Gnostic Wisdom

People that have the same psychology as us are the best people to be around to discover ourselves and to work on ourselves. They are the best to help us to dissolve the many false concepts we have about ourselves. As they are very similar to us, observing them and interacting with them shows us what we are like. We often intensely mechanically reject such people because it is the way that all those false concepts use to protect themselves. End (5093).

To voluntarily bring a difficult situation into our life is to trust our work. No doubt about it. We don't invite in difficulty because we fear the difficulty will stay and not leave until we physically die... But that is not the case and it is a lack of trust in our Being. The Being brings us difficulty for a purpose and takes it away once that purpose has been fulfilled. To bring in a difficulty means that we trust our work and our Being. Because we know if we work on ourselves well enough our Being will take it away in the same way that it came. End (5092).

We need the attitude of being so happy and wanting to see our reality.  Grateful for the opportunities to see our reality. No matter what the circumstances are and how they unfold. Value the discovering the truth about ourselves no matter what side of duality it may fall onto. This constitutes turning the lights on within ourselves so that the light that illuminates our psychology can enter us. End (5091).

The strength of our Atman or Spirit is in our Intimate Christ. Our intimate Christ is also in our Human Soul where our will is. The Father - Atman trusts the Intimate Christ and His strength is in the Intimate Christ. The Intimate Christ uses the strength of the Father that is in Him to lift us - the essence upwards. If the Father trusts in the Intimate Christ so can we. The best combination is work and trust. Which is will in full action making things happen. In trusting and working we sync with the Father which is to trust in the Intimate Christ. The Intimate Christ is the mediator and the unifier. I feel that those people - I guess those people are the bodhisattvas who fight for the liberation of others as the Intimate Christ fights for us - the essence, are really a blessing for humanity. They embody the spirit of the Christ.  End (5090).

The Kliphos or infra-dimensions of nature are the inverted tree of life. At each level we find a relative and inverted expression of the Divinity, just as when we climb the tree of life we find a new and unfolding of Divinity. As soon as we enter one of those infra-regions the 'new' inverted God appears. A certain switch in the atmosphere is apparent and if we have the "I's" in our psychology that correspond to that region a certain change occurs in our psychology. New desires, idols and priorities of an inferior kind appear in our psychology that were not there before. It is just the same as when we are walking in the open air looking up at the sky and God for us is there within us and also everywhere outside of us, then we enter a building and God for us then changes. If it is a casino that we enter the new God becomes winning the jackpot, if it is a bar it is something else and if it is a party itf it something else altogether but it is not the normal God - it ...

The value of force, love and creativity is trapped in various logic bottles which we call the "I's" of anger. All of the logic bottles must be discovered and broken with comprehension. A logic bottle is a mental logic that the essence gets trapped in. It is a thought process that the essence comes to believe in. Usually the logic is something that is partly true. Never fully true and that is where we can get into it to modify it. Some of these logic bottles try to tell us that anger protects us. That is, that anger is used to protect ourselves from the humiliation of recognising we have a defect or lack a certain capacity which our pride thinks we possess. It is never a wasted exercise to see our own reality. It always brings light and that brings truth and freedom to improve. The other logic bottles try to tell us that anger solves problems and solves conflicts. It doesn't really solve problems and conflicts, it makes them go away, by submitting those involved with  ...

There are those in Gnosis who yearn to make the path their destiny... There are those in Gnosis who don't yearn to make the path their destiny... This one yearning sets one apart from the other. This one yearning opens one up to embrace the precepts and laws of the path. It produces an openness  and readiness to do whatever it takes to fulfil one's chosen destiny of the path. This is not understand by those who do not yearn for the path as their destiny. Without this above mentioned yearning the opportunities of the path are the same as the opportunities in life. They can be rescheduled, moved, cancelled, passed on etc. etc. similar to a non-urgent dentist appointment...  End (5089).

The teachings are quite well known these days. Everyone can find the theory to self-realise themselves. Yet there are secrets... The secrets are in the methods, that is the ways and means by which the theory is realized, often only released by master to disciple. Master Samael is a person who revealed the major secrets of the realisation. He gave us the practical methods.  He showed us exactly how to walk the path and how to work as he says in the "fiery forge of cyclops". He did not have time to reveal all the lesser methods (secrets). That is up to us to discover and realise. End (5087).

