People Aren’t Against Us – (443)

Image
Introduction The belief that people are against us is a terribly powerful belief and is the cause behind many negative states such as anger, anxiety, feeling rejected and depression, just to name a few. It is really worth going into it. Are they Really? People may really be against us in a very obvious way, so much so that it can not be denied. They may even say it as well. In that it would be stupid of us to not accept that they are against us. I will deal with this case a little later on, however it is wrong of us to absolutely assume or belief this. Why? Because in their consciousness and when they are their consciousness they do not hate anyone or they are not against anyone. So when people are their real selves they are not against anyone. Only one of their egos is or maybe two or three of their egos are and we can not do much about that. Well we may even deserve it for a while. What About if they Are ...

Opposite of Self-Love is Love for the Being – (442)

Image
Introduction This came as quite an impact to me actually. This is something that I had not heard of before, but in reality just as every defect has its opposite in a virtue, every ego must also have its opposite, and self-love can be no exception. Self-Love Self-Love is all about receiving love from others so that we can feel well about ourselves. It is about making sure we are loved by others and regarded highly in the minds and feelings of others. It is not really about giving love to them or about us loving our Being. Opposite of Self-Love Knowing what self-love is we can imagine or construct the opposite. The opposite in this is case is loving the Being in us and that means that we give more than we receive and that we do not require the love from others to feel well with and within ourselves. We instead love our Being and use the degree to which we love our Being and give to others as the basis for our feelin...

When Lust Looks – (441)

Introduction This is quite an unpleasant post and can really be synthesised in what Master Samael has said, in that “we need to educate the senses”. This post is a little bit about the sense of seeing and how in relation to lust it can be understood and educated. When Lust Looks When lust looks it wants to determine something, for example how thin, how fat, how normal or how unusual, how perfect, how imperfect etc. etc. Basically when lust looks it looks for a reason, and we may not detect this reason but there is certainly one there when we are quick and sharp enough in our self-observation. Comparison When lust looks it does so to determine or see how close what we are looking at resembles the sexy, attractive or good looking type that we have in our minds. In general we look with lust to see or to compare how close reality is to our mental image. Let’s observe to see if lust looks for any other reason. Well in the cases of a very heavy and out of control l...

Intellectual Centre can be a Syphon – (440)

Image
Introduction The intellectual centre can be very useful and helpful and when put to the correct use it can do really marvellous things. However, as duality exists the intellectual centre can also do the opposite for us, and in this post I want to concentrate on how the intellectual centre can be a syphon of our emotional and sexual powers. Just as the picture below shows. The energy from our emotional or sexual centre is syphoned into the intellect and then within the intellectual processes that syphoned energy gets burnt up, with no practical and positive result for us or anyone else. Just to finish this introduction, the intellectual centre is at its best when it’s processes move close to reality. In fact the better they embrace reality the better, that is when the intellectual centre really comes to light, and of course the opposite as well. When the intellectual centre veers far from reality, that is when it goes into...

We Can not Lose Love – (439)

Image
Introduction We can not lose love! This is very good to know and to put firmly into our mind, heart and consciousness. This understanding will help us immensely in life and in our relationships. Why we Can’t Lose Love We can not lose love because love comes from within us. Love belongs to our Being and to our consciousness. So as long as we have the Being and have our consciousness we will feel love. We will always be able to love, and even love those who do not love us. But the truth is that those who not love us actually really love us when they are in their Being or in their consciousness. It is better to give love and when we are giving love we are feeling love, our love or love is present. Self-Love Self-love is the obstacle to understanding this. It believes that love must come to us, and that love can be lost it believes, because it thinks love is only what comes to us. It does not know about us feeling and giving love. It is only concerned with love comin...

Betrayal is Betraying Ourselves First – (438)

Introduction A really awful subject this is. Anyhow, just a quick post to say that really when people betray another to have done that they have had to have betrayed themselves first, and so when a person betrays another they are actually betraying themselves. How it Works When we betray we actually first betray ourselves or a part of ourselves. How is that? Well we always betray someone or something for an inferior value (we don’t think it is inferior at the time but it really is) and so we kill or cut off the superior value inside of us to accept the inferior value. For example a worker betrays his boss for the prospect of extra money earnt by stealing from the boss. Dante to Verify That is why Dante said the traitors in the ninth circle are in ice because they cut themselves off from the warmth the light and the life that they have inside themselves. We betray ourselves first then that leads to the betrayal of others. Conclusion Easy then if we always ...

First Act of Ill-Will Came from the Waters – (437)

Introduction The first act of ill will is to do with the sexual waters. When we separated from the Being we then went against it or Him, and the way we separated from the Being was through the waters. Ill will only exists in separation; it can not exist in unity. Therefore what created separation also therefore created ill will. Downward and Outward The downward and outward is the cause of ill will. So ill will comes from pride and lust because both have much to do with separation. Which is first is very unclear. It could be pride and lust is what executed it. Conclusion or Countermeasures Bless everyone inside you in your mind with your mental word. Think, feel and practice good will and integration with everyone. If we work also with the sexual energy in an integrated way we can come to weaken the ill will of lust. That ill-will of lust is in fornication, when we draw our sexual energy close to us and accept and love it then we are closing that ill-will disconn...

