Gnostic Wisdom

Do you know your occult anatomy? In theory we may. One day we have to venture further. We only really come to know our physical anatomy when we have a health problem of some kind. As we are unwell in our occult or esoteric/spiritual nature it is time for us to know a little about our occult anatomy. Because within our occult anatomy are keys to our spiritual progress. This post is no more than a compilation of brief notes written succinctly about our occult anatomy. More to come... End (3379).

If you have jealousy I don't care to hit it. Dissolve it! I am working on mine and weakening it more and more. I am certainly not going to protect jealousy in anyone, if what I want is for it to die. I have seen a good few ladies (some men too) with a some time in Gnosis manifesting this ego. With contorted and angry faces possessed with that seething look or that panic even. In a high majority of the cases it turned out to be nothing, a 'flash in the pan' - jealousy getting it wrong. Usually when the perceptions of jealousy are onto something, the jealousy of the lady manifesting so frequently and outwardly with the sharp barbs of ill-will, often drove the guy into resentment and things spiraled pear shape from there. Of course the guy has his big egos too which give the pear it’s shape. Jealousy and its intense scrutiny, focusing on the smallest details to make conclusions, that often make the person look embarrassingly petty. Anyway what can you do? It is a hu...

Lust fattens itself in a person when the person looks at the images generated by their own mental images, which are like fumes rising rise off something seething away. Images that are ideal, perfect in appearance, but are illusory. The trouble occurs when we believe in them and then as soon as we do, lust tightens its grip.  Reality has a powerful illusion breaking ability. No person has a perfect body-personality. There are frailties, weakness, things out of shape, unequal proportions, asymmetry, bumps and lumps etc.  Being close to reality disperses all these mental images with their unreal qualities and peels back what is illusory so that one can then see the real and reach out for it. The real is the human essence. End (3401).

We may not be able to move forward in the dissolution of an ego because of the strong belief that we need something. We just believe we need it and we have to have it and as the ego gets it for us, we see that we can't do away with the ego just yet. A stand still...An impasse...  But there is a solution. Put that need in the hands of the Divine Mother. If we really do need it, then she will provide it. Put that need into her hands, lifting the responsibility off your shoulders. Then as that responsibility is out of our hands we don't need that ego anymore. We can proceed to work on it. Go to the next level in weakening it. We can act towards getting that thing but asking for the Divine Mother's support and guidance and if it does not work out She did not approve - leave it. End (3405).

The antithetical thoughts are those that stand in direct opposition to the quality of the environment that we are. For example we are in a class room all listening respectfully, writing notes and happy with what we are learning. The the antithetical thought would be to start jumping up and down dancing to and spraying graffiti on the walls. When we create an ego from the 'not to do' stand point we are going to get a lot of antithetical thoughts. For example, we create polite and respectful egos out of not wanting to be rowdy, disruptive and disliked then we are going to have plenty of thoughts were we are ridiculously rowdy and disruptive etc. This is the key to the antithetical thoughts. Make this observation and you will be able to understand them and stop them by beginning to work on the opposite ego that created them. End (3404).

Classes there were few of back then. More one to one. Now days classes is all it is. Well, classes with practices. The most effective method of delivering the teachings is one to one. Back then in the temples, with masters and disciples it was the appropriate time and setting to deliver that way. However, now days given the general sate of consciousness and level of being classes are the more acceptable way to approach the public. Not all modern schools use classes though, the master finds or chooses a disciple and instructs one to one. Under the guidance of the master the disciple later becomes the master and the chain continues. One of the reasons why the ancient schools were so effective was that they used this method. As well as of course what they taught and how they taught it. Back then application of the teachings was dedicated and supervised. In these times there is no supervision and the setting is not right to be dedicated. The success rate back th...

Lust looks for what is pleasing to the senses to evoke the effect of ones likes and affections... It is among many things a trigger that releases one's own feelings and currents of affection etc.  It uses an external trigger to spark our own forces. Ultimately it is our forces, our affections and energies that are at work. We think that it is all the other person. But no, it is ourselves. Our own psychology allowing an external trigger to move our latent forces. We like our own forces not so much the other person. That is why relationships based on lust wither. after a while the trigger stops working and nothing arises but emptiness, disinterest, indifference etc. A trigger that does not wither is needed, an internal one, one that is within the possession of the person. One can only possess what is inside of them. Because it is our psychology or mind providing the trigger we can change it. We can change the trigger point. In the way of lust we lack control...

