Gnosis Wisdom

Greed is an ‘I’ Greed is an ego or an ‘I’, just like many of the others, and just like the others it has many ways of manifesting itself. There is the greed of time and there is the greed related to material things such as money, precious metals and stones and objects in general. Greed is curiously one of the 7 capital sins, mentioned by Dante. Definition If we are going to define greed we would say that greed is a desire to have 'the more'. In nearly all of those cases the more is actually more than what we need. Greed is the desire for the excess. The very strange thing with greed is that within greed the desire to have more is seen or presented as a need. The illusion of greed resides in that false need being seen as a real authentic legitimate need. Post Outline What I am going to do here is outline the greed related to both of these facets, that is the greed related to time and the greed related to money and objects. Distinguishing Line We have in...

Introduction Maat was known to the ancient Egyptians as the divine order through which all of creation was established. The main objective of this talk is mention the divine order in creation and describe in some detail the laws or principles that immediately affect us and how we can transcend them. Divine Order There is a we may not realize it an order to creation. There are seven basic orders of creation or 13 dimensions to creation, which is represented by the Kabbalistic tree of life. The law of three creates and the law of seven organizes. The law of seven has in fact as we can see from various studies in esotericism organized creation or formed the order present in creation. Laws These laws: the law of cause and effect (karma), the law of recurrence, the law of the pendulum and the law of entropy are the laws that have the greatest influence upon our lives. There are three eternal things in life: Law, Nirvana and space said Buddha. In accordance with the spiri...

We all tend to think of balance as something along the lines of giving some time to work and an equal amount of time to family for example. We know that if we become out of balance and we start to give less time to our work then our work suffers. Or vice versa if we give too much time to our work then our family relations will start to suffer. There is always a wise balance to be sought out in everything that we do. To find such a balance we need first of all to know the extremes or in other words the duality.   Duality Duality is something that is present in all aspects and events in life. Something may be good or positive but it will always without fail, have a negative side to it. And the same can be said with something apparently negative, it will by law also have a positive side to it. The balance is always that which is in between the two opposites. Balance and Justice If there is balance there is justice. If there is balance there is also truth. We say...

Gnosis is a Greek word meaning ‘knowledge’. However, knowledge of a transcendental nature, that concerns the soul and its destiny. Gnosis as a knowledge is self-knowledge meaning it is a knowledge that can only be realized by oneself and inside oneself. It is not the knowledge that is acquired through conversation or through reading, but rather through direct personal experience. Therefore Gnosis is 100% practical and verifiable. Mind you, not all of the knowledge present in Gnosis is immediately verifiable, but given the right degree of development of the consciousness, it is. In the beginning though, there is much that can be immediately verified so to reveal to the authenticity and transformative power of the knowledge. The aim of Gnosis has always sought to provide humanity with knowledge, keys and techniques for the full development of human and spiritual potential. The signpost of Gnosis has always pointed within, the goal of Gnosis is to direct the human b...

Ancient Egypt Maat in Ancient Egypt was the word for the principles of truth, balance, justice, order, law and morality. It was through these principles that the ancient Kings and pharaohs governed, and in many cases these kings would describe themselves as the ‘Lord of Maat’. Maat was also the divine order that had been established in creation. Much of the way of life of the ancient Egyptians was conducted so to keep in harmony with this order. Maat in the law courts of the time was the spirit in which justice was applied, more so than the physical laws themselves. Maat is an expression of principles and laws and not expression of rules or dogmas that remain rapped in space and time. Isfet - Opposite of Maat The opposite of Maat was Isfet which meant chaos. Many wars that the ancient Egyptians fought were a war to uphold Maat against Isfet which represented the forces of destruction and chaos. Hall of Maat Maat in Egyptian literally means ‘truth’ and the...

Common Perception There is a wrong perception in place amongst the common person in relation to having a second life. The common perception is to see having a secret almost second life is something interesting and adventurous. Movies So many of the heroes in the movies have a second and secret life, and that is one reason why we think having a second life is exciting, mysterious, meaningful and interesting. Though we easily overlook how difficult it is for the heroes to have and maintain this second life, we fail to see the sacrifices that they have to make and we fail to see how they suffer. Anyone can easily see how all of the heroes suffer, just take look and it is not hard to see the suffering of superman, spider man, batman you name it, caused by their second life. They can for example never have the lady they love and all the lying and trouble (hiding, masks, suits etc.) they go to, just to conceal their identity. Even the bad guys in the movies and in life for th...

Inspired by Carlos Castaneda’s – Active Side of Infinity This post is inspired by a section of the book “Active Side of Infinity” by Carlos Castaneda. Before we continue I just want to expand a little upon the term ‘warrior’. It is used by Carlos Castaneda and Don Juan (Carlos’ teacher) to mean the one who is at war against himself and fights all the elements inside of him and outside of him that oppose his spiritual progress. Anyone who is following the Gnostic teachings and is working on him or herself (dissolving the “I’s”) is most definitely a warrior or a spiritual warrior. Images of the Warrior There are certain events in our life and in our life as a spiritual warrior that have really been instrumental in shaping our life by means of certain lessons learnt, by means of certain positive characteristics acquired and by means of certain decisions made that have propelled us along our path in life or in our spiritual path. Images of a warrior are the memories of ...

Introduction – About this Post The Divine Law in most occasions of our lives stands in between ourselves and the activity we want to develop. This is especially true of the path. This post is dedicated to developing this issue a little further. Divine Law By Divine Law we mean the body of intelligent divine beings that administer the cosmic laws of creation, that govern all the creatures (human beings included) of this great creation. The main law being administered by these divine beings is the law of cause and effect or justice or balance (different names for the same thing). In Gnosis thanks to Master Samael Aun Weor we know the Divine Law is administered from the palace of the law or the tribunals of cosmic justice in the internals worlds. We know that the Divine Law consists of 42 judges and one rector or high priest of the law (Anubis). Unfortunately, at the time of writing this post I don’t have the information present to definitely say if this body of 42...

Introduction – Two Life Forces We have two main life forces among the many others within us. They are the life force of the essence and the life force of the sexual energy. The task at hand is to fuse them into one another, because as you will see in this post that they are separated and require our conscious co-operation to fuse them together. Life Force of the Essence We have running through us, the force of life, an intelligent, inexhaustible stream of energy, vitality and consciousness. It is the same force that makes the eyes of any creature to sparkle, the same force that makes a flower to open, that force that fills the oceans with life and makes the winds of the sky skim across the waves of the ocean. We can find that force in our breath and in our consciousness. The force fills us from moment to moment, it is what causes the streams of heat to pour out from the palms of our hands, it is the warmth of life entering our body and radiating outwards. It is really w...