Experience tell us that the following is true:  "Every sacrifice we make for a sublime idea is transformed into gold, into light. That is the secret: the idea for which you work. If you work only for yourself, the effort you put into satisfying your own desires, needs, instincts, passions and greed is, in fact, energy lost ." Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov . Working to satisfy our own desires tends to produce a slump or a low point in us. It is not a multiplying and forward moving exercise. Much of our week has elements of this kind in it and that is why our weeks, years and life seem not to be going anywhere. Any cause is an idea that is far above, far greater and far outside of our mind, personality and desires. It makes sense that when we work on something with the ego we don't magnetize or draw closer the light and the gold from above to us. Because there is no light or gold to draw more light or gold to it in the first place. Selfish efforts and selfish causes don't put...

We can conceive that humility gives people the following powers: To learn from anyone in any location or time where there is a lesson and even when there does not appear to be one. 📏To be open to the new. 📏To see when we are wrong. 📏To accept that we are wrong and to make just amends. 📏To receive advice. 📏To advise correctly. 📏To know our right place in any given situation. 📏To listen. 📏To speak correctly. 📏To be patient. 📏To relate internally and externally correctly to others. 📏To lead correctly avoiding dictatorship and weakness. 📏To earn and receive in justice. 📏To give first so as to receive later - to fulfill the law of reciprocity. 📏To give respect. To act respectfully and keep respect. 📏To share. 📏To trust and surrender. 📏To do the will of the Father who is in secret. 📏To correct our course of thinking, feeling and acting. 📏To co-operate. 📏To achieve balance. 📏To bring harmony within and outside of ourselves. 📏To see better our reality. 📏To relate correct...

No-self is our direction. No-self is what our consciousness is. Our essence or consciousness does not identify as a self. When we are in the past and future we are a self. Our memories, our pain, our experiences and constant  thought processes make up our 'self'. Only in this very moment is there no self. In this very moment there is only our consciousness.  Only in the moment can we bring and apply truly any value/virtue. End (5084).

We human beings have so many bad habits to do with imagination. For example, masturbation is one, masturbation is really a bad use of the imagination. No one masturbates wihtout using their imagination or rather mechanical imagination known as fantasy. Fantasy excites the sexual centre and maintains that unnatural excitation until the energy is lost. Without fantasy the excitation of the sexual centre would not occurr and the energy would not be lost. A more natural arousal of the sexual centre would occur when the setting or circumstances are fitting.  If we used the imagination well, in other words rightly or correctly as it was intended to be used, we would be much more awake and free of many bad habits. The wrong use of imagination makes our consciousness to sleep. It is worth doing a inventory of our we relate to ur imagiantion. That is how we use it to make ourselves more asleep or more awake. End (5083).

When we are working to cultivate a value of our Inner Being commonly known as a virtue we do two things. One is that we educate and train our free essence in the ways or psychology of the virtue/value. The second thing that we do, which happens later and often without us knowing, is that we start to call that value/virtue from wherever else it is within us. This second thing that we do is very important to know about. Many are the people who study and practice the virtues through the means of yoga and other spiritual forms only later to exprience intense darkness. This happens because people do indeed develop the virtue, they educate their essence and their centres in the virtue and they reach a certain plateau. All the light they have is cultivated and that light is powerful and magnetic and it draws the same virtue out within us. The only place left to draw that same value out is from within the darkenss from where it is trapped within us, in our "I's". If we have love ...

Introduction The meaning of any inner inquietude that we feel is to know more about the topic of the inquietude through direct experience. To know more often starts with understanding intellectually what is known about the topic. This post is a collection of information about the brain. It represents the seeking of infroimationt o begin to fulfil an inquietude. Brain Virtue and Awakening No doubt that the brain pays a hugely important role in the awakening our consciousness and in the relation between body, mind, consciousness and our Inner Being. I heard recently that the virtues are centred in our brain, and that when a person fully awakens their consciousness, all the cells of the brain become illuminated making the brain to become like a light bulb - fully luminous.

Beauty is a virtue, but one not understood all that well. True too, we are all attracted to beauty. Those men and women who walk down the cat walks and are the cover magazines and play the main roles in romantic comedies are not really beautiful... The true virtue of beauty is something of the soul. It is the light that shines from the nobility of the soul. It is the harmony of thought, feeling and action that radiates from the essence of any person that has an organised psyche and can express the eternal values of their Inner Being. From this point of view even the physically ugliest person can be beautiful because of the high degree of values and clear outward expression of those values. Any act of kindness and love is beautiful. In fact all the virtues of the soul in action are beautiful. They all move and inspire us which is what beauty does. God can only be beautiful. As in the past all the Gods were depicted with great beauty. Back hundreds of years again when things were differe...

