Fire as Spiritual Principle We can understand fire as spiritual principle. Meaning that it is spirit, it is intelligence, it is cosmic in principle and it is in our Being. The Being of every human being is a living fire, which in the grand scheme of things is a spark of the Great Fire of Life (the Absolute). We may even say that our Being is the whole ensemble of all the different octaves and functions of fire, which are fire, light, gold and beyond… The Divine Mother is a fire, the Intimate Christ is a Redeeming Fire, the Typhon Baphomet is Tempting and Light Giving Fire, Atman is the flame of prajna alight in a fine vase of alabaster… Fire Does as Fire Is Fire warms, sets alight, covers, devours, purifies and transforms. Or in order words we can say fire defines, then liberates and then ascends. The path is really about the descent and ascent of the fire, which in its stages really becomes the three mountains. Conclusion Fire knows how to ascend a...

Don’t Have Jealousy? Sometimes we think that we don’t have jealousy but we have pride instead. Though, this point can be cleared up quite easily when we consider some of the typical strategies of jealousy. The most common two strategies or behaviours of jealousy are these two: interrogation and the deprecation of the third person. Can’t Resist Asking Questions Jealousy can’t resist not asking questions about what he or she said to the one we are in a relationship with. Where have you been? What have you been doing? Why are going there? You don’t really like her that much do you? What do you like about her? What does she have going that I don’t? And so on and so on. We may have never asked these questions but we have certainly thought them in a kind of mental protest. Shakespeare introduced the term: "green-eyed monster" from Othello. "O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on." ...

The core beliefs that we have in our psyche serve as lenses or glasses or filters by which we see the world and interpret the events that happen in our lives and in the lives of others. Are you aware of the various filters that you have in operation within your psychic apparatus? Some examples of core beliefs are: Things usually go wrong. People can’t be trusted. People end up going against you in the end. People should only do the good. God is good. Women get their way in the long run. All men are a pain. What I have and what I do is superior. Who I am is superior. Who, what I think and do is inferior or not what is right most of the time. People don’t really love others or me for that matter. I have the most beautiful mother, son, daughter and yours are not as beautiful, loving, caring… All a lot of non-sense oozing out of our heads that must be questioned, seen as false and then eliminated. Certainly not believed in as true. ...

The role of the second mountain is to cause to die within the new master what the new master can not reach by him or herself. The second mountain is for the Intimate Christ within the new master. There is death in the first mountain and it is the death of what is visible. The second mountain is to up-heave and cause to die all that is invisible. The first mountain converts one into a man and the second mountain converts one into a superman. What the golden embryo and the soul can die in, is present in the first mountain, though what the Intimate Christ and the Divine Mother can die in is present in the second mountain. The marvelous feats of death are performed by the Intimate Christ with the help of the human soul in the person. The subconscious and infraconscious, the seeds of the egos and many other creations that we carry deep within us are all done away with in the second mountain. End (2490).

Introduction Counter Measure It! It is good to deeply know the flavour of this line and the characteristics of this line. Even so much so, to know why this line has the characteristics that it does. Knowing the above points in question, helps us to climb onto the vertical. This post is an attempt at explaining the above points. In the hope that it will provide a clear and didactic motivation to move ourselves more onto the vertical line in the here and now, where we can find ourselves on it (the vertical line). Every Man and His Dog… "Every man and his dog" walks this line. It is often about dreaming, thinking of a better future, thinking that things will get better for us in the future and the better things all the while just never seem to arrive as expected… Past and Future It is about looking back with regret and bitterness, and in many ways it is about carrying the bitterness of the past into the present. In many ways it is about not liking pain bu...

A Powerful Key Not to be Underestimated The key to surpass so many kinds of desires is delay! The many desires that we have, if we voluntarily delay satisfying them, we will see that they subside in power and a new perspective of “not really needing them” emerges in us. Whether that desire be to buy something, to tell somebody something, a sexual desire, a desire to travel, a desire to eat, to desire rest etc. etc. It is understood though when we delay we do not feed that desire with thought, words or impressions etc. This is a pretty good cure for desire. They are like fires that burn themselves out. While they are burning themselves out we must work on them. However, after repeated efforts of voluntarily delaying we come to bit by bit gain power of the desire and the light of a new perspective with new comprehension begins to dawn upon us. End (2488).

Introduction This post has been taken directly from the publication of a compilation of Master Samael's talks titled: "El Quinto Evangelio". You get hold of the pdf of the "Quinto Evangelio" and run a search for "copa sagrada" and you will find the Spanish text from where I have taken the following description. Melchizadek to Monteserat So Master Samael recounts that after Abraham defeated the Kings of Sodom and Gomorrah he travelled further into the dessert and came across a military style fort made of solid stone. There residing in that fortress was the King of the World: "Melchizadek". Melchizadek and Abraham Melchizadek celebrated with Abraham the breaking of the bread and the drinking of the wine. Abraham honoured Melchizadek with a tithing and an offering of fruit, which is symbolic, and in return Melchizadek awarded Abraham with a sacred cup, the Holy Grail, which Master Samael said was made from pure silver. ...

