Release Comprehension and Consciousness Through Action - Gnostic Way - (5674)

There are a few ways to release comprehension, one way is through meditation and the other way is through action.

When we act we experience, and with experience we learn. With learning we can then turn what we have learnt into consciousness. 

If we do not act we don't get to make anything conscious and we don't expand our consciousness.

Meditating is acting even...

Honesty and Integrity are Allies to Maintain the Value of Sexuality - (5673)

The two values of honesty and integrity help a person to maintain a good relationship to their sexual energy.

When these two values especially in relation to sexuality suffer, a person's sexuality suffers. 

These two values also help a person to solve problems or issues related to sexuality, as well as regenerate and refine it.

Can Never Get Bored with the Word - (5672)

The word seems infinite. 

Seeing how infinite creation is in all its different combinations, the word as a tool of creation can be used in an infinite number of ways.  

We can never get bored of learning about the creative effects of the word, in its different subtilties and aspects of use and results.

Just knowing that the word was there from the begining with 'God', tells us about its vast depth. Just imagine if we go deep into the word what will we find...

Key of the Different Areas of Your Life - (5671)

By the Horns

To take the work on our life by the horns, means to truly focus on our life and stop looking elsewhere for light. 

To focus on our life is to extract light from the areas of our life. Each area has much there to be polished and in polishing we learn a lot.

Our life is like a ball room floor upon which we dance. There are many sections of that floor that are greasy, grimy and dusty, and need polishing. There are also sections of that floor that are shiny polished.

To be able to focus on our life means to accept that our own life has the most to show us and is the most important thing for us to focus our attention on.

Make a list of all the areas of your life. Such as: private alone life, Gnostic work life, relationship life, physical work life, family home life, friends, each relationship etc.

Then list all that is good in those areas and all that needs work. Organise what to do to polish what needs polishing in each area.

Create a work list and go to work. This is our life specifically focused. No escape and is to be fully in our life. This is where we are efficient and stop wasting time.

This is where then we can then see the miraculous in our own life instead of looking everywhere else for it.

Recreating Morning Shower Magic - (5670)

Morning showers can be so good. We relax, we feel good, we organise everything for the day in our mind so easily, new understandings, insights and ideas all appear. 

I've always wondered why these things happen during a morning shower. Is it the conditions? Such as the the running water, the morning, or is due to be able to just relax?

Let's say it's all of those things. The thing is to be able to get those effects within us during the day or anytime we want, if we are in a shower or not in a shower. For example, in the mid-afternoon at the office.

Relax the body and mind, be by yourself or be close to people not needing to talk to anyone, and then visualise running water over your entire body. Feel the water. Invoke the undines both internally and externally to bring the magic of water, and stay still and relaxed.   

Stay with the visualisation and wait a little...

You will soon see glimpses of the magic effects. Let go of the visualisation and stay within those conditions for a while for more effects to appear.

You will see that the whole key resides in recreating the emotional state of the morning shower. We can't do this without imagination and we can't imagine without relaxation.

Detachment from Money to Go Forward - (5669)

We can be attached to the money we have. The perception of money we have is relative. To some it is something, to others it is nothing. 

Besides that, because we don't want to put it, or some of it, at the service of the work, when there is a real opportunity to do so, we end up getting stuck.

Not using that or some of that money wisely at the service of the work and the great cause, ties us further to life and matter. To keep that money intact and do something for the work while keeping that money intact we have to work more and more and the more stuck we get.  

When we release our grip on it, things shift forward for us. What are we here to do? To guard a set of figures on a screen or to live and to go forward in developing our Inner Being?

Trust is important. If we give to the Being, the Inner Being will give back to us. As we have cared for the Being the Being will look after and care for us.

Avoiding People Notes - (5668)

If one day we decide to avoid no one during our day, we will find out how much avoid people.

We avoid people many times during a given day. We only really know how much when we try to not avoid anyone.

Most of the avoidances are due to not having time or wanting to give time. When we are running late we tend to avoid others.

The observation of avoiding people because we are running late tells us a lot. We avoid due to not accepting that we are late and not taking responsibility for our predicament.

We may lack the ability to communicate in a nice way that we can't talk right now. 

When we have done something wrong we avoid people, because we have fear that they will address that. In this case the avoidance is due to a lack of acceptance and responsibility.

To avoid is to not present our face. Which has a lot to do with not being responsible for what we have done. We don't take the step of being responsible because we don't yet want to correct or repair the harm we are responsible for.

 

There is a lot of subconscious to discover when we decide not to avoid people. 

We may not have done anything wrong and we may not be late yet we avoid people. Why? Because there is something that we don't like about them and want to face. Because they have a knack or are the same as us and facing them means to face something uncomfortable about ourselves. 

In general, avoiding people is about avoiding something we find uncomfortable.

Anger Assumes Negative Intent - (5666)

Anger appears and stays, when we for some reason assume or decide that there is negative intent in the other person or situation.

