Gnostic Wisdom

Spying on ourselves is the best way to change. Spying means to be following ourselves in a defect.  Spying means constant intense observation never letting what we are spying on to escape. Basically if we let a defect go for a while we lose the trail and we have to start over again.  A lot of us like to monitor the weather, a country's state of affairs, a war, the news etc. In spying we use the same function but make it internal.

When it comes to our centre of gravity, it is either inside or out. It can be outside in a million different ways, though it can be inside in only a few ways. There are a million things that are of the horizontal and life but only a few things that are of the work. Therefore if we are not most of the time bringing the work forth in us our centre of gravity is simply in life. This is the case for the majority of Gnostic students. It is therefore easy to avoid self-deception regarding our centre of gravity.  Often what prevents from working on ourselves or working seriously on ourselves is our centre of gravity that is not the work on ourselves.  End (4610).

The conversations we have every day offer us so many chances to work in mystical death. Conversaton equals self-observation. We have to not let a conversation go without making an effort to use it to get a mystical death conclusion of the conversation. Every conversation in us at least should end with a conclusion that says to ourselves or to another person or persons: "ok well I learnt that I have to die in this and that". If we do this we can stop having what is called time wasting and useless conversations. End (4609).

Consciousness is perception. We want clear perception. Our perception always works, the question is what glasses is our perception working through? If it is ill-will our perception will always be wrong and very unbalanced.  Ill-will sees eveything as bad but not everything is bad. It can not see duality. If our perception be through good-will we will not get things as wrong as when our perception is taken through ill-will. With good-will as our perception the effort to correct it is not as great as when it is ill-will. Ill-will sees eveything in a particular way. In the way that everything is an error, wrong, negative and consequently this leads to the creation of many negative attitudes and stand points.  There are much stronger and heavier egos that keep ill-will in place than good-will. If we have a choice between good-will and ill-will we should chose good-will. That is for our benefit.  We don't choose good-will because we think it is to benefit the other person or o...

Introduction The magic key to success is the centre of gravity. Wherever the centre of gravity is, success will come. In any area of life, human or spiritual where there is someone who has attained success or has reached the pinnacle of their chosen field they have their centre of gravity in that field.  This post is about the importance of the centre of gravity and about how to transfer our centre of gravity to the work. Centre of Gravity Everyone has a centre of gravity. Some are very well defined and so are easy to see while others are not as well defined and therefore more difficult to see. We don't often know that we have a centre of gravity and we don't know where our centre of gravity lies. In general in life people have their centre of gravity in their personality and often people do not know it. We don't need as such to create a new centre of gravity we actually need to transfer it. Because we all have a centre of gravity. We can also create a new centre of gravity...

Hope is more importnat than we think. To lose hope is equivalent to losing our essence. As soon as a human being loses hope for anything - really grave things happen... What is important for us whenever we find ourselves in a very low state of consciousness is to know that a way to get out of it is to grab onto hope once again.  If we are in a low state of consciousness in relation to something grab onto hope related to what we are low in or grab onto hope in relation to something else. We just have to grab onto hope once again!!! Then the power of that hope will do its magical work and take us quickly or slowly out of that state. End (4606).

Human beings indulge in food, in sensations, in impressions, in sleep, in laughter, in many many things.  Indulgence usually has negative consequences due to breaking balance, and so from experiencing those negtive consequences many times over, we learn about the virtues of moderation.  The exact same applies with negative emotions and negative states of mind or consciousness. It really helps us to not indulge in negative internal states. We need to do our best to leave them behind, to displace them, to forget them, to change them. Being negative for too long is way more harmful than we think and can see just now. In the near future it will catch up to us and boy is it hard work to undo! End (4605).

All the seven plus four bodies have their centres. The seven solar bodies plus the four kayas.  Imagine the that the intellectual centre of the Dharma kaya would work in the way the galaxy works according to the laws and principles of the galaxy. End (4604).

When we define ourselves we become very alert. Because serves the yearning. First is the yearning then the yearning calls forth what it needs to be realised. True yearning comes from high up in the tree of Life and from there it can call... End (4603).

Notes Miscellaneous We have our identity and centre of gravity in the personality. The personality is false. There are many people in the world that have the same name as us. Our name, our nationality, our religion, our profession yet we are all different people. Our won real true and unique idetnity is our essence. If we try to use our energy wisely we will discover that pacifying the personality is necessary. The major factor that makes it false is relativity. If we dissolve the conditioning of relativity we remove a way for the personality to express itself.   The personality has good ponts such as communication adn punctuality however we may not transfer them to the work because our centre of gravity is not in the work or either we have to internalise these values which are not easy to do. For example to transfer punctuality to the work it would mean to work on our egos and the impressions straight away.   It is an energetic structure that has certain egos has its ingredie...

The world we live in is not perfect. There are so many factors. To think in terms of ideals in this worlds is right and not right. We have to hold the ideals - like the truth for example until the point that our efforts do not exaggerate and turn detrimental.  To think in terms of ideals causes many clashes and creates a lot of extra work that ends in us being stuck. To think practically is much more efficient and liberating and actually real.  End (4601).

Issue The issue with the personality is that it is a strong conditioning factor. Its conditioning factor is such that it makes it very hard for us to accept something or go along with something that our personality does not like. Refined Personality The personality certainly changes over the course of our life. Basically what changes are the level of its horizontal values. The values are all horizontal life values but they change from wearing very casual worn out clohtes to more formal wear - jackets and blazers etc. From the pub to the cafe'. Really what we do over the course of our life related to the personality is "polishing a ball of excrement". Pacify Personality What helps is to pacify the personality. That is the work that we need to do with it. To know how to pacify the personality we must know when it is active. Once we are aware that it is active we can then relax adn pacify it. The key is spending less time in the personality. The less we spend there the more ...

Introduction Objective of these three posts (4570. 4595 and 4598) is to highlight why we don't transfer our values into the work and why we keep them in the personality. Disclaimer If any points in this or other post hurt or offend it is the personality reacting. Background Purpose of the personality is 'to do' life well in time and in space. In and for life it is great, but in the spiritual work it is a real interference.  Gnosis teaches us that the personality needs to be pacified and later dissolved so that our essence can awaken and relate directly to the Inner Being without any interference. Interferes with the Work In general the personality interferes with the work by transferring the patterns of life and the personality onto the work. Where they do not match and how we add things and do things because of the personality that are not esoterically correct. Examples of how the personality interferes with the work. Examples per centre. Life is what we do in our centres....

Like a donkey. That's what donkeys do. Work all day tilling the land. We think just lust and gluttony is animal, but there are so many animal characteristics that we gladly take on the pursuit of modern life. End (4599).

No matter what area of life or spirituality - if we make it the centre of gravity of our life we get triumph. All those who have succeeded in their goals have done so by making their goals, their centre of gravity. That is often the struggle - to make our goals the centre of gravity of our life. Often once we do things are much easier!  People feel the 'uphill' battle when something is not the centre of gravity. End (4597).
