Gnostic Wisdom

The teachings say that the Kundalini is intimately related to our nervous system. Our body has several nervous system with several different branches. However, there are really three very large nervous systems. Reminding us of the Law of Three. Our spinal column is related to the central column in the tree of life. The Kundalini is related most of all to the central nervous system. When the kundalini is awake and active it balances the whole nervous system by intensely activating the central nervous system, which as it is the central column of the nervous system, acts to balance all other parts of the nervous system. The central nervous system is a mystery for the scientists, they don’t know really what all the nerves are for. Esotericism says that the many subtle channels in the central system are for the Kundalini. Through which it can send its energy, to influence all parts of the body and brain. The kundalini begins in the Muladhara chakra and ascends through the cauda equina in o...

Muladhara Chakra The kundalini is located in the Muladhara chakra at the base of our spine. Kundalini is also a Sanskrit word meaning fundament or foundation. The kundalini is in fact the base of our spine. In the Muladhara chakra there is a magnetic centre called kanda or kinder or kandar. It is located in the upper part of the chakra and it has the shape of an egg, and in this egg is concentrated all the force of prana, that comes to us through the chakras. The chakras receive this energy from all that we hear, touch, smell, breathe, experience etc. and all the prana that comes through the Akash, through the ether and finally through the tattwas into the body. Kanda In kanda arise three channels, which are ida, pingala and sushumna. These channels are called nadis, nadis is a Sanskrit word that means movement, it is actually the word nad that means movement in Sanskrit. Nadis The nadis are fine conductors or channels through which the energy in the kanda can be release...

Sanskrit Word Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means circle, wheel or vortex. Chakras are vortices that when they spin in a certain way they attract energy and when they spin or turn in an opposite way they expel or project energy. Vibrations of Tattwas The vibrations of the tattwas are attracted by the chakras, they end up being absorbed by the chakras and from the chakras they can either move to be absorbed by the essence and or by the ego. The energy of the tattwas crystallise in us in a negative way or in a positive way, of which the latter is to feed the essence so to be able to create soul, or in a negative way so to strengthen the ego. This is the way that we end up weakening the essence because the ego becomes stronger and in effect we loose our essence and therefore our soul. Formation of Ego or Soul What forms ego or soul in us the interchange or the interaction between the external world and the internal world, when the external world and the internal world meet...

When the Tattwas Vibrate Master Samael gives us a clear way of knowing when the tattwas of nature are in vibration. "I regret to have to disagree with the opinion of the Master Huiracocha about the Tattwic day- timer. He says in his Taiiwanieicr that the five Tattwas successively vibrate for two hour periods, and that each Tattwa vibrates for 24 minutes in the following way: 1. Akasa, 2.Vayu, 3.Tejas, 4. Pritvi, 5. Apas. Huiracocha asserts that the vibration of the Tattwas begins every day at dawn. Yet, this is in discordance with the facts and observations. Therefore, the best Tattwic timetable is the one from Nature. When the weather is cold , humid , rainy and the sky is cloudy with dense, large, black clouds, then this means that the cause of this is rooted in the Tattwa of the water ( Apas ). When this happens, the ethereal waves of the water are submitted to a very strong cosmic vibration, which generally coincides with a position of the moon. ...

Akash “Akash is the primary cause of all that exists. Vayu is the cause of air and of motion. Tejas is the ether of the fire which animates the flames. Prithvi is the ether of the element earth which is accumulated within the rocks. Apas is the ether of the water which enters into action before Prithvi, because before the element earth appeared, there was water.” Vayu Is the vibration that condenses into the air element. Here is what Master Samael said about the characteristics of the Vayu tattwa. “Everything that is velocity and motion corresponds to Vayu, the principle of air. Winds, air, aerial navigation, etc. are related to Vayu. During this period people enjoy speaking ill about their fellowmen, lying, stealing, etc. Usually, airplane accidents happen during this period. Suicides are stimulated by this Tattva. We advise you not to marry during this period because your marriage will be of a short duration. All kinds of simple and fast businesses are very good in Vayu,...

Five Senses This is what Master Samael said in relation to the tattwas and the five sense of the body. “ Sound is the materialization of Akash. The sense of touch is the materialization of the Vayu Tattva. The fire and the light which we perceive through our eyes are the materialization of the Tejas Tattva. The sensation of taste is nothing more than the condensation of the Apas Tattva. The sense of smell is the materialization of the Prithvi Tattva. There exist two other Tattvas which can only be handled by the magician. These are the Adi Tattva and the Samadhi Tattva. ” Posted.

