Work of Continuity Towards Awakening - (5021)

One thing that I find really puts pressure on our sleeping state of consciousness is the constant effort to awaken.

Our sleeping system can handle sporadic efforts or a few efforts during the day but a continuous effort throughout the whole day and night is something that it doesn't like.

This continuous effort is also something that effectively shifts our sleeping state into a more awake one.

After-all the awakened consciousness is something more or less continuous with fluctuations of  course in intensity.

To do a practice of death or awakening every hour at least during the day, makes a person to feel the power of continuity towards awakening and the establishing of a permanent centre of consciousness.

An Anatomy of a Stand Still - (4961)

Stand Still

It can happen in life that we find ourselves in a stand still. Locked into a difficult situation with solutions in view but none that either or both parties wants to take up...

Who is going to change and take up one of those solutions is the 'big' question in a stand still. 

What typically keeps a stand still in place is the following:

The Other Must Change

One party believes the other must change and take up a solution. This solution is usually suggested by the party that believes the other needs to change. 

The stand still comes about when the other party does not want to accept the suggested solution.

This attitude can be upheld in one party only or it can be shared, where both parties believe that the other must change and take up a solution that each one proposes. 

A stand still can still come about when neither party wants to take up the suggested solutions and both parties believe the other should change.

It seems to common sense that the solution to a stand still is to find a 'third solution' which is an intelligent combination of the solutions or positions suggested by each party.

Third Solution

Even when a third solution has been arrived at, a stand still can still come about. This is often because the third solution that was proposed was not acted upon. This could mean that the third solution was not really the correct third solution or that desire in both or one party is just too strong to come around to the third solution.

Truth

A clear point is that nothing can be done if there is no movement. One or both parties have to make some kind of move. 

The deeper truth behind it all, is that both parties need to make reasonable changes. Another truth is that the stand still will only truly disappear when both parties change.

If no one wants to change first, then both can agree to start to change together.

The Way of Force is Serenity and Peace - (5018)

The way true force expresses, that is the force of the Inner Being, is in serenity, peace, patience, trust..

It is not in violence and fierce activity as we so commonly suppose.

Master Samael said that physical strength is the most inferior kind of strength. It is practical in human life yet in the psychological and esoteric work it is not the strength that moves us forward.

It takes a tremendous amount of true force to remain serene before someone who is angry and violent. One has to bring under control terribly strong instinctual impulses to remain serene in such instances.

The one who is angry and violent lacks the force to put his or her impatience, fear or pride under some kind of control. 

Force, that is the true force of the Being conquers. The Being Itself conquers Itself with Its own force.

Its own force is the force of Its truth. The force of reason, the force of order, the force of justice, the force of just action verified before the Divine law.

We can not react to violence with violence. To be upset and protest violently against violence is the same as the initial violence. Consequently our protest lacks true force. 

True force is in truth, it is in the integral and undivided conviction of the human being coming from the principles of the Inner Being.

Those of the ray of force are serene... It is said that in the physical presence of Master Samael one felt peace, serenity, deep relaxation and trust. All problems and negative forces dissipated into thin air...  

End (5018).

Hyperborean Calves Remote Memory of in Our Psyche - (5017)

This curious point maybe complimentary for the "Seven Rounds and Seven Races" lecture.

Master Samael says that in the Hyperborean race, human beings back then were androgynous and reproduced via sprouting. That is a new hyperborean would bud or sprout from the calf of a mature hyperborean, in a very similar way to the plants. 

Wihtin our physical nature today this process of sprouting still remains. New hair and nails are 'born' and grown via sprouting.

There is also remaining in our psyche today to do with the way of reproducing via sprouting from the calves. 

There is within our psyche still a slight fascination, fixation or perhaps appreciation of the calves of the human being. There is very far back in our psyche the quietest thought or recognition even that the calf of the human being looks like a womb of sorts. 

Some people find calf muscles to have a certain sexual appeal, often people will look at the calves of others, knowing in the very background that once upon a time, in the very remote history of the human being the calf muscles played a very important role in the manifestation of the sexual energy.

End (5017).

Why the Rigour? - (5016)

Why the rigour in Gnosis? That is why the insistence in regular attendance and practice? The reason for it is that is and will be of major assistance to us.

It may not seem as to why that is the reason, but underneath whatever we may see, that is the reason and that is the help that is formed in us.

If we follow the rigour in attendance we will create in ourselves a certain magnetic centre and crystallisation that will really help us to continue working on ourselves whatever happens in our life.

If we can no longer attend a Gnostic centre because of external circumstances then because of that magnetic centre and crystallisation we will continue working on ourselves. Because we created it within ourselves with the help of the rigour of attending classes.

In conclusion by rigorously attending classes we are creating by ourselves and for ourselves a magnetic centre. If one appreciates the work on themselves they will certainly appreciate creating this magnetic centre within themselves as it greatly favours their own work.

End (5016).

"The Wonderful Life of Henry Sugar" - (5015)

It is my musings on this short film that it was written for those already a little awake.

To the sleeping person it will appear as pure fiction. However to the one who is a little wake and open to the esoteric (like you who is reading this), it won't at all appear to be fiction.

It is a wonderful story, which is short and teaches us a lot. 

It shows us marvelously how simple concentration can transform our life.

It shows us how easily a simple mind accepts the esoteric. It shows us the realistic discipline, the consistency and what the wise use of psychic powers could look like. It also shows how useful imagination or seeing really is. 

I recommend watching it, it is short, 40 minutes or so, it doesn't have any tough impressions to transform and gets straight to the point and leaves one with the feeling of wanting to work more on oneself.

P.S - for the personality

You can also enjoy a bit of that 'old British' style and speech with an all very famous English cast.

End (5015).

Self-Realisation in the Next Life - (4973)

This is a question that we at first say to ourselves: "No, in this life, not in the next!". Though as we go along we start to think about it...

Thinking deeply about it, it is not about of having failed but rather having worked and needing more time. When it comes to time and our capacity it is a realistic concern. 

We have to be real with time and our capacity and not suffer.

One thing though, all this thinking can't mean that we reduce the time, energy and attention we are currently putting into our work.

It can only mean that we update our expectations while still doing our best.

We know deep down that what will make the self-realisation of the Being to occur in the next life is that we do all that we possibly can in this life. What is important is the bridge, the connection between lives, so that the work done this life is carried over to the next to be taken up again.

Sometimes it makes one think that if after thousands of years of living a lives completely divorced of the Being and having accruing great quantities of karmic debt, how can all of that be undone in one life to get the self-realisation? 

