Gnostic Wisdom

You know we have egos related to specific others. For example, we fear someone and fear in relation to the person is very strong. But in relation to another person it is not very strong at all. We can not feel fear at all to say whatever we feel. But in front of the other person we are jelly boots. The same thing applies for many other egos and people.  So what do we do then? We just have to work those egos as if they were an ego and overcome them in our relations with that particular person. General work on that ego helps but the real effective work is done in relation to, that is in action with that particular person. Do you have that situation in your life? Sometimes it can be related to men in general or women in general, or authority people, or subordinates etc. etc. End (3633).

One day as essence we arrive at the humanoid state. We then live several existences as a human being on Earth.  Eventually as a human being, if we do not take the leap onto an evolutionary path we end up stagnating and all the elements that we have accumulated that do not serve our evolution wait to be removed from us, so that we can have a chance at this evolutionary path once again. To have all those elements from ourselves removed we must be reset.  Just a note, when we reset our phone all the settings that we added to it are deleted and then the phone starts up again following the whole start-up sequence to finally load its operating system in the default state. We send its operating system back in time. When anything is reset, like a computer or electronic device, that device is set back to its beginning - to the way ti was clean out of the factory. In our case we are set back to our beginning as a humanoid. There we regress in time, we go back to what we were before we w...

Sorry I know that this is not really the right time to post a title like this...  With the physical death of many around the world so close, it sort of inspires this practice. I think it is good to now and then in our life, voluntarily have a look at death. So I say to do this by jumping into a coffin. Most of us can't because there is no coffin around to do that and coffins are very difficult to come by, plus they are also very expensive. So in our imagination lets jump into a coffin and lets imagine we have died.  So like everything in our life has ended. Gnostic group, Gnostic activities (our work with our essence continues though), our job and its responsibilities, family, relationships, pet care, daily life routine... Oh God what a relief I am feeling just now!    As soon as we jump into our coffin and do this in earnest, death begins to reveal itself to us in the way we most need to understand it and apply it in our life in this moment. Death speaks to us, teac...

Attention and consciousness are intimately related. Attention is the vehicle of consciousness. Where your attention is, your consciousness is. Attention solves and heals.  In our attention is love, energy and intelligence. When we give someone our attention they are loved, healed and their problems can be solved.  When human beings place their attention on physical things like a place, an object, that object or place becomes infused with energy or Shakti and that makes it special or magical. Attention is a flux of energy that transfers our energy to it. Attention nourishes. No wonder why some of our egos sometimes enjoy and crave for it. Attention is the flow of life and will.  End (3615).

The two are not the same. One is the fire and the other the suffocating toxic smoke (lust). Sex is a universal creative power. An origin of all things. Something that goes far beyond any human ideas. Something that stands as a reality by itself. Something whose energy surges through all of existence.  As sex is the origin of all things it is in all things. Its energy, the vital life forces that it summons in its act of creation are imbued in everything.   It is something vast, expansive and altogether cosmic and universal. It can take one everywhere. To the depths of degeneration, all over the world by populating it, and to the heights of regeneration. Our issue with it, is that we bottle it up into images of the human sexual act, we further bottle it into various emotions, and later into uses, with most of them being subconscious. Lust uses sex, but lust is not sex. Lust is a limited psychological creation. It is not an originator or a creative ...

A quality of the very nature of the mental substance, is variety. The mental substance likes to vary and jump from one thing to the next. For sure the worst thing to the mind is concentration but on the other hand that is the only thing that causes the mind to release its power, and that is also when it is most useful to us. We see this in the behaviour inherent in many egos.  The ego specialises in distraction. The ego of lust is always looking at others. The ego do to with spiritual ambition is always looking for different teachers, groups and books. Pride is always looking at different others to be better than, and so on for many of the egos that we have. With focus we void much egoic influences and behaviour. Loyalty is another word for that focus. This is easy to see in relation to spiritual ambition, lust and pride. In relation to spiritual ambition it would be focus on one's work, in relation to lust it would be focus on one's work with one's Being and Alchemical par...

Two opposite poles unite and via their union a third is produced which transforms the original two. In our psychological work we have that. When we work on an "I" we are discovering an unknown part of ourselves. It is like the encounter of the 'aware of' and the 'unaware of' parts of ourselves. In other words an encounter of two opposite poles of ourselves.  As we work (observe, study, comprehend) on the 'unknown' we come to certain realizations about the 'unknown'. We finally see the essence trapped and as we work we bit by bit transform or better said de-condition the 'unknown' trapped essence. The 'unknown' slowly as we work and work becomes more of the 'aware of', as it becomes more accessible. In other words the virtue begins to appear out of the defect. For example, we are working on lust and slowly the yearning to leave all those ways behind and unify our sexuality into one peaceful way of  transmuting - using our...

