Gymnasium Notes - (4182)

Just some notes here that I have been going over lately to help myself. They may also be helpful to you... Most of it is my experience and the rest is what I have been taught.


By gymnasium I mean a psychological gymnasium. There are two gymnasiums in the world: physical and psychological.


Both in essence have the same goal. Which is to provide a scenario where we can train ourselves to make ourselves: stronger, quicker, fitter, more skilful, more aware, less identified, wiser, more attentive, stronger in self-remembering, more essence and less personality, more tolerant, etc. etc. the list goes on and on. 


A gymnasium is a set of circumstances, that are difficult and challenging for us to master. Key words are difficult and challenging for us, because they may not be difficult for others. The key is 'for us', as the gymnasium is very particular, even for each person who may be involved in the gymnasium's events and circumstances. 


Master Samael says that the difficult circumstances are the ones that offer us the best. The question for us here is, do we accept that statement? We often really rebel against it...


No doubt we need psychological courage to accept a gymnasium.


None the less we only need it at the start, because when we are in a gymnasium we are in it and the fear of it has gone. 


A gymnasium appears when we are ready.


A gymnasium repeats and repeats until we fulfil the secret reason of the gymnasium. Which could be to learn a lesson, to overcome a defect, to understand something, to change, to develop a different attitude etc.


The Being, the Law send us a gymnasium. I say this because there are two types of gymnasium. One that we chose and even set up voluntarily for ourselves and one that just falls on top of us. Of the one that just falls on top of us there is one that is very karmic and one that is a mixture of Being and Karma.


A gymnasium is to learn quite a few things or one very important thing.


Tests, karma and a gymnasium are all different...  


In practice we should try to make good use of the gymnasium to learn quickly and put into practice what we have learnt. This makes the gymnasium pass a lot quicker and for circumstances to change.


We have to at times, really meditate on the circumstances that have unfolded in any gymnasium to work out what we really need to work on and change within us.


When we learn the lesson, make the change, accept the invitation to rise to a new internal state the gymnasium ends or decreases.


When a gymnasium is karmic it never really ends, it waxes and wanes like the moon until the karmic debt is paid.


We may not really learn or work on ourselves until we find ourselves in a gymnasium.


The good work that we do on ourselves can reach into the future and erase the need for any future gymnasiums.


The Typhon Baphomet can also intervene in any kind of gymnasium. As we are taught that the Typhon Baphomet is our particular psychological trainer. We are taught when the Typhon Baphomet intervenes a special kind of flavour is added to the gymnasium.


Tests and a gymnasium are different. Karma and a test are also different. Karma for one goes on for much longer. A test is much shorter in duration. Tests and karma can be mixed quite often.

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...
