Gnostic Wisdom

That's the hard part. But necessary, no way around it. To sacrifice we have to first accept that sacrificing is needed and there is no way around it. We don't accept this so easily. Once we accept it, it is easier to do. Remember sacrifice is the conscious choice of one good superior to another. So in sacrificing the inferior, in this case: fantasy, we are doing it for something superior and something superior will have its recompense. Which is the joy of our consciousness. The sacrifice provides the necessary light to further defeat fantasy. Always when sacrifice is implied focus on the advent of the superior. Not on the loss/absence of the inferior.  End (3709).

I honestly think that the intellectual or mental processes of lust can not really function without fantasy. Fantasy is projection. The thoughts of lust are mostly images. All images are not the reality. You imagine a person but that is the image of the person as you saw them yesterday wearing green, but right now they are wearing purple with messed up hair, all miserable, looking the opposite of how they looked yesterday. The main component of lustful mental processes is desire.  The images are just a consequence, they are called in to give shape or form, support and some organisation and correlation to the desire. Desire is conditioned will. Will organises the mind in accordance with its will. Will is always about 'to do something', like: to eat, to buy, to go, to see, to hear, to travel etc. Furthermore there is always a reason 'to do something'. There is a reason: to eat, to drink, to walk isn't there? Search to find these reasons, inquire within and this inquiry...

Just like everything there are stages and stages of work.  Some stages we know by experience, some by having been taught, some by logical inference and some are totally unknown. The first stage of working on fantasy is to know them. Study them. Know all the types, know all the contents, know all the images, know all the conversations, know the motive, know the trigger, know the lack, know the feelings etc. The second stage is to begin to stop them, limit them, curtail them by means of the comprehension and study we gained in the first stage. The second stage is the most important stage. It provides the energy, light, separation and trust needed to progress. It is by far the hardest part also. The third stage is to comprehend them deeper and actually fill in the compensation with consciousness and right action. For example many fantasies are about a lack of a certain quality, then develop that quality. The fourth stage is elimination. Work with the Divine Mother to dissolve them. Th...

The biggest ego behind fantasy is self-importance I reckon. For me it stands right up there on the podium of the fantasy generator hierarchy. Just on the side, this work on fantasy will show you your P.P.P. The more frequent and constant fantasies come from the P.P.P. The anti-dote to self-importance is self-remembering. Making that the consciousness be the most important thing. Making the concerns of others more important is also consciousness as to take into account others is to be more conscious, as we have extended it beyond ourselves. Most of our fantasies seek the appreciation of others.  Why do we need that? Obviously because there is something inadequate in us. Or we feel some inadequacy. It is up to us with our work to fill that inadequacy gap. Fantasy tries to do it but it never can. The remedy is find the source of the inadequacy and give what we lack to ourselves and if that does not quite do the trick, then search deep inside to find that which we are looking for in ou...

This is a fantasy type like the many others. It is one that we actually live out all the time. There is some arrogance in it. Arrogance is based on fantasy actually. Pull the fantasy from underneath arrogance and it gets jelly legs. This fantasy is where we dream or project that others feel us as being important, dealing with some urgent and serious business that is mysterious and outside of people's knowing.  It has the attitude of look and wonder but don't say anything to burst the unreal fantasy bubble. It has a lot of behaviours, gestures, looks and carrying on, that the fantasy thinks enhances the mystery and important air of it all. It also tries to control certain things to maintain the air of mystery and gravity.  What is really mysterious about any of us?  We all live under a roof somewhere, all have a body that aches and pains now and then, have human beings as friends, have to eat, have to work, have an unruly mind, have good egos, have bad egos, have a beautif...

When working on fantasy it is like we are coming out of some kind of sub-world and starting to live in a new world, almost an unknown world. For a split second we feel we don't know how to live in this new world.  What is worth while in our life, is to make contact with the moment in our lives. There we can meet ourselves and our life as it is. To do that we just need to relax into the moment and focus. Applying all that we have learnt to be more conscious and enhance the conscious experience of our life is what really makes sense to do in life. The rest is all mind, superficiality and time slipping by. Mind and superficiality set up a mechanical existence for us.  The paradox is a mechanical existence does not seem mechanical to the one who is trapped in it. The constant calling of the lower nature to fulfill its desires to the sleeping consciousness seems new, exciting and noteworthy. Only the eventual pain of the mechanical existence causes a spark of consciousness to appea...

There are many fantasies that human beings have. One big one is the chatterbox. Where we are talking away in our heads. Even giving a lecture, a speech, holding a phone conversation, texting, justifying, arguing...  Quite interesting, we actually have arguing chatterbox fantasies. And of course we are winning or doing well in the argument and people are listening and they of course are on our side or are impressed with our arguing skills.  In real life how different that is, no one likes hearing an argument. How hypnotised we are entertaining such an absurd fantasy. This is another one where we can find out which ego is behind it and then begin to work on its dissolution with the Divine Mother. Fantasies are to be dissolved not to be entertained when we know that that's what they are: fantasies its time to work on them.  Dissolving fantasy really helps our essence to awaken more. Slowly, gradually it really helps. End (3704).

