Friend is Actually an Esoteric Degree

Friend is Actually an Esoteric Degree - (4346)

Master Samael said that a friend is considered an esoteric degree.

In other words to be a friend to someone is to have won an esoteric degree.

Of course it can't be a friend that we see now and then or only sometimes and they have little involvement in our life.

There are actually few friends of that type in the world but there really do exist friends in life that even though none of the friends are studying esotericism they are friends that have earnt and deserved this inner or esoteric degree.

It is said that a wife or a husband could be a friend first before being married and then keeps being a friend after being married.

A friend is someone who is recognised as such internally, that is amongst the Beings, Monads and Divinities of the inner worlds - such as I suspose the Divine Law, the white Lodge as some of the help that they send to us comes through our friends.

Such a friend has many qualities that are worth expanding upon I feel. Master Samael called such friends - friends of faith.

We need such friends, all masters have them and these friends make our path possible. I don't think anyone can deny that there are times when if it was not for such a friend we would not have made it through...

A friend is one that is honest with you and tells you if you have something wrong and tells you how to correct it. A friend who is prepared to risk the friendship to tell you something that you need to hear for your benefit.

A friend is one who often we have passed through many different situations, with not all of them being pleasant situations. A friend is one who knows us very well. even better than our selves at times.

A friend is one that is there for you always. A friend is one who offers support with lots of good will.

A friend is one who keeps the same line with you.

Sometimes friends behave much better amongst them and get a long a lot better than husband and wife. Maybe because of the different nature of the husband and wife relationship.

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...
