Esoteric Vestment Notes - (4377)

Introduction

This post is a collection of short notes all to do with the topic of Esoteric Vestments.


Notes

Related to the temples, the inner Being, the consciousness, the essence...


Respresents merit, a degree of consciousness, a certain fabrication or result, a degree of realisation...


For example the white vestment represents chastity and chastity is a state of liberation from lust and a degree of crystallization of transmutation in the physical and internal bodies. The same thing with the purple vestment or tunic which is for those who have finished the great work, signifying liberation from karma and the myself (ego). 


The yellow vestment or tunic of the Buddha represents a degree of liberation from the mind. 


A body is nothing more than a vestment. A vestment is something decorates the essence. Therefore that which decorates the essence has to match the quality and qualities of the essence that it decorates.


Each internal body represents a degree of realization and therefore a degree of liberation at the same time. as realization and liberation go hand in hand.


A body such as the astral body as a vestment is a vehicle of life and manifestation in a dimension. In other words vestments allow a kind of vibratory affinity with other dimensions and invoke the manifestation of other dimensions in the dimension in which they are worn/used. 


Vestments serve as a kind of talisman. That is vestments made out of certain materials and of certain designs and certain colours draw and attract certain currents and forces in creation.


Vestments have particular functions. Vestments of different types are worn for different purposes and activities. Only certain vestments can be used for particular activities. Just like certain clothes are best worn for certain jobs or activities. Like a wetsuit is best worn going scuba diving or surfing.


We through the work on ourselves make our own inner vestments and then make them to shine. Which means to fabricate the solar bodies (superior existential bodies of the Being) and then to die in the egos which inhabit them making them to shine because the consciousness now more freely inhabits them. 


A vestment is intimately related to a temple. In a temple is where, more than anywhere else people and Beings wear a vestment. Why? Because a body which is a vestment is also a temple. Our body is the temple of our inner Divinity.   


The function of a vestment could be to invoke a certain force, or to eclipse an ego in us or eclipse the personality and bring out the essence in us. That is make us to vibrate more with the essence or a determined force or current. Esoteric vestments cause us or rather help us to vibrate with esoteric forces and currents.


Some temples hold vestments as sacred relics. Officiating in temples can not be done without a vestment or tunic of some kind. Vestments distinguish the esoteric from the activities of mundane life.


Everyone's inner Being has their particular vestment. Master Samael knew the vestments that the Inner Being of his students back in those times was wearing.


The vestment of anyone's inner Being expresses the mysteries of that Being and the ray as well as the degree of realisation that the inner Being has attained.


Vestments are a work of art. They belong to the column and ray of art. Each vestment tells a story.   


A part of knowing our inner being is to be able to see Its vestment.


Specific vestments are needed to enter certain temples. 


Vestments are also a sign of identification, they lend to being an expression of identity. Life knows about this quality as the many uniforms, and typical work wear indicate a specific identity. Fashion is a degeneration of this.


There is the tunic of the Divine Mother which is sky blue in colour and has twelve buttons representing the 12 signs of the zodiac which are the product of her gestation.


Vestaments worn by people become magnetised to them after a while and that magnetism contains their yearnings, their concentration and many of their internal states are imprinted onto it. After a while it becomes something esoterically personal as it has been used only while taking part in esoteric activities. Once a certain magnetisation has occurred such a vestment can not be transferred to others and it is best burnt if the vestment is abandoned.    


Vestments give those who wear them an: identity, role and function. 


Golden vestments are worn by those who have the bodies of gold.


The Typhon Baphomet of each one of us wins the right to wear the tunic of glory once he is freed from his role at the end of the second mountain.


Vestments are also related to the kundalini. As each kundalini serpent has its particular coloured vestment.


There is also the cape of wisdom, which one earns in the path...


The angels of death have their vestments as kind of a identification and work wear.


The symbols on vestments basically show the history (founding values) and particular characteristics of the temple.

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...
