Gnostic Wisdom

We all have our outer path. Our daily routine, our physical work, the various family events, daily practical duties around our house and at our work place etc.  What we need is our inner path. Gnosis gives us our inner path. The two paths are very different.  One day our inner path will shape and determine the outer path and also frequently shape it as it goes along. The odd thing out in our outer path is meditation, esoteric practices and prayer... Why do I say odd? Because if we list down all the things of outer life it is washing, cleaning, weeding, cooking, working, shopping and meditation for instance is eh odd one out isn't it? That's why we need two paths - an inner and an outer. True we need two lives or paths, but the main one has to be the inner path and the inner path to sustain the outer. That is the best way to manage the two, to be successful in both... The inner path is the work we are doing. If we are learning to concentrate and to silence our mind that is our ...

Some cultures that have a centre in gravity in the emotional centre make doing the work a bit easier. In the sense that the culture makes it easy to accept the work and the esoteric knowledge.  Cultures where the mind is the centre of gravity don't so much support the consciousness. They support a lot the mind, and these cultures support that the mind take the place of the consciousness and everything else almost for that matter. End (4462).

Many times when I am in a hurry there is always a slow moving car in front of me and the traffic or the roads are such that I just have to drive behind it - sometimes for a good part of the journey. Being in a hurry with the desire to avoid a certain outcome, frustration begins to build and anger appears and then anger brings its particular antics - which are good to see so as to know and then take to dissolution. Much of those antics are absurd, totally out of character and not needed... Anyway... We understand too, that behind anger is a desire and the desire comes from another ego. The desire of the other ego must be worked on also. The desire could come from pride, self-compassion and so on. When we are comfortable about dealing with the consequences of being late anger does not appear in this situation. But what I want to post about is - how a slow car magically appears and how to transform that to take good advantage of it. Normally we see the slow car as a misfortune, a curse an...

Everything has its pros and its cons, and that changes from which point of view you look at it from. But still everything has its pros and cons... Say if we are to look at this question of the centre of gravity in the mind from the point of view of the work we see that its pros are that we will read and study all of the doctrine. Understanding it is another matter but we would have read it all and have put it into our intellect. Which is a big help. The cons are that the mind will by default take the lead. It will via its patterns, concepts and logic block and take the place of the consciousness and because of the belief, trust and pride that has grown for the mind over the years it will be the one turned to instead of the heart (where also the consciousness and the Being in us is). The heart will be seen often as inefficient, unpractical and a little naïve or even a bit silly and childish. There are many cultures in the world that in general have their centre of gravity in the mind......

We can spend so much time 'trying to fix' things. Then a week later or less what was apparently 'fixed' comes undone again.  We say things like: “But it was 'fixed'? I thought it was? What's going going on now - I really thought it was fixed?”. Then we re-fix things and it later comes undone again and we can live just like that in a cycle or pendulum of fixing to fixed to broken to disparo to fixing to fixed to broken and so on and do on… We live in this cycle until one day we see that ‘things’ are not ever really fixed because 'fixing things' is not dissolving the egos that are behind the issues and problems that we are trying to always fix. If we are to dissolve the egos behind the issues, conflicts and dramas then we can sleep soundly at night that things will remain ‘fixed’. We can't 'fix' egos we dissolve them….  We painfully learn that issues and problems are really fixed by dissolving the egos involved.  Gnosis was always right. Af...

Consciousness aims for understanding and bypasses blame, finger pointing and being stuck in any detail . It looks for understanding because it knows that with understanding it will arrive at the root of the issue and from there a solution can come. If we don't address the root cause then it will reoccur and reoccur. Focusing our consciousness on understanding produces a different way of speaking, which is somewhat friendlier. There is not that air of attack and reproach and the spirit of searching for understanding prevails. When we also focus on understanding our consciousness so naturally activates active listening and from there we can start to understand and be able to put ourselves in the shoes of others and see the bigger and more real picture. End (4458).

I have always found myself and others too, to react better and produce real changes when instead of admonishment to do with the correction of the error there has been education.  Education is clear and purposeful yet it has a kindness or good will to it. When we educated instead of admonished we actually listen and we are shown what and how to show. Admonishment often makes us scared or angry and we then can't or don't listen to what is being said, and admonishment just says what needs to change but the 'how' is not given. So the end result tis that we don't change and we create a new facet of fear and anger related to that area of admonishment - for example - leaving the lights on. In conclusion if we want to get through to others better - go the way of education rather than admonishment. Education though is still firm and clear but with an unmistakable air of kindness or good-will. This is s real point that if we apply it we can do a lot of good. Reap a lot of res...