Well we are told that the self-realisation is one thing but undoing everything from all those lives is another which indeed does take more than a life time after the third mountain is complete.

Well the Being can do it, it is the miracle of the Being that it can realise itself via the three mountains in a lifetime. Many have realised themselves with the three mountains in a life time. Yet how many have done it over a few lifetimes? Has to be many also.

There are many people in Gnosis who have come to the teachings in old age and they are working now in preparation for the next life. 

There are many who are young and they are being prepared for the next life or later.

What can not be guaranteed is giving up now and taking it up in the next life to success.

In any case this or the next life fighting to our fullest capacity for our self-realisation is what is needed of us.

To need to complete our work in the next life is certainly not a failure, it could well be the plan of the Monad for reasons the essence can know now or will only know in the next life when it unfolds.

Many times when we see a realistic goal in our sights we work towards it with much more 'gusto' and dedication than before when things were not quite clear and very uncertain.

End (4973).

Make an Organ Stronger and Agile - (5014)

In general an organ in any person's body is strong and resilient because of the degree of vital values it has and how conscious we are of that organ. 

There is something that we can do to increase or at least conserve the vital values that we have in our organs but there is much more that we can do about increasing our degree of consciousness of that organ.

We can study up about any organ and then go to visualise it and start to try and sense it.

The more we visualise it and sense it the more we will get to know it and the more familiar we become with it and gradually the more conscious we will become of it.

It's the same principle that we find with our hands. Because we use our hands so much, we are more conscious of them, and so we feel a kind of appreciation towards them, a kind of natural control over them, an innate knowledge of them and a realistic view of them in the way of what they can do and can't do and how strong they are.

Imagine feeling the same way about our heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and stomach. We can hardly feel our heart let alone our liver or kidneys.

End (5014).

Great Efforts to Train Ourselves to Listen Beyond Anger - (5013)

Difficult but well worth the effort to do.

To train ourselves to listen for what's behind the anger. Either the anger of others or own.

We don't usually come to life with this skill. It is something we have to work at. Because it is an actively conscious action. Not a automatic, mechanical one.

To do it means to consciously chose to not listen to our anger and listen with our consciousness to find the issue behind the anger. 

What is it that is unfair or hurting in the other or in me that is causing that anger? Is the question to find an answer to.

To train ourselves to listen with serenity is another tremendous skill.

It means to listen without fear knowing that whatever is said is not something that must 'be' in this very moment. So the quick necessity of fear to react is not something that does not need to be.

End (5013).

Earth the Planet of Diplomacy - (5012)

The longer I live, the more I see that the Earth is really a planet of diplomacy.

Not because the Earth's key vibration is diplomacy, in the sense that for example, the key vibration of the planet Mars is spiritual strength, but because diplomacy is what we really need to relate amongst the human beings of the planet Earth.

Master Samael said that he came to the Earth to learn diplomacy. Because it is something lacking on the planet Mars because they are so direct and because the ego there is not very strong. 

A direct person always rubs people up the wrong way... Because the ego does not like to see the truth presented so clearly and forcefully.

If we observe all the Masters towards the end of their lives become in some ways diplomatic, as they have graduated from from the many lessons that dealing with humanity has given them. 

Diplomacy is needed here because the ego is so strong. If the ego was not so developed or if relativity and duality was not so acute, diplomacy would not be needed. 

Diplomacy is especially needed when bringing two different opposing points of view together. 

Because the ego is so strong even speaking about contrary interests, a certain degree of diplomacy is required so as to not risk a long and bitter breakdown in communications and relations.

Diplomacy is an art and an intelligence. One would say an art of speaking the truth in a less obvious way without falling into a lie. It is also the art of win-win. 

The question is though who is the diplomat. The diplomat is neither here or there. Who does the diplomat really serve or end up serving? Whose side is the diplomat on?

The diplomat is the one who has no side, but in the end, ends up taking a side, usually the side which serves personal hidden or vested interests. This is because the diplomat can not, no one for that matter can ride on two horses or sit on a fence for too long.

The lesson of the diplomat to avoid falling into astutely fulfilling the aims of the subconsciousness has to take a side and the best side is always the side of the consciousness, the Being, the work or the third solution.

Why the Tests are Mostly Internal Nowadays - (5011)

The reason is that we are far too weak now days, physically and psychologically.

The tests now are mostly internally so as not not harm us physically and to psychologically.

Previously in by gone days, the tests of the path were very physical. The tests of the elements for example were all physical ordeals in the times of Ancient Egypt.

Even the test of the Guardian of the Threshold can be passed physically by divulging to a group of people all of our errros of this life without omitting one single mistake or wrong doing.

Obviously now days becasue the general level of dengeneration is so high to divulge all of our errors is not possible and even those listening are not mature enough to listen to number one: keep silent and number two, to listen, forget and act towards the perosn like they like didn't hear anything.

End (5011).

Live like an Animal, Suffer and Die Like One - (5009)

Following on from the previous post, I believe one of the lessons learnt from the animal kingdom, to be transferred to the human, so as to live wiser as a human is this: "live like an animal, then suffer and die like one".

To live as an animal is to live for the satisfactoin of the instincts. To live to survive, to live for pleasure, to live to satisfy all the appitities of the instinctive centre, whether they be related to: food and drink, sex, sleep, thrill, violence, comfort, security, distraction, the list goes on.

We see the animals suffering in so many ways, even the strongest and most powerful of animals suffer as part of the nature of their life. They all die sadly alone - either violently or due to starvatoin or injury. Their daily life is one of intense effort to just remain alive - the fight for survival.

So if we as human beings live just to satisfy our instincts then we too will suffer alone in our life as they do. That quest to satisfy our instincts will cause us suffering and draw us apart from others which will also cause us suffering.

End (5009).

Role of the Wheel of Samsara - (5347)

The Itoklanos Principle is the principle which places human beings on the wheel of Samsara. When the human being fell in Lemuria, the human being was transferred from the Fulasnitamnian principle to the Itoklanos Principle.

In other words, from being free of the great wheel to being subjected to it along with all of its transmigrations. 

A characteristic of these two principles as master Samael explains, is that under the Itoklnaos principle human beings repeat the same error time and time again until learning the lesson, while under the Fulasnitamnian principle any error is only made once.

The Itoklanos principle governs so much of human life, from the great things in life involving thousands of people to the small details of life. All of life is about making errors over and over until we learn. This is essentially how we all learn and become 'wise'.

"An error is made, what is worse is to persist in the same when we know better." 