The "I" of fear often answers the phone and the front door. Fear commonly plays a big part in giving and receiving reprimands. Yes, in giving reprimands, it is there in the background. The feeling of fear rises before receiving a reprimand, and during a reprimand, especially when we realise there is no 'escape'. Because of that feeling of fear spiking during a reprimand, we often over-react making things much worse. This is where trust comes in. We need trust to open ourselves up to the truth, and to trust in the calming and liberating qualities of truth and justice. We only ever get what is just and if it is not just, compensation will always with 110% certainly come to us. The role of truth is to free ourselves and to bring in the light, which is consciousness. We need trust to embrace the consciousness, even when it hurts our pride. That's the key, if we don't embrace consciousness because of pride we will commit an injustice.  When we are unjust pain is go...

When you really want to get anger out of your human machine sweet words a have powerful potency to sooth things inside and outside of ourselves.  Often we are misjudged as being weak when doing that but is that true that we are weak? Only we know that it isn't weakness, that it is really a strength of the consciousness to do that.  Others who judge that way will change their ways when they get angry and decide to speak with sweet words. End (5078).

The same "I" of pride that likes to reprimand is the same one that rebels against the authority of others. If we like to reprimand others it is truly difficult that we stand being reprimanded by others. In Gnosis we unknowingly create a lot of pride because we think we know better and more...yet in reality we are the same, hence the pride to believe that we are something that we are not. If we don't like being reprimanded we need to work directly on pride. There is a pride within us, that believes that our way of things is best or ok.  There is no doubt we find reprimands unfair and for that reason we protest and swirm will be receiving one.  In retrospect we say to ourselves: 'if only there was that element of love I could of handled it a lot better'.  That is an interesting and very useful clue. It is the sense of being harmed by another person directing a harmful force towards us against beyond our right to be respected (treated fairly). Of course what we cons...

With the increasing degeneration of society taking the norm further and further away from the Gnostic principles, it is not easy bringing up children, especially if you are a Gnostic parent. What do parents do? Allow their children to experience everything against their principles and better judgment and watch their children degenerate and leave the family home unprepared, or clamp down and restrict causing the children to be unhappy and eventually rebel and leave the same? Of course it always depends a lot on the individual essence yet the impressions of modern life with its degenerating ways have a lot of power, in most cases enough power to capture the imagination and will of most children. All that Gnostic parents can really do, is to consciously educate their children the best that they can, by making their own consciousness as bright and sharp as possible to educate with clarity and love.  Employing a lot of tact is more important than ever, to allow experience yet maintain a...

Who could deny that - that the seven rays are in our physical body? The physical expressions of the seven rays plus others, are active in our physical body right now. I believe nothing needs to be said to illustrate this point. Before I give any examples just have a think about the different rays and you will quickly see for yourself how there is medicine, force, law, life, death, art, love, wisdom, politics, order, command, liberation at work in our body here and now. End (5076).

When it comes to our own mind and other people, the most important thing is to NOT think anything negative. Any negative thought, any analysis, discovery or conclusion that paints a negative picture of another person is best let go of and forgotten. Abandon negativity towards others for our own benefit. Read on for reasons why.  Comprehension is different to any conclusion arrived at by analysis because it does not leave negativity in our mind.  Comprehension sees the reality of the another person, that they for example have certain "I'" to dissolve etc. As comprehension is light, that light can help the other person, but negativity is not light and it can't help the other person. It's not helpful. In practice this is absolutely the best thing to do - drop negativity related to others. It is so helpful to every sphere, inside and outside of ourselves. In arguments and difficult conversations the negativity that we have been harbouring all comes out, often confusin...

Introduction 🔔To apply a virtue we need to know about it. (Even though the virtues are within our essence we need to bring them out of our essence into consciousness.) 🔔To remedy an egoic state of consciousness we need to apply the right virtue. We really know it when we are applying the right virtue as an antidote. 🔔To apply the virtues we need to know which egoic states they are a remedy for. 🔔To apply the  virtues we need to know their area of application. 🔔To apply the virtues we need to know the different ways to apply it. The right angle to come from. 🔔To apply the virtues we need to know their psychology. 🔔To help us apply the virtues we need to know their complements. 🔔To better apply a virtue we need to know how much of it we have and how much of it we have as ego. 🔔Often in the process of mystical death we just naturally without thinking about apply the right virtue and we progress a lot quicker. Yet sometimes we can't progress any quicker until we consciously an...

The virtues of the Inner Being that express through the essence don't have a logic. They have a psychology rather than a logic. There is the psychology of love, the psychology of trust, the psychology of gratitude etc.  The virtues are multi-faceted and have many ways of expressing, they are flexible and change as needed in each circumstance. The psychology of each virtue is the psychological expression of certain laws and principles of the Inner Being and the Absolute. It is the "I's" - the conditioned essence that have a logic. A logic is a set way of thinking. What happens is that our mind has logic and reasoning and a piece of our essence becomes bottled or trapped in the logic of the mind and that bottling of the essence along with some sexual energy creates the "I". We have to know the logic of the "I" and undo it and a the same time embrace the psychology of the opposite virtue. End (5073).

