Introduction In this post we are going to look at some of the characteristics of the lunar force and see if we have them inside of ourselves basically in our psychology. We too can have lunar characteristics in our physical and esoteric dimensions or realities but the place that it is more useful and manifest to look into, is in our psychology. Lunar Characteristics – Observation of the Moon In a series of posts that are to follow, I am going to expand upon lunar characteristics that we have within our psychology, and that which can also be seen very clearly among the characteristics of our Moon and the moons of the other planets. Ideal Way of Discerning Lunar Characteristics The ideal way of discerning lunar characteristics would be to examine directly and clearly for oneself the lunar cosmic forces. Even better would be to directly see them in action. However, being very limited in our capacity of just viewing let alone examining cosmic phenomena we have to fir...

Introduction Master Samael and Gurdjieff all affirm that the origin of the ego resides in having been given the kundabuffer organ. Master Samael also says that the kundabufffer organ was an entirely lunar organ, and when it got removed the result was that the consequences of having the kundabuffer organ left its toll on the psyche of those who had it. The consequences of having a lunar organ was what gave rise to the ego. The Ego is Really Lunar Because the kundabuffer organ was lunar its consequences were derived by a lunar force, so at the very least the ego that we have is much more related to the lunar force than the solar force. We can even dare to say that the ego is something lunar. Study the Lunar Characteristics Studying the characteristics of the lunar force will lead us to a better understanding of the ego. Also studying the characteristics of the solar force will help us to understand the more about the ego because studying the solar characteristics is th...

Introduction Master Samael says something so very interesting with respect to this topic, and it is that the lunar forces are needed for every creation. He says that no creation can take place without the intervention of the lunar forces. Especially if we have the understanding, unfortunately a superficial understanding, that the lunar forces are bad, the above statement from Master Samael will come as a surprise or even a shock. Because of this understanding, we will end up being confused, because we will be thinking that if the lunar forces are bad how could they be used in and even needed for creation. Lunar Forces are Support Gestation and Conception We certainly know that human beings, animals, plants etc. all grow with the help of sunlight but their conception and gestation is a different. The conception and gestation of life is something that occurs in darkness without the presence of the sun. Solar Forces are Against Gestation and Conception Master Samael...

Introduction I would like in a series of posts to address the meaning of the terms Lunar and Solar. These two terms appear very often in one’s studies of esotericism and Gnosis, and in fact looking at these terms from a deeper or more profound perspective we find them at the foundation of any esoteric doctrine. As a Gnostic student without conducting an investigation into the meaning of these two terms, one’s understanding can remain superficial and because of this superficial understanding one easily at times gets confused or blank minded when these terms lunar and solar are mentioned in relation to the ego, humanity, human psychology, human beings, cosmic forces etc. etc. Superficial Understanding We typically think that lunar is related to the moon and solar is related to the sun. In esotericism and especially in Gnosis that is true, but only to a certain extent. Sometimes we can understand the terms lunar and solar when they are mentioned in any esoteric or Gnostic t...

Lust Thinks it has the Right The ego or ‘I’ of lust thinks that it has the right to bother another person from what it is that they are doing and try and lure them into an activity that they definitely don’t need and were not intending on. For example a person of the opposite sex walking down a street to the corner deli to buy the newspaper was not thinking in meeting up specifically with you and being lured into something especially if you don’t know that person. This is reality but the ego of lust lives in a different reality and somehow believes that the person in interested in being lured. The ego of lust is really outside of reality and what’s more it thinks that it has the right to go and impose itself on another human being. Lack of Respect The cause of such a ridiculous way of thinking, feeling and acting is a lack of respect for the other person and being outside of reality due to having come to believes that what is shown on TV and the internet is reality. ...

Retrospection A very important actually a key tool in any evaluation of ourselves is the use of retrospection. The act of honestly looking back over what we have lived. How we acted, how we felt and what we thought during the events and times of our lives. Retrospection can be done over an hour, a minute, a whole day, a week or a month, a year or any time period. It is really the key part of any evaluation. Three Points There are three points or questions that we can run through or ask ourselves at the end of the day, for us to know how our day went and or during the day, for us to know how our day is going and be able to improve it or save it, if it is not going well. Was I Useful to Others? We are all here in life to be useful for others. If we were all the time harmful to others, life and eventually creation would collapse. Life requires that we co-operate and live peacefully together and really it is one reason for us being here and it is also a life purpose. ...

Introduction Master Samael in the book “The Perfect Matrimony” spoke a lot about this. There is a section in this blog post that provides an English translation of Master Samael’s words on infra-sexuality. A Few Words! We can understand infra-sexuality as the sexuality that is primarily concerned with fulfilling the desire for pleasure, sensations (of a psychological type of gratification) and the experience or possession of matter (to do with the body). There are of course degrees of infra-sexuality which start typically with the person being very lustful and licentious and extending towards a person being a very twisted and perverted when it comes to sex. Because of the easy availability of pornography infra-sexuality now is becoming the norm. Through the medium of pornography, infra-sexuality has been promoted, and over time has come to be accepted as a norm. Meaning that the sexuality that is present today is more inferior in value than teh sexuality present a gener...

Introduction Why we sacrifice our sexuality – well we do it for the Being. Finally Understood! Finally we can understand why we should sacrifice our pursuit of pleasure. Pleasure is for our selfish selves and transmutation or supra-sexuality is for the Being. A Clear Sign The Being inside you shows you his will, most likely the Being in you has already shown you his will. His will is the Absolute and the way there is through supra-sexuality. It is a clear sign that when the Being in you impulses and pushes you to sacrifice infra-sexuality and you and He actually do (because He does it through you), you and Him are getting more and more defined for the way of the Being, which is His way, the way of the three factors (death of the ‘I’, birth (transmutation) and sacrifice for humanity) to the Absolute. The Being’s Will It is scary the Being inside of us is going to take up His cross and sacrifice for the Almighty Father, He is going to walk his Path in you, ...

Commitments or Plans Most of the egos or “I’s” that we have, have their plans or commitments. We know some of them and some of them we don’t know. Plans/Commitments of the ‘I’ we Know The plans that we do know are the ones that being identified with the ego or by being a willing accomplice of the desires of the ego we with develop in our mind, using the imagination, the information that we have and the reasoning of the mind. Plans/Commitments of the ‘I’ that we don’t Know There are other plans or commitments that we don’t know about and they are the difficult ones to deal with as they catch us off guard and most of the time we only know about them after we have fallen victim to those plans. This only happens if the ego is very large and relatively unknown or unobserved by us. Master Samael said that the ego has secret commitments and that those commitments are fulfilled under the level of our conscious awareness. The egos to fulfil their commitments use telepathy...

Why do we fantasize? The purpose of fantasy is relatively simple. It is just to make ourselves feel better by projecting a scenario and a series of events (often disjointed) that compensate for: what we lack, our short comings, our mistakes and our unfulfilled desires. Projection of an Artificial Reality Fantasy projects an artificial reality and we by means of wanting to believe in it (because we are self-hypnotised or because our consciousness is asleep) we enter into it, where we think we are something great or good or admirable. General Fantasy of Self So as long as we are projecting and believing in a given fantasy about ourselves we feel great about ourselves and we think that we are really that good, admirable and great. But in reality we are really not that good, great or admirable person. This is what we call actually call in Gnosis the global or general fantasy that we have about ourselves, which in Gnosis we understand that we have to come to dissolve,...
