Ninth Sphere Notes: Conditions to Fulfill - (4067)

Introduction - Ninth Sphere a Work of Mystical Death

The ninth sphere is certainly just not the sexual act, nor is it just transmuting during the sexual act. Well understood, it is a work of mystical death of a profound and serious type.

The ninth sphere is where we face mystical death related to our very primordial and primitive forces. Which are the forces of creation, the forces which are at our very origin. Hence such a work affords us the authentic change as we are working with forces that originate and the ninth sphere is where the forces that originate swirl, simmer, bubble and have their point of activity.

The ninth sphere is ruled by the Typhon. Whenever we are to deal with the Typhon we are dealing straight away with mystical death or psychological work. The Typhon is our psychological trainer.

A person who has transmuted all their life can still go to the abyss, because the essence is still fragmented and bottled. Transmuting without death makes a person a bomb ready at any moment to explode, as the transmuted energy feeds and feeds making the ego fat - i.e. strong and if the ego is strong we are weaker, more sensitive, more awkward, more full of desire, more inadequate etc.

In the ninth sphere is also where we face our debts to do with the Holy Spirit. Of course this is so, as when there is mystical death there is something always to pay. So everyone is enthusiastic about the work with sex but then it comes time to pay the debts and things get difficult to work even for the spring chickens, it doesn't matter, debts are debts and they are only cleared with payment, the best payment is mystical death.

Conditions

There are seven basic conditions. Explained a little below. These conditions come from a book written by V.M Lakshmi. There is no English translation for that book as yet.

One - Discipline

Discipline in controlling our centres and our mind above all. The discipline to do this every time. The discipline of diverting the attention to prayer.

Two - Obedience to the Doctrine

Obedience to the doctrine, critically the Alchemical axioms of never spilling the hermetic glass and only using one hermetic vase. Plus so many other aspects of the doctrine especially those of the way Alchemy is practiced and how mystical death must always be sought. To be obedient one must first know the doctrine.

Three - Will, Discipline and Obedience

Will-Discipline-Obedience must all work together. We have to unite all three for effectiveness. Will is also conviction and emotion and yearning. It is also faith and trust in action.

Four - Who in the Past, Present and Future

To know and have understood: "Who have I been?", "Who am I?" and "Who do I want to be?". These are questions we must have clear in the work within the ninth sphere because the direct and complete knowledge of those questions prepares us as to what we will face (who have we been?) and allows us to know what we have to do (who we are now: aspirants to the light) that is following the precepts of the Alchemy and what we want to do (who do we want to be?) by maintaining our goal of dying in ourselves while working in the ninth sphere.

Five - "I am the way, the truth and the life"

To know that the Christ said: "I am the way, the truth and the life". in the ninth sphere there is no path we have to make our path. There is the path of others who have walked their way before us but for us there is no path. In the ninth sphere is where we start our path and make our path. Our path is individual but yet it is walked between the parameters and boundaries, laws and principles of the path.