We can use the technique of meditation where we let the mind go... The only proviso is to keep awareness. Using this technique is a concerted effort of awareness. It implies no fighting. Letting the mind go but let go consciously and watched over at all instants. For sure we will get to know the mind well. No other technique offers such a learning opportunity. The awareness is to be aware of all that the mind does knowing that we watching it on purpose to study it and exhaust it. This is also called Mo-Chao or serene observation. The mind will get tired and get quieter and quieter. How long this will take is really unknown. It can be quick or it can take a long time. It amounts to how much time you have, how patient you are and for how long you can sit still for and how long you can keep aware for. Inquiring into the thoughts when they arise accelerates this process of knowing the mind, activating our consciousness and exhausting the mind. End (3395). ...

When we really love practicing or love what we are exercising when we practice that is really when we practice. Because that is when we really concentrate. When we love concentration we then begin to really concentrate.  Applies for all the practices. End (3403).

A useful and simple way with terrific benefits to discover our defects is this: Attempt to be perfect in each activity or thing that you do. Or Attempt to be perfectly balanced or do the best that you can. Chose one of the three and work by it. This will become a reference pint, and the many subtle defects that we have will show up clearly against the white backdrop of this reference point. It is very useful to have a few reference points in our work. Actually without them we are lost,. End (3400).

The things on this blog can be pretty dry. Techniques, methods, work, explanations etc. dry like a sultana. Sometimes you need something like a fresh bubbling brook that rests, renews, clears, delights and takes you into the magical... Something that nourishes your interior world - your essence through mystical emotion. For me mystical meditations on the heart temple or the Ocean are just the thing. To enter into our internal worlds - the magical land, using imagination and will of the heart.With concentration leaving the physical world of troubles, maintaining oneself inside as long as wanted, waiting delighting in what will form on the mirror of the soul (imagination) and what words of wisdom will silently echo forth from within the cavernous reaches of the heart. The Ocean how nourishing is that, the vastness reminding you of the infinite ocean of which we are all drops, the mysterious uncharted depths, the enormous sources of life giving prana, the undines, so...

To remain transmuting a person needs to have a higher goal or use for that transmuted energy. People lose the plot when they don;t have a higher goal or use. It is always good to have a goal or use for the energy you transmute. It is always good to have that in mind. Because we need more free essence, to transmute and chant KRIM afterwards asking the Divine Mother to dissolve and "I" we are onto is a good use. End (3397).

A key factor in getting angry or not is respect. When we respect a person or something we channel anger differently. If someone we respect gives us egg noodle instead of Ho Fun noodle - no problems we just eat and say: "that was good".  But if someone like a family member or friend through various experiences of life wee have less respect for gives us egg noodle we get angry without delay and feel little remorse.  So the moral of the story is if we keep respect for every one and everything the fence is too high for the bull of anger to jump over. When respect is low the fence is low and the bull can easily charge in. Always find something to respect even if it is yourself. End (3369).

That's what we need for God's sake! More free essence! No other way to get that than to look inside, find any ego, separate it, comprehend it and ask for its dissolution from the Divine Mother. Even if there is only little comprehension making that effort to see it foreign and asking the Divine Mother to dissolve it, frees a spark or two of essence. Your day doesn't really start until you have chanted KRIM! End (3394).

Us human wake up in areas. Area by area. Priorities is an area for sure. When we are not awake to priorities we do silly things. We are silly really. To not be in reality makes us asleep to priorities. When we get more in touch with our essence - certain essence related priorities appear. One is to free the trapped and conditioned essence and another is to wake up. when we wake up to priorities of the essence we understand that it is the most important thing to do with our life. With this awakening we are set up well in life.  We will be able to stop ourselves from sending our essence and the efforts to awaken to the background, when work, dramas, intense events try to become more important to us. When one wakes up a bit to priorities the need to free the essence and wake it up become the most important thing in practical actual facts of life. Not just gas bagging it in lectures etc. End (3393).
