Lemon - (5910)

To be like a lemon. Sometimes we need to be. But never all the time.

Our essence is not a lemon...

Who do we really know is like a lemon? Not many right and who really wants to be a lemon. So why do we really have to be a lemon. When needed yes but not as a second all the time nature. 

What is it to be a lemon? To make people cringe (like when we bite a lemon) in interactions and not have much to do with us except in small doses.

When we are upset we are all like lemons. That is the unconscious lemon. The best is the conscious lemon that we use selectively when we consciously have to be.

The thing is that it is much better to be a lemon internally in front of our own silly or overexcited unbalanced states.

That is the why we use the lemon to bring unbalance or overexcitement into some kind of order that is better for us to make wise decisions.

To be a lemon before our greedy and lustful states is interesting...

Key to Understanding the Abyss of Lust - (5913)

With the following key you will be able to understand lust, and the how and why of the abyss of lust.

Lust is sexuality without love. The most accurate and synthetic definition I have come across.

Without love there is a void, and if there is a void, something must always fill it. So what comes to fill that void? Force fills that void. 

The reason why force comes to fill that void is becasue of desire. 

When the desire of sexuality can not be fulfilled by what is normal and just - love, force is used to bypass love.

We can see this clearly as lust is always about using some kind of force to skip over love.

Sexual assault shows this clearly. Typically a man can not get by ordinary means a lady to like him and  because of accumulated desire he uses force to seduce or coerce her to like him.

The use of fantasy, is another example. Fantasy forces the brain to entertain something that is not reality and make the sexual energy and organs to obey stimulation that has a false origin.

The use of external means such as Viagra, and all the other things is in the end are all about the use of force to force something that should appear with love but becasue there is no time for love or love has not been created, force is used.

Force used unconsciously is anger and there is the key as to why infra-sexuality begins with the appearance of the use of force in sexuality.

Because of the fact that force comes to fill the void of love, the abyss of lust opens up and we can understand every aspect of infra-sexuality with this key, knowing that all the deviations of sexuality all have to do with the addition of force being used on sexuality.

Test the above statement for yourself and you will see that this simple key unlocks it all - force replaces love.

Spiritual Food in Prana - (5912)

We need nourishment to work all day in the garden. This nourishment supplies the energy for mostly our motor centre to do the work. This nourishment is physical food and drink.

To do spiritual work we need food of a more subtle or spiritual nature. Which we can find in prana. 

We can energise ourselves with the spiritual food of prana from outside of ourselves and from within ourselves.

Prana yama blends the pranic energy from outside with the pranic energy from inside to spiritually nourish ourselves so that we can carry out spiritual work during the day.

To not nourish ourselves with subtle energy is to deprive ourselves of the ability to do spiritual work.

The subtle energy we energise ourselves with, with prana yama makes it easier for us to observe ourselves, know ourselves, separate from our mind and to not get tied down by pessimism and laziness.

Ask the Divine Mother to Use Our Most Developed Sense - (5910)

If we can't see internally very well we shouldn't ask the Divine Mother to show us anything.

Maybe our inner knowing and sense of understanding is better, so then we should ask our Divine Mother to help us to know and understand the answer to our questions.

Value of Hope Keeps Us Alive - (5909)

It's really good to see how these values of hope, faith and love actually keep us alive, and keep us going.

It's these values that we have to use in life to get us through all the challenges.

The value of hope keeps us alive. Because we really don't know if we are going to wake up tomorrow morning, yet we make plans as if we will. 

It is really hope that is behind us making the plans for tomorrow. Because we all hope that we will wake up tomorrow morning.

It's that hope that keeps us going, it is what gives our continuing vision of our life. We do so much today for that continued vision of our life.

Just imagine what happens if we lose hope for our life... Imagine if we didn't have hope to wake up tomorrow. How would that affect us right now? What would we do right now?

End (5909).

Cleansing of the Inner Space - (5908)

Cleaning our inner space regularly is wonderful.

It is worthwhile doing, as it clears the space allowing us clearer vision and space to more easily observe ourselves.

It also gives us more psychological energy.

It orders our inner space and makes what is truly of priority much more apparent t us.

It also feels great.

It is also psychological hygiene that prevents psychological festering of ideas.

The procedure is simple. 

Invoke the Divine Mother and ask her sincerely to clean the inner space with here fire. 

Chant the mantra 'S' seeing, hear and feeling with your imagination your entire inner space filled with cleaning, healing and energising fire. See below:

Your inner space is your psychological space and beyond. Just focusing on our psychological space is plenty good enough.

