Gnostic Wisdom

Easy Start lifting some weights or do chin-ups (pull-ups) or push- ups or go for a swim in the ocean and entertain a lustful thought… Then Watch Then watch yourself suddenly weaken, and almost: drop the weights on your toes, slip off chin- up bar, and start floundering in the water etc. etc. The reason why this works is because when one is in any of these given situations mentioned above, one is very vulnerable and weak, and so the debilitating effects of lust on one's body and vitality are easily seen. When lust normally manifests we are physically passive and so the effects it has on our body and vitality are not as noticeable, and even for the most part, are ignored. End (2017).

They Travel from so Far Away and for so Long We have a big retreat coming up and there are people flying in from America, and all of those from America are travelling more than a solid 27 hours. Some are even travelling for a solid 42 hours just to get to here. Besides being expensive, uncomfortable, tiring it is also in today’s climate a little unsettling with all the security issues etc. Then there are those locals that can’t make an effort to even spare a day out of their life to attend the same retreat. Ah! One may get a little disappointed seeing such a discrepancy and one may from their pride wish to tell those locals to not bother even in coming. But that is wrong! Why is it Wrong? It all makes sense really, every retreat costs, even for those who organise it. The main speaker works a lot, the wife of the main speaker works a lot in the background and those who help both the main speaker and his wife work a ...

Pride is to Feel Less as Well as to Feel More and Better When it comes to pride we often associate it with feeling more and better, this is certainly true, and we dedicate a lot of time working on ourselves so as to not feel more and better. However, we often allow thoughts and feelings of feeling less and worse, all the while these thoughts and feelings come from the same pride that feels more and better, which is the same pride which we try so hard to eliminate. Do You Honestly Think Your Essence or Being Feels Less? Do you honestly think that your essence or your Being feels less? For sure your essence and your inner Being does not feel more or better but what about feel less? I don’t think so, the Being feels the Being, which is not more nor less, to feel Being is beyond those two feelings: more and less. I can’t imagine the Being of anyone self-deprecating, destroying Itself! No! I really do not believe so! So if our essence and our Being does not slef-depricate why s...

Bali Belly and Retreat Belly Two Opposites to be Transcended We have Bali belly and we have the opposite that I have coined retreat belly! A big retreat is coming up soon, and so I am preparing myself to be balanced in what I eat, so as to not get ‘retreat belly’. Bali Belly With Bali belly, a people go to Bali, a place where a lot of Aussies go for holiday i.e. to retreat from life and revel in food, drink , beach and sun. They then eat something and they end up with diarrhoea and vomiting. Then they can’t eat and they lose weight. Retreat Belly With retreat belly, you go on a retreat and you feel so comfortable and fine that you eat like crazy and put on weight. That's the way slim it down! Gluttony! Both start with a gluttonous attitude and end with opposite result. ‘More Bang for Your Buck’ The driving force behind gluttony is that we have spent money and so we want to get the most of out ...

Small Details are for the Ego The small details are to be studied to discover more about the ego so to accelerate the death of those egos. We however often try to look for the will of our Being in the small details. We often want to know if it is the will of my Being: that I say this, buy this, go there, go to that retreat, don’t go to that retreat, even marry here or there etc. Of course, we don’t find an answer most of the time. The reason why is because it is for us to discern and for is to see that these small decisions won’t affect the greater plan of self-realisation of our Monad, which where we more often find or come to know more the will of our Being. In the bigger picture! Greater Details We can see the will of our Being operating in our life in making us work in the three factors and we can see the will of our Being having worked in the past moving us from circumstance to circumstance and guiding us to...

We Can Not Honestly Believe… We cannot honestly believe that restricting a person to only love, think of and communicate with ourselves is to make that person happy. Jealousy believes that that is how the other person should behave and to top it off, be happy with. Jealousy believes the other should be happy living in such a restricted way. In fact, the "I" of jealousy becomes very agitated when the other person does not abide by these expectations. Furthermore, jealousy feels very hurt and betrayed. Oh the Heart… The heart is like a bird! It is free and to cage the heart it is to subject it to something that is opposite to its nature, and this can only hurt. No bird is happy in a cage neither is any heart happy in a cage! No One is Happy in a Cage! We can't expect a person to be happy in a cage. To put a person in a cage is to force a person to be selfish and to quash the noble and generous i...

The Solution is the Synthesis of these Mental Opposites Fight hard for the light wherever you are and what situation you are in! End (2011).

Level of Being There are cases around where a person has awakened some clairvoyance or was perhaps born with it or it just somehow became active in the person. However, if the person is not mature or has a low level of Being, having clairvoyance is a real curse. Such a person ends up crazy and runs like hell from anything spiritual. And that is the right thing to do for such a person. Why? Because that is one way to turn it off, and once it has been turned off one feels better. For Clairvoyance For clairvoyance one has to be esoterically cultured, be very mature, not so fearful and have a high level of Being. Because when one’s level of the Being is low, one sees unpleasant things logically - things of below, and that makes anyone sick and disturbed. Concluding Thoughts That is the reason why our Being has not allowed us faculties because it would simply be detrimental. It would disturb, us distract us and ...