Watching Over It is said that Buddha said: "To watch over others is to watch over yourself, and to watch over yourself is to watch over others.". This sounds quite strange and seems sort of half true.  We can better understand why the Buddha is right when we take a better look at 'to watch' means.  If we take to watch to mean to be in another person, we can see how the Buddha is right. The Buddha is right because to be in another person we have to use or consciousness and in fact 'be' our consciousness. While we are ego, mind and personality we are always in ourselves, that is within our 'myself' and in our person or personality. So when I leave myself and enter into you I use and become my consciousness, and when I am my consciousness I am my true authentic self, and I am watching over both you and myself. Similarly 'to be' my consciousness means I am aware of you.  A Magnificent Key This is a really wonderf...

Snap! One can have an encounter with one's fear of blood and catch from it, some deep reasons why it lives in your interior. Basically the reason why it is still alive in our interior is because of a misunderstanding. Blood is the Fluid of Life Blood is the fluid of life, it nourishes our whole organism, it allows the vital prana that we absorb from the universe to circulate through our whole body and in doing so it makes up our vitality and builds upon it. In a very esoteric sense blood is also fire, it is like blood has to do with the fire of life, and fire is related with the Divine Mother, the Intimate Christ and the Third Logos.   Fear of Blood So, then back to the fear of blood, we feel the typical symptoms of fear only really when see blood and when we see blood it is because it is outside of our body. The typical symptoms of a deep fear are dizziness, disorientation, anxiety, restlessness, nausea, racing heart, breathing difficulty, cold ...

Just One Ray If we just consider any one ray, we will see that that one ray can not fulfil its function without taking other rays into account. Of course, some rays are more related to other rays, and each ray is very specialised and has a special function to fulfil in creation that is unlike the work of any other ray. We can better understand this point by considering any human profession, where many aspects must be taken into account. For example, engineering relies heavily on science and mathematics but it takes into account finance, law, politics, a touch of love (safety, safety, and more safety, improving the lives of others with new technology) etc. All the rays function with a little bit of the other rays. Some rays of course combine better with others and some rays use more of certain other rays than the other rays that exist. For example, the ray of death works in conjunction with the ray of the Law. The ray of the Law combines with the ray of Wisdom, the ...

The Usual Mediocre Thing Usually when we are criticized or insulted and we feel offended etc. etc. Our perception of the person who insulted us changes. We see them totally different, we begin to become scared of them or we start to think that they are very harsh, rigid, totally unforgiving, ill natured and plus all of that they don’t like us anymore. But the truth is that they are the same as they were before they insulted us. What is inside them has not changed at all. Just one of their egos that was always there said something which it hadn’t said before. They most likely even think the same about us. They may even feel sorry for having said that. The thing is that they are no different within themselves. They may behave differently with us but they are no different. Conclusion What I want to say is that when we see the person differently and feel like a certain fear and rejection that is a pure illusion on our behalf. We can choose actually not to believe t...

Free Will is a Dream While there is Ego Indeed within each ego that we have is trapped a certain quanta of our will. Because of that fact we lack free will. We may not want o feel hurt when insulted but the amount of will trapped in the ego of self-love makes it so that we feel hurt. Why you ask because this ego of self-love wills that we feel hurt. Faced with this situation we can understand that we in truth lack free will. What we have is a clash of wills. The Role The role of the will of any ego that we have, is in general to control the free essence and keep the free separate from the Real Being. Will creates and is intimately linked to the creative sexual force within the human being. The will in the ego also creates. It is used by the ego to create a world separate and outside of the Being, so to give us the sensation that we do not need the Being within us and that we can be all ok living far away from and outside the Being. End (2482).

Root Causes The very deep causes and origins of the factors that caused our previous falls. They are the elements that are oldest in time and which are the strongest. These elements are related to our Principal Psychological Profile. These aspects are dissolved fully in the 6 th , 7 th and 8 th years of Job at the end of the second mountain. End (2481).

True? True! If we know all that we have within we know how we will react psychologically in any event of the future. There will be few surprises. Imagine if your abyss is clear then you most definitely know that your future is in the hands of your Being. Knowing Ourselves Knowing ourselves deeply is the key. Knowledge they say is the key to power. If we know ourselves we can work now to make the future better. Not knowing ourselves makes us victims of our inferior side, the impressions we receive and the circumstances. As we don’t know what will happen in the future and if we do not know ourselves we certainly have no idea how we will be. Maybe victims of circumstance in our particular way. End (2480).

Tendency is to Forget and Identify Not identifying and remembering your Being brings the correct perspective, reduces your stress, saves energy and makes it so that you keep your head and that makes you more efficient. Also you don’t loose your work either. If we are a missionary we need our clarity and energy for the classes that we present at night, and always the day makes the night. If we have had a bad day spending most of it identified, our practices at night will suffer. Our Alchemy, our meditation, our astral will all be weak. Conclusion We need to reverse that tendency of forgetting and identify during the day. Reversing it has very far reaching benefits. End (2479).
