Rescue Parts of Ourselves from Our Abyss Notes - (5381)

Introduction

Here are some notes to do with ourselves, our abyss and the work related to it.

Notes

We have the abyss or infra-dimensions both outside and inside of us. 

We only ever go to the external abyss of nature (of the earth), at night while we sleep (nightmares) and in conscious out of the body experiences. However, we face all day, every day our own abyss.

When we think negatively we descend into our own abyss.

Our Abyss

Our own abyss is: our subconscious, our unconscious and our infra-conscious.

Our own abyss is our darkness and negative polarisations. Our darkness is what we are not aware of, and our negative polarisations are our free values polarised negatively. For example, trust polarised into distrust.

These negative values then descend into the inferior regions of ourselves, which are within us just as it is shown in the Kabbalistic version of the Tree of Life diagram, shown as the Kliphoths. There are actual dimension within our interior.

Our own abyss is related to the 49 levels of the mind. In the sense that because of a lack of light and awareness those greater levels of the mind are in darkness.

When we descend into our own abyss we connect to the abyss of the Earth.

Trapped

There are parts of ourselves that are truly stuck in our own abyss. 

We have to rescue those parts. Those parts of ourselves that are trapped, are our values or in other words, fractions of our essence. 

Our hope, our faith, our trust, our love etc. may be trapped in our abyss needing rescuing?

What does trapped in our abyss really mean? It means that parts of ourselves, that is parts of our values (part of our hope for example) are polarised into the opposite, to have become negative. For example, our hope has been polarised into 'no hope' and hopelessness.

Only the negative version of a value can descend and be located in our abyss. Never the free value. 

The free values cause our consciousness us to ascend and the polarised values cause our consciousness to descend.

A relationship for example may be stuck in our abyss. Many people have their relationships stuck in the abyss, and their way of relating is through the abyss. Sometimes yes and sometimes in varying degrees of depth.

When hope, faith, love and trust are inverted in a person, the relationship itself sinks into the abyss of that person. This in turn in some time brings the whole relationship down into abyss.

To Rescue

The way to rescue ourselves from our own abyss is using trust, love, faith and hope. 

When those values are inverted we must focus all of our energy into inverting them to the free state. Find what has inverted them and make great efforts of will and comprehension to bring them back to their normal state.

Two or more abysses don't make a height. They make a deeper abyss than any individual intervening abyss.

The above means never answer or respond to anyone's abyss with our abyss. Always give the free value instead. This pays us back so handsomely. 

When something is trapped in our abyss there will always be difficulties, suffering, complications, pain, obstacle after obstacle and misunderstanding and miscommunication after miscommunication.

Forgiven - No Karma - (5377)

If we offend someone who does not take offence and we say sorry and they pardon us even if they didn't feel hurt, there is no karma or no backlash consequences for us. That is no karmic debt to be paid.

This can happen when people we offend don't have the ego in that direction or don't have an ego there to feel offended.

Can see there that the little cub loves his/her mum.

It is different when we offend others who do get hurt. We have to repair something so to end the karmic  account of transactions with the person related to that event.

There is also the case when we do something that is all ok, all normal (like speak the truth) and others take offence because their psychology is too egoic or unbalanced. Then there are no karmic consequences for us if they suffer. The minor karmic consequences may be that they get upset with us but because we haven't done anything wrong in the esoteric or greater sense, we will be ok with that until it passes.

Influencing to Help People - (4456)

The below diagram has some good tips to relate better to people so to be able to help them in the psychological and spiritual work. These are good skills for a teacher of Gnosis to have.

End (4456).

Some States of Mind - (4647)

The below are really states of consciousness. Which can really be summarised by the degree of intensity of presence of the consciousness and by the degree of the contraction or expansion of the consciousness.

End (4647).

Evolution of the Essence - (4438)

In Gnosis we don't believe in evolution, in the sense that human beings have come from a fish and from monkeys. But rather that the essence first enters into creation starting out from within the mineral kingdom, and over time working its way through the plant and animal kingdoms to enter the human kingdom.

