Introduction First of all, esotericism considers the Earth itself as a living entity. The Earth in esotericism has a life of its own, it is a living organism all to its own. All Living Creatures have Organs As every living entity or creature has organs or it various parts that allow it to function in life, the Earth must have it organs also, as it is no exception. Every creature or living organism has organs and each organ has its degree of vitality and life. As humanity is a part of the Earth and each person has a life of its own, humanity in esotericism is considered to be an organ of the Earth. The Four Kingdoms are the Earth’s Organs Esoterically speaking the life that dwells on the surface of the Earth and within the Earth are all organs of the Earth. The most important organ that the Earth has is humanity. Every Organ has a Function Every organ of the Earth has a certain function in relation to the Earth. The minerals, the plants, the animals and humanit...

A Series of Posts An idea that I have for the next several posts, well in reality the ones that I can get done which will going by my track record will probably be only a few, is to present a series of posts on a topic I call esoteric planetary science. Which will be basically about, covering some of the major points that are prevalent when examining a planet from the esoteric point of view. Outline of Points Here is a list of the major points that appear when we look into the esoteric side of a planet. We are going to use the Earth as an example. • Humanity as a major organ of a planet, in this case Earth • The Fohat of a planet • Planetary Regent (Melchizadek) • Consciousness of humanity and the planet’s Fohat • Oceans of the planet are its chaos or spermatic waters • Receiving Cosmic Forces, and how plants, animals and human beings transform and transmit them to the planet thus nourishing it. • Planets and their Moons • The soul of a planet related to...

Introduction – Cutting Basics The way a knife for example cuts is by the edge of the knife being so fine and strong that it is able to enter in between the spaces of the smallest parts of the material the knife is going to cut. It is the knife’s ability to get in between these parts and break them away from or disconnect them from the other parts is what makes the knife to cut something. Basically the sharper the knife, the more it can get in between the parts that make up the material. A blunt knife has a large edge that is not fine enough to get in between the links between the smallest parts of the material. That is why we have to apply a lot of force to a blunt knife to get it to cut because with our applied force the blunt knife edge wedges its way in between the spaces of the smallest parts of the material to cut it. Divine Mother is Electronic The Divine Mother is Electronic! She is an electronic force, a force a living conscious power that comes from and lives in...

Introduction I was listening to a program the other day and they made mention about sperm donation. They said that sperm banks will not accept donations older than three days. In other words if a man has been retaining his materia prima, ens seminis, raw sexual enrgy or sperm for more thatn three days sperm banks will reject it, based on the researched facts that sperm cells tend to live no longer than three days. A Gnostic Would Never Donate his Sperm Just while we are on this subject I sincerely think that a Gnostic person would not donate his sperm. Would not even think about it. Life Span So according to these studies the life span of the average sperm cell is 3 days. Once it has lived its three days it dies and I guess its corpse remains in the testicles. As with all things organic that die if they are not specially treated they been to decompose and rot or in other words involute. Involution The enis semenis that is retained but not transmuted accumulat...

Foundation The foundation of thinking psychological is to see ourselves as an essence end think based upon exercising the values of the work, which are also the values of the essence. If we think by virtue of co-operation, conscious love, peace, balance etc. we are thinking psychologically. Thinking Esoterically To think esoterically is another point here as well. This means to think based upon the esoteric teachings. To think esoterically we have to know well first of all the esoteric teachings. For example, knowing the teachings about life and death will make us to think differently about our activities and our priorities in life. When we think psychologically and esoterically we change our values and we perform a transvaluation. It is worth spending some time here talking about cooperation. Which is to give something to a common cause that transcends ourselves. Co-Operation Co-operation' is against pride and selfishness. We need always to co-...

Introduction The answer to this question is simple. One significant point is not to imitate anyone else. There are also two other very important points, and they are: need and structure. Need We should work on ourselves according to our inner urgencies and personal needs. Everyone in their work need different things. We should therefore work to fulfil those needs. Structure We all have a different esoteric structure, that is different level of the path, different body being, different amount of energy, different aptitudes and talents and we really should work in accordance with those (structures that we have and not in accordance with the structure of others). For example, a beginner can not work on himself as an a master would. Conclusion These two points: needs and stature are wonderful guidelines for us to follow when working on ourselves. If we follow these two guidelines we won't get it wrong. End (327).

Introduction Master Samael is reported to have said, perhaps it is in one of the transcribed talks in the two volumed tome of transcribed talks titled "El Quinto Evangelo" (The Fifth gospel) that the swastika which symbolizes the great Arcanum was created by the Pygmies (spiritually speaking) as a weapon against the Titans. Titans Much is spoken about the Titans in the Greek myths. The behaviour of the Titans that seems to be mostly aggressive is confusing, especially since they are gods. Master Samael says that the Titans were or are pre-existing cosmic gods. That is, in Gnostic language Gods of or from previous Cosmic Days. The Titans Had Imperfections Indeed as Master Samael said the Titans had some imperfections and residual karmic debts. That is karmic debts from the previous Cosmic Day. Creation was Necessary Because of the imperfections that the Titans had creation was necessary for them to discover the mystery of their imperfections and ...

