Gnostic Wisdom

What about if in a moment we wake up and ask ourselves why are we tolerating feeling like this, why do we tolerate these most unpleasant and painful feelings inside of ourselves? We would change. We would no longer want to feel these painful feelings anymore and we would make immediate efforts to stop suffering and stop hurting ourselves and therefore stop hurting others. Why do we tolerate egoic pain? Because something has not sparked or energized our consciousness enough to wake up to that and supply the force to decide to radically end the pain or end the circumstances. End (4269).

We may have nice feelings towards people. Tender feelings even. We get angry and we go to hurt them. Of course they can get hurt and do get hurt, but what is going on inside of ourselves? This is well worth investigating...  We are hurting the tender feelings we have towards people and we enjoy harming those tender feelings, which are our own feelings. Those feelings are in us not in the other person or people. Other people  happen not to see these feelings. We are hurting something I would say that is noble within ourselves. We are hurting and destroying our own noble feelings and a part of ourselves enjoys that - it is like a kind of emotional masochism. Which comes from us enjoying emotional pain or finding that emotional pain is kind of fascinating. We like pain due to punishing ourselves. We like to punish ourselves after having failed at something and failure hurts. We like to hurt others but we don't want that things fail or get seriously hurt. Maybe we hurt our feeling...

After many months of observing while catching the bus I can say the following: True that he has physical disabilities. True that he talks to people on the bus and tries to get them to buy him a coffee or lunch. True he talks to women more than men. True he walks around the city most of the day. True people try to avoid and ignore him. Not true that he is a problem. Not true that he is a pain. Not true that he is unlikeable. Not true that he is unworthy of love. No person is a problem. The problem is that we can't deal with the thoughts or emotions that the impressions from him to us provoke inside of ourselves. Truly working on ourselves we resolve much of the difficulties we have with people. The answer and solution to many issues with people resides in working on ourselves. End (4266).

Master Samael said that what counts most is how we treat others internally.  Why? Because that is the exact measure of how we really are. We can treat others well physically but internally treat them very harshly. A contradiction. But still what we really are is what is going on inside of ourselves. Because from our thoughts we feel adn then we act. Thoughts and feelings are all outside of us. We can treat another harshly but still treat them well inside of ourselves. That is what the masters do when they need for our consciousness to learn something. It is a conscious operation done for the benefit of the essence that has to learn through that side of things, for some reason... Of course we can also treat someone badly inside of ourselves and treat them badly in words and actions. In conclusion, the truth holds: treating others badly is to treat ourselves badly. We treat others how we treat ourselves.    End (4268).

The conclusion is that it is best to link and fuse our sexual energy with the heart. The heart contains noble values. When we link the sexual energy to the heart the sexual energy is then used nobly. Linking the sexual energy to the heart also allows the heart to look over and influence the sexual energy. That is to order it and better direct it within ourselves with higher quality. End (4265).

When we pray or remember our Being, see and feel that you are praying to yourself and our Being together. When we remember our Being see and feel we are remembering ourself and our Being together. No more that we are here and the Being is there up there somewhere. No more of that duality or division but more of that unity. Of course degrees and degrees of unity in our vision according to our capacity. End (424).

To not strain the mind and not introduce tension or tightness into our brain, greet each thought positively. Almost as if to welcome it.  I would say with a kind of smile... Each thought contains a parcel of knowledge about ourselves waiting to be discovered. Each thought is an expression of ourselves. It takes a bit of practice to greet and see each thought without judgment. It is not too hard once we get the hang of it. It is worth making the effort. This is entirely within the traditional practice of meditation.  We are interested in seeing into each thought not judging each thought. Seeing leads to comprehension of a thought, and the thinker of the thought. Judgment on the other hand does not lead to comprehension or insight of a thought. It often leads to negative thought. Comprehension leads to transformation and that is what we are interested in. End (4263).

Today is a great day to link internally to Master Samael. To the spiritual force from his Being, that expresses through his teachings and wishes to liberate us.  We need Master Samael for our liberation. I link with joy and hope and to align my centres, heart, mind, will and consciousness for what his mission on this Earth was for. End (4262).

If we invest our attention on something we give it life. If we are trying to stop smoking and we think about smoking we'll end up smoking again. What we put our attention on we amplify or strengthen. The past, problems, negative thoughts and ideas, negative words are things we often put our attention on and of course that drags us into our own abyss, using our own attention. End (4261).  

Accept whatever it is that we are feeling. Accept as fully and as thoroughly as we can. Know it as deeply and as thoroughly as we can. Know it as a value outside of duality. Once knowing it in depth take it up to a higher, nobler force within our interior Divinity. Joining it to the heart. Then there is transformation. Actually when we take a feeling or impulse up to our Being or interior Divinity we are sublimating. End (4260).

Meditation is not to do anything but rather to be.  Attention free from the motivation that comes from fear, ambition, desire etc. is what meditates. Bare attention we can get too when we don't want to do anything in meditation and have no goal, not even the goal to be open and quiet. End (4259).

I heard m.m.m saying this in classes a few times this week. Reflecting on it, it is true. No one has any power over another unless it is given. Fear, attachment, pride etc. gives others power over us. Whenever we feel overpowered or controlled, remember this truth. Know that you are contributing directly to that situation and then understanding that you will know what to do. End (4258).

After intense psychological upheavals or storms or earthquakes head to the ocean or a stream of naturally flowing water or a river and meditate opening the solar plexus so that it can collect energy - that is the electric prana that flows off the running water. Or either hug a tree asking the elemental of the tree for some energy. The solar plexus is where our energy is stored. After such psychological storms our energy levels are really low. It is so so good to recharge ourselves. End (4257).

Accept it! That's a part of self-acceptance. Accept it to not fight anymore, to quieten the mental storms and to move on and rectify, rebuild, restore and advance.  That's also peace! And progress when we learn anf advance. End (4256).

It is hard to do. But even doing it for a few seconds helps. Even if it is hard we can still do it for a short or long time. We just need to remember to do it. It is good to be reminded and to remind others who are willing to hear this.  This teaching or key applies to both separation from physical and emotional pain. It works for both pains. Why it is so hard is because we first of all believe the following things: 1.) We are the pain. 2.) It is too hard to separate from the pain. 3.) We need the pain.  4.) We like the pain - in the case of emotional pain that is. 5.) We feel a bit special with the pain. 6.) The pain is getting us attention and concessions that we normally don't get. 7.) Separating the pain makes the pain worse. I’ll leave it to anyone who reads this to find it out for themselves if any of these points are false or an avoidance of the truth.  All I'm going to say is that separating from pain is defintely a conscious effort and does require energy, and th...
