Gnostic Wisdom

We all tend to do missions to places that we like, that is to places that are nice and somehow match up with the things we like. If we like lakes we'll think of doing a mission where there are beautiful lakes and so on. This is actually perfectly valid. Humanity is everywhere and the poor and the well-to-do are humanity. What counts is that we are able to help humanity around us using the Gnostic spiritual teachings to enhance the knowledge of themselves. Humanity suffers everywhere all over the globe. The suffering is in the same direction or in different, areas. Some areas more physically and some areas more mentally. We don't have to be in touch with a part of humanity that is doing it really tough to progress on our path. To voluntarily do a mission in a country where humanity is really suffering more than in others, can only be sustained by love for humanity. Especially so when there is little that resonates with what we like. It is one of the best opportunities to bring o...

In the very end justice is always served and balance struck. The way to get there is the very interesting thing.  There are really many ways. Some short and violent and some soft and long. The real tact, intelligence and wit is in determining the way to justice. As the wrong way can increase the injustice.  It is really the body of the Divine Law that are in charge of finding the best way given the innumerable factors and plotting a payment course or a course to payment. That is their job and what they are 'paid' to do. This is something that we don't need to get involved in. Our job is to trust in it, not try and take it into our hands. End (6139).

It has been a pattern lately that every time I bank on matter or plan to rely on it, it invariably crumbles. Sometimes partly and sometimes fully. I'm learning to not do that and bank on the spirit. When having done that the issues to do with matter have been solved. Somehow mostly unexpectedly. We have to put in the causes, and once the causes have been like seeds sown, forget about them and let them develop and what we need will be taken care of. This is a help to develop conscious faith and to see that the Being is the first one - the great provider and to put our focus in the right place. End (6137).

IT is good to have goals and it is even better to work towards goals. Where we all trip over on the walk towards our goals is losing connection to them. The problems in not the goal being hard to achieve or that we lack some quality it is that we lose connection to the goal. When we lose connection tot eh goal we forget the goal and when we remember the goal is already feeling weak within ourselves. The trick of goals is to stay connected to them. Which means remembering them all the time. We can actually work on several goals. This is possible by not losing connection to them. When everyone remembers their goals they will want to work towards them. In working  towards the goal there is a work of mystical death or transformation to be done. Usually when we remember our goals we are going to do something about achieving them. The better we remember the better we are connected to it. We also can lose connection to the goal because it may not be what we need to do at this time. Perhap...

Put lots of will into an action for the day that will right the wrongs, pay the debts, bring balance and be a cause to step forward.  Keep the goal at the forefront, be prepared with alertness and follow through with action and let's go ahead. Frequently bring to mind and heart a teaching of wisdom to strengthen the resolve to work the goal. Making it the most important thing for the day crystallizes the actions it into our nature and unfolds a difference. End (6131).

For a while walking the path is about persistent and consistent fighting... Especially when we have a lot of karma. It is a lot like forging a way - making something happen. We have to make a lot happen for our Being to walk... Just as Master Samael said, he had to negotiate everything at every stage of the path. He said that we all, have to fight to walk the path. At the same time it is to be supremely humble and grateful to be allowed to walk path and be admitted to the next stages.  Even to forge a new lifestyle or line of life we need to fight each time at each stage of development to establish it. To start a business is lot about fighting. There comes a point when that fighting stops a new stage begins.  The only thing is to know when really that stage of lesser fighting begins and not enter it prematurely. End (6126).

We won't get anywhere if we don't make a push towards the spirit.  All progress and getting ahead is in the push forward where there is resistance, that is where matter pulls downwards. We may feel joyful to practice and that is wonderful, though the next day we may not feel like it and this push to practice is where the growth and development is all at. There are two scenarios. One where we feel the call from inside to do something, to push forward with our yearnings, and then there is the call of the continuity of purpose. In the first case we must co-operate and answer the call, as soon as practically possible. In the second case we can't drop the ball. We must keep what we have going going.  Doing the above two actions is pushing towards the spirit. These pushes in time will grow into the capacity for super efforts and open up far greater avenues of inner development and knowledge. Conclusion: in our capacity to be always pushing forward into our interior is growth, and...

What resists the light in us? Is it the darkness within? Is it some kind of opposing interest we are not aware of? What is it really? It can't be the darkness within because light enters darkness and transforms it into light. It can't be anything mysterious, it has to be something within us.  What in physical life resists the sun? A roof or an opaque block of some kind right? The same within us, what resists the light is some kind of opaque block. Psychologically speaking, something dark opaque is something we are not aware of and a block psychologically speaking is an attachment, something that we are grasping onto with will or desire. Anything within us that we are not wanting to see or explore will resist the light. We can open ourselves to the light by understanding that light only makes things better. Don't pressure ourselves and just look in the intimacy of our own heart temple before our Inner Divinity. It is important to give ourselves time for the looking within to...