Introduction There are three great teachers: Life, Nature and the Law. If we want to know if our concepts, thoughts, ideas, actions, feelings and attitudes are correct, we have to, or rather we can screen them against the three great teachers: life, nature and law. I learnt this lesson from a great teacher himself. Life This factor is to observe how the things are in our life. We should have our concepts, thoughts, feelings and actions in aligned with the way things are in or operate in life. Master Samael said that "truth is never far from nature". Nature Observe the laws and principles of nature. We should act and align our concepts in accordance with those laws and principles. Law This teacher is basically the law of Kama, the law of cause and effect. This teacher is also the law of balance. If we act in accordance with balance all good equanimous and magnanimous things will come to us. Pain and difficulties will distance themselves fro...

Introduction There are a few points to consider when discerning whether something is esoterically black or white. This post explains these considerations. Key is the Sexual Energy If there is the loss of the sexual energy then straight away it is black. Method If the above point regarding the sexual energy is not obvious then we must carefully observe the method or way something is done and the result. Procedure If the procedure to do something is unethical and wrong and does not include the Christ or the upright pentagram it's black. Result Also if the result is wrong it’s black or ends up bring negative consequences. Conclusion Use these four criteria to know if something is black or white. It is very good to commit these criteria to memory because sometimes we have to discern things on the spot. End (324).

Introduction We can always trust in the Divine Law and also in what is real. When we work truthfully and sincerely we will get trusted and real results. We can trust our work when we work sincerely, and we can trust love when it is real. For example when we know our love is real we can trust that it will survive many future difficulties, and that puts one at rest. When we know or feel that love is not real we naturally feel insecure and uneasy. Divine Law is Justice We can trust in the Divine Law because it is Justice. It only allows what is just to prevail. Trust completely in that. lf something unjust does happen, it is because there is an invisible prior karmic debt or impediment there to be paid or overcome. There is an invisible karmic debt that must be paid and in such cases the Divine Law is allowing the good to happen which is the cancellation of the debt to restore once again balance. When there is balance there is peace, harmony, justice and happines...

Introduction At the bottom of lust is really the search for a kind of love and acceptance. Something knows in us that to have sex even if it is once, is to be loved and accepted in some way. So the problem here lies, not in the search for love but in the way it is searched for and where. Lust thinks love is where its ideas of what pleases the senses are satisfied and that love is found in the sexual act. In some way that is true but definitely not exclusively true. Lust gets it wrong when it only considers these two places and rules everything out. The Search However this search for love is done by considering the sexual act and making sure the senses and their criteria are pleased. Vision of Lust Lust only thinks of the senses, matter, sensations and the sexual act. It only happens to look through these very limited lenses – it has tunnel vision.  It thinks love is possible when the senses are fulfilled, when the sexual act is complete. That i...

Introduction We can give lust the definition of being a certain kind of sexuality that is polarised in matter, the senses, sensations and the sexual act. Its search is mainly for completion, satisfaction, comfort, excitement, distraction from sadness etc. through these things (matter, senses etc.). If we Observe Lust If we observe lust we will find that it is disconnection. If we observe what is going on in our centres, (intellect, emotion etc.) and in our psychology, when we have the ego of lust in our human machine we will find something like a war inside of us.  Lust actually separates us from sex and our sexual centre. What we get inside of us when we have lust in our human machine is a fight between sex and our brain or between sex and our emotions. When lust is in our human machine we become driven by sex, and we either don’t want to be driven and we feel fear or resistance or nervousness or either we are out to get what the sexual centre in us wants. Bu...

Introduction Definitely not all egos but some are like fires. Lust, anger, self-love etc. are like fires. They even obey the same principles of fire. Burn Intensely but Need Fuel to Burn They burn intensely and if we are intelligent enough to not feed them they slowly burn out by themselves for not having fuel and air to keep burning. The more you feed them, fan them and touch them, agitate them the more intensely they burn. Why Why are some egos like fire? Simple, because the ego as does everything else in creation contains the four elements within its constitution. There are some egos that much more related to fire than other egos. For example laziness is much more related to earth than lust is or pride is. So within the nature of anger and lust is more fire than anything else and most people really know this. Putting out a Fire To put out a fire, you need throw water or earth (sand) on it, or starve it of air or not give it any space to expand...