The diagram below in many ways is the journey of the essence towards the human kingdom that is still happening today.

End (4438).

An Empty Feeling is Not Empty! - (4924)

An empty feeling is not really empty. 

If there is a feeling there is not emptiness. It feels empty but it is not empty really, it is full of something else - sadness or disappointment perhaps.

The feeling of true emptiness is elation. As the Being in us will be present to occupy that empty space.

The typical 'empty' feeling is an absence of the feeling of purpose or 'feeling good with' something. Usually that feeling of  'I'm good with' has been displaced by the feeling of disappointment.

The conclusion is, if we work on disappointment the 'empty' feeling will go.

End (4924).

Relativity of the Law - (4659)

The Law human and Divine has a relative aspect to it. That is certain.

You can see the relative aspect here below of the physical human law.

The Divine Law takes each one of us as an absolute.

The Divine Law does not compare us to anyone else. They take us all as absolutes. If they were to compare us to others, we would be in lots of difficulty, plus it would not be fair, as we are all living  through different circumstances which have a great bearing on our capacities. 

That is, they look within us, and from from within us they assess the efforts we make. 

For one person, to endure for a month is the maximum, yet for another their maximum is to endure the same for a year. What counts is that the maximum is reached.

End (4659).

See Darkness, Go to the Light, Examine Darkness and Be! - (4436)

This is the correct formula and complete formula to work on our darkness.

Thanks to the retreat - I learnt this gem.

The best way to approach the work on any defect within us is to see it. Then rise to the light within us, that is the consciousness, the teachings, the Inner Being, the ethics and from that vantage point examine it.

As soon as we know something about that defect be the antidote, which will always be a value or quality of our Inner Being.

Practice or apply this and you will find how different  it is. How it is unifying, dissolving, balancing and solving all at once.

Contrast

Causal Will, the Human Soul and Awakening Notes - (4430)

Concerning these Notes

These are notes taken during a class given by m.m.m.

Notes

There are two ways of dying further after the third mountain. They are the solar and lunar ways.

The way of the unknown is the solar way. The way of the past and the known is the lunar way. 

We must become the ray of our Father in secret. We must become Gnosis. 

There are three wills: Will of the Being, Will of the Law, will of the bodhisattwa and every ego has its will.

  

We must make our will pure and clean.

We must learn to recover our will. The will of the work, of the teachings.

We need the will of the Absolute within us and not our personal will.

A will that is not affected by our human nature, our circumstances, people, our different thoughts...

When in a difficult situation pray to the human soul and say: "My Divine human soul release your will in me, make your will a cause in me!".

We have to be able to renounce our will when needed. But before acquiring that ability we need to know our will, that is, know where it comes from.

The will of the Being in a given event is surprisingly simple.

All that we do when the ego is absent is right, and inline with the Being.

In any event, in a state of alertness look to our will, look to our human soul and ask the human soul to release its will within the causal strata of ourselves.

This work adds a new dimension to our awakening, as it causes the awakening in ourselves. This didactic  causes our human soul to be brought into our awakening and the human soul awakens with us. This is really marvellous.  

This didactic puts aside the complications of the intellect. Awakening is simple, it is not complicated.

Awakening is to take for real the reality that our consciousness sees, To awaken is to see the reality of the events that surround our life and make up our life.

Awakening is not shown as it is the most natural part of the human. It is about being, it is to consciously be the human soul.

An awakened person recognises another awakened person and also knows who is asleep.

There are angels of justice, that we can work with regarding certain issues of justice and injustice. 

One way to overcome skepticism is to accept reality. Because to not accept a certain reality is skepticism.

Make your will to coincide with reality. Make your will to be parallel to the will of your Being. Make your will align with the teachings. Make your will align the five centres. Release the will of your human soul. Release will from its trappings.

Accept inner Accept and recognise the presence of your Being in you. Accept and recognise that you are the soul of your Being.

We must know that our will is Divine. When we know this we can apply our will in four ways.

Do not separate our individual will from the will of our Being.