The egoic self-love is a starting imbalance within us. We start unbalanced before we even talk to a person. That is why when we are wronged/insulted we get so hurt. When we hurt and retaliate it is because we were thrown off balance, and the retaliation is coming to 'unbalanced balance'. Being already imbalanced - that is already almost falling over, and we receive a small push, we fall over hitting the floor. What that translates to is a huge upset reaction, lasting days and turning into a long resentment. When our egoic self-love is big we are very imbalanced. To be imbalanced in relation to the egoic self-love is to be loving too much ourselves in the wrong way. Master Samael says the more we love ourselves the less we love others. The more unbalanced we are the more difficult it is to love others. To be balanced means to be close to reality. Then what is the reality of ourselves? With self-love we see ourselves skew-whiff, too sentimentally. Too little, too cute, too soft a...

Give and you will receive is the law. It never fails! We need to know how to give. The way to give is to give without expecting anything back from who you give to. Meanwhile someone over there is touched by what you have given and gives you something... The gift comes as a miracle out of nowhere. This is how the Law of reciprocity works. Remember give without expecting to receive from who you give to and as a higher octave give without expecting anything. End (6130).

Conflict draws everything out, and makes everything slower, long and complicated, which is perfect to keep the wheels turning... Conflict requires money, and keeps people and minds very busy. Conflict draws so many areas of life into its vortex. For many it's gives a meaning to life and in so many ways it is the spice of people's lives. There are conflicts happening at so many levels, even in spirituality.  Conflicts are a strong driver for a multitude of businesses and therefore it supports the economy, without it, the cogs of the machinery of nature just wouldn't turn so well.  The interesting thing is that conflict in the way things are set up in this world, is a necessary evil.  Conflict is needed yet it is carefully watched over, just so that it does not grow too much and become unbalanced and threaten the status quo of everything. There has to be people healthy and upset enough to engage in conflict. The conclusion we can draw from all of this is that when we are en...

Accept my pain is what some egos say. Especially self-compassion.  Accept my wallowing in suffering is what it really wants from others. It definitely doesn't want someone to say that my pain is 'nonsense'. Self-compassion is inverted anger. It above all wants that the pain we feel from failure to be understood, empathised with and accepted as valid.  This is because we are lacking at a given moment to accept that the cause of our present pain is something that is within us. As soon as we do that, that demand on others disappears. What is waiting to be done is for us to accept our own pain and not wanting others to accept our pain when it is not even theirs to have to accept. The definite test for awakening is when we are able to sacrifice our pain. Letting go of our pain is when we are able to walk away from sleeping in fascination and dream with our pain. End (6121).

The Third Logos or the Holy Reconciling force of the cosmos is a gentleman by nature. He is responsible for bringing two opposites together in such a way to create the new. That is why He is the sexual act or the sexual force that attracts the two opposites and produces the new from the coming together of the two opposites. Every gentleman is respectful and wise. What makes a gentleman a gentleman is his manners, politeness, respect, decency and a certain wisdom or discernment as well as discretion to know what is appropriate in the given moment. A brute or rough unrefined man who is stupid can not be a gentleman or even pretend to be one. That is why with the sexual act we are bringing the Holy Spirit into action and if we refine the sexual act and create the new inwardly we are enhancing the gentleman nature of the Holy Spirit. To bring the two opposites together much tact, wisdom, love and timing is needed. Which are all the qualities of the Holy Spirit. End (6125).

We make a leap forward in dissolving anger when we realise that it is of more value to use our force with love and wisdom than using the conditioned force that is anger which is just plain force without reason.  When we look at what the deciding point is we see that it is really all about time. When we use anger or conditioned force we get a solution quickly and when we use force, wisdom and love we actually take longer to get a solution. The solution of force, wisdom and love is a longer lasting solution and does not harm anyone. The thing to see is that using wisdom, love and force saves so much time and energy in the long run. Just analyse this. We don't have to apologize and we don't have to repair anything and we don't have to wait for our image to be redeemed or or for things to return to normal.  So if we have patience and are ok with time - we hold out through the time and we are not defeated by it we can win the fight over anger and dissolve it. End (6124).

Master Samael says that the " superlative consciousness of the Being resides inside the essence ". These words say a lot... These words say that there is an intimate relationship between the two, between beingness and consciousness. It is almost like consciousness is the heart of being and being is encompassing of consciousness.. For their to be consciousness there must be a being of some sort, so they have to both be intimately related.  There can not be a being of any kind without consciousness, without being aware to know that it is a being and having even a basic awareness of how to function within itself and in its environment? There can't be. So the Being can't be without consciousness.  The whole tree of life is the Being and Geburah the spiritual soul or consciousness is below the Logoic triangle, which is really the Being. Yet there can not be a being without consciousness. The tree of life tends to point out that 'to be' sits higher in the unfoldment...
