Gnosis Info Session: Make Our Light Shine - (4761)

Introduction

This post is an idea of how Gnosis can be presented in the Information Session format. That the focus of this particular information session will be: "Making Our Light Shine". 


Contents

A good general focus of any introduction to Gnosis talk can be formed using the law of three. 


General Approach

Affirming 

Each human being carries light within. Each human being is an essence derived from a soul and the soul is the unfolding of a Divine Monad. The Divine Monad of every human being is made up of spirit, light which is consciousness, will, energy, innumerable divine powers and qualities and is an authentic part of the Great Universal Spirtit of Life.

Denying

Obviously something is missing in our planet. If every person expressed their light how could things be  way that they are? Here then we explain the problem, that is present all that Gnosis teaches about what blocks our light from being expressed. The conditioned essence, the sleeping consciousness, the mind, the personality etc. 

Reconciling

Here the solution to the problem is explained. Which is how the various blocks to expressing the light are dissolved. 


In More Detail

Affirming

The essence which is our real identity contains the consciousness. In the consciousness there is light which is awareness and cognition, and cognition is knowledge, which is Gnosis.

Gnosis is knowledge. It is self-knowledge to be exact. Self-knowledge is inner knowledge. Which is the knowledge of ourselves as essence, as consciousness, as spirit and beyond - within the infinite reaches of the absolute, which is what was before there was creation and what will always be (no matter what happens).

Gnosis is the light that shines on us showing us that we are an essence and that we are connected to a Spirit, and that both the essence and spirit are beyond suffering and know the mysteries of creation - which Gnosis teaches are the Laws and principles by which the Universe works. 

Gnosis teaches that the consciousness is creative intelligence and within it can be found the solutions to life's problems and what is unknown can be transformed into knowing.  

To know is direct apprehension of reality. It is not to believe nor is it to be informed. It is the result of experience. To know does not hurt, knowledge does not harm or injure anyone. It is only ever how that knowledg is used. All knowledge in the right hands can be used to benefit others as well as the one that 'knows'.

The consciousness knows about cause and effect. It sees the effects tied to all actions. It knows what deeds, words, thoughts and feelings will bring suffering to us.

The essence possesses the qualities to respond to all the events of life. It has wisdom, love, strength,  hope, patience, knowledge, alertness, true sexuality, creativity, faith and the list goes on.  


Denying

What blocks our light is the essence that is conditioned to process itself in a conditioned way, that is not in accordance with its natural nature which is light. 

It is the conditioned or bottled essence that has fallen asleep in its conditioning to its true nature that suffers, cries and does all the things that we know in the world which cause so much suffering and problems. 


Reconciling

The solution is to affirm the light in us and to dissolve what conditions our essence and to make passive what clouds our light from shining which is the mind and the personality.


Complements

Light

It is very important to know the following:

1.) We already have light.

2.) What blocks our light. Such as: busy mind, active personality, egos, karma, impressions, wrong use of the centres and the un-wise use of our energies.

3.) How to get our light back.


Pain and Suffering

It is also very important to know why we have pain and suffering. This is so that we can free ourselves from it and not create more.

1.) We have pain and suffering. 

2.) We have pain and suffering because we are ignorant of the cosmic laws of: 

        Cause and effect 

        Recurrence and return

        Magnetism

        Reciprocity 

        Compensation

3.) We have pain and suffering because we are ignorant of:

        Mind

        Personality

        Essence (our true nature) - our psychology, psyche= soul, essence, consciousness 

4.) We also have pain and suffering because we are ignorant of:

        Transformation of impressions

        Energy and how we use, store and transform it

        The human machine and its 5 centres: intellect, emotion, motor, instinctive and sexual.


Conclusion

GNOSIS is the opposite of IGNORANCE. Gnosis is the knowledge that saves us from ignorance.

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...