We must distinguish from our human will and the will of our deep within.

To be awakened we don't allow anything of the ego to land in our psychological airport. When we accept the esoteric and the ontological we are starting to awaken here.

To be awakened do these three actions: 1.) Do not get identified 2.) Contrast and 3.) Choose.

Memory is a huge trap for our will. 

The more will we release the more force our essence has.

We need to work permanently with our human soul. Bring our human soul into our five centres. You could say that we have five wills, the will of each centre.

The instinctive will manipulates our will and the will of others. Fear uses so wisely the will of the instinctive centre.

Do the opposite of the will of the ego. This releases will. 

Rescue, liberate, awaken and perfect are the works that we need to do with our will. Similar to the work we must do on the word.

When we begin to free our will we also want to free the will of others and see that their will is also free.

Awakening the will is educating the will to be used in the work and with and for the Being and not against anyone else, and does not create karma.

The Karma multiplies itself, via the domino effect. To stop the domino effect we must stop the consequences after the first time. 

Word, will and action all go together. They are intimately related to the Intimate Christ.

Will is the factor that puts us into jail and is also the factor that can take us out of jail.

We need to harmonise the will of the intellect and the heart. Our centre of gravity is made up by where our will mostly goes. To establish a centre of gravity in one centre, it must steal will from the other centres. We can not put more force into another centre until we stop that main centre from stealing will from the other centres. 

Our job as the soul is to control will and consciousness.

We need the consciousness to use the will and the work and action to implement and compliment. We also use the motor centre to execute or action it all out.

If only we can go the Divine Law showing that we control our will. They will respect us immensely. 

Excuses are basically distorted versions of the truth.

There are many instinctive excuses, like I am tired, need time alone, overwhelmed etc.

If we transmute our weaknesses into will we become champions.

End (4430).

Places that Sing the Power that was Once Expressed There - (4601)

There are places in this world that still sing out the power that once shook that place. 

Those places sing out to invite the soul in human beings to come, and fill themselves with that power. To learn and know of that virtue by experiencing the song in their hearts. 

Those places sing their song to inspire human souls to bring that power into their lives. When that power enters their lives it will meet others in their lives and expand.

Sometimes the spirits of nature come to honour the power of those places and join in with the song and sometimes the souls of the deceased visit to sing along, to be warmed and strengthened and for the more conscious deceased, to teach human souls who visit. 

This way, from one human being to another, the power that once shook that place will move through the world and do its work. In many cases, that work is to right an injustice, tht roused that power into action, and to reap the fruit of the spirit in which that power shook that place - often LOVE.

Places of courage and love - where a final stand was made, a few against many more. Where certain death was faced, where lives were given for others, where miracles happened, where the Divine forces from above intervened to help... 

There are valleys, mountains, lakes, rocky outcrops, reefsa, seas, islands and old battlefields that sing...

Not to mention the the temples of the past and present...

Why I have always wondered is there a certain a sombre silence, a certain tranquility to be felt at the old battlefields? Many lives,were lost, much loss was felt, much suffering, also much courage, much love and much relief...

Dealing with Toxicity - (4532)

There is a definite skill and learning to do with dealing with so called 'toxic' people. Here are some ideas and concepts that can gives us some ideas and starting points to go on from and to complement our psychological work to do with this. 

End (4532).

Anxiety State Flow - (4848)

A bit superficial but can help. The main point this diagram highlights is to pay attention, focus our attention with gentleness on the anxiety, breathe, let go gently of the thoughts, enter only the moment and nothing else while breathing and breathing. 

Just as the diagram says don't ignore it, until it has decreased considerably and don't be mean to ourselves or others.

The Work with Will - (4534)

Will

Here are the basic steps of the complete work to do with our will.

Aware

This stage indicates becoming aware of how we use our will. Getting to know our use of our will in all aspects, 'for good or for bad'.

Conduct an analysis of how we use our will, that is what do we use our will for, how do we use it, how do we express it, where is it strong and weak, where is used to benefit and where is it used to hurt, do we impose our will? 