It is a big obstacle - my goodness. To be always be thinking in our background that we are right and that we have something right is a tremendous obstacle.  In such a state we are always angry and always defending and then attacking... It is not a good way to think about ourselves - that we are always right.  The better way to think is to think about finding what is correct and right according to our reference points of the work, the path and the Being inside of ourselves. Think to find what is correct by those reference points is best. When we find it we know what is right which is consciousness and not ego, which is different. We no longer attack or defend with anger. End (4454).

All of us human beings on the planet can work on themselves, know themselves, awaken their consciousness, transmute their energy and awaken their psychic faculties etc... The thing is few want to. We are not special or more than others - because we can all do what others do. It is just a matter of time.  We may feel better because we want to - but it is not us that wants to - It is our Inner Being that wants to and drives us through wanting to. Every other human being has a real Being also...that at some will want to too... We are all the same learning and working at the level in which we are at... End (4455).

We have been so many people. We have been terribly nasty and arrogant in the past and in reality we still carry that within. Our subconscious knows that and knowing plus experiencing the karma that it brings we go to the other side and we create good egos and a good side, out of fear of the bad side. We do this in many areas of life. For example, in sexuality, in the field of spirituality, in the field of speaking, in the fields of relationships, in our the field of career, possessions, money etc. In nearly all the fields.  Extremes don't take us anywhere. The middle takes us everywhere - especially to the place called - correctness, contentment, happiness etc. Both sides have to be dissolved. When one side is dissolved - the bad side side the fear disappears and so the foundation upon which the good side was created then crumbles.  In reality there is no time to work only on one - we have to work on both sides to get the consciousness to be in charge as quick as possible. End...

Psychological maiming is when we stop a part of our nature from acting or flowing.  For example to take a vowel of silence or abstinence is to psychologically maim ourselves. In those cases we psychologically maim our tongue and sexual centre.  We know of course that our word and sexual energy can be used to do ourselves a lot of harm in the spiritual field. Our word especially can harm others in all other fields of life as well. However the word and the sexual energy can do marvels for us in the spiritual field. So it is not right to cut those functions out of our life and away from ourselves. That is why it is something from the abyss. Because it is illogical - why cut off a part of our nature that is God given and is useful to go back to God and to help others to go back to God. It is the absurd really. The above are just two examples, but we do that in much smaller and diverse ways with our own nature, with our strengths, with our abilities, with our virtues, with our cons...

People have their disagreements, that's a reality of life. Even when people are doing the work on themselves and have been doing so for many years... Disagreements appear as expected and sometimes unexpectedly. The unexpected ones can be the worse type... I think disagreements appearing is not so much the issue, it's how we deal with them that is the real issue. Here are some notes about dealing with them. Try hard to not be scared of them. Don't worry that they appear, they have to appear to show us what to work on and because we are all different and we all have our particular way of thinking. Disagreements are often due to us just having a different mental position or state. Meaning each person is coming from their own side and on their own side are their values (egoic or conscious), their level of Being and their level of work. Listen properly, employ a wise silence and speak when we have to.  Don't add content that aggravates... Wisely introduce space... Gaps in sp...

Here below are some notes from a talk m.m.m gave recently. We forget God when we are in pain...  We forget God when we are experiencing pleasure... When we are in the extremes we forget God. God is found outside of duality, outside of the two extremes. Unity is the place where we find God... The right state of consciousness is the presence of God in us. The right State of consciousness is to recognise the presence of God in us. Awakening is to give God Its right place in our life and constitution. End (4450).

It is worth conversing with others when what has been learnt through the work on themselves is spoken about. On the other hand listening to others talk about how the work should be and how people in the work should behave is something that doesn't have the same balm for the soul effect... End (4448).

The more we respect others the more respect grows inside of ourselves for everyone and for ourselves. The more we treat others with dignity the more dignity within ourselves and towards ourselves grows. It is a fail when we treat others disrespectfully because we feel directly that respect inside of ourselves and for ourselves has lowered. It is a specific feeling - it can only be felt - to think about it is not to experience it. There are so many people in jail says that the surveys that are there because they felt disrespected or were disrespected and did not respect others or themselves... End (4449).