Someone says I'm going out and we get upset and we say: "Where are you going? To the pub?". We are projecting onto others something of ourselves. Most likely from our own short comings. What happens is that when we project our short comings onto others we get upset with them and then  we maybe reject or become distant with them. But the thing is that we are actually rejecting our own projections, which means our fantasies which also means a part or parts of our own psyche. Because its our psyche that fantasizes. Being upset with the person also means that we don't relate well with those projections which come from our short comings or in other words from some of the egos we have.   If we relate badly to something inside of ourselves it means we havn't accepted it and become conscious of it yet, all because we have not seriously worked on it yet. Seriously means to work to eliminate. End (3629).

A thought that causes upset emotion appears. We know it is not quite true. We ask our mind is it true? The mind and our essence reply: "No it is not!", but the emotion persists. Well we then need will to drill and drill the truth that it isn't true into deeper levels of our mind to eventually reach that level where the mind is persisting in thinking or believing that the premise of that thought is true. We need to use will. We don't have another internal resource but that power of causing within us - which is our will. Of course our consciousness which is above will is using the will to make the mind get freed by realizing the truth in its deeper levels. End (3628).

If you are new to Gnosis and you live in Perth and are you interested to start studying Gnosis then you are welcome to attend a talk of an introductory type to Gnosis over a three week bracket. Of course if you like what you hear you can stay for the course that will follow. Or if you know someone who is interested in Gnosis you are welcome to pass on the invitation with class starting at 7:30pm. End (3611).

We know that within us there are the male and female divine principles. The human soul (Manas or Tipereth) and the spiritual soul (Buddhi or Geburah). In order to create certain aspects of the inner universe of our Being, these two Divine parts complete the sexual act. A divine act. They combine and create within our interior from their divine union. When these parts unite there is further unity and completion in the Being. When all parts of our Being have been found there is unity and completion.  That unity is of happiness and sexual energy being an energy of unity and an energy ultimately of the inner Being is also happiness. The nature of the divinity is happiness and this is present in the sexual energy. That is why many people seek the sexual act, out of the instinctive knowing of the quality of that energy. Usually the interior states that need compensating for such as sadness, boredom, feeling low, cause a person to seek the sexual act. It has been said that the utmost auth...

It is really hard to not think about something that bothers us so much.  Really the thoughts are the ones that bother us. Our projections, our assumptions, our imagination, our memories that inevitably send us into psychological crisis. Working and working and holding on we begin to pass through the emotional storm and as we emerge we begin to notice that we have a new quality which is to at will not think any those thoughts that bother us so much.  Those thoughts arise, the mind says: "well what about that again hey, think of that, that will happen!" then we can just ignore it and switch our attention elsewhere without feeling that awful emotion that previously we felt for a long time after and was really bothersome. The capacity to not think an ego is really hard earned for at times.  End (3627).

Not just the wacky unrealistic class of fantasies - not that, but anything out of reality of the present moment. The many thoughts that don't have anything to do with the present moment cause us trouble especially when a big painful ego is in our human machine.  If we stick to reality we see how that helps us so much to feel better and how that can help us to cut through the many ways through thoughts that that big painful ego has a hold over us. The important is the present, focus strictly on the present. We can feel the future by virtue of making the present right now clear. That future is different to the projections that scare us.  The projected visions of the future that don't come from being conscious right now in the moment here and now scare us and will disappoint us when we pass through that future event. End (3624).

There are a few refuges: our interior divinity - our heart temple, the guru and a quiet mind. When a big ego painfully and frightfully assails us, the above are a refuge! Though there is a fundamental refuge that makes all the others more effective. It is the no-thinking! Just one thought, one association, one memory can cause painful havoc inside of us. If we begin to  We really really practice no-thinking when we need to, when an ego so frighteningly assails us.  Just like when Buddha held a disciple underwater and pulled him up asking him: "What did you think about when under water?" The disciple said "Air!".  So then that is when we really practice no-thinking.  End (3625).

In the later years of his life Master Samael made it known that his inner Being - Samael the Logos had the gift of ubiquity. He told a gathering of students in Mexico that while he was talking to them he was also in Tibet, dressed in the traditional Tibetan style leading a caravan. He was then asked is it that the essence is divided into fractions, to which Master Samael replied "No it is the same soul.". For me that was very difficult to understand. However it is easier to understand if we see that the human soul of master Samael is one and from that one human soul derives the essence. One essence, two essences, three essences etc. can derived or taken from that same one human soul. Thus we have a bit of an understanding about where a Monad's one or two or three different vehicles come from. The vehicle is really the essence, no the physical body but the essence. If our Monad has two or more vehicles, well we are the one working on ourselves and we are the one our Monad ...
