Gnostic Wisdom

The Term The term transvaluation is best looked from two perspectives, the general and the particular. General In the general sense the term transvaluation refers to a transference of values from one place, object or cause to another. It is actually a word and can be found in the dictionary. Give it a quick search on Google and you will see. Particular This is a word that Master Samael used to refer to the action of transferring the value we give to the things in life, to the Gnostic Esoteric work. Essentially he was saying to come to value your esoteric work more than life. In other words come to see it as more valuable than the things of life. Hypnotic Grip of Life At first this may seem like something impossible. This is due to the amount of time we have spent giving the things of life such value and importance and also something special which we in Gnosis call the fascination and hypnosis of life. Which one in reality has more value? Life (by life we mea...

Must it? With a little bit of common sense thought mixed with some life experience I think that you would agree with the title of this post. I think that only a very lustful person or a person obsessed with sex will disagree with the statement made in the title. Anyhow this post delves into the subject matter with the intention of making us more conscious of the title’s statement and therefore putting it deeper into our consciousness so that it is not so easily undone by the ego. The Human Machine as a Battlefield Really the human machine is a battlefield. Why because there are so many opposing forces that occupy it. If there was only one force inside the human machine then there would be unity and therefore conflict of any kind would disappear. There is the force of the essence or the consciousness, then there is the force of the ego and the forces of the various other egos. The ego as we would expect clashes with the essence, and the various other egos clash among...

Introduction I would like to express right from the beginning of this post that the third factor is crucially important, and this is only really known to those who are honestly working in the third factor. Those who are not working in the third factor ignore this. There are many people who study Gnosis but who only work in the first two factors which are: mystical death and transmutation (the three factors as taught by V.M Samael Aun Weor for the revolution of the consciousness are: Death (dissolution of the ego), Birth (transmutation) and sacrifice for humanity (spiritually helping and teaching our fellowmen). Working in the first two factors is tremendous and allows one to greatly advance in their spiritual development, however one could advance much faster and overcome obstacles much easier if they were working in the third factor. Though most importantly working in the third factor is to do what the Saviour (redeemer, Christ, Vishnu, Second Logos, Absolute) of the wor...

Why is the Question An answer to this question is really the reason why there are so few people in this world dedicated to studying a doctrine or a system of knowledge that will really transform them and take them to the self-realization of their very own Being. The Facts The fact that there are so few people in comparison to the rest of the world in Gnosis or in any other order or school that really work for the self-realization of the Being tells us quite clearly either of two things. One, that access to such knowledge is restricted or two, that it is not wanted. From our experience we see that both factors are at work, however the one that predominates the other is that the it is not wanted. It is Not Wanted As we have said earlier is the secret reason why there are so few people today dedicated to the self-realization of the Being or the pursuit of the ethical values of the soul. The other two very powerful reasons are: one - karma and two - the fact that we ar...

Investment Everything in life is some sort of investment. No matter what the investment is we always as human beings invest time, energy, intellectual, emotional and physical effort as well as some kind of resource, where it be knowledge, money, people, or perhaps something magical or esoteric. The esoteric work that we carry out in Gnosis is certainly no different. It is no more than an investment of our time, our consciousness, our love (for the work and the Being), our physical and spiritual energy and some of our physical resources such money (especially if you are a Gnostic missionary). Of course the same principle applies as in life, the more we invest the greater the return. If we invest our life in our esoteric spiritual work towards our Being we can expect one day to win back our the integration with our Being. This act of putting our life at the service of the work towards our Being was called by Master Samael the transvaluation . The Work of the Absolute W...