First step is to remember when we have had hope. The time and circumstance does not matter.  As an example we usually have experienced hope in the past when we were teenagers and we would put ourselves in close vicinity of the person we liked hoping that they would notice us and maybe talk to us.  We would make big efforts to work out where they would be next so that we could keep appearing in same places, events, and parties hoping that they would see us and smile or talk to us. Even though for the last ten times they didn't seem to notice us, yet moved out of hope we continued to make efforts to appear at the same place despite the many apparent failures.  That's an example of hope and its moving power. So we grab that feeling with our memory and we then transfer that feeling of hope to our Inner Being. Hoping in His power within us, hoping in his coming closer to us and hoping in us moving closer to Him within ourselves. Have hope in the work and keep going to the work...

General and the Particular There are two angles from which to approach this question: from the general and the particular. Starting with the general prepares for the particular. General The general all starts with changing the way we see ourselves. We always think, feel and act in accordance with what we see that we are. If we change the way we see ourselves we will change the way we think, feel and act.  The change is to see ourselves as a soul - as a psychology. A psychology that is made up of many values that are the means of expression of our Spirit. This means to see ourselves at every moment as an expression of these values. We are really an energy of our Being expressing through our psychology. Whether it be free expression of conditoined expression. To change the way we think truly we need to be these values in actions. This is psychological and esoteric thinking. It is not human thinking. To be these values we first need to know a few things. One is that we are also our a...

When people teach others they are never just teaching one person. They are in time teaching many through that one person. That one person we teach will teach or come into contact with others and teach others either directly or indirectly through example what they have learnt. Teaching is a very cause engendering activity. This is because it enters what we teach into the cause and effect chain. What affects one person then affects others and the chain connects and continues onwards in time and space.  Basically, people who teach end up teaching others they haven't met and may not ever meet. End (5070).  

We can work in the dissolution of the ego for many years and make progress but then come to something of draught. To break the draught we need the complement which is to find the values and apply them directly. Really mystical death is a two way process. We work to dissolve and then we work to bring the value. It is "Solve Et Coagula". It is like we are a house that through mystical death we empty of intruders and then by applying the virtue we bring light filling the hosue with light and beatuiful aromas.  If the any of the intruder egos were to come back they will find light and pleasnat aromas and be repelled.  In short, applying the right value equals a breakthrough. If we apply a value and we don't feel a breakthrough we are applying the wrong value or a value that is not the exact fit. End (5069).  

In the beginning of the work all that we have at our disposal is memory and vigilance. We have to use our memory so much, to remember the teachings, the work and the practice of self-remembering. We shouldn't be ashamed to remember, we should use it as much as we can. It will start off intellectually then it will pass onto being more emotional and then more and more natural until it becomes instinctive where it happens by itself or with the slight prompting. Remember remember remember the teaching and ourselves as often as we can. Use whatever memory that we use, just use it to remember and refine it as you go along working. End (5068).

Here is a simple yet profound prayer that helps cultivate these three virtues, drawing us closer to our Inner Being and at the same time bringing our Inner Being closer to us. "Beloved Inner Being I hope in your power, I believe in your love and I love your wisdom." Pray it with concentration and depth and sincerity. Pray it understanding each part and you will see how it imparts an inner strength to us. End (5067).  

The love you carry within you is inside of you. No one can get inside of us and diminish that love. This can only happen if we listen to what others say and then we ourselves diminish it. No one else diminishes it. Others try to convince us to diminish it, if that love for something or someone is not convenient for their interests. But it only diminishes when we ourselves do it. We are always responsible for it and in control of our love that we carry inside. We should always allow love to flow even if it is not reciprocated because if we stop the flow of love inside of us we will feel miserable very soon. We get angry when others insult us because we feel it lowers the love that we lave for ourselves. But that is an illusion of the "I". It is really untouched. How can it be affected when it is inside of us?  We get angry really at ourselves for allowing the words or actions of others towards ourselves to lower the love we feel for ourselves which includes our essence and our...

No doubt love is a powerful value that if we can evoke it and use it correctly, it makes sense that we would greatly benefit in any area of life, but most importantly in the area of our psychological and esoteric work, which is the area most important to us. The right balance I believe is to speak about love in relation to the psychological and esoteric work. There are the two sides, speak only about love on one side which enthralls and romances us but leaves us floating in the air with nothing to apply and then there is the other side of not speaking about it at all which makes us to miss out on some very important teaching. We all have our particular relation to love. How do we relate to love? Mars and Venus United in Love Do we believe in love? Are disillusioned or conflicted about love? Do we dislike it or do we think that we can't love or we are unworthy of it?  There are really many questions that we could ask ourselves to prompt the knowing of how we relate to love. To get d...

