Gnostic Wisdom

Have you ever been in that situation where you find yourself making all these efforts to help someone and in the middle of it all you ask yourself: "What am I doing? Why am I running around for this person I have barely any connection to?". "I do not work for this person. They are not my family or friend. I am not getting paid for this and I'm not going to get anything back...They have done nothing for us before and I doubt they really care either?". This is a really interesting situation. There is definitely a higher power at work and present for us to perceive and make contact with, if we choose. Psychologically it is really good to discover why it is that we feel we shouldn't be helping. Is it a personality thing (different culture), selfishness, do we feel the situation unfair - we have given and now we are still giving, there has to be some kind of psychological reality behind that feeling. The interesting thing is that even though we have that "wh...

To Those Who Know! There are those who don't know, and they don't know that they don't know. They are innocent as children, and it is for us to nurture them, to encourage them! Then there are those who don't know and who know that they don't know. They are witting; teach them! Then there are those who don't know and think that they know. They are dangerous; avoid them! Then there are those who know but don't know that they know. They are asleep; awake them! Then there are those who know and who know that they know. Do not follow them because if they know that they know, they would not have you follow them. But listen very carefully to what they have to tell you ...

All these qualities have two sides. Seems like everything walks on two feet... Real compassion is not an exception here. The two legs of compassion are non-judgement and remedy. To give ourselves or others non-judgement is great but it does not take one out of error. It opens the way to get up and get out of error, as it allows vision and understanding of what went wrong. But it does not give the practical steps and the strength and hope to get up and walk again. Remedy alone helps, but later becomes difficult to maintain, if the what went wrong has not been understood due to having justified or condemned ourselves through judgement. Combining non-judgement and remedy together is compassion which is a powerful active reinstating, recuperating, healing and returning force. End (6053).

It's a pretty interesting situation to be upset and want to destroy something. It may happen more often than we care to admit... Anyhow if we catch ourselves there, getting close to wanting to destroy something inside or outside, then just wait a moment and have a look to see what value we are really wanting to have. Remembering the conditioned essence in her conditioning makes 'destroying' the same as 'having'. The ask quietly the question, can we possibly get that value by ourselves without destroying anything.  What we usually want to destroy or end up destroying, even if we are aware of it or not, is the same value that we are really wanting deep down. In wanting respect from others we destroy respect for ourselves and the respect others have for us, trying to get it. End (6051).

When the Gnostic Sophia lacks something in her nature, she is compelled by inner urgency to fill what is lacking.  To fill what is lacking is correct. The correct way of filling our lacks are the lessons for Sophia. The conditioned Sophia seeks to fill that lack by trying to possess the value she lacks externally in this world. Her way of trying to possess becomes 'to have' and 'to have' turns into 'having' by 'destroying'. To the conditioned Sophia to destroy something is a way of having. 'If we can destroy something we have it, we have power over it, it became ours to destroy'. What is more the truth is that we can barely possess ourselves. When it comes to possession what we can only get the closest to possessing is ourselves, yet we can't destroy ourselves. Our own body yes, we can destroy but we can never destroy the roots of ourselves which would be our inner Being. Impossible to destroy the Being. Sometimes conditioned Sophia to have h...

We see many people in dire need, almost as if they are going to come to grief, yet we see them several months later still alive doing ok. They had nothing to eat and nowhere to stay yet they managed. Somehow. It seems that mother nature looks after us and provides so to keep us alive. That is one of her jobs it seems, to keep all of her creatures alive.  This at least makes sense when we look at the mother archetype how the role of the mother is to provide nourishment to her children. It is good to make this conscious, because even though deep down we all know this, we seem not to trust it and therefore don't allow that trust to work within us, relaxing us and freeing up our attention to look to other areas of life. Spirituality being one of them.  End (6049).

There is room for improvement in us yet when we only come to adopt the outlook and philosophy of the work when there is some kind of failure in life and we can't solve or repair it.  We should really be living through the outlook and philosophy of the work ideally all the time but at least much more frequently then when failure in life comes along. That is if we are wanting to integrate the work more and more within us. End (6048).

That's the pinnacle of dying consciously - to know when and how. That information can come unexpectedly to our consciousness when that issue been established, or it can come as a result of persistent asking based on just motivations. We can meditate deeply and ask... For as long as it takes. Our Divine Mother is the best as Master Samael teaches, it is the mother that authorises our death, and death is an aspect of Her as She knows when the life in the cells She created will expire and move onwards being 'breathed-in' into the internal worlds to be later breathed-out into the physical once again.  We may also know when we are in the process of dying as we will naturally be liberating ourselves, loosening up, forgiving, surpassing, forgetting, giving away in our psychic nature. We can also ask the angels of Death (angels of Saturn) and 'Death' Herself.  Atman as the 'man who works' within us, knows best too when His work will have a pause. As soon as we know ...