Just to emphasis the main point: in coming under the Itoklanos principle the essence is subject to the condition of having to repeat the same error numerous times until learning the lesson. This is essentially the wheel of Samsara. The essence has to have several hundred lives in each kingdom to learn the lessons of life.

It turns out that these lessons of life are all preparations for the essence to be able to return to its original condition before the fall, that is being free from the wheel of Samsara.

The role of the wheel of Samsara is to provide the experiences of life in creation through shear repetition, so that they enter the consciousness, ready to be brought to maturity and learnt as a human being so that the these learnt lessons can then fire the yearning to self-realise, and support the work towards self-realisation.

 

I believe we all carry experiences in our consciousness from the many lives and turns on the wheel of Samsara that are right now sustaining us in our work from deep within our consciousness. 

I also believe that there many semi learnt lessons from the wheel of Samsara that are ready to be brought into the light of  our consciousness to be fully learnt.  

In the last life what is front of you is death and the Law. We need a good relationship with these two factors to negotiate a different destiny.

It is said that the essence knows that she is in the abyss involuting, and when the evolution process begins while being a mineral the essence still remembers that it is evoluting but when reaching animal form, the essence starts to forget and enters the human kingdom without recollection or awareness of having completed one turn of the great wheel of Samsara.

Gnostic Instructor to Impart Skills - (5010)

One of the important roles of a teacher of Gnosis is to teach the very important skills of acquiring information from our inner worlds.

It is so important to teach students the skills needed to make a connection to their inner worlds.

Gnosis is really not about knowledge but about practice. Eventhough the knowledge is profound and life changing what matters most is practice.

One of the most important skills to be taught is how to direct one's attention. How to relax the centres. How to activate one's consciousness. How to ask questions of their interior and how to listen for the answers. How to distinguish the flavour of the ego. How to learn about the ego from its flavour. How to pray and how to undo the conditioning of relativity and duality in the mind.  

With these skills all that we need for our work we can acquire. Without these skills we are like a tradesperson showing up to do a job without tools.

Life Subdues the Path - The Path Sublimates and Transcends Life - (5004)

It seems that when life and the path meet, it is life that always tries to subdue and crush the path. The path does not seem to do this to life.

Why?

Because life has no other means but violence. It does not have a transcendental nature and therefore the capacity to transcend the path. It is the path on the other hand that can transcend life.

It is just something that the people who walk the path have to suffer through - the humiliations from life. 

This is the nature of walking the path on this planet where life and the path form a cross of the vertical and the horizontal.

The cunning walker on the path uses life to help him or her to advance, conceals the path from those of life and organizes things such that the two do not collide.

End (5004). 

Mystical Death and the Three Demons: Class Notes - (5008)

When the work is part of our nature we stop doing the work. We are the work.

The goal is to make our work our life.

The path can be made to be instinctive in us. Then we are becoming the work. 

The human nature that we have has to be sublimated and surrenered to the Divine Being within us.

Life in the three demons is the wrong life. We must at some point see this. The three demons are desire, mind and ill-will.

Nothing changes abut us through time. Only the personality, our body and culture. However after the first mountain things change and we do defintely become a different person to the one that carried over from life to life.

Life is really a continuity of ourselves, however after the third mountain this continuity modifies.

To die in ourselves we must take into account the following points:

1.) Identity

2.) Point of Reference

3.) Contrast (between thinking doing and being, contrast between intention and actions) 

4.) Trust in the work.

Contrast is a permanent and constant self-evaluation.

Self-remembering is also remembering the past, present and future where we remember the last time that we did the same thing that we are doing now and we evaluate...

A dead person does not die again. 

We need total separation. We need along the way to dissolve resistance. With total separation we can resistance for what it truly is.

We must do our practices being awakened to death and to not know the ego will bring the fire of the demon outwards which we may regret.

We work in time and space. Everytime we miss an opportunity to do the work we miss an opportunity to die within ourselves.

 

When we don;t trust our egos, our mind we are getting to be awakened. The person in life trusts their pride, their mind, their opinions very deeply. 

Trust is go beyond all obstacles and impediments. To give our life for something is the maximum sign of trust. 

In the work on ourselves we are meant to trust in the Being as much as those people who trusted their cause and themselves and died for their cause.

The highest type of trust we can have in life is physical death, as our life is the most valuable thing we have in life.

In the spiritual work the highest value of trust is mystical death as it is total trust in our Divine Inner Being.

Integratioin is one of the supreme powers of the fourth state of consciousness.

The centres are integratesd in the physical body in our centres.

When the ego reaches the causal we have total trust in it. This is something to not allow to happen within us.

The key to manifest our consciousness physically is through the senses and the centres.

The consciousness also manifests in teh psychological, esoteric and ontological in different ways and through different elements.

Die mystically through the bodies. Don't die intellectually, have love and conviction, consciousness and fire to die.

Action is needed, action is will, emotion and action - motor centre.

The highest expression of trust is action not words.  Trust is action. 

We have to change the centre of gravity of our life. 

To die is what we nees to die in not want we want to die in.

End (5008).

Gnosis is the Psychology of the Superior Worlds Downloaded - (5006)

The Gnostic teachings are really the psychology of the superior worlds brought down, to be taught and lived here in the physical.

The Gnostic teachings don't come from the psychology of human beings living here in the physical world. They come from the psychology of those who live in the superior planes of consciousness. From those who are awakened and have a psychology free of the conditioning of the ego.

That is why the teachings are often not understood by people here, because the human three dimensional psychology gets in the way.

The psychology of the superior worlds represented by the teachings put us in touch with the superior planes and the greater universe.

The teachings at the same time allow us to see and understand the human psychology yet not be a product of it and not limited as it is.

End (5006).

Dream Scene Concentration to Recuperate Lost Memory - (5314)

There are some dreams, especially those where there was an important conversation, that is vital for us to remember but unfortunately are very difficult to remember.

The good news from my experience is that we can remember more and more of that important conversation. We just need a photo or a short video clip like memory of that conversation.

Visualise that scene again and concentrate. Keep that scene present in the mind's eye for as long as possible focusing on it and waiting for feelings and memories to come up.

Concentrate again and again the longer the better. The key is to concentrate and patiently and attentively listen for feelings and new memories to come out of the background of our subconscious.

We can also get help by chanting the very good mantra: RAOM GAOM between durations of concentrating on the dream scene.

We can also pray to the Divine Mother to bring the words and feelings during the conversation back to us. This really works also. 

In practice, this takes a few weeks visualising the dream scene every day to recuperate the important memories of it.

