Gnostic Esoteric Study & Work Aids

People usually when asleep express the opposite of their ingenious cosmic ray. This is because when asleep we polarise to the opposite, because duality is the main conditioning that cause our consciousness to sleep. When we are asleep observe our own lives and look for the main character issue and then see the opposite and you will find out something interesting about your own cosmic ray. The best thing to learn the qualities of the a certain ray is to be around a person who belongs to that tray. Depending on their level of consciousness, we will have to learn about the qualities of their ray either in the light or in the opposite. That is what the qualities are or what the qualities are not. The qualities will be visible in the small details and also more importantly globally in their life. A person influences others the most with the ray and affects others negatively the most with the qualities of their ray. End (5947).

What is worse to bring to bring only something for yourself to eat and drink at a gathering or to bring nothing and eat and drink what others have brought? Both are not quite right. Though one is worse in relativity than the other. The one that brings food and drink only for himself is the worse one. Because it is a conscious and deliberate decision and action to not participate in sharing, caring or helping others. It is sometimes means to not participate with others during meal times. The other one who brings nothing at least connects to others, creates a debt to later cancel with others. While the other one does not create any link or debt to cancel later on. Even in such cases there is more room for it to not be so deliberate. These people are more open to do the correct thing. While the other one is closed and isolating. The interesting observation that can be made over the time is that people who are selfish and only ever bring for themselves don't persist for too long in the...

We can have the wrong idea about strength. We think it is always something that it is not. We try to be strong but it seems to make us feel weaker. Why because we have the wrong idea of what strength is. From the esoteric point of view to be strong is to be integral, aligned, and in all essence it is to be what we are, that is to be our Being, which in common terms means to be ourselves at the deepest level of authenticity. We think we have to be strong to be successful at whatever it is we need to make work.  We can make something work and be strong by knowing what we our strengths are and who we are.  When we know and accept those two areas of ourselves, who we are and what our strengths are the thing to do is to use those strengths to do what it is that we need to do to make it work. We just need to adapt our strengths to getting things done from a different angle. There is always an angle a way in which we can make our strengths work in the given situation to benefit our n...

The sexual energy has magnetic properties. It is worth clarifying and saying that these magnetic properties are universal in nature, and function within a very vast scope, reaching far outside of ourselves. As we know, magnetism is the power to attract. Universal magnetism attracts all things. It is a principle that works to bring 'like' to closer 'like', and it also keeps the two polarities (opposites) relating to each other. For example, love attracts love, force brings force, wealth attracts wealth and so on and so on. The knowledge that keeps the two polarities relating well to each other is the in-depth knowledge of magnetism. Back to the sexual energy, it has a great magnetic power. Meaning if we work with the sexual energy, causing it to circulate through our system we will be able to be make use of its magnetism. Just imagine a child forming in its mother's womb. All the energies and substances have to be brought together to create the child. Just imagine, t...

For our internal qualities to develop we need the external supports to fall through. We actually do learn and develop many qualities (to some degree) having external supports. Having external supports until the appointed time is all ok. The appointed time is set by our flow of life.  Our Inner Being is the one emanates our flow of life. The events and their sequence comes from inside of us. Holding onto external supports beyond the appointed time becomes a hinderance and delays our progress.  When external supports fall it is always the time to first of all recognise this, then look to give ourselves the same value that the external supports gives but this time to give it to ourselves from inside.  The final step is to develop the giving to ourselves in all its aspects. Make it strong and vibrant and give it to others. When we give to others, it is most important to show them how to give it to themselves. If not, we don't complete the karmic learning cycle. We become an e...

More and more it is this way these days that people are not really ready to take responsibility for the things that are wrong in their life, even the things that are wrong with their health. It is a huge block for the inner work. But what can we do about it? Not much with others but we can see it in ourselves. When we see it in ourselves it is just as hard sometimes to take responsibility.  What we can do to help ourselves take responsibility?  The only first thing to do is to accept that we find it hard to take responsibility. If we can do that we have made a huge start that leads us to a path to be able to take responsibility.  End (5942).

In the absence of love, force always appears. Why not other qualities? That is a good question. The observation is that it is usually force that comes to do the job love would normally do. When we want to help a person and usually the love we have comes to show us how. If love is slow to appear, force will appear to help instead.   Using force we make a mess unless love comes quickly to the rescue. Often love comes along late after we have made a mess. Then if pride is not too big, usually feeling sorry at making a mess brings love, and we work things out with love and force.  The truth is that force and love must work hand in hand to help a person. Not love alone and not force alone. Together! Combining love and force together guided by truth gives rise to another virtue called wisdom. End (5941).

Our karma tricks us! It has to. We don't really want to pay it. Our subconscious knows that we have karma and we know that paying it won't be pleasant. So our subconscious naturally does all that it can to keep us far away from the people and scenarios that would make us encounter our past debts. To overcome the avoiding power of our subconscious our own karma tricks us by enticing another part of our subconscious that is just as powerful. That is why so often we feel divided. We feel so drawn but at the same time so very wary. As soon as our own karma begins to trick us using another powerful subconscious element, the will that is conditioned in us is available to be compromised by our karma, and that will works driving us closer and closer to the people and circumstances to get involved and stay involved until we encounter our karmic debts.  This can also work for our dharmic payouts as well. But there is less trickery involved. A very different force other than our condition...