Go yellow! This is a quality of real beingness. Well, maybe that is a bit much to say, being daring though, I can say that it is a real human being quality. Hmmm, even who knows, some animals are gentle with their own young and even gentle with other animals, so I don't know really what class of quality it is: spiritual, human, animal, maybe it is all three and is something universal. It is definitely something that exists in life, in nature among nature's creatures and it certainly has its place.  Macho men don't like anything to do with it (at least in public view), but none the less it is a quality of the Being or essence of everyone, and many times it is necessary that it be used. To help others and also to help ourselves. In dealing with a difficult and complicated issue we need it. In working on a very painful defect or memory we need to use it combining it with constancy and focus. The practice of Alchemy is a gentle practice. The third Logos is a gentleman Master Sa...

People are caring more for the floors these days - band-aids everywhere. Golly josh, fantasy has been with human beings for more than centuries, for more then millennia. It is the cloud that has engulfed the consciousness of human beings, affecting their mental processes from the most ancient of times. Only ever to produce in them suffering. Now in this time that we are learning about awakening, it is our battle to defeat it, to leave it by the way side. Exposing it in the light of our consciousness so that we can see for ourselves what it really is. Human beings have lived with it for ages not knowing what it really is. They have been following it, been entertained by it, believed in it, acted because of it, dreamed because of it, failed because of it, remained asleep because of it, suffered daily moment by moment because of it... It has always been there colouring falsely and distorting our thinking. To defeat it is a really tremendous task, but a super worthy one. It is what contrib...

Smug looking oily slick midnight cats in Melbourne lock-down There are not just the typical fantasies of escape: winning the lottery, buying a mansion etc. but many very everyday beliefs, which produce significant suffering in our life. Beliefs such as: people shouldn't judge, people shouldn't get angry, people should always be professional and polite, the cat should spew on the tiles not the carpet, friends shouldn't talk behind our back, the boss should defend our project, people should see I'm tired, people should see I'm not 100% well, our prayers should be answered, I should meditate more, I should be better... are all fantasies! In general whenever a should appears, we are in the fumes of fantasy. The fumes of fantasy make us feel stress and cause us to suffer. What is real is happening, it is what is, in the real there is no should. It is there already before the should.  When 'the should' is about others, it is truer that 'we should'. For exa...

When we get fed up of useless fantasy that is good or bad. If we are working on ourselves it is good because we are ready to step out of it and step more into being present. Soon we will follow through and do this more and more - be more present with less fantasy. If we are not working on ourselves and the fantasy is not really good that can be dangerous depending on the person. Because the person will start to try and make the fantasy real which could be very harmful to themselves and others. Of course the best thing would be that the person wakes up and drops the fantasy but if they do not wake up it is better that they stay in fantasy, especially if it is dangerous.  For example, the person who fantasises and fantasises about a fast car, one day tired of fantasising, goes and steals one and crashes it, injuring themselves and others, during a police chase.  Sometimes for the sleeping person fantasy is best. Only really the people awakening can handle all of their own forces...

Here is the synthesis key to deal with fantasy. Fantasy is the unreal, the false etc. and the essence is the real.  In the face of fantasy we must withdraw our attention and direct it to the essence. In our essence find the real of what the fantasy is looking for. For example, many times fantasies appear to make us feel good. Then noticing that, withdraw the attention and put it onto the essence knowing that it makes us feel good. It is so nice to be essence. That's the nice good feeling that is real. In short the remedy for fantasy is connecting to reality and remembering the essence. End (3699).

A principle of mental hygiene is to watch what we put into our mind. To reduce fantasy, that is, give it less material or no material to feed off, we start to realise we need to submit ourselves to a mental diet. For me movies, stories from people, music etc. are avenues that give the mind impressions to later use in fantasy, or in the case of music, music gives like a kind of inspiration that makes it easier to screen some of the fantasy tapes in the mind. Obviously we are all different but for sure we will all have our particular avenues that feed and strengthen it. When we are fat with something a diet always goes down well. End (3697).

It is good to know our parents and our grand parents, or to at least know about them. Why, because we carry something of them in our genes. You know there is an genetic influence on the egos we have. Sometimes this influence is intense and mathematical in its timing. It has to be a karmic thing, obviously karma moves into us in part, through our genetic inheritance.   Master Samael says we can even be the son/daughter of our own son/daughter. We were the grand parent and we returned as the grand child or great grand child.  Anyway, the point I want to make here is that at the same times in our own life some egos can manifest exactly in the same way as they did in our father or mother at more or less the time when they were the same age as us.  Amazing but very true. We are ## years old and we are about to leave our wife and leave our son # years old without a father. When we were # years old that is when our parents divorced leaving us without a father.   E...

Most of our fantasies are about some kind of glory. Glory images! Many egos actually have their particular glory images. Have a look and you will see that. Nearly all of them like to bask in some kind of glory. We all truly like glory, because real glory comes from the result of striving, will power, defeating adversity, hard work - sweat on the brow, persistence, tenacity, digging deep for renewed effort, etc.  It is the reward for facing reality and triumphing. We like the glory but not what is before. The role of fantasy is to make us feel the glory without the hard work. The way nature and the law works is do the real to get the real. By the Law of Cause and effect, hard work equals a result. Fantasy does not equal real results. So when we start to love work, the real, we are starting to put fantasy aside.  In reality real glory is only really a flash. It shines for a short while then withdraws with us into our essence, where we can enjoy the achievement within ourselves. ...