This is not a waste of time as we really strengthen our oneiric memory, our imagination, concentration and connection to our inner worlds all at the same time.

End (5314).

Fuse Three Brain Alignment and the Division of Attention - (4985)

Fuse

We can fuse the practice of aligning our three brains with the practice of dividing our attention (key S.O.L).

S.O.L

Our instinctive centre can perceive our environment (Location). Our motor centre does what we are doing (Object) and our emotional centre feels ourselves (Subject).

Intellect - Turn Off

The intellectual centre is best used when needed. That is when we are doing something that requires the intellect such as counting or scheduling or calculating. When not needed it is best left quiet as it interferes.

Divide Attention

So if we divide our attention over our three brains, in the direction of:

1.) perceiving through the instinctive centre our environment;

2.) becoming aware of the motor centre;

3.) becoming aware of the feeling of ourselves in the emotional centre, 

we can achieve an alignment of the three brains plus activate our consciousness.

Notes

Just some complementary notes. When we divide our attention we wake up in the moment we do it. The centre of gravity of the consciousness is the emotional centre. That is why through the emotional centre we can feel the consciousness and the flavour of ourselves as the consciousness perceives ourselves. 

Internal Bodies

Aligning the three brains also aligns the internal bodies. That is, we bring the emotional, mental and causal bodies into alignment.

End (4985).

Give Everything the Right Proportion: Class Notes - (5005)

Introduction

Tonight m.m.m spoke about laws useful to awaken.

Notes

How can we awaken consciousness taking into account cause and effect? In some way the one who is awakening remains unwaivered by cause and effect. Meaning in other words to be psychologically outside of cause and effect.

To awaken and stay awakened we need to take into account giving everything the right proportion.

To give everything the right proportion is balance. To give everything the right proportion we have to have some awakening in that area.

To give everything the right proportion we have to take into account the whole picture. It is very much related to the perception of the whole.

This law is one of the foundations of balance.

We are skeptical of others because we ignore the big picture, we forget the good of the past and because of that we then don't give others the right proportion and lose balance inside ourselves and in relation to them.

This law is physical, psychological, esoteric and ontological. 

It is very difficult to do the path if we forget all about giving things the right proportion.

The awakened one acts by means of laws and principles. In normal life people act by means of mind, personality and ego.

We are dying in ourselves when we do things by virtue of principles.

Personal views lead to abuse, plain and simple. Where as inpersonal views lead to balance and harmony.

The ego in many ways breaks this law.

When two people act according to this law both have to have the same understanding of this law and both agree on what is the right proportion.

Applying this law and other laws leads us to an impersonal life.

When we apply these laws we begin to dilute the personal perception, the personal life that we have that is supported by mind, personality and ego.

The Being in us walks the path. The path is not personal - our path doe not exist. The path of the Being is what exists. It is the path of the Being in us.

In order to die we must be awakened.

To be psychologically dead is to be awakened to psychological death. We are trypically asleep to death and that is why we don't progress in death.

To be outside cause and effect is to use the pain of offence to die within ourselves. If we are in a period of darkenss and we don't see anything keep working. This is to be outside of cause and effect.

Live our life by means of principles not by means of circumstances. This is what the awakened people do - they teach us this.

After applying these principles and laws we will end up finding the laws of our Being which are even tougher than what Master Samael laid down in the doctrine of Gnosis.

We can not bring our personal circumstances to the path because we adulterate the path.

What is it to give something the right proportion? To give a thought too much energy for example, where we later create a monster in our mind. 

The principles vary from moment to moment they are not fixed. 

We can't give eveyrthing the same amount to the same thing every moment because these laws change from moment to moment. This is good because it forces the consciousness to work.

Solutions are hidden in this law. The issues related to this law are only solved by applying the principles of the Being. Especially the values of trust, hope, love and faith.

The egos always exaggerate things and give the wrong proportion to things.

What happened in Lemuria was that they produced in humanity back then the wrong proportion, making them see the third dimension as the only dimension at the expense of all the other dimensions.

Also the Kundabuffer was exaggerated - it was left within the human being for too long.

We must apply this law inside of us and outside of ourselves amongst people and in nature also.

To see the right proportion of the solution you are going to apply. The solution is to be awakened.

To see all the issues and put cause and effect inside the different aspects.

We often also don't use the right centre to deal with the different issues.

Powerful enemies of this law are culture, education - for example becasue of culture and religion we can apply drastic measures. 

We can exaggerate authority, submission, a point of view, there is exaggeration on either side. What is on either side is always exaggerated and this casues the imbalnce.  

"Exageration destroys the virute."!

 

See in our life when we destroy a virtue by exaggerating it.

We must act to give everything the right proportion.

We can have the wrong perception of the right proportion. How do we calibrate our perceptions to the right proportion.

The highest expression of the Divine Diversity is the sacred individuality of the Monad.

Collective responsibility is something that we have in a Gnostic group. It is in many ways to be partaking of a replica of the Absolute. Which is something significant.

If we can't function well in a physical group we will not be able to function in our internal group. 

There is a secret special power of congolmerating people. The power of uniting people around you. The capacity to unify people around you is the same power that you will have to unite yourself inside of you.

To give the right proportion in a collective is to take care of my own responsibility to the collective not anyone elses.

The law is that a collecticve can do what an individual can not do. That is what our body is - it is a collective.

Destiny, Monads, Karma and the collective - the four lines of force present in any esoteric group.

End (5005).

There are Laws... The Types of Laws - (4988)

There are an almost infinite number of facts in this world and those facts are governed by laws. Those governing laws are much less in number and are mostly invisible to us. In turn those laws are governed by principles which are even less in number and are even more invisible.  

A lot of the cosmic laws coincide in being invisible to our eyes.

Some are more visible than others, yet they all appear to be partly or fully veiled to us. We only only see come to see them when by some kind 'good fortune' we one day discover them or they are taught to us.

There are laws that work no matter what, whether we know about them or not. Examples are the laws of karma, recurrence, return, entropy, the pendulum etc.

There are laws that only work when we know about them. Such as reincarnation, epigenesis, revolution etc.

About the laws that only work when we know about them, it is said that they only work when certain conditions are in place, by us.

There are laws that override other laws. 

There are laws that we need to surpass, such as recurrence, entropy, karma and return.

There are laws that need to be made within us. Such as the Law of Seven and the Law of Three.

There are laws that tie us down and hold us back. The Law of Accidents is one example.

There are laws that reduce the presence of other laws. One such example is conscious love.