We can allow ourselves to feel sad for a while but we can't allow ourselves to not know why! We have to seek the gift of self-knowledge for ourselves. It is hard to know why sometimes why we feel what we do or even it is hard to know what we feel. As long as it takes to know - we must know. This is so important because these unknown states hold great keys for us and lead us to unraveling much much more about ourselves. We really can't let such opportunities pass us bye. End (5064).

The great triumphs and the great champions in life are those who have learnt how to express and relate correctly to the values of their Inner Being. This is what life is for and this is what Gnosis teaches us to do! We know that we can only do this with the elimination of what conditions these values. There are many who have done this and they are the true victors of life. The paradox is that they are mostly unknown to the world and will remain that way. The victors that the world idolises are those who have only really triumphed in the external expression of a value or a few, in one area of life. End (5063).

You are the instrument of your Being. You are here to ultimately do the will of your Being. You are not the instrument of anyone's else's will. We may serve the will of a collective which works for the common good - which is a will created from the wise combination and syntheseis of our will and the will of various others.  We can not serve the will of a single other whether that be an indiviudal or a group where our will does not participate. If another tries to use you as an instrument to enact their will - we must reply: "I already have a master and my will is to fulfill the will of this master who dwells within. I as an instrument am already taken. You must consult first with my master if you wish to use me as an instrument of your will.".  End (5059).  

Sometimes one or more different "I's" can come to the wrong conclusion and put the feeling of  'not good enough' into our emotional centre. It is not true even if we are mistakenly already believing it or are compelled to believe it. It can be dissolved. See that it is absolutely not true! Maybe relatively for a few moments to one or a few people but never absolutely. See that with our consciousness present and doing what our consciousness seee to do we are our best and that is our momentary absolute.  Accept that totally and no matter what others say or any other ego says. When we see our consciousness and be it as much as we can and we fully accept it, many inferior emotions of that kind mentioned above disappear. End (5060).

We are generally scared of snakes and don't find them very cuddly or cute. We even don't find them very kind like how we may find a sheep or a horse. We often find them scary, unpleasant, cold and selfishly astute. We find snakes scary because we know deep down in our subconscious that what it represents within is something extraordinarily powerful, and it is due to failing or not relating well with this force that we are here fallen... A snake represents the sexual force within and outside the human being. It also the represents the Eternal Divine Feminine - our Divine Mother Kundalini. We really can't attribute what we feel about snakes to our Divine Mother and our own sexual force. That must change to relate well and positively to our own sexual force and our Divine Mother. We must change our way of thinking to see the Divine Mother in her aspect of Kundalini as a loving, wise benevolent serpent with a heart of gold, that employs all that extraordinary power to help us. ...

There does exist unity. Unity indeed is the goal. Unity within ourselves. Unity within the parts of the Being, unity of the three brains in the human machine, unity of consciousness and unity among other human beings. Unity amongst human being for a cause, the cause of peace or for the common well-being of all beings... The correct and sustainable view of unity, is the multiplicity in unity or using different words: a diversity that makes unity. This is the guide that the Absolute, the origin of creation, continually presents to us.  We so often ignore that guide... It is not wrong to seek unity, it is the balanced and most peaceful thing to do. However as with all things, in creation, there is a wrong or inconvenient way to go about things and there is a right or convenient way. The line between the two zones - the zone of the right way and the zone of the wrong way, all depends on why and how unity is sought. Lust and jealousy are in many ways at their depths about seeking a kind...

Source A class given by m.m.m. Notes The virtue of hope dissolves the following four negative states of consciousness: 1.) Desperation 2.) Anxiety 3.) Despondency 4.) Uncertainty In uncertainty we can also find traces of doubt and skepticism, which the virtue of trust can counteract. Panic appears in us when we lose hope. Trust also helps to counteract anxiety. Hope is something positive, that creates positive internal states. The bridge between hope and reality is work. Hope makes us to work. Hope activates positively our will to work towards reality. If we hope for the Being we are awaited for in the temples of the internal worlds. As an act of reciprocity because we have hoped, we are waited for. If we have hope and faith in the Gods they have hope for us and faith in us. They give us hope and faith as we give them hope and faith. We must give hope and faith first! We must know all that gives hope and be agents of hope. The teachings give hope to people. Testimonies of the work give...