Most of the time there is no ill intent. we assume mechanically and so quickly that there is.

Sometimes yes there ill-intent but we can always choose what we assume. We can always assume a good attitude before ill-intent.   

The way to go forward is to undo the quick assumption of ill-intent and to create positive assumptions that no one is operating out of ill-intent. They are operating out of what's best for them... Which is positive intent right? They are not operating out of a place to deliberately hurt us.

When we do this, we will see some causes of why we assume ill-intent. It often comes from a lacking of some ability. 

For example, we may lack trust in our ability to think and communicate with others to overcome apparent ill-intent. So we then resort to anger to go against ill-intent and solve the qualm with anger and a falling out.

Gauge Progress by Intensity, Duration and Frequency - (5665)

A very good way to gauge our progress without getting disappointed and giving up, is to look at our progress using the following three yardsticks:

1.) Intensity

2.) Duration

3.) Frequency

We can use these yardsticks to see how our work of dissolving an ego and awakening is going.

If there is a forward change in any of these three yardsticks, then we are progressing. As simple as that. 

Yes, we can always accelerate and expand that progress by doing more of what we have already done, and we can always do new and other things as well.

End (5665).

To Not Get Angry - Have to Do Something Different - (5664)

To overcome anger in the moment it is arising we have to do something different. Something different inside and outside. 

That something different is not to answer with force like the other person is if they are, or it is to look for why we, or the other person are angry.

The issue causing anger is not the anger. It is something different that we can work with and remedy.

End (5664).

Home Visit Invitations - (5663)

Home invitations are really good. They give the invitees the opportunity to dissolve and let go of concepts they have those they are visiting.

Concepts changed and let go of is a really good experience. It brings light and a degree of superior emotion. Certainly not a waste to time...

To create new concepts and negative ones at that, is not a useful thing to do for our consciousness.

There are people who invite to their home and there are people who don't. 

The 'plus' of those that don't, is that good concepts (which are maybe false) stay, while the 'minus' is that people don't really get to know them and they give themselves a chance to give from within their at home daily reality. 

The 'plus' of those that do, is that people get the chance to let go of wrong concepts, and the 'minus' is that  perhaps people can get disappointed. This though seldom happens. The 'minus' side here is slight compared to those who don't invite people to their home.

Dissolving the Ego is a Particular Discipline - (5662)

After a while of working on any ego the need for a discipline specific to that ego emerges.

Some discipline examples are: envy - no comparing, lust - cut impressions and no fantasy, anger - few or no words and move on, fear - live the moment and no projections etc. 

It is a discipline that arises out of our efforts of comprehension and yearning to dissolve that ego.

It is something that we create and it makes us to remember what others have said about dissolving that same ego.

Without that discipline we know that we can not progress.

When we start to work with this discipline we are in the way of dissolving that ego.

Holding to that discipline weakens the ego and brings forward the light and strengthens the will to choose the light.

A Complicated Zig-Zag is the Work Reality - (5660)

It seems like the expectation people have to do with spiritual development is that it progresses in a smooth straight line. 

The reality it seems is much more like a very zig-zagged up and down spiral that in time slopes upwards producing development.    

 

The teachings don't really explain this...

It is only really our own example and the examples of others doing the work that we suspect, and later learn, that this is way things go.

It seems that what is important in the path is the overall picture. We all have so much to pay and transform making progress very complicated. 

Because of the time and the complexity many processes must be run together and in parallel. Making things very non-linear, overlapping and difficult to track.

Concepts about the masters and the way spiritual progress go confuse, disappoint and delay us.

The examples of the struggles of the Masters serves to show us the nature of the path and what is important.

We should take our own example and the examples of the masters as the reality. Accept that and work with that. Leaving behind concepts and expectations about the way things should go...

We create so many concepts from the teachings. This is not helpful. We need to work and observe the way things go and then see how it corresponds to the principles and laws of the path and to the examples of others.

We need to comprehend our progress according to the principles and laws instead of creating concepts and expectations which only make things more difficult.

The important factor is the change that we promise and produce. 

End (5660).

Uncertainity Must Take Us More to Our Being - (5661)

Not sure if uncertainty has that function to make us to look inwardly for what is always there and always will be. It sure does do that though.

After looking for certainty in all the different places outside of ourselves and not finding it we have only one other place to look - inside.

There inside of ourselves we can take refuge in that certainty within ourselves. The certainty that our inner Being is there and will always be there and is helping from instant to instant.

Creation of Soul from Inside to the Outside then Back Inside - (5659)

Master Samael says that the soul is fabricated from a movement from the centre towards the boundary returning to the centre. 

For example, we start the work from inside, feeling we need to change. Then we find a school in the outside world and apply the teaching. As we apply the teaching it becomes ours - that is a tool of our consciousness.   

We do that with meditation, self-inquiry, self-remembering etc. 

When we make any teaching conscious we make soul bit by bit.
