Love Posts: Ways of Loving - (3854)

There are ways of loving. True isn't it? The most important way for us to know. Is our way. We get very very concerned with the way others love, or don't love but still the most important way to be concerned about is OUR WAY!


What is important in our way of loving is the nature of our love. The best love is the one that is pure. But often if we are honest we will find impure elements in our love.


For best results these elements have to be filtered out. There is something divine in every love, because love is divine and comes from the Divine but it is mixed with things needing purifying. This is being realistic right? And it is these impure elements that do the damage.



Often as long as we love we think that is it, we have made it. No more to be seen. We don't inquire into the nature of that love. But to be conscious and get to conscious love we really should do that! Makes sense doesn't it?


One common pitfall here is that when love takes hold of a person the heart takes control. The heart being in control pushes away the mind. Which is good in some respects when the mind only presents negative projections, but the mind can also bring many positive considerations to the discussion. Many good counterbalancing measures.


The best always is when heart and mind work together. When they work together there is balance and from balance always always comes the best things. In other words, a better way of loving can emerge when heart and mind work together.


The balanced way is closer to conscious love. 


To have the balanced way we really can't just let the heart take over and lead everything. We need to use our faculties to counterbalance it. You know in us beginners with the ego alive the heart still is not pure. It is needs counterbalancing and purifying.

    Have you thought about adding the link to gnosticteachings.org in the introduction to this blog at the top? I'm saying this because gnosticteachings.org has more free books of Master Samael and is also more attractive and easier to navigate than gnosistr.com.

    I havn't thought of it before. I actually belong to and teach under the Gnostic Society whose website is gnosistr.com. I certainly acknowledge though that gnosticteachings have some really terrific content and some lectures have helped me immensely.

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...