The effects or consequences on others and ourselves is something that we also become aware of in this stage.

Rescue

Based on what we have observed, we begin the work of withdrawing our will from the ways of using it that we clearly saw did not benefit us humanly, psychologically, esoterically and ontologically (in relation to our Being).

Awaken

This stage means to learn about the correct use of our will and to educate ourselves in this correct use.

By correct use, it is meant the use the aligns with the work and the Inner Being. That is correct by the reference points of the work, the path and the Being.

Purify

This stage is to work to remove bit by bit all egoic elements that deviate the use of the will from the reference point of the work, path and Being. 

Perfect

This stage is to work to make the use of the will even smoother and more and more aligned with the Inner Being and its benevolent principles.

Law of the Pendulum in Politics - (4758)

Master Samael said that the Law of the Pendulum governs world history. 

The Law of the Pendulum produces cycles. Here is a good example.

End (4758).

Regulating Our Nervous System - (4447)

To know how to regulate our nervous system is a tremendously important knowledge and knowing how to do it for ourselves is a just as important a skill.

When we can do it for ourselves we can help others to do it.

Here is some info about the nervous system and some information about how to regulate it.

End (4447).

Leadership Values - We All Need Them! - (4866)

We all need to be leaders in the work. To lead others through teaching, more importantly to lead ourselves and our own work.

Below are the values we need to lead.

Leadership can be learnt and developed. Yes, some people are born leaders, yet they all have these or at least some of these values.

A Beauty of the Animal and Plant Kingdoms - (4877)

A squirrel in the field smelling a flower. It seems that it is savouring the aroma of the flower, as if nourishing itself with essence of the flower. Just like we do at times.

End (4877).

Working with the Word - (4856)

The image below is a good example of how someone has created their own system of working on the word.

For us studying Gnosis, the reference points and values depending on the situation could be different but the principle and process is the same.

End (4856).

Key to Creating a Centre of Gravity - (4757)

Human beings always have to have something at their centre. It is a law. It is fundamentally how we all work. It is a part of our structure just as much as having a sun at the centre of a solar system is how a solar system works, and always will work.

Human beings therefore so naturally create a centre of gravity. I have seen some families have the cat or dog as their centre of gravity. That is mostly what they talk about, what mostly concerns them and where most of their time and attention goes when they are at home.

For some it is a relationship, for others it is food, for others still, it is the ocean, the gym and so and so on.

For us, if we want to make the work on ourselves the centre of gravity, we can just as easily and naturally do the same.

We can make the human soul our centre of gravity if we wish as well...

It all works by loving something.

By making it emotional and assigning high value to it.

First step, is to find high value and devote to it. Just as we devote to something very human that we like.

Like it and like and it will then get into our emotional centre and then we are on our way to making it our centre of gravity.

The more we place it at our forefront and highest priority, the more we will see the benefits of it and the more we will like it and later naturally love it.

Don't Respond to Abyss with Abyss - (4700)

Two abysses don't make a mountain.

If someone gives us their abyss, we can't ever respond with ours.

As just as it feels to do so we can't, because we are appealing to a different justice system. The justice system of our Inner Being.

If we hold true to the principles of the Inner Being and not go with our abyss, even though it may be humanly costly and unfair, our Inner Being will compensate us a little later on for that effort.

The Inner Being is never scared of human discomfort or sacrifice.

Compensation will come to us. This is guaranteed. We just have to wait and even better forget about having to wait, and it will come even quicker.

We want and our work wants that the Inner Being in us to be more present and It's ways triumph. When we answer with the abyss we go backwards away from our Inner Being. 

We have to not answer with the abyss because it is not of our essential nature and we have to pay the price for not answering with the abyss, because everything costs, even our Being costs, but our Inner Being refunds us.

If we do answer with the abyss because we don't want to pay the price, we pay a higher price with the pain and suffering of the ego and we are not refunded for it, we incur in more debt.

How do we pay the price? Often by keeping quiet.

End (4700).