Sometimes there are no human guarantees, like a physical humanly signed contract to assure income for a mission or to simply to live our life. There are only psychological and esoteric guarantees. We can't let ourselves forget that the esoteric and psychological rule the physical. The psychological guarantees are faith in that hard work, resourcefulness, tenacity and perseverance will be the cause for bring what we need. The esoteric guarantee is that if we are just and fair, the Divine Law will support us, and if we work in the name of the Being, the Divine Being through Divine Providence will provide for us. In the end that is what we have to live by, psychological and esoteric provision and guarantees. The strange thing about this is that the most flimsy guarantees are the human ones but we depend on them the most. The real solid guarantees are the psychological and esoteric and we don't trust them. A shift has to take place within us at some point... End (5939).

Our energy field is also sometimes called our information field. Meaning if we can read it we can know certain things about the qualities of the being emitting that field. Everyone of us of course has our own energy field. This energy field can't lie. As it radiates what we are and the results of what we are thinking, feeling and are doing or have done. Our mind can create lies but our energy field does not. Our physical senses are not able to perceive the energy fields but our other senses can. If we can learn to read to some degree or detail our energy field we can know a fair bit about ourselves that our own mind can not distort. If we can read our energy field we can also be able to read others. Therefore detect some of their truth of others and the events that unfold before us or are about to unfold. For example when something is true it has an energy field if something is not true it does not have an energy field. This is an easier way to know true or false. Just perceiving t...

Introduction I always wondered about why all of us can't be heroes. I use to think that the heroes are the ones who complete marvellous feats risking their lives while demonstrating superhuman abilities.  But it seems that this is not the only way and that this is really a small part of what a hero is. The majority of heroes go unseen and their actions are invisible.  Instead of there being only a few heroes we are all really called to be heroes, and we can all be heroes in the sense that we are called to be, which is to be a hero in our own microcosmos! It is often the difficult times that tend to bring that out the hero in people. A hero always appears in times of need and when we are internally poor and the land of the Being within us is overrun by the unjust and the disorderly (karma and "I's"), a hero is needed and the call is made.  By the Law of Emanation everyone emanates a real and authentic life outward from the heart of the Absolute. This happens for absolu...

The really interesting thing is that balance is not the full truth. It is more the truth, it is stable in the truth and based in the truth, yet it is the wise combination of the two opposites which are truth and falsehood. In a balanced reply there is truth yet there is not the full truth, there is an element of omission or flexibility. A balanced response is the response required for the situation at hand, discerned by the alert consciousness. Balance comes into a rendition of the facts by not revealing the detail of every second. Yet what is revealed is fully true. More lies that truth can never create balance or stability in nearly all situations, yet in some extreme situations the lie stabilises by keeping us alive. The same applies to love... End (5937).

Dark psychology as used popularly can be understood as the psychology of the subconscious. Justifications exemplify the psychology of the subconscious really well. The general modus operandi of the subconscious is the iceberg model. Where an acceptable visible layer is present while underneath there is the unacceptable reality. The visible layer looks fair and nice while the invisible is dark and ugly.  The subconscious psychology works to present and while keeping the invisible hidden and undetected. The subconscious psychology uses many tools such as lies, excuses, justifications and anger to prevent the larger and invisible side from being seen. The invisible side holds the real reasons for everything and it is larger in size and stronger than the visible surface. There are some things that are difficult to justify. The default of the ego and subconscious is to try. When the justification is not accepted or is forcibly proven to be based on lies it is common that we get angry. T...

A key to help in our practices is to be serious when doing them and to work diligently during them. Many of our practices go no where because we are not serious about them and we slack off during the practice. The guarantee is if we work seriously and diligently during the practice we give the practice a chance to work for us. We develop with giving seriousness and diligence. Even just giving those qualities will help us to progress, and these qualities are transferrable everywhere in life above and below. "The only 'bad' practice is the one we didn't do." End (5933).

Waiting to be fully prepared, fully studied up, full of love and 'positive vibes' before we get to work on something or start something new, means that we will never start or never work on that project. We will never be fully prepared or fully knowledgeable or feel full perfect good feelings. We will never practice Alchemy if we are waiting to be fully in love and feeling fine with our partner. We may feel not so great but still practice. We practice for our Inner Being above human feeling side of ourselves. We are not perfect Gods and to think that we are that is harmful. This way of thinking in all practicality leads us to stagnation and disappointment Practice means progress. The statement "Practice makes perfect" is something that is well intended but it is not fully real. Because there will always be some kind of flaw and it is too much pressure and un realistic to think and expect ourselves to be perfect. We are the rough instrument - perfection is left to our S...