Tattwas Enter the Body The tattwas enter the body, in fact master Samael says something strange, well not so strange when you think about it. He says that our vital body is really made up of tattwas, which makes sense as the tattwas are vibrations of the ether and as the vital body is ether it still has to have it parts and those parts have to have their particular vibration which are the tattwas. The tattwas enter the chakras and then enter the glands of internal secretion, namely the endocrine glands. The tattwas in the glands intensify the work of the glands and are transformed into hormones. The tattwas don’t in fact leave the body, once they enter they stay there and they form or are transformed into genes, chromosomes and later sexual energy (spermatozoids). Posted.

Tattwas – Vibration of the Ether Tattwa is vibration and in Sanskrit tattwa means element, indicating that the tattwas are related to the elements of nature. There are four important vibrations of the ether (tattwas) that we study and they are the vibrations that condense to become the elements of nature and also the elements of the body. They are prithvi (condenses to earth), apas (condenses to water), tejas (condenses to fire) and vayu (condenses to air). The tattwas are the vibrations of the Ether. When the ether vibrates in certain ways (those ways are the tattwas) those vibrations become the vibrations of the elements. When the vibrations of the tattwas condense they become the four elements of nature. Please note that they are the elements of nature (air, fire, water and earth) and they are the vibrations that each of these elements have. The tattwas are the vibratory soul of those elements. Tattwas and Our Body So we can say so far that within the tattwas is eth...

Ether - the Fifth Element of Nature Ether is the fifth element of nature and comes from Akash or Akasa. Ether in us is our vital body and the vital body is also our fourth dimension. As far as the elements are concerned the physical elements of nature come from the element of Ether. Ether is the soul of the four physical elements. All that is in the physical world that contains the four elements of nature came for the ether and will one day return to the ether. Ether is a condensation of a substance called Akash. So akash is a substance, unlike prana. Ether then is a substance as well, but a very refined one at that. Posted.

Akash and Ether Blavatsky describes Akash as “the subtle, super sensuous spiritual essence which pervades all space; the primordial substance erroneously identified with Ether. But it is to Ether what Spirit is to Matter, or Atma to Kama-rupa.” It is also known as the material element created from the astral world, it is also known as the soul of Ether which is the fifth element. After ether comes the physical elements of air, fire, water and earth. Ether in Gnosis is modified Akash. It is also known in Jainism as that which gives space. It is also known as the spirit of the four elements, whereas ether is the soul of the four elements. Akash and Sound An attribute of Akash is sound or Shabda in Sanskrit. As Blavatsky puts it Akash is “in fact the Universal space in which lies inherent the eternal Ideation of the Universe in its ever-changing aspects on the planes of matter and objectivity, and from which radiates the First Logos, or expressed thought. This is why it is st...

Akasha, Akasa or Akaza Akash also known as Akasha, Akasa or Akaza, is a Sanskrit term meaning space or ether. In Hinduism Akash is considered to be the essence of all material things. In Gnosis Akash is also known as Mulaprakriti the Cosmic Mother. It is also known as a substance that originates from prana, where prana as we have mentioned earlier is not a substance but an energy and so Akash is similar to a very very refined condensation of energy. Akash is of a much denser vibration than that of prana and as Akash condenses, that is its vibration becomes slower it becomes what is known as ether. Everything Comes from Akash They say that everything comes out of Akash, everything returns to Akash, Akash is like a great chaos, like a great womb from where life surges. Akash has also been called an ocean of fire. So then Akash is also fire. Akash – Behind Ether In relation to the way Akash unfolds into creation Master Samael said the following: “ The whole universe is elab...

A Science Is the science of being able to access the pranic field or body so to be able attain control over the mind and balance the body so that the mind-body complex could be capable of experiencing higher states of consciousness. The breath is used to achieve this. Pranayama is the means by which we can become aware of prana in the body. Pranayama is the practical aspect of this teaching. An important note about prana yama is that it won’t wake up the kundalini but it will clean and clear all the nadis in the body. It will also more importantly transmute the sexual energy, which in plain language means to free the prana that is in the sexual energy and move or channel the released prana (energy) into other parts of the body, principally the brain and the heart, where this energy can impregnate our consciousness making it more lucid and awake.

In the Individual Prana is in the individual, for example a person. Everyone comes to life with a certain amount of prana and we can maintain it, increase it or decrease it according to the food we eat, the air we breathe, the thoughts we think and the life we lead. When we die the prana that has been accumulated in the body leaves, if it were to stay perhaps the body would not decompose, or at least decompose at a slower than normal rate. We die because essentially prana, leaves the body, so in the end prana is that which gives us life and sustains our life. A Prani An individual is called a prani because he or she has prana and consciousness. Prana is the greatest friend an individual has. It comes as an aid, because it is the cosmic Christ it comes to everyone as an aid to help everyone and as the Cosmic Christ always does it comes to us so to save us. In particular prana allows the energy we need to fabricate soul and with soul we may free ourselves from Samsara and reach ...