Then there is the internal law, which is in our Inner Being. 

There are also laws which are occult and must be activated first and then applied. When we look beyond the human to the esoteric and to the Being, is when we are open to being able to activate these laws. 

Above all, with these laws that we activate, it is faith that we need to be able to work with all the laws. We have to have faith in them to work with them. 

In the end all the laws merge into their that are governing principles, and the all the principles merge into one principle which is God. God is unity and down here is the diversity.

End (4988).

Do a Good Study of the Word of an Ego - (4998)

Sometimes on the work on an ego we need a breakthrough.

To produce a breakthrough we need to come from a a new angle.

A new angle could be the word.

If we examine the use of the word that an ego has, we can get a lot of new understanding.

The word of any ego expresses it's logic. 

The word also expresses it's justification and reasons. 

From that point of seeing its justifications and reasons we can have something concrete to 'get our teeth stuck into' to dissolve.

Lose Fascination Win Back Power - (4996)

Fascination or giving something an exaggerated importance is to lose our power.

When we lose our power we lose control over ourselves.

We get fascinated because within our psyche we have made what we get fascinated with, to be something greater than ourselves. Something that we can't stand or resist or possibly overcome or be normal about.

To bring all things back to the real order of priority - the number one most important thing to ourselves and to everybody else, is the Inner Being.

When we get fascinated energy flows out of our psyche and into the ego or mental representation directly related to the fascination.

To not get identified we need to work on the fascination first. When the fascination is less we can then start to identify less and less. 

Identification concerns identifying with the ego that is related to the fascination. However, fascination makes our consciousness so quickly identify with the ego related to the fascination.

When we get fascinated we sign over precious values of ourselves. We sign over three things: one is attention, the second is psychological space and the third is the connection to our three brains. 

To work on fascination precisely means to sign over less and less of the above three precious values.

To give what we get fascinated with less attention, less time and less psychological space reduces the connection to the three brains.

When the connection to the three brains begins to weaken we start to regain control over ourselves.

Cultivating Respect for the Masters - (4997)

We ultimately learn respect for the masters by interacting with them...

Of course it is best to start with some respect. Usually the definition of a master inspires some kind of respect within us.

Later with our interaction we deepen that respect. However it starts from within us.

When we do petitions to the masters or invoke them, we are interacting with them internally. 

By visualizing while making a petition we are in their presence. Then we will feel what is appropriate and inappropriate. 

What we feel is appropriate is concentration, clean, clear and noble language, beautiful  imagery, appreciation, honour etc. etc.

When we do the opposite of what we feel is inappropriate, we start to deepen our respect. 

This way we prepare ourselves for when we meet the masters physically.

To Dissolve Pride it is Good to Be Wrong - (4999)

The pride and anger combination can be very strong.

Anger comes to protect pride when we don't accept we have got something wrong.

Always the stronger the anger the stronger the ego behind it.

For everyday pride it is a difficult impression to transform when we are told that we are justifying an error.

However, if we are able to accept that we can get things wrong and we don't feel 'more' or 'less' for having gotten that something wrong, we can transform that impression a lot easier.

So the key is to work on ourselves so that we feel normal or ok about us having gotten something wrong.

In other words don't feel disappointed that we got something wrong and don't feel that we should have gotten it right either, and most important of all, don't feel that we can't get things wrong or that people can't point out things to us that we get wrong.

The next point to cover is to recognise that we are wrong and then correct it. 

In truth we get so many things wrong and will do in the future. We shouldn't be scared of that - where we must place our importance is in the ability to recognise without pride our errors and dissolve them.

Human Identity is a Misery - (4992)

To adopt our identity as an essence is to feel elation! It is to feel a great vastness, to feel the immense span of time, to feel divinity, to feel a future, to feel the stars, to feel a connectedness to nature, to feel a place among the universal spirit of life, to feel possibilities unknown and to know one day we will be reeled into and partake fully of our interior Divinity as we are a part of it...

To adopt only our human identity is a real misery. We feel straight away: old age, ailments, the limitation of the short number of years of our life span, only human life and all its same age old issues and topics, human culture: beer, coffee, parties and celebrations, our short travels and overvalued possessions, the lifeless specifics of our career and above all the fear and dissatisfaction of our funeral...

It is no wonder why people who have fully and whole heartedly adopted a human identity, believe that there is nothing after death. As they are fully their human identity, and as death means the end of the human being, they too then must end. To have our identity as our essence transcends this problem. 

To understand why I say to feel a human identity feels miserable, do the following. Relax all your centres, especially your mind, and contemplate as quietly as possible what it means to have our identity as the essence. 

After a short while, to your surprise flashes of what it means will begin to surface ever so naturally and normally in your mind. Feelings of vastness and possibility, feelings of joy to be in Divinity and authentically a part of the superior planes of existence will also emerge. If we contrast the human identity with those feelings we will really feel that the human identity is miserable.

All that we end up feeling with an human identity is our short number of years and the small world of human trivia and drama that we live in and our need to experience all that we can before we die.

Law of Seven is Vertical and the Law of Four is a Cross - (4991)

The Law of Seven is vertical. It always works in a line, that is along a line that is either descending or ascending. 

The seven chakras, the seven bodies, the seven notes in an octave, the seven serpents of fire and light, the seven centres, the seven rounds and the seven races are all organizations of the creative results of the Law of Three flowing down a line.

The Law of Four is a complete breadth, a completed spectrum, a full width. The Law of Four sets down the stages of work and movement that are required to go through. The Law of Four says that the four stages must be worked through to attain the unity of completion.

There are the four states of consciousness to complete the awakening, there are the four colours of the Alchemical waters to awaken the fire, there are the four qualities of the sphynx to develop for the path and there are the four cardinal points that span the globe, the worlds of Kabbalah, the four Kayas, the Four Kabirs, the four kingdoms, the four vedas, the four ages, the four gospels, the four ways, the four pillars, the four elements, the square and the cross, the four seasons, our four limbs, the four mathematical operations (+-/*), the four phases of the moon...

Four plus three equals seven. Three is a triangle and four is a cross. The creative forces plus the stages that these creative forces pass through to span and expand through creation, produces the law of seven which is the organization of creation.

It is Tough for the Black Waters to Sacrifice - (4993)

The black waters that we all come to the knowledge with make it difficult for us to make sacrifices.

Sacrifices are the engine for anyone's progress in the spiritual field and in any walk of life.

The waters are made black from relating with our sexual energy in an unedifying way. Losing the sexual energy in any way, lust, adultery, using it for egoical purposes (pride, vanity, ambition), surrendering to desire etc. are ways of relating to the sexual energy that make it black.

