasion has an appropriate type of dress. That's for sure. It seems not quite matching to visit a spiritual Master dressed as if you were going to the beach or to a night club or pub, where a big part of those environments is about catching the eye of others.

Consciousness Matching

It is not quite conscious is it? Because to be conscious is to match the external event with the right internal state. A person who is dressed like that has an internal state that is not really matching what they are doing physically. 

What they are doing physically is seeking advice of a spiritual nature and if one is truly uniting all the spheres of themselves together they would realise that their attire should match their wishes and not contradict it. Like you are going to a job interview you would wear something that shows that you are serious and are interested in the job.

They may just be really unaware that they are going to see a spiritual master and just treat the spiritual master as if the master were like another person walking in the park. They are not aware that the spiritual master has different values to the person in the park. The person in the park may be impressed by the mini-skirt but a spiritual master having other priorities and things that are of a different value won't care.

It is also a lack of respect to wear clothing that is designed to impress the lower desires. It is to treat the master as if they value or are into that sort of thing. In any case the spiritual master is fighting to dissolve these lower desires and having such impressions is something that does not help them.

Lets face it in this day and age scantily clad people outside of the right environment mostly make people nervous. Well in Australia anyway. Just imagine seeing a naked man walking into a supermarket, people will be really scared thinking that he is crazy or that he is going to do something violent or that he will try and force himself onto people etc.

So even though there is nothing wrong with a naked body, because it is our real nature and we are all really that way, it is definitely not received or taken that way in this western society. In other societies it is fine no problem, like in some of the tribes in the Amazon and in Papua New Guinea. 

Due to the inferior octave of development upon which humanity is unfolding and upon which there is a huge inversion of values: what is natural is now taken with fear and what is unnatural is accepted in this particular sense and in general in many other areas also.

The Rays are God - (3590)

All the rays are God. The ray of medicine is the healing of God. The ray of Force is the force of God, the ray of wisdom is the wisdom of God, the ray of Law is the justice of God, the ray of liberation is the liberation of God, etc. etc.

Normally people in times of war see the medics, and the solders of the liberating army as a gift of God. The rays are God at the service of humanity in creation and also to creation.

There are hierarchies and hierarchies within the rays, this is because the rays descend into creation and diversify.  

The specialist sends orders to a doctor and the doctor in turn sends the orders to the nurses and the nurses see the patient and carry out the healing advice of the doctors. They are all part of the same ray just fulfilling the function of the ray according to the ray's descent in making contact with humanity. 

The above is just a very human analogy of the hierarchy that operates within the rays. For certain our very own Being must occupy a certain hierarchy high or low within its ray.

Blitzer Day - (3592)

This is really not easy to do at all and in honesty I can only manage it a day in a week. Because it requires a lot of energy, will and focus and our days are usually packed with lots of distractions - things to do, places to drive to, people to talk to etc.

A Blitzer day is to declare 'fair game' as they say on everything that comes in your head. Even the 'nice' thoughts.

Any thought gets the rifle sight put on it. Sorry about the gun and war references. With the rifle sight on it we can question it, know who sent it and ask the Divine Mother to pull the trigger.

Doing this is very illustrative for us. We see how much of the: negative, fundamentally erred and plain useless slips through and turns into extended thinking. 

These discoveries help us in our psychological work of dissolving the "I's", and it also helps immensely to free up our mind as well as clean it and make our processes freer of subjective and erroneous elements.

So today can be a blitzer day. Why not? There is much to learn and benefit from. Even if a quarter or a tenth of a blitzer day - absolutely guaranteed maximum return for your investment.

Change Polarity to 'Giving' - Ego is 'Undoing' - (3589)

A rather potent drowsiness this afternoon... Hope what I write makes sense, my logic is a bit fuzzy. 

The many egos that we have are polarised in one direction more than any other direction. 

There are only really two directions for the ego. Lunar and solar. Good old duality again.

Because the ego is lunar in nature it is polarised in the way of receiving. Because the lunar nature is just that, it is not a radiator or generator, it is a reflector and it is cold and lacking life. Very much the opposite of the sun.

We know well how self-love is all about receiving love don't we. It gives not to give, but to receive. It is all geared up just to receive. This is all because it can't love the essence or the Being within. Once we  have love inside for our inner Being, we can then love others. As m.m.m says we can't give what we don't have.

Anyhow what I want to get at in this post is that lust is like that too. It is a massive receiver. If it gives it is to receive. A person may find another attractive, alright alright, that is not lust yet, that is a certain recognition. Though as soon as it extends past this point and words enter our mind about that person then complications enter. Lust is one of these complications. 

Lust certainly enters when there is an expectation of being liked back. Wanting the other to like us as we like them. Lust wants others to like us in the attractive sexual sense etc. 

Imagine if we just recognise that the person is attractive and then not begin any movement from within and not change anything.

Anyhow if we like another but are not expecting that like back we don't have any one of these egos of self-love or lust hanging around in our psychology.

Doing the Work with Disabilities - (3588)

Master Samael says that all that we need to do the work is a healthy body and mind. But even if we don't have a healthy body and mind we can still work on ourselves. It is just at times a bit more difficult, more challenging as we can all appreciate.

We have a student that is not all that well physically and unfortunately he is often distracted in class because of the physical pain he feels. He says that often, most of the meditations that we do with him he devotes to just relaxing out the pain. But for him he says the pain does go away and he can then concentrate.

