Rushing is a Very Negative State - (5922)
Using Transparency to Die in Ourselves - (5866)
Introduction
Master Samael spoke to us about knowing how to die, how to suffer and I think about how to be silent.
To know how to die can mean to know the many ways that we can die, and when to apply those ways.
A really good way to die is to do practices that displace the whole 'myself'. Meaning to put aside the whole personal identity of myself.
A good way to do this is to be awareness, which is to embrace the following qualities: transparent, formless, invisible knowing.
This post lists some of the ways that we can die in ourselves by embracing some the qualities of awareness, namely transparency.
If we know some of these ways we can apply them in the many different parts of our day and life.
Here is the list and some of the events in which they can be applied.
The key of this post is that for each of these situations there are particular attributes of the consciousness for us to embrace, and by being those attributes, we help ourselves to die with precision and to a very deep level within those events.
List
Listening
Listening with full attention brings much opportunity to die in ego-centric based distraction, and be only awareness with no personal interests.
Focus on awareness, be formless, transparent and invisible. Seeing all that comes into awareness and acting as appropriate.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Paying Attention
When consciously paying attention there is much that we can die in.
Be like a still clear lake.
Essentially our attachment to ourselves and selfishness, which resists us giving over our full attention to the moment.
Focus on awareness, be formless in identity and be present. Seeing all that comes into awareness and acting as appropriate.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Speaking
When speaking consciously we can observe much of our vested interests, much of our ill-will, much of our subjectivity (biases), much of our memory and much of the mechanical nature of our psyche.
Be like a crystal knife cutting and shaping our words as they are being formulated. The knife of the consciousness.
Focus on alert awareness using it to see the consequences of what we are going to say and using it to correct to the process of forming our speech by formulating speech that adheres to reality.
Taking note of the ill-will, vested interests, applying on the spot letting go and taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Difficult Situations
Difficult situations as Master Samael said give us the best chance to die. That is totally true but we always have a tough time accepting that in the moment.
Be like a river. The consciousness is like a clear river that flows ever onwards taking us to continuously through learning experiences and to experiences of new states of consciousness.
Focus on awareness, allowing ourselves to be like a river that flows, and flow with what we have to accept and do. Be consciousness repeatedly, helping ourselves to separate from the storm inside our centres.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, repeatedly applying on the spot comprehension, and if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Walking
To walk like glass. Being only awareness, not attaching to anything and not giving attention to anything but that which is awareness.
Focus on awareness, be formless, transparent and invisible. Seeing all that comes into awareness and acting as appropriate.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Social Events
There is so much that we avoid and get identified with in social events,
Focus on awareness, be formless, transparent and invisible. Seeing all that comes into awareness and acting as appropriate.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Shopping
Be like a spotlight where we are focused on finding what we are there to buy, and where the impressions of all the interesting things in the shop do not enter our mind.
Focus on a focused awareness, a line of light that illuminates essentially what we need.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension of need vs wanting as well as what is behind the sensation of having. If required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Praying
Be a fire, a source that radiates warmth which is life and light which is consciousness.
Focus on the heart as a source of light and love for the higher part of ourselves and others. Be the consciousness so that we can perceive all that comes into our awareness and not get distracted from continuing to direct our light and love inwards and upwards.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Remembering the Past
Be like air, something that is everywhere and something that does not get stuck. That sees yet does not become and does not get stuck.
Focus on awareness, be formless, transparent and invisible. Seeing all that comes into awareness and reacting.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Physical Job
Be focused awareness and caring for things done right.
Seeing all that comes into awareness and acting as appropriate.
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Gnostic Class
Driving
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.
Eating
Be transparent transforming awareness. Extracting the best substances from the food we are eating and moving our awareness all through the body from the stomach to take the most advantage of the food being eaten.
Seeing all that comes into awareness and acting as appropriate (eat less maybe).
Taking note of what appears psychologically, applying on the spot comprehension, if required taking this for further comprehension later on and presenting it to the Divine Mother for dissolution.

Understanding It is Not Right is Enough to Start - (5921)
Just understanding that our reactions are not right is enough for us to die.
I think we all have inroads into how our reactions work or don't work out for ourselves.
If we focus on elimination that's all we need to start. Don't wait for more to start.

Later We Reverse the Order - (5920)
Die first in all that we can and then go back to knowledge and comprehension to deepen death
The order has to be placed such that death is a priority and use all else to help the process of elimination along.
Often we follow the opposite order, and things can take so long and if things take a long time there is always the danger of stalling.
It's in the beginning when we are starting that the order of knowledge, comprehension and elimination is helpful but later this order has to be reversed.
If we focus on getting past those feelings and eliminating them, we will find this to be helpful.

Loaned and Returned to Mother Earth - (5919)
Something that we could lose in nature was something that we were only ever loaning from Mother Earth.
Mother Earth gives us the raw materials and we give those materials a form. We enjoy those materials for a while then as it was only ever a loan we must return them to Mother Earth.
Nature works that way with retribution. Mother Nature gives and later takes back. We are given a body and later it is taken back to return to the Earth from where it came.
When we lose something to nature it is wonderful to say thankyou Mother Earth for loaning that object to us and may you take it back into your Earthly body. Then our part is to feel joy that Mother Earth has back what she loaned us.
This attitude transmutes the feelings of loss or anger at having lost the object.
It has been returned to the rightful owner. It has found its way home.

Boomerang of Psychic Attack - (5916)
There is a principle in the world of psychic energies that when someone attacks knowingly or unknowingly a person who is stronger energetically, the energy of the attack bounces back clashing against the one who issued the attack.
That is why so often people who become negative and attack their spiritual master with gossip, judgement, slander and criticism in the end, become so negative that they wind up being very disappointed and upset and leave their spiritual studies.
This happens everywhere and all the time. It's good to know that just even scientifically energetically, that this is what is going to happen to us if we send negative waves to anyone who is more advanced than us. The negativity we issue will rebound and we will end up more negative.

Control Inner States Control Life - (5915)
If there be a method to change our inner states, with that method we will control our life.
It is always the wrong inner states that spin the events of our life out of balance.
If we can change our inner states to the right ones we will benefit from the better side of the events.
In the end if we can control our inner states we will be able to control our life.
There are methods and methods. Conscious breathing is the first method that we use to influence our inner world.
It is the first method because it begins from the outside.
Conscious breathing can definitely change our inner states which gives us access to our inner world which then helps us to approach the outer world from the centre of the inner world, and that is where we can control ourselves from within the events of our life.

What's the Cat Doing? - (5914)
Being a cat!
When we ask what's so and so doing? We get the reply: 'being a pain, being a jerk, being silly, being lazy" etc.
The best complement is being him or herself.
Cats when we observe them can teach us something about being. They are really being themselves a cat.
Not trying to be anything else, and not doing anything that a cat doesn't do.
We are so different we be and do all these things that we are not.
In fact, esoterically speaking we are not really humans and much more often than not, do things that are not really fully human, in the spiritual sense that is.
Our maximum job for this life is to be what we are, be a human and that implies tremendous transformations and knowledge of our true nature.
What stops us the most from being, is the feeling that we have to be and do more. Look at the cat, it does not have that problem at all!

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.

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.