The reason why this is, is because the actions that make the waters black do not require any kind of real conscious sacrifice. 

When we have the waters black we feel very uncomfortable, irritated, mysteriously fatigued and viscerally upset about making sacrifices, especially those that concern our possible spiritual development. 

There are many sacrifices, such as sacrifice our pain, our suffering, our egos and their desires as well as physical and psychological comforts etc. etc., that the black waters do not allow us to make.

To whiten the waters takes sacrifice and they are the result of sacrificing desire, laziness, many "I's" from previous sexualities, habits, ways of thinking and feeling, impressions and several other things that vary from individual to individual...

As the waters become more lighter or more refined we become more comfortable with making sacrifices.

Those who have whitened waters make sacrifices for the work and for the work of others with a certain happiness and calmness.

With sacrifice we help to whiten our waters and whitening our waters makes sacrifice easier. The more refined our mercury the more powerful it is.

That is why those on the path can make greater and greater sacrifices as the path itself calls for more and more, while at the same time the path refines more and more our mercury or waters.

How to Align the Three Brains - (4979)

Introduction

Follow this guide to align the three brains.

One - Environment and Activity

Know the environment you are in, and the activity you are in or are about to be involved in.

Two - Motor Centre

Know what you need to do with your motor centre, so that it will participate and align fully with the activity.

Put your motor centre inline with that activity. Adopt the appropriate posture or position that puts your motor centre fully into the activity.

Three - Instinctive Centre

Know what you need to do with your instinctive centre so that it will participate and align fully with the activity.

Often with the instinctive centre it is to be in a state of relaxation. That is in a state where itches, movements, fiddling, scratching, gestures, grimaces, twitches, nervy distractions and agitations are absent.

Calm the instinctive centre by breathing in and exhaling out longer to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. 

Four - Sexual Centre

Know what you need to do with your sexual centre. Except for the Alchemy there is nothing that we need to do with the physical part of sexual centre.  

However the energy of the sexual can be used for every and any activity we participate in.

Align your sexual centre with the current activity by using imagination and will and a mantra such as HAM-SAH to move sexual energy to the other centres and to the consciousness.

If the physical part of the sexual centre is not relaxed it is a distraction for activities that do not physically involve it. 

Five - Emotional Centre

Know what you need to do with your emotional centre so that it will participate and align fully with the activity.

Generate and make your emotional centre to feel the emotion most inline with the activity. To feel the value, enthusiasm and contentment to participate in the activity is to align our emotional centre with the activity. 

Six - Intellectual Centre

Know what you need to do with your intellectual centre so that it will participate and align fully with the activity.

Put your intellectual centre inline with that activity. Think about the activity, follow the activity in your intellect, focus your thoughts on the activity. This will be easy if the emotional centre has been previously aligned. 

Make your intellect clear about the why and how of the activity and engage the intellect with those matters. Making the the intellect to participate in the activity without any distractions is to really align the intellect with the activity. 

Seven - Keep Alignment

Now with the centres aligned, the key is to keep them aligned. This is concentration. The aligning or focusing of the centres is not the hard part. The hard part is to keep them aligned. Keeping them aligned we will find that the best way to do that is to watch over them and continually keep aligning them. Not to forget that they need to be continually kept aligned.

Each new impression potentially knocks them out of alignment.

Conclusion

By always aligning your three brains you will live each activity consciously and fully, plus you will activate the Law of Three which will bring about a useful result that you or everyone lese involved will benefit from.

Arcanum 4 Notes - (4990)

Points to Understand Arcanum Four

Arcanum number 4 is Atman, Chesed, the spirit, or the Intimate in us. 

Atman in us - the spirit in us, is the synthesis of consciousness and will. It is the magical part in us that combines consciousness and will that walks so to speak, using consciousness and will as its two legs. 

Master Samael says that Atman is a warrior is from Mars. Atman is triumpher. If He wants His realisation, it is a certainty that He will get it.

This Arcanum represents the masculine qualities of nature. Like Arcanum 1 - The Magician but in a different way.

The word Emperor indicates an authority, a ruler and intermediary between the Earth and the Heavens. In the case of the human being, the Emperor is the intermediary between Kether and the essence. 

Arcanum 4 is a replicated instance of Arcanum 1 in a different scale of creation. It calls forth the unity  in the Holy Four, as Arcanum 1 does in the Holy Unity. It brings a harmony and brings the parts to complete a cycle.

Number 4

This is a number that so frequently appears in the teachings. If we look at the places where the number four appears, we see a pattern. That pattern is one where the number covers, makes complete, constitutes all. 

Indeed the number four Master Samael says is the Holy TETRAGRAMMATON. The Absolute plus the Three Primary forces. Which is the fully unity. The Being is the Three Primary forces and the Absolute make up a complete unit. 

Number 3 is a creative number, a number which is to produce the result. Number four is a number which expands the creation, to cover all the process, bringing it to a completion. For example the four seasons, the four phases of the moon, the four colours of alchemy, the four states of consciousness.  

1+2+3+4 = 10 which reduces to 1 which is the Monad. So the Monad, Arcanum 1 is present in Arcanum 4.

Arcanum Four is very much a card of solution and coverage. It presents the parts needed to make something whole. 

It is the number of including and making whole. For me the essence of Arcanum number 4 is to make whole, including bringing the diverse parts into a unity - it is the work of Arcanum 1 realised in creation, where there are indeed diverse parts needing to be united.

The centre of gravity of Kether is Chesed. So Chesed or Atman does the work of Kether, here in creation. As m.m.m says "Atman is the man that works". 

We must all cause our consciousness to awaken through the four states and cause our waters to refine through the four colours of the Alchemy, we must develop the four qualities of the sphinx and so on.

Card

Master Samael does a wonderful job of explaining the symbolism in Arcanum 4. 

What stands out the most for you? That could be something to pay close attention to. What stood stands out  mostly for me is the four pointed hat and the cat in the cubical stone. 

Master Samael says that the hat represents the alembic still, which has four parts to it. 

Master Samael says something enigmatic which is "The four concordances exist in Arcanum number 4. These are: Affirmation, Negation, Discussion and Seduction."

These are really the four ways that we can agree with something. 

What to Expect

From experience, the nature, influence and the overriding quality of the forces present in Arcanum 4 are those of gain, forward movement, clear sight, success, solution and a degree of completion. All in all it is a favourable card.