Someone asked a while ago now how does the the way we relate to our sexual energy affect our level of abundance. Here below is an answer sone else left in the comment section of the post: "While I'll defer to the author of this blog to answer, I've learned some of the ways how the outer matches the inner. Sexual energy is intelligent, conscious, innocent life force that feeds the Earth. It's donated to all living things. Love is involved. Those of the path learn to transmute it through the given effectual practices. If we take it for ourselves through "lust", "gluttony", and other self-directed indulgence, cosmic balance actually takes it from us to feed the Earth anyway through anguish, frustration, and thwarting of our aims. One can easily apply cause and effect through observation towards gnosis of this. It's an economy of energy we participate in one way or the other to sustain the universe. All of us have come up to this present moment thro...

To our heart is connected the spiritual energy of our cosmic ray. It is this spiritual energy of the ray that gives any person the special potential, power, aptitude and talent in the area of their cosmic ray. It is an energy that fuses with the power of will within the person's own nature of Being, making it a strong natural driving force and talent within the person.  Spiritual energy is the energy of the spirit of a thing. The energy which is present in the spirit of something. When we perceive the spirit of an activity we are experiencing in many ways the spiritual energy of the event.  For example, the spirit of the third factor is love. With love we can do the third factor. With love the third factor is sustained the teachings made useful to students. If we are to ever capture the spiritual energy of something and work with that, we will have an energy that is so powerful that it overrides the lack of energy in the other spheres, such as a lack of motor energy. It is suc...

We think in the exodus we will show our capacity or our capacity will appear to prove our quality. We hope so... Why not show it right now! Then at least we know and we can see merit unfold. End (6045).

If we look into pride we will find that injustice is at heart of it. Injustice lurks at every corner, sometimes very obviously and sometimes very inconspicuously.  Master Samael taught this. A proud person will be sooner or later characterised as an unfair person. A balanced and fair person is one that is liked by all. The typical pride is when we give advice that we do not fulfill. That is pride and behind is the typical injustice of pride.  Why? Because there is unfairness in ourselves, we are asking another to do want we don't do or can but decide not to?  There is a huge gap to strongly suggest to another to do something that we don't want to do or choose to not do. Justice is coherence and to advise what we do creates no gap. Though to advise what we don't do creates an unfair gap.  We are just when we ask someone to do something that we do, have done and can do.  The tough thing about justice is that we can get along with it for a while but then balance wo...

One of the most important things to know in life is when we are going to die. Why? Because until then we think we have time. We resist wanting to know when we are going to die, because we like to think that we have time yet, because we know that as soon as we know - then we won't have time. Our life loses that dream-like romantic feeling.  To not have time is stressful and scary, and implies great responsibility.  Being asleep we know that we evade responsibility and we can't be blamed, becasue we simply don't 'know. To know when means to accept what is realistic about where we can reach, instead of romantic wishful thinking. Accepting the when changes everything. The coals of the fire in our belly can receive extra heat to burn brighter for the long final battle of this life. When we know when, we have the responsibility on our shoulders of having to do something serious or not. To decide to do something serious or not, is a weighty decision, one not to be taken lightl...

In esotericism extraction orders are a good sign. It generally means to be taken out of some circumstances and placed in another. Extraction seems to be mostly from something inferior to something superior. It could be from a lower level of being to a higher level of being or from one set of karmic circumstances to a lighter set. In any case it is a good sign, that may come to us in a dream or as a revelation to our consciousness.  End (6041).

The higher parts of ourselves, which we typically call our Inner Being is present in a different world to us here in the physical.  In that world there are very different priorities. In the upper world of the higher parts of our Being, one priority is the Divine Fire.  Those parts of the Being want and it seems need to have that fire active in the lower dimensions of the Being (starting with the physical) so that they can work with it and use that work to further dress and complete themselves. In many way it seems, it is so that they can bring their presence further down into creation - right into the physical. That is not the only reason that the Higher Parts for the Being need the fire. They need it as a power, a resource, and as something that they have lost. IT seems as though much of their inner development is stalled without it. The parts of the Being have their energy just as we have our energy here in the physical yet they are missing something extra which is not reall...