Introduction The best of keys seem to be the ones that we learn in first chamber. The simplest keys seem to be the best. Or what also happens is that after heaps of complicated analysis, trial and error and deep meditations you end up coming back to you already know, that is the simple keys that you learnt in first chamber, but with something special a lot more understanding. Don’t Feed the Ego One of these very simple keys is to not feed the ego. It is effective for every ego but for lust for example it is so very effective. It is really for a while the main weapon one has to fight lust.  If one does not feed the ego by stopping or simply letting go of the thoughts that appear one can come to displace lust and therefore acquire control over lust and one’s own physiology. Conclusion We often end up coming back to square one and finding the simple keys that we learnt first to be the most effective. One for lust is to not feed desire. That is let the tho...

Searching Sometimes we are working on an ego and we are looking for a magic balm, that is, a certain realisation or the comprehension of some truth that will set us free or at least separate us from that ego or give us the power to separate from that ego. Never Appears Sometimes after hoping and searching we just do not find it. But sometimes for some egos we do find it. The problem is for some other egos we do not find it. What do we do in these cases? Resort to Death In that case when we do not find the magic balm we have to resort to mystical death dealt by the Divine Mother. We have to make mystical death with the help of our Divine Mother, the magic balm. Conclusion Sometimes the magi balm does not come, but channelling all our efforts into prayer to the Divine Mother and mystical death is the magical balm. End (318).

Quick Answer No. Read on to know why. Why? If we look at the common characteristics of a cult we will see why Gnosis is not a cult. Closed Community Cults are commonly closed to the general community, and they usually live as a community somewhere isolated like in the outskirts of the city. Usually cult members do not work outside the community the community is mostly self-sufficient and all members work to fulfil the needs of the community. Gnosis is certainly not like that at all. All Gnostic students live within cities and work with others who are certainly not in Gnosis. Gnostic students at the most attend the Gnostic centre two times per week for two hours each session - hardly a live in effort or commitment. Cults are definitely not international organisations like what Gnosis is. Cults are usually one group or community only. Marry within the Cult Cult members must marry others within the cult. In Gnosis that is not a must and many students are...

Introduction Because of duality to say no to something is really to say yes to the opposite or to something else. No to the Ego is Yes to the Being When we say no to the ego we are not just saying no to everything, in saying no we are saying yes to the Being, to ourselves and to the work and to the Gnostic brothers and sisters in the work. We tend to think a no to the ego is just all there is, one big fat painful no! But really there is always the other side which we do not often see - the yes side which is s big fat yes to the something really nice and beautiful – the Being. Feel Happy! Because a No is a Yes! Next time you have to say to the ego or something or someone see that you are saying yes to the Being or yes to yourself. Which is great. Conclusion I have used this bit of knowledge which comes from the study of duality, that to say no is not so bad and in my difficult decisions that I have had to make remembering that I am also saying yes has h...

Introduction Master Samael wrote very extensively about many different esoteric topics and in his writings he answered many questions that many of us have and he also laid down a practical system for us to be able to arrive through our own experience at the truth of the matter we are interested in knowing about. The Details and the Synthesis Sometimes because he did not have time and because he is the master of the synthesis he could not write down all the details and smaller steps to arrive at the knowledge and experiences that he wrote about. So, in these small gaps sometimes other authors can provide some helpful hints and information or explanations. Perhaps he also had a lot of consciousness and the apprehension of the knowledge was very direct, simple and immediate not requiring many steps which is what we may require at times. Recommendation It is my recommendation that the works of other authors be used in this way, helping one in one’s understand...

Introduction It is said that patience is the mother of all virtue and from the Gnostic point of view it certainly seems to be true. Why Patience is Needed? It seems to apply the virtues of the Being or the values of the Being, patience is needed. The way of the ego is action that can be wrong and rough but it is so to get a result or get what it wants as quickly as possible. Examples For example getting angry one can bring order to a conversation or a situation in the way one wants in a very minute or less, maybe even in a few seconds. However if we apply sweetness and reason instead of the force that anger applies it takes more time to get the result that we want. We may want a spouse, and lust can get it quite quickly but for the purpose of satisfying sensations and desires but a spouse for eh esoteric work is attained not applying lust but applying chastity, faith, prayer, work on oneself etc. and that takes much time. We may want to pay our karm...

Introduction Pride is many things, one thing though for sure that it is, is unconformity. Pride is that feeling of not being happy or satisfied with what is going on in our life, around or inside of us. Pride is that constant disagreement-acceptance and struggle, fight and protest with things. It is that fight that doesn’t like things and situations and can not tolerate them for silly personal reasons. It is that fight to be different that throws a spanner in the works that puts people out and puts a real damper on many situations. That is why many people don’t like that unconformity in Pride just as in the quote below from Ralph Waldo Emmerson. A person’s unconformity is a real bother to others. Whenever we Feel Unconformity Pride is Present As a general rule when we feel some sort of unconformity with what is going on around us, pride is usually there in our human machine. This unconformity produces much resistance in ourselves and friction with others as well. It...