Destructive Logic of the Abyss - (5907)

The logic of the abyss is the logic of destruction. In other words, the logic of breaking things down so much to become irreparable that a whole new beginning is needed.

This we know, though we may not know that the logic of the abyss has the same goal as the logic of the light. They are very different processes with different results, but in essence the hold the same intention.

Master Samael said that the Divine Mother is with us liberating us in the light and She is also with us liberating us through the abyss.

Either way, the Divine Mother wants our liberation.

It is the way that the logic of abyss does things that the results are very different to that of the light. 

Liberation in the light is with consciousness and liberation through the abyss is without consciousness. After the liberation through the abyss is processed so consciousness has to be developed, because the process was not done voluntarily and consciously.

The goal of the logic of the abyss is liberation. It is to destroy everything so that with nothing left there is liberation. But it is not full liberation, it is a kind of liberation, but not a full one.

We can see this logic working in society at the moment, where the role of the forces of degeneration are there to take things down so as to accelerate the end point. Then with the end point, everything can be started again and built up from zero in a new way.

As nasty as we may see these degenerative forces are all in essence working to bring an end point closer quicker for a good that can only really be appreciated from the greater bigger picture perspective.

We can observe many times within us this logic of the abyss working. Many of the heavy egos have this logic. In self-compassion, it is very clear to see. It takes us on a downward spiral to destroy everything and with nothing left it disappears. Anger, lust, pride, greed, gluttony all tend to do this. 

The price of the logic of the abyss is that it creates karma, some of this karma gets cancelled in the process and sometimes doesn't, and at the end of it, it leaves much work to be done and some karma to be pay. It is incomplete. It is a destruction to start all over again, just like demolishing a house to build a new one, where the demolishing the old house liberates one form all the problems of that old house, but one is  still without a house.

Always Try to be in our Heavens - (5906)

The most important thing is to know always how to be in our heavens. In other words in more and more in higher states of consciousness. Which is possible by always making the effort to lift upwards within ourselves and look towards the light within us.

This is especially important when in difficult situations and we feel that we are sliding downwards.

This has to become our refuge during those times. A refuge that we can trust in time after time.

When we trust in the refuge of staying in the higher states of consciousness within oursleves we will deal with the difficulty in the best possible way and we will be able to weather the storm and wait for things to look up once again after the storm has passed.

There are situations we all do well in, and there are some that we don't. We do well in those situations because our life experience has taught us to stay higher within ourselves and we just need to apply the same learnings to stay up higher within ourselves in these other situations. 

No matter what walk or area of life, they are all storms that we need to weather by staying up higher within ourselves and waiting for it to pass. No matter, finances, relationships, health etc. etc.

Alignment Notes - (5903)

Definition

Here are some notes about the topic of alignment.

Alignment is relative. We are aligned in relation to a goal or purpose.

We can only ever talk about alignment in relation to something. As soon as we have a goal or a purpose we can speak about alignment - not before.

Just to further explain what a misalignment is, let's look at an example. Suppose we have a person whose goal it is to be a politician. What does misalignment with that goal look like? 

The answer to that question depends on the person, but if the person does not like people, is an introvert, does not like public speaking, is scared of crowds, does not like travelling or meetings, is a bad liar, then those dislikes can be considered misalignments with that goal of being a politician.

Alignment is harmony, power, focus, efficiency and our natural values in action. We are all happy when we are aligned. We are clear and we are in movement towards our goal.

When we are not aligned with a goal or purpose we all tend to suffer: confusion, draining of energies, contradictions, indecision, procrastination, uncertainity and unhappiness.

Qualities of the Essence & Aligning the Misalignment

We all carry some kind of misalignment in relation to our goals or purposes. To some degree, subtle or gross we all have misalignments.

Here it is important to know that we should not ever feel 'bad' about being misaligned, as misalignments are natural to our condition and they come to light to teach us a leasson, and to help us be better aligned for greater and deeper happiness.

It is natual that we find them. The more the better, as this is a good sign that our consciousness is working. As we shed light dark spots will natually appear to be seen. If we don't see any dark spots it is because everything is dull from a lack of light or awareness.

A part of the work on ourselves is to smooth out these misalignments in relation to our work.

There is a process of working on misalignments. 

This process starts first of all to know our misalignments. Secondly to search deep inside of each misalignment to see what value or quality of our essence is behind them.

Once we have found the value behind the misalignment we jsut then need to bring that quality into the work adn use it for the enhancement fo the work. As soon as we do that we will find that the desire behind the misalignment disappears. 

We may even see that the reason for the misalingment was for us to use that quality for our work.

The quality of our essence is not ever mislaigned, it is just conditioned to work in a way that produces a misalignment with our goals or purpose.  

