Gnostic Wisdom

Gift The sexual energy is a gift. We are given the sexual energy. We do not create it. Our body produces it for us automatically. It is the gift we've been given to create. By virtue of who in Divinity are we given this gift of creative energy? Gnosis teaches this is the Third Logos. As the Third Logos is the third force which is the creative force that comes from the combination of the two opposites - the Holy Affirming and Holy Denying. We also know that nothing in life is free. Everything is earnt, worked and paid for, via an exchange. If we are given a gift by nature as nothing is for free we are given freedom to do with it as we please but yet we are accountable for the results of what we do with it. We can not be held fully accountable for what we don't know. However, because the law is there, there is some accountability that we can be held to. Just as in physical life when we break a law that we didn't know existed, we still get a fine. We are given this gift of the...

Introduction Master Samael teaches that each nation has karma. Here are some notes on national karma. Notes Each nation has an identity and therefore is an entity in reality. Considering a nation as an entity - that is a unique unit with certain autonomy that comes from the consciousness of the people that constitute it,  a nation can act on its own merits and therefore acquire it's own karma and dharma.  It's easy to see that some countries are doing so well and some others are simply not. Some countries experience war, draught, famine and general poverty, while others experience the opposite. This is all due to a nation's level of karma and dharma. Why do some countries have more karma or dharma than others?  A nation can act as a unit to advantage or disadvantage its own people as well as other nations and peoples. When a nation benefits its people and helps other nations that nation earns and accumulates dharma. It's obvious, that countries whose inhabitants on aver...

Lust is about realising the yearning to be in union with love. We all have this yearning in our essence and our essence fulfills this yearning. The way of union is always something sexual. There is a part of our essence that loves and wants to be united in love and with love. It is this part of our essence that when it gets trapped or conditioned acts in a way we in society would call 'lustful'. This part of essence that wants to love seeks for ways to be united in love. Of course it will naturally look at sexual union as that is the deepest and most complete way to find union. There are also other kinds of union such as devotion which is a very emotional type of union. An observation that we can make is that when we are single this part of our essence is very active seeking, when we are in relationship and love and happiness is lacking this part becomes active again seeking. When a relationship ends this part again becomes very active. When we are in a relationship and we feel...

Master Samael teaches that the sexual centre is a centre of gravitation and life on many subtle levels essentially revolves around sex. Essentially as much as we may not like to sex, it is the subtle force that moves life. He also teaches that there is a need for us to think sexually... Very confusing right when you hear that for the first time. It's like: "I think I'm in the wrong place.". What he means by sexual thinking is a thinking that sees that is able to see that everything in life has a underlying sexual component and that activities in life unfold via the sexual principles. Where the main sexual principles are to do with the law of polarity and the combination of the polarities via the law of three, which leads to creation. Then creation is organised by the Law of Seven. If we look at business it is all sexual. No wonder why sex and selling are so linked. Here is a personal example, of how this was better understood. Working on business development I was the...

We react or rather can't stop reacting to tough impressions because we are scratched raw and it simply hurts, and reacting is so instinctively automatic. When our 'skin' is a healed and normal can work a lot better on not reacting. Usually when we have had time to transform and assimilate the tough impressions we can handle a sequence of them a lot better. Our 'skin' is our psychological system, that is affected by our energy levels and how agitated our subconscious is. Meditation (especially the inner stillness kind), transmuting, prayer, contemplation and transforming impressions heals our skin.  End (6053).

We can somehow overlook how the sexual energy influences our psyche and our therefore our thinking and feeling.  From the outside and following conventional thinking there is apparently not much connection between the sexual energy and our psyche. However, there is, just as Gnosis has always mentioned. The reason why there is, is because the sexual energy is in our psyche, and our psyche runs using that energy. Afterall just like everything else, our psyche needs energy to function and this energy has to come from somewhere.  The clearer our sexual energy the clearer our psyche and the clearer our psyche the clearer our sexual energy. It is something obvious that energy moving through our psyche has to affect it. Energy moving through a physical object affects it, for example, producing heat and vibration that can alter its shape. The conclusion here is that what is happening with our sexual energy is at the same time affecting what is going on in the deeper levels of our psyc...

When we speak negatively about ourselves we think that we are doing something no-one else does and is therefore a little special. It's not really, virtually everyone does it at some point, with us all thinking the same thing that it is a little special and should be taken with some appreciation.  Knowing that it is not so special takes away the psychological reward of it (being different and a bit special) and this makes us less interested in doing it to start with. End (6061).

Master Samael writes this to us: "complaining against our karma makes it worse". He is very right... It's best to be quiet, take responsibility, give and give to get out of the situation, and don't complain about having to give whatever it is that we have to give, time, attention, energy, money, values: patience, love, kindness, tolerance, understanding etc. Trust in our payments and isolate ourselves from feeding our 'questionable' emotional needs. Bearing in mind these 'needs' maybe be false needs. End (6057).

Don't write a book for money - write it becasue you want to and are inspired by the topic. We can write a book solely for money but it won't be much fun. We'll experience writer's block. If we start a book we have to finish it. There are so many people who have started writing a book... Write it for yourself and for others. Stay in the belief of it being useful. If we lose that belief we will stop writing. Write it for the future as a record and towards a higher good. To have knowledge scribed is precious. Write it as a gift, that way it will be internally rewarding and a work of love. What good is the knowledge and understanding that life and our work has allowed us to learn and not be able to pass it on? End (6058).

It's great to rule out some many ideas, plans, drives and desires based on: 'what we have', 'what we can control' and 'now'. The purpose is to rule out and forget, and focus. This ruling out allows us to organise. Organising creates a plan going ahead. Seeing the plan inspires action. Action inspires purpose and fulfillment. Action brings momentum and momentum ends in goals completed. End (6060).

As we work on intuition and our consciousness we can know that some things are not going to work out, but becasue of the rules, the people, the situation you have to go ahead with it, knowing it won't work. Just if you open your mouth and say something - you are ridiculed, dismissed or chastised. It's frustrating and a waste of time, yet you have to go along with it... The conclusion is that there are some things that we all have to pass through. The quietly the better. It seems very much to be the case of knowing how to keep silent. These scenarios exist. They are for something., That something we have to quietly look for. End (6056).

Our life really unfolds in the area that we focus on If we focus on reality our life will unfold in a more real way. When our life unfolds in a more real way we feel peace. There is understanding and fulfillment. When our life unfolds in an more unreal way there is worry, excessive thinking, frequent lacking and frustration ending up in restlessness and unfulfillment. To live more real we have to focus on reality. Our reality to focus on is: 1.) What we have . 2.) What we can control . 3.) Now rather than yesterday or tomorrow. Very simple, yet makes a large difference. Gets us going forward on solid steps and takes away so many gaps those: 'just if's' that never seem to come down from the mind into reality here. End (6055).

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).