It would mean that there will be a number of positive avenues to walk through and use towards the benefit of one's aims. There still could be difficulties, but with more ways to overcome them. 

Axiom

"Give blessings unto the labour of thy hands, and place thy heart into thy thoughts."

This axiom reminds us of using all three brains, that is all five centres. Things are only realised or, made real or completed when we put all three brains to work. Things become balanced, when we bring the work of the three brains to fruition.

The Three Subtle Feelings in a Recurrence - (4989)

There are three subtle feelings in any recurrence.

First

The first subtle feeling is that very quietly in the background, something, someone (a “I”) within us is happy. The flavour of the happiness is that another cycle is complete, the actor or actors in the recurrence successfully fulfilled another mission.

Second

The second is that of an temporary subtle illusory feeling, that having fulfilled the recurrence is something good and it's means something good...Something is now solved to not happen again ...

Third

The third, is more of a knowing, and it is that a little later an emptiness and dropping down feeling appears, as the consciousness perceives and realises that a future recurrence has been set to occur and the power of the recurrence is now a little stronger. 

Awareness of the Subtle Feelings Equals

When our consciousness is aware of these three feelings within us, it realizes what just happened was a recurrence and that nothing new is coming. 

Then the consciousness impels us to work furiously to erase the future recurrence that has been set in place to occur.

Ray of Death Notes - (4784)

Introduction

This post presents some notes about the ray of death which have been taken from the teachings of Master Samael, my own reflections and observations, and some things others have said.

As far as my own reflections and observations are concerned, please take them as that - observations and reflections of an individual, which may or may not be relevant or coincide with your own observations and understanding.

Notes

From the Cosmic Perspective

The last ray of the seven major rays. With the first ray being life and the last being death. The Moon and Saturn.

The ray of death is ruled by the planet Saturn. Interesting how the moon is small and Saturn is a colossus. There has to be something in that for us to reflect on...

It is because death is an energy that opens up the consciousness to the great vastness of the mystery of the origin of life... Therefore a greater planet is needed to channel that vastly powerful force. 

The rays of life and death are opposites. In many ways they perform opposite functions. Yet both serve creation and the Spirit.

The genie of the planet Saturn is Orifiel as Master Samael teaches. There are how many thousands or hundreds of thousands of angels who work under the direction of Orifiel, that bring the function of the ray of Death into the spheres of creation.

The Inner Being of any one of us could be one of these angels of Death that works under God Saturn - Orifiel.

To invoke the God of Saturn - Orifiel always feels like a serious undertaking. Often the answer to the invocation are some difficult circumstances in life that all stop as soon as we become aware of the psychological errors that we need to 'die' in. That is, when certain illusions on our part, have been broken.

The ray of death concerns psychological and physical death as well as death in other spheres, that is not commonly spoken about.

It has been said that we can work with Orifiel - God Saturn, for matters of physical and psychological death as well as all matters related to probate, deceased estates and property.

It would make sense that each solar system has a ray of death, however depending on the planet and the solar system, the ray of death functions differently. Here on the planet Earth amongst a humanity that has a sleeping consciousness with a high rate of death, the angels of death have a lot of work to do...

There are the angels of Death and then there is Death. Death as the Grim Reaper, as the skeletal scythe wielding entity, represents the ray of death moving and working in the Microcosmos level of creation. 

The Microcosmos level is amongst human beings, how death appears working amongst the other levels of creation such as the Macrocosmos (galaxies) we are not sure. Maybe the same, but on a greater scale.

The Ray of Death is linked to the Cosmic Mother as Master Samael teaches. He says that no essence can be disincarnated by the ray of Death without the permission of the Cosmic Mother.

This ray keeps a balance in creation, between life descending and life ascending. Specifically it balances any law or principle that descends into creation. 

For the natives of this ray, Orifiel - God Saturn is like a father.

In the Esoteric Sense

The ray of death opens to the ultra. The ray of death liberates the essence. It opens the way for the essence to be released from the physical to be able to submerge into the spiritual.

Death is a process of liberating, while life is a process of accumulating. 

Everything that has a beginning must have an end. This is how by law of the cosmos, the rays of life and death function. 

What the Monad initiates, Life starts, and Death ends. 

Death completes the cycle which brings with it the wisdom acquired through the cycle.

Death is associated with wisdom and is transformed into something sublime with wisdom. 

Death and maturity go hand in hand. A mature essence is calm and may smile at the presence of death. Yet an essence without wisdom will see death with horror. 

At the moment of death we all see the angel of death. Death can be our only esoteric experience in life. Death is certain and is seen by all of us and touches all of us. 

Both life and death work with the breath of life. Life begins with an inhalation and death works with our last exhalation. There we can see that Death is about letting go.

The wise know death is the best advisor on the matter of how to live life wisely. Death as silent council.

The direction of the ray of Death as a sum total is upwards. The direction of the ray of Life as a sum total is downwards.

On the initiatic path the rays of Life and Death entwine and work together bringing life to the Spirit. The ray of Life through the Kundalini creates and brings life inwards and through the ray of Death the spirit is freed from its prison of conditioning and given a new life.

It is present in any cycle. It takes things to a new life, that is to a birth. Something must die so that something new can be born. This ray gives new life. 

This ray is the new, the mystery. It works with the Law of Interior Spaces and the Law of Absorption. 

This ray works with the ray of the Law and the ray of Life. They form a trinity.

As the ray of Life is related to the Great Mother of all of us, the ray of Death is also related to Her. We have our own individual Mother Death, Hecate, Proserpine, Coatlicue etc. just as we have the aspect of our Divine Mother that gives us birth. 

That is why Death is often to referred to as She, as a feminine entity.

There is the magic of death, which people in certain cultures more than others work with. As death is a real energy and consciousness in the universe that has its mysteries and its magic. Santa Muerte or Madre Muerte in Mexico is an example. Each mythology has much to say about the mysterious ways of Death.

The Grim Reaper, is the representation of the ray of death sometimes seen by human beings.

The mantra HELIARATOM SANDRON is a mantra to ward off death for a while...

The number of the ray of death is 13 and the number 3 is also important in relation to the matters of death. As three creates, three also dissolves. The power to create is also the same power that dissolves.

The creative power of death is destruction so as to create a new. It is similar to the Holy Denying, which is why the Intimate Christ, which is the Holy Denying, dies to give new life and works incessantly within us to help us to die psychologically.

Death works in three stages as Master Samael explains. We all die naturally in thirds. That is one brain at a time. The hold of Death over us is three fold. She (Death) has an agent in our heart, in our brain and in our sex.