Deep Inquietudes If one wants to be well read in what one writes, then simply write to answer the deep inquietudes lying deep within the human subconscious. There are many inqueitudes within the human being that seek quietening. Some are fascinations and some are very ancient reminiscences that are genuine and spiritual in nature. Fascinations The fascinations are usually of a dark quality. So I would say forget that because it will only strengthen your own subconscious and will darken the consciousness of those who read what you write. Unless you write in such a way that it sheds light onto the darkens of the subconscious! This type of helpful writing will focus on the realities behind these fascinations exposing the reality behind them destroying the fascination and hypnotic draw or force that accompanies such topics. Inquietudes The very ancient memories of immortality, of great powers, of great stre...

Grizzle Away We sometimes complain and say that the people in Gnosis, even our missionary, are grumpy and cold and generally not very friendly and don’t care. Then we say that people outside of Gnosis, like where I work, at the hospital, at the corner deli are nicer and friendlier. Let’s examine that perception. Is it real or is it an illusion? They are Not Really Put those ‘nice’ people, and for the interaction that we have with them - they are indeed nice, into Gnosis and they will change. Why? Because when one decides to work on oneself, one begins to feel pressure coming from inside of oneself and one’s egos emerge more often. Sometimes overwhelming in intensity. This is because the Being of the person needs that the person pays attention to those aspects of themselves and works harder. For the person who works on themselves time is short, one can not waste time and make their life too complicated, so sometimes it serves the person well to be a little “dry” a...

Introduction There are stages in the path that we have heard about, where the initiate or master feels that he or she has been abandoned by his or her Being. I wanted to know more about that so I asked my marvellous missionary (m 3 ). A Temporary State He said that above all, it is a temporary state. It is something that passes. It is something that certainly will not be that way forever. In most cases, it is something that is short lived, however in some other cases it can last for a long time, but it will certainly pass. Karmic and Part of the Path He said that it is karmic in origin and it is also part of the path. For some reason the Being does not respond as desired and leaves the initiate or master to his or her own devices. It may even seem that the Being withdraws its force and light, leaving the initiate or master weak and in darkness. This could be so for several reasons, one could be to force the initiate to create a strong base and yearning for ...

Answer: Use it! What? Use it? Yes! Use it! If evil appears in our life, that is from the outside or from the inside, we have a choice to make. Go into it, identify with it or use it to further transform ourselves. Rejecting it, suppressing it, squashing it, burning it, etc. may help but mostly it won't. As soon as we chose the light we can use it to go to the light. For example, lust appears, use it to transmute and to go to the Being within. Whatever other type of evil appears, use it to our betterment! We can not exterminate evil, rid our life of it just yet, or rid the world of it, either! This is because that job is not ours. That job is for the Divine Law and the Solar Logos. In general, the contrast against evil pushes us towards the light, that is if we have decided before hand to use the evil that comes into our life uninvited to transform ourselves. End (2006).

What Should I study? What Book Should I Read? Answer: Yourself! With Alertness If we study ourselves with highly refined and sharpened alertness we are going to be able to read the book important that we will ever read in our lives, which is the book of ourselves. All that you want to know and understand is there waiting in yourself to be read about. All that we need is alertness! End (2005).

There are hundreds of ways to remain alert. Here is just one! The All or Nothing Way Say to yourself: “I am not going to be distracted by one single thought!” or “I am not going to allow myself to miss a single thought!” or “I am going to catch every thought I have!”. Substitute the word "sea" in the above quote with "Being" and it will make more sense! Such a totally inclusive approach makes us as alert as we need to be to maintain alertness. If we just say to ourselves: “I am going to be alert now” we only practice it for 20 seconds (if that) and forget for 20 minutes or more. End (2004).

The Key! The key is to never let yourself go, to keep hold of yourself no matter what! This is the principle of not ever falling. To hold one’s alertness, consciousness, remembering of oneself no matter what! We fail or fall when we let ourselves go. That is when the value of ourselves as an essence belonging to a Divine Being is dropped and something inferior is given the higher value that it simply should not have and does not deserve to have! We are always the one that holds the value. That value is basically enclosed in faith and in trust. When we believe or hold faith in the right higher values all is fine but when we believe, trust and have faith in the inferior values we get very strong egos, that are so bothersome and difficult to dissolve. Originates from Alchemy Amazing, this key is replicated in Alchemy or is it that this key comes from Alchemy? I think that from the sexuality of the Being (Alchemy) comes the origin of all that is Being, Cosmos,...