Waiting for a Change is a Hollow Sound - (4669)

Waiting or people or circumstances to change is not good policy or a sound technique.

It is a hollow sounding technique...

We wait for the circumstances to change, where apparently things will be easier. But we don't really know if they will or not. It just looks like it will

Many people retire thinking their life will be quieter and easier, yet often it is busier and noisier than before.

We wait for circumstances to change because we don't want to make  the efforts to surpass the difficulties of the current circumstances.

The circumstances are apparently 'scheduled' to change and they will, if the plans go ahead, but as we haven't changed internally, in some time the same or similar difficulties, through different avenues will return.

There is no time to start to the change, the change is now, yet the change once started can take some time, but in time the new will come. 

Waiting for the circumstances to change will happen in time, and if there is no internal change, there will be no time left to wait for the new, as the time to change was before the circumstances changed.

Basically if we are doing nothing now just waiting for things to change when the scheduled circumstances change - nothing will change.

End (4669).

Community is a Kind of Consciousness - (4536)

Community is certainly a kind of consciousness.

We often don't think that it is, but if we reflect on it, we will see that it really is. It is in fact a more expanded type of consciousness.

It is a kind of consciousness that covers a greater area of points of view, concerns, knowledge and experiences than the normal individual or family consciousness.

So many people are happier in a community, and this is because they enjoy a more expanded and lighter state of consciousness.

There are three types of consciousness:

1.) Unilateral 

Consciousness of only ourselves. That is consciousness directed in one direction only.

2.) Bilateral

Consciousness directed in two directions. That is consciousness of ourselves and others.

3.) Multi-lateral

Consciousness directed in a multitude of directions. That is consciousness of many others, even as great as to cover a planet, a solar system and a galaxy or galaxies. 

The so called middle-man, has a more expanded consciousness than the buyer or seller. Being in the middle, he or she knows the positions and interests of both parties and works to reconcile them both ,creating a third and new state of consciousness that either of the buying and selling party do not have. 

The community consciousness requires more values to be held together than the individual consciousness, and encopmpasses a consciousness of the unity. That is it is aware of how one action within the community affects others and the whole.

Conclusion, if we are wanting our consciousness to expand more, especially to free it from selfishness, we must seek out a community and integrate within the community, working for the benefit of all.

Interesting Symptoms and Consequences of Identification - (4437)

These are the symptoms we typically experience when we become heavily identified with something that is not, and is not of our essential nature. 

The more more the thing we are identified with the more severe are these symptoms.

When people are under 'stress' these symptoms are common also, especially the hazy memory aspect.

 

End (4437).

An Origin of Self-Deception - (4434)

Where does the capacity of self-deception come from? One answer is that is something that we ourselves have created. How have we created it? One answer is through the many difficult experiences of life.

We may have found ourselves in difficult life circumstances and maybe the only way to get out of it with minimal effect to others and ourselves was to lie. Which could have included exaggerating our suffering and the difficulties we were going through.

Seeing that this worked, we then repeat it and repeat it. Using it as a way to get out of difficulty, sometimes when it was our fault and sometimes when we didn't have the legitimate means ourselves to get ourselves out of difficulty. Creating a pattern of behaviour. As everything in life demands a transaction, we pay for the lies that get us out difficulty by selling our own truth and developing self-deception. 

In synthesis, self-deception is something that we create through lying, which starts off consciously then in time becomes a habit. As the habit strengthens in time we begin to believe our lies, lying to ourselves becomes a way of thinking. Then our capacity to self-deceive has matured within us to become a feature of psychology and something that impedes our awakening and the ability to see our faults. 

End (4434).

Learning is Balancing - (4425)

Learning about ourselves is really a process of balancing, restoring the balance.

That is why learning about ourselves never stops, because the universe is always in a state of flux, meaning that the universe is always rebalancing itself, and learning is one of the processes that restores the balance anew.

The oscillations between balance and imbalance is what keeps everything moving. If all was totally balanced everything would become static. But very little is static.

As we are alive and we are in a state of flux and always will be and so we will always be learning to reinstate new and old balances.