Prana is Very Elevated Prana is something very elevated and we can’t readily perceive it as it is, that is how it is within itself with our five senses. Though what we can perceive with our five senses is the prana that things have or radiate. For example, in the case of a rose, the smell of the rose and its beauty and the life that radiates from it are an expression of the prana contained in the rose. In short what we really perceive with our five senses is the prana that things have, so when it comes to perceiving prana with our five senses we can only perceive prana as it is in things that have or had life, that is in other human beings, plants, animals, rocks, food etc. Prana can not be Perceived As we have mentioned earlier, prana by itself can not be perceived as a solid physical substance, i.e. something that can be can be weighed, photographed or measured. All that we can do is to perceive prana when it undergoes certain modifications and subdivides itself. For example, ...

Vibration Prana is also vibration, as mentioned in the section on the definition of Prana, Prana has the quality of never being still, it is that which is in constant motion. Prana is in constant motion because it has within it both poles, the positive and the negative that is electricity and magnetism, and by the very nature of electricity, the component of electricity in prana makes it look for the other pole to travel to, so to fecundate it. It is the nature of electricity that produces the restlessness of prana, and it is worth noting here that when electricity finds its other pole, magnetism is created. Just as when a couple, man and woman sexually unite (union of the two opposite poles) magnetism between them is created. The sexual force that brings them together is their sexual electricity, a force that comes to them from their interior divinity. So, prana is sexual in nature because it has the two poles within it, which as we have mentioned are electricity and magnet...

Introduction It is said that prana contains both electricity and magnetism, and that prana is actually the cause of electricity and magnetism. Master Samael also described prana as being Universal Magnetism. Magnetism Magnetism is considered to be the negative pole of prana and electricity is considered to be the positive pole. The positive pole of prana being electricity has the property of always looking for its opposite negative pole. We can say that the positive pole is magnetically attracted to the negative pole and as electricity being the positive pole searches for magnetism the negative pole a magnetic force or attraction between the both poles is set up, creating within prana that pervading universal magnetic force. Electricity The role of the electricity the positive pole in prana is to fecundate, and it when the positive pole finds the negative that is electricity finds magnetism, the result of the coming together of these two opposite poles is electromagnetis...

Scientific Perspective From a modern scientific perspective, conventional scientific research today describes prana as a complex amalgamation of several forces or energies, such as the magnetic, electrical, electromagnetic, photonic, thermal and mental forces or energies. In Myth There is a story from the Upanishads that goes: “Once all the deities that reside in the body - air, fire, water, earth, ether, speech and mind - had an argument. Each claimed that it was superior to all others, declaring, "I sustain this perishable body." Prana was listening to this debate, and ultimately said to them, "Do not delude yourself. It is I, having divided myself into five parts, who supports and sustains this body." The deities did not believe him. Indignantly, Prana began to withdraw from the body. Instantly, all the other deities found themselves withdrawing too. When Prana again settled in the body, the deities found that they had assumed their respective places. Co...

As Energy Prana is an energy rather than a substance, just as electricity is associated more with energy than matter. Prana is not matter but an energy, that comes from the Cosmos , from the Universe , from the Cosmic Christ . Note, prana in Gnosis is described as being the Cosmic Christ. Prana is a vital force that sustains creation, it is a primeval force at the base of creation. It is described as being the force that came from the will of the absolute to bring about creation. It is at its very root a cosmic energy, that descends from the very heights of the cosmos so give life and help all living creatures without exception. That is the love of the Cosmic Christ.

Prana is known in many religions and spiritual systems of knowledge. In Hinduism and Ayruveda this cosmic energy is known as prana , in Gnosis it is known as the Cosmic Christ , some oriental traditions call it Chi , while others call it Ki . Other esoteric traditions may refer to it as the Cosmic Mother and they are right as well because we know that what is in the Mother is also in the Father, and what is in the Father is also in the Son the Cosmic Christ.

Definition It is a Sanskirt word consisting of two syllables “pra” and “na” that together denote constancy or a force that is in constant motion. Meaning, prana is dynamic, is always moving and is never still. It is the force the yogi’s say, is behind every action and thought, and it is the force or energy that gives life to, and maintains life in each cell of our body. Note: Prana has also according to some sources been translated as Pra (before) and ana (breath), meaning that which is before there is breath. Because prana is not the breath it is something enters and leaves us through the breath. It is the vital energy that rides on the breath. The ancient Indian yogis called the force inherent in all motion, prana. Furthermore prana can be translated as energy or vital force. It is also translated as breath. Prana has the quality of livingness and it can even be called life force. Prana is not something that is only known to the yogis of India, the various world t...
