Gnostic Wisdom

Human beings always have to have something at their centre. It is a law. It is fundamentally how we all work. It is a part of our structure just as much as having a sun at the centre of a solar system is how a solar system works, and always will work. Human beings therefore so naturally create a centre of gravity. I have seen some families have the cat or dog as their centre of gravity. That is mostly what they talk about, what mostly concerns them and where most of their time and attention goes when they are at home. For some it is a relationship, for others it is food, for others still, it is the ocean, the gym and so and so on. For us, if we want to make the work on ourselves the centre of gravity, we can just as easily and naturally do the same. We can make the human soul our centre of gravity if we wish as well... It all works by loving something. By making it emotional and assigning high value to it. First step, is to find high value and devote to it. Just as we devote to somethi...

We will be at a retreat over the next ten days.  Posts will be very basic during that time. Just an image or two and a line of text. Normal posts to return in about two weeks. End (4884).

Two abysses don't make a mountain. If someone gives us their abyss, we can't ever respond with ours. As just as it feels to do so we can't, because we are appealing to a different justice system. The justice system of our Inner Being. If we hold true to the principles of the Inner Being and not go with our abyss, even though it may be humanly costly and unfair, our Inner Being will compensate us a little later on for that effort. The Inner Being is never scared of human discomfort or sacrifice. Compensation will come to us. This is guaranteed. We just have to wait and even better forget about having to wait, and it will come even quicker. We want and our work wants that the Inner Being in us to be more present and It's ways triumph. When we answer with the abyss we go backwards away from our Inner Being.  We have to not answer with the abyss because it is not of our essential nature and we have to pay the price for not answering with the abyss, because everything costs,...

Waiting or people or circumstances to change is not good policy or a sound technique. It is a hollow sounding technique... We wait for the circumstances to change, where apparently things will be easier. But we don't really know if they will or not. It just looks like it will Many people retire thinking their life will be quieter and easier, yet often it is busier and noisier than before. We wait for circumstances to change because we don't want to make  the efforts to surpass the difficulties of the current circumstances. The circumstances are apparently 'scheduled' to change and they will, if the plans go ahead, but as we haven't changed internally, in some time the same or similar difficulties, through different avenues will return. There is no time to start to the change, the change is now, yet the change once started can take some time, but in time the new will come.  Waiting for the circumstances to change will happen in time, and if there is no internal chang...

Community is certainly a kind of consciousness. We often don't think that it is, but if we reflect on it, we will see that it really is. It is in fact a more expanded type of consciousness. It is a kind of consciousness that covers a greater area of points of view, concerns, knowledge and experiences than the normal individual or family consciousness. So many people are happier in a community, and this is because they enjoy a more expanded and lighter state of consciousness. There are three types of consciousness: 1.) Unilateral  Consciousness of only ourselves. That is consciousness directed in one direction only. 2.) Bilateral Consciousness directed in two directions. That is consciousness of ourselves and others. 3.) Multi-lateral Consciousness directed in a multitude of directions. That is consciousness of many others, even as great as to cover a planet, a solar system and a galaxy or galaxies.  The so called middle-man, has a more expanded consciousness than the buyer or ...

Some ideas to irradiate love and centre our attention on that to become a meditation practice End (4531).

These are the symptoms we typically experience when we become heavily identified with something that is not, and is not of our essential nature.  The more more the thing we are identified with the more severe are these symptoms. When people are under 'stress' these symptoms are common also, especially the hazy memory aspect.   End (4437).

Where does the capacity of self-deception come from? One answer is that is something that we ourselves have created. How have we created it? One answer is through the many difficult experiences of life. We may have found ourselves in difficult life circumstances and maybe the only way to get out of it with minimal effect to others and ourselves was to lie. Which could have included exaggerating our suffering and the difficulties we were going through. Seeing that this worked, we then repeat it and repeat it. Using it as a way to get out of difficulty, sometimes when it was our fault and sometimes when we didn't have the legitimate means ourselves to get ourselves out of difficulty. Creating a pattern of behaviour. As everything in life demands a transaction, we pay for the lies that get us out difficulty by selling our own truth and developing self-deception.  In synthesis, self-deception is something that we create through lying, which starts off consciously then in time becomes a...

Learning about ourselves is really a process of balancing, restoring the balance. That is why learning about ourselves never stops, because the universe is always in a state of flux, meaning that the universe is always rebalancing itself, and learning is one of the processes that restores the balance anew. The oscillations between balance and imbalance is what keeps everything moving. If all was totally balanced everything would become static. But very little is static. As we are alive and we are in a state of flux and always will be and so we will always be learning to reinstate new and old balances. End (4425).

This really works to take ourselves out of identification with subconscious and back into the light of our own consciousness. When visiting the abyss of nature, memory and identity are erased, orientation is clouded, sense of time disappears, and there is the impending doom of  total tunnel vision, which is the way of thinking, feeling and acting of an absurd logic, that obeys the abyss... This is very similar to the state of identification. That is, when we get identified with any ego. The deeper the identification the more intense these symptoms are. When are there remember the four pillars of Being: love, hope, faith and trust. 💖Send love to yourself and your Inner Being together as one. 📿 Hold hope high in yourself and your Inner Being together as one. 💪 Have strong faith in yourself and your Inner Being together as one. 🤗 Trust in yourself and your Inner Being together as one. Doing this keeps us out of our own abyss and free from being connected to the abyss of nature. En...

Some interesting maps of anger being expressed in the world. End (5379).

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...