Often our physical conditions do bring up many egos, giving us much material to work through. Such as frustration, anger, fear, worry, anxiety, despair or depression etc. In cases such as this to have the work is a real help.

None the less we have to work with what we have. If we wait for things to get better, we may never do any work on ourselves.

Sometimes we need to devote all of our energies into getting better and sometimes when it is an ongoing thing, that is, it is not going to heal so quickly, we should start to do the work.

If we can't see or hear well, we need to find a way to receive the teachings, because without the teachings we can't work well on ourselves. We need somehow to receive them, and as much of them as we can handle. There are many ways these days in which people who have disabilities can receive information. It would be a matter of seeking out the means from life to get one of these technologies or methods to work for you. Sorry I can't help much there.

None the less with our eye sight poor we are forced to develop our concentration and imagination. With that developed we can see and perceive so much that others with good sight do not see or read. Like reading between the lines is not for our physical sight but for our inner sight and our intelligence. We can still observe ourselves and we can still see the images in our mind and so we can work a lot on our mind and psychology.

Once a person with bad eyes or ears has received the teachings and has understood them they can verify for themselves everything in the teachings. They can work psychologically and esoterically in all the senses and fields. Many great masters were blind or even deaf.

The Negative Ego Says: "it's all ...(fill in the blank)" - (3587)

Fierce Fight

Put up a fierce fight against that negative "I" that says in so many different ways: "that its all hopeless, useless, gone..." that its all $&!%..." etc. 

Its time to question furiously with rigour and for God's sake not believe that "I's" proclamation that all is wrong, ruined, bad, corrupt etc. 

Things are not ever all gone or all bad. There are levels and levels of 'bad'. The thing is that the "I" exaggerates. The interesting thing is that things live on and we are still thinking that they shouldn't because it is all 'bad'.

When one has been stuck in that perception that things are 'bad' and one lives through that and things were no way near as bad as that "I" projected we learn not to trust that "I" so much anymore and trust reality more. God is reality. God is certainly not fantasy or exaggeration. 

Reality

Reality is neither good nor bad, it is itself - what is real without a bad or good overtone. For us to either fight with it, accept it, love it, reject it, etc. One thing it is, is that it is often kinder than the exaggerations of our "I's".

As soon as we stop believing that "I's" point of view, Ah liberation, our emotional centre frees up, the anxiety lifts, the worry goes, the feelings of wrong, defeated, failed etc. go and a new horizon of action or no-action opens up.

Keys of Not Believing and Trust

That's the key don't believe in the ego. Don't trust its slant on things so easily and readily, question, question. 

When we don't trust the ego we are immediately automatically by default trusting something else. So if you ever have trouble with trusting the essence, that's an easy fix. As soon as you stop trusting an ego you are straight away trusting something else, like your essence, reality, the universe, the masters, the Being, God etc.

Airs Woft Up from the Vent of the Subconscious - (3586)

During the day many smells woft up from the vent of the subconscious. They come to us in the form of feelings, strange flavours, that often our mind converts into premonitions, such as: "Oh I feel that I'm going to die soon", "I'm going to go hospital", "I'm going to get sick", "I feel really nervous, the sense of some impending doom", "I'm going to be abandoned"...

Well the things that come from the consciousness are the things that are going to take place in our life. The things from the subconscious are not!

I don't know any other way to tackle them but to know with the consciousness that they are not happening right now, they are not based in anything real, and that separation from is totally correct and to displace out of our human machine: KRIM is the way to go.

Ironic Post: Activated Full Moon Water - (3584)

This is very ironic: so I have a good business idea for anyone out there.

What you do right is collect spring water on a full moon night then store it. Then in the next month pour that water into great big wide vats and expose them to the full moon, all night long. Then bottle them up in a snazzy glass bottle with a nice full moon label on it and sell them as full moon activated water. 

Using the marketing: "Water infused with the full moon giving you the pull of the Moon to pick you up, the Moon's shine to make your mind sparkly clear and the Moon's magic to make your astral fly." 

I thought it hadn't been yet until I found this image.

Make some good money from all these hippies and pseudo esotericists that abound in Australia, America, England, Europe etc. Then shut up shop and have a good break. Sometimes some shrewd people have made money off the superficiality of good willed people. Well the karma goes to the people who took advantage.  

Full-Moon Activated H2O - "Mother in nature and Grandmother in the Moon working for you".

To Love the Form is to One Day Lose the Form - Love the Essence - (3585)

When people love the form more than the essence, that love one day is to turn to pain and grief, as all forms must perish. 

The essence does not perish, it continues....

If we see people as being an essence that has a physical form, the love we may feel for them is not going to turn into bitterness later on. 

Make our life a work of art Master Samael said.

This change in view brought on by the esoteric teachings changes many things in a person. As the love for the essence from the essence continues on, you can just imagine how much sadness this alleviates, as the old way of thinking would have us see this as only a loss.

This even applies to our own form. As we get older we begin to lose the form and yet loving our essence more than the form we can pass through this process with comprehension instead of lament, protest and regret.

My Mum in My Mum in my Mum in my Mum in my Mum... - (3582)

Master Samael said something so beautiful about the Divine Mother. He said that She has been there in all of the Mothers that we have had through all of our lives, and so in the mother that we have this life, She has also been present. 

Now that it is Mother's day, it is at least not a bad thing to remember that which Master Samael taught.