Some cultures relate better to this ray than others. The west does not relate well to it. The Orient certainly does. Some cultures think in alignment with the philosophy of death. 

Minimalism, the code of the samurai warrior, an honourable death, kamikaze, hari-kari (Seppuku) are all interesting to reflect upon about how death is woven into the culture and the way of life. Whereas in the west death is banished far away from culture and the way of life.

Death is related to imagination, as it is the dissolution of form, and life is the shaping of form. 

The angels of death can help in quietening the feelings of grief of someone's passing, and when a relationship ends, they can help to sever psychological and esoteric links, which once cut will set both parties free.

Some angels of Death are specialists in solving cases of possession (by negative entities). Which makes sense as the function of the angels of death is to end and sever that which should no longer be.

The four genie of Saturn: Aphiel, Cashiel, Sehatiel and Zarahiel are very powerful angels of the ray of Death. Invoke these four together or just singly and they can help in those matters mentioned above.

The angels of death even though they report to a far away planet - Saturn, they are not that far away from us. They are the closest to us.

A role of some angels of death is to awaken people as much before they are going to die. 

From the Perspective of the Monad

The Monads always animate and make the rays alive and functional in creation. Hence the angels of Death. I think every mythology and culture knows about the angels of Death.

The functions of the angels of death are to sever the silver chord which connects the essence to the physical body and to help the essences to awaken to their new reality without physical body.

The angels of death look after the essences in the higher dimensions, and for those that have won a holiday in the superior worlds, they guide the essence on that journey.

The angels of death also have special faculties to conjure the different "I's" that interfere with their work. The "I's" of any human being don't want to lose their physical body and fight against the angels of death internally and make the recently deceased essence panic.

For the masters of the initiatic path the angels of death vest themselves in gold while for the common human being they vest themselves in silver, grey and black.

The angels of death have a uniform to perform their function. A scythe, scissors are their instruments. Outside of their function they, as Master Samael says, are splendidly luminous beings who have temples that are full of rich and lush gardens with great libraries holding books in which the dates of disincarnation of human beings are listed. 

The ray of death serves our Monads just as the ray of life does. 

If a Monad were to travel through the rays - the ray of death is an excellent preparation for the ray of wisdom and the ray of wisdom is an excellent preparation for the ray of the Law.

As with all the rays, the Monads that belong to this ray have special faculties appropriate to this ray. Some are mentioned below.

A special clairvoyance bestowed... So as to know when someone is going to die and in what circumstances. A special vision to see Death and to see the death of certain others. 

The scent of approaching death. As death nears the special smell of death increases. Those of this ray have an innate recognition of this smell and know it. They say it smells of flowers... 

Innate knowledge in deciphering and reversing the works of ill-intended magic.

Special powers to remove those entities that posses human beings against their will or intention.

Death as a special quality to cut through illusion. Those of the ray of death can be terrible in the way of abruptly dissolving the illusions and dreams of others. 

There are great temples of the ray of death in the internal dimension of the Pacific Ocean and in an area close to the North Pole. Just as the palace of the Divine Law is said to be in the internal dimensions of Paris. 

Maybe the influence of this temple has made its way to the lands of the Orient and the lands of the North where death is an ever present danger.

It seems some Christian religious orders were touched by the ray of Death such as the Capuchin Order for example, where their monasteries are decorated with the skeletons of their deceased monks..

In the Human Sense

As we get older we come more and more under the influence of the ray of death. We can see how the ray of death works on human beings making them softer, kinder, more giving, more forgiving, more spiritual, more philosophical, more loving, more surrendering, wiser... If only the elderly had dissolved their "I's" they would live fully these qualities.  

People of the ray of death are comfortable with closure, endings, definite decisions, catastrophes, the end of illusion and deception, radical detachment and the end of times...

People of the ray of death certainly have strength as the ray of death is not a force to be played around with. It is extraordinarily powerful - more powerful than any human being. Yet its power surrenders to the Monad in the human being who has defeated Her (death).

Of course there is a great amount of love in the ray of death. Often specific Zodiac signs such as Taurus help in bringing this quality of love out, as the sign of Taurus belongs to the house of Venus - Love. 

The special scent of death may have been known to people of this ray when they were children and later with the work and path, they recuperate this faculty.

The sign of the Zodiac can also counteract in the person the gloomy influence of the ray of Death. 

Sometimes the people of the ray of death are a little bit strange...

To fall under the zodiac sign of Capricorn and belong to the ray of Death is a bit too much. A double Saturnian charge. The tendency to doom and gloom and pessimism is a bit too strong.

Very select in their social circles as the ray of death is select in its visitations.

The scythe, scissors, an old well-used trusty knife, flowers - especially lilies, an owl, jackets with a hood, quiet and lonely places, a monastery, a simple life etc... 

The colours black and silver feel comfortable and may even be liked. 

Crows, vultures, owls, ibis' and nocturnal animals are often smiled at and understood. There is no doubt that these four birds are very intelligent and can sense death as well as a fellow member of the ray of Death. These birds especially the owl and crow are magical, they know something about magic...

Death is seen as matter-a-fact and not as a tragedy. More as a matter of life and is felt with a certain relief and special inner calm and happiness, which others rarely feel.

A tendency to be aware of the death notice columns in the newspapers and in the news, as it could be one's own Being who was officiating in the passing of someone...

It has two sides in human beings. The positive and the negative side. On the negative side there is a tendency towards ending, cutting and destruction, plus pessimism, dark and gloomy perspectives. On the positive side it is council and advice to bring issues to fruitful completion and to liberate intelligently all that is not needed and no longer useful.

As with all the rays, the ray of death must be sublimated. The sublimation of the ray of death is supreme death within to die more profoundly to be absorbed within our own Internal Real Being. As this progresses, and as the ray of death is very sociable (reaches out to all of us) it will with love help others to do the same.

Hospitals, not necessarily funeral parlours. As it is in hospitals, that the ray of death functions. In funeral parlours the ray of death has already completed its physical work and the ray of death's work continues in the astral far away from the funeral parlour educating and helping the essence recently detached from its physical body. 

The mysterious 21 grams... This is the physically measurable taking of death. Death takes the life of a person from the physical into the internal worlds and the ray of life returns this same life to the physical once again.

Death does not touch the soul only the body.

Death as a special quality to cut through illusion. Those of the ray of death can be terrible in the way of abruptly dissolving the illusions and dreams of others. 

Conclusion

Hopefully what has been written here will be useful to confirm or get a step closer to knowing the ray of your Inner Being.