As Gnostics we can examine our alignment or degree thereof in relation to the three factors. As it is the three factors that makes a person Gnostic as Master Samael taught.

Esoteric Notes

Alignment is the Law itself. The law in any form represetns a guidline about how to realte in harmony and balance with the nature of things.

Human laws are a guide for us to align oursleves with the nature of society and human life. While cosmic laws are a guide about how to relate to the cosmos in harmony and balance.

The centres functioning mistakenly cause misalignment as well. The work of aligning is always in the end about aligning our centres with our goal.

We shouldn't decide anything when we are in misalignment with our inner Being or our work.

If a Situation is Hard - Try Harder to Bring the Light - (5905)

If a situation is very difficult and there seems to be no way to move or change it for the better, and it is stuck in being heavily problematic, there is one thing to do, which is to make supreme efforts to bring the light, and above all HOLD the light.

It is not too hard to bring the light. The teachings have given us most of it. We always easily and natually know the better thing to be doing.

The real thing that makes all the difference is HOLDING the light.

To hold the light means to hold in place within us the advice from our consciousness.

What comes naturally when we are holding the light is to call upon the light both inside and outside of ourselves to help us.

End (5905).

Invitation of Any Temple - (5904)

Any and every temple no matter what denomination it belongs to and what name it goes by, offers us refuge. 

Each temple invites us to take refuge within.

As soon as we walk in to any temple it like the outside world with all its busyness and concerns falls away.

As we observe and walk into the temple we are invited to replicate the same effect an go within to take refuge within our inner temple.

Our inner temple is just like the outer one. As we enter within we leave the outside noise and enter into our inner silence.

There are even places in nature that are like temples that as soon as we enter we are invited to take refuge within. 

This is how we know we are in a temple of nature. We are drawn within to replicate the effect of the temple which is to invite us to take refuge within.

A special space in the desert looked over by foreboding invisible guardians, a mysterious forest clearing, a mystical cave with deep rumbling echoes, a quiet stretch of beach that sings the songs gathering undines, under the shade and at the feet of grand old tree...    

How lucky we are if we can visit regularly a true temple of nature.

By taking refuge we recuperate, gather strength and wisdom to light our way...

End (5904).

Alignment Practice Idea - (5902)

Search within ourselves to see if there is something within us is not aligned with the work, the path and the Being.

Search for anything, no matter if it is small, large, embarassing or shameful. No one is going to know or needs to know.

Anything that looks like it is not going to help us advance is useful.

If we need inspiration, ask ourselves: "what do we want?".

List our answers and see if they are going to help us to advance in the work, the path or the Being.

Take what we have selected into meditation.

Search for the value we are missing.

Our misalignments show us what we need.

Our desire of wanting something or to be something in common life is showing what we need to be inwardly.

See how to develop that quality in the work on ourselves. How can we be that in our work?

Finally, work in dissolving all that hinders us from being that quality in our work.

How to Love - (5901)

Introduction

This is a question that many people ask at one point in their life. Sometimes we all feel at a loss about how to love.

Here is a simple formula that we can apply to loving anything.

Formula

Step 1

Get to know ourselves in this area. Sit down quietly and explore what it means for us to love that 'thing'. Be specific.

Step 2

Explore once again what it is inside of us that stops us, resists or makes it difficult for us to love that 'thing' as we saw in step 1.

Step 3

Work on dissolving what stops us from loving as we felt in step 1.

Step 4

Love in action and continue purifying word and action.

Parting Comment

Love is the same for all things. We can love all things, this is the way to live, what changes is the way we love each thing. This is at the discretion of our consciousness...

End (5901).

Time Delay Between Acknowledge - Accept - Action - Assimulate - (5900)

This is the general process here of change. 'A' times 4, the four "A's".

First acknowledge there is a change that can be made, then accept the change, take steps to change and change in actions and finally integrate the change into our way of being.

Steps 3 and 4 happen quickly. As soon as the steps to change are being taken the action to change happens and with some subsequent changes the change begins to integrate all fairly naturally and quickly. This is because the foundation for change have previously occurred.

Step 1 can take time and it can not. Many people are able to see quickly with their intellect that a change would make things better for them and others.

Step 2 - accepting, is the one that take sso long. Years we can be talking.

The reason why is that Step 2 requires the consciousness to process, and there are layers and layers of deepening acceptance before real steps to action can be taken.

Our work always come in in working on step 2 and narrowing the time delay in getting to step 2 and working through step 2. Step 3 and 4 happen naturally once step 2 has been worked through.

Conclusion: the key to change is in the conscious ACCEPTANCE of the change.
