Descent into the Abyss and its Connections When a person works seriously on a defect, for certain periods of time they end up being deeply submerged into that defects states of consciousness. This is so to really know and comprehend it.  A part of that submersion is a descent into one's own abyss. While in one's own abyss connections are made to the abyss of nature where that defect is dominant. That connection to the abyss of nature allows a person to see that defect in operation all over the world in nature and humanity. Hence the world of that defect opens up. It turns out that the defect in our own abyss is the same as it is in humanity. What we have inside is reflected outside.  The order is to descend into our own abyss to know and understand and then automatically comes recognition and comprehension of the same defect in the world. There is really so much anger in this world. So much of it is commonplace, so normal and accepted, even revered, and some of it is widesprea...

Here are some notes regarding the practice of the Alchemy as taught in Gnosis. Here are some other complimentary notes: • Arousal, movement, channelling, transmutation and sublimation of the sexual energy are the key stages to work with and through. • Prayer sublimates a to fix the transmuted sexual energy into the higher dimensions and parts of ourselves.  • Prayer converts mechanical imagination into conscious imagination. • Prayer and the remembering of the Inner Being whiten the waters. Transforming the black waters to white, and the white waters to yellow. • Lust is misdirected erotic fire. Also known as the arsenified sulphur. We all have an erotic fire. The erotic fire that is free, that is outside of memory and psychological conditioning (ego, mind and personality) is what must be used for the practice.  End (4043).

The critical moment is where we decide to throw away common sense, the work, the essence and what is good and right, to the painful, ridiculous and destructive... This is the most important moment that we must prepare for in our daily work. Prepare ourselves to triumph in that critical moment. Rehearse within ourselves before if necessary.  Work intensely with our Divine Mother to not give dust in that critical moment. If the critical moment passes without us having thrown away the precious pearl then all else that comes will be easy. Hold onto the precious pearl firmly. End (4259).

Mystical pride is a little scary how it can close the path off for a person. To the point where the person themselves will close the door to the path they so yearn for. To feel that we know it all already, and that we shouldn't have to wait to receive the advanced teachings that we yearn for. To feel that we are ready now and we should be in the advanced classes already because of what we know from other studies, that are not Gnosis, is mystical pride.  It would be so simple... Apply what has been taught and exercise patience which is everything in every place of life and requires deep self-knowledge, would be all that is required to overcome the first layer of mystical pride and get what one yearns for... Many newcomers to Gnosis face this obstacle in some way or another. It seems the more knowledge or data rather, the newcomer has the more difficult it is. To think that the age old tradition of neophyte, chela, apprentice, initiate, master, guru and so on, no longer applies for t...

The more we escape from dying in our defects we are faced with, the harder it will be to face and escape from them later on. The same task is easier earlier on, but gets much harder later on. If we leave something for too long, the accumulated backlog can be too much to work through and so another avenue opens up which can be in many ways very disappointing.

Psychological balance rules so much of our lives. We are always engaged in some sort of psychological balance seeking activity. When something no matter how small or big happens to us, our psychological balance is affected.  When we are unable to immediately return to balance within ourselves, we strongly tend to quickly go outside of ourselves to seek that psychological balance. For example, we may receive criticism which surpasses our concept of what is constructive, and so we feel unfairly treated and inwardly we are out of balance. Unable to balance that inner imbalance, we return fire, until we see the criticising party is somewhat diminished and sorry for their words. As soon as this is happens we feel inwardly balanced again. That is how we roll, all day and every day. How to find balance within without having to go outside, is a really good question, and is one that in order to die in certain egos such as pride and anger we need to answer. Suppressing our outside movements ...

Reviewing Invocations There are many concepts to review within us regarding the many invocations that we as Gnostics make. Points Here they are in point form: ★The Beings we invoke don't always come. They send another instead or they may wait. Our invocation may not reach them. ★The Beings we invoke can't always help as we are not ready, lack merit, have made an unjust petition or are not willing... ★Sometimes the Beings we invoke can't help us directly but engage others (people) and other Beings to help us instead. ★The Beings we invoke help us. Sometimes it is quick and sometimes it takes time. ★Some Beings respond better to the words we use to invoke and ask. ★Some Beings only come when invoked in the name of the Christ. ★The Beings we invoke may test us before helping us. That is testing to see how much we want what we are asking for and to see what our values are and where they lie. ★Sometimes the Beings we invoke have certain prerequisites to be fulfilled before helpi...

There comes a moment when we see that it is not really the other person. It is the ego within us that causes our problems.  The problem we think comes from the other person provoking our ego causing the problem, is not really the case. It is really our deficiency in being able to face and intelligently relate to very real aspects of ourselves.  Such as: the past, fairness, expression of will, uncertainty, freedom, affection, rejection, difficulty, correction, forgiveness, concepts, ideas, feelings, intellect, mental patterns, sense of right and wrong, the word etc. Other people are there to make the way we relate to the values at the heart of the issues we face with them, more conscious, and aligned with reality, which includes the reality of the Inner Being as well as the physical and psychological realities.

Introduction We have to know how best to relate to memory, which means to know when we have to liberate ourselves from it and when we have to use it to our advantage. To liberate ourselves from 'something', we have to know that 'something' really well.  Just like the prisoner who wants to escape his or her prison, the more intricately they know about the prison and the way its managed, the more possible it will be to escape.  The work with memory is to not erase memory, it is to work on the effects of memory within ourselves.  Memory is such a tremendous part of the way we work. Try to imagine how we would function without memory... All of our thinking is based on memory. As are our concepts and perceptions. The Cosmos, the Gods and nature have memory. As master Samael says when the great Cosmic Night comes, creation withdraws in the AIN SOPH AUR, and what remains of creation, is only memory, that which the Divine Beings remember.  Memory in the best way allows conti...

This infographic explains so well the while Anglo-Saxon personality of the countries listed in the post title. This is a really good description of the typical mask we are given to wear to live in those countries. The work gives us the option to not have to wear that mask. End (4175).

Just something interesting to browse over and pick up a detail or two to make our use of the word more conscious.  End (4174).

Introduction We all do our identity. Whatever our identity is, we do.  If we are a doctor we see and help patients who are unwell. If someone takes on their identity to be the essence (essence-identity) what would they do? Essence Does As Identity Is Some of the things the essence-identity does: 🌞Holds the cosmic perspective of itself as a citizen of the cosmos. Knows its future as a cosmic citizen which is far beyond the future of the human, which is no future but the grave. 🌞Remembers the Divine Father-Mother, never forgets its Divine origin. 🌞Works for the priorities of the Father-Mother. Which are inner development of itself through mystical death and awakening. 🌞The will of the Father-Mother. 🌞Works for other essences. 🌞Lives out the values and principles of the Father-Mother inside if itself. 🌞Transforms the many impressions of the events of daily life to extract wisdom and learning for itself and the Inner Divine Father-Mother together.  🌞Transmutes the raw ener...

Whenever we take responsibility we diminish negative emotional states. If we feel: deceived, angry, cheated, hurt, scared, anxious, stupid, incapable etc. Taking responsibility for our part in us feeling this way helps.  Sometimes it completely transforms our interior state into one of  action: 'getting done what we need to do", and sometimes it only partly transforms our interior state. In any case it helps!  End (4155).