The Ocean – a Place for Solace – (436)

Image
Introduction In this post I want to share a strange observation. At times when I have gone to the beach (Indian Ocean) I have seen people either surfing, swimming, sun tanning and reading, sun tanning and sleeping and some walking or running it seems for exercise. This is all fairly normal. Though there are always a one or two that don’t fit into this norm. That is they are either walking or sitting carrying inside themselves it seems some sort of grief, loneliness or deep contemplation. Observation Well, many times I have gone to the ocean to think out a problem, to seek some emotional relief or solace and to contemplate on the profound vastness. Once I remember walking on the beach and there was a middle aged lady sitting down facing the ocean and crying bitterly, and yelling out at the ocean and the air. Perhaps someone had died or something had gone wrong in her life. It is my observation that the ocean lends it...

Link to the White Lodge – How Marvellous & Powerful

Image
A Surprise It may come as a surprise but it is marvellously true! When we study Gnosis and when we apply Gnosis (Gnosis of Samael Aun Weor) or any spiritually white doctrine we align ourselves with the white forces of life, nature and the Cosmos. Therefore if we go further and make commitments we create a link with the white forces of life, nature and the cosmos. This may seem to be a bit fanciful and seem to not really be true but when the critical moment comes this link holds true and helps us marvellously and powerfully. The Link with the White Lodge Protects, Guides & Illuminates We sometime think that the masters or members of the white lodge are so far away from us and don’t care because we are so riddled with ego. That way of thinking is really wrong, just because we don’t perceive their presence and help, we think that way. We can in certain moments perceive that really they are there with us and protecting us, as if we are their children or their brothers and ...

The Consciousness is Only what it is! - (434)

Image
Introduction The sun or the consciousness expresses itself by virtue of itself. It is natural for it to not be anything else than what it actually is. It can only be what it is, the ego and the mind on the other hand become many things all of which they are not. The ‘I’ and the mind always perform and put on some kind of a performance. Even is the personality is something false, it covers who we really are, which is the consciousness. Even the consciousness is love, and because it is love, we should not fear that we will lode love. We can’t because all the love that we feel comes only from inside us, that is from our own consciousness. Others may love us but that does not have anything to do with us, that is, it is their love coming from their own consciousness. There is not much we can do to modify that. The love we feel comes from inside us and that can not be lost as long as we have consciousness. Conclusion So...

Two Ways of Spreading Light- (433)

Image
Introduction There are no two ways about it, we have to become spreaders of light. Once we have received the light or some light. What we have of light we should really spread, especially before we die. Because when we die we will take all that light with us. We need to spread light so that the chain of passing light from one person to the next can continue. Frankly speaking, we received light because someone gave us the initial spark of light that came from someone else before that. Two Ways There are two ways to spread light. One is by reflecting it and the other is by radiating it. Reflecting We can as the image says be like a mirror that reflects the light. This is done by living out and practicing the light of the teachings for others to see and by giving the light of the teachings without us as a reference point. Directing others to the teachings, advertising the teachings etc. belongs to this...

Boredom is to be Outside of Ourselves - (432)

Image
Introduction Boredom is when we are outside of ourselves and we are lacking something. That is we are not whole, and what’s more we want something that we are not sure about and are not accepting something – our current reality. Key of Boredom The key of boredom is the lack of new sensations. We can get these new sensations by being in the moment and take in the novel and interesting and edifying sensations generated by the consciousness. Sex, drugs, stealing, accumulating, shopping etc. are all problems of that of not being able to get sensations from the consciousness. When we enter the moment we begin to see what is important for us to do. Then once we know what we can do, we must do it. Though involves overcoming some resistance and procrastination. Action is best, boredom is often a state of ignoring our chores and responsibilities and being stuck in the mind. If we act and act while being in the moment our i...

How can we unearth our Past Life Memories? - (431)

Image
Introduction There are really several unearthing past life memory practices that we can do by ourselves. There are of course past regressions etc. though we always prefer practices and techniques which we can do for ourselves. After all it is our memories and past life and we are really the only ones who can remember them. It is just a matter of finding out how we ourselves can do it. All of these practices were given to us by V.M Samael Aun Weor. There some other authors that give practices as well based on their real life experience, and I find that these practices are good as well. In fact they are very similar if not the same as what Master Samael gives us. Practice one – Retrospection This practice as Master Smael says involves us, sitting in meditation being sleepy. Then we begin the practice by going back from this very moment in our life and seeing everything as much as we can remember. We must go all the way back to childhood and early childhood until the mo...

Where are our Past Life Memories? - (430)

Image
Answer Our past live memories are essentially in our subconscious. Three Ways There are basically three ways of seeing our past lives. First One is by entering our subconscious and then capturing with the conscious images, words and scenes from our past lives. Second The second way is by using our clairvoyance or consciousness to capture an image on a mirror. Third The third way is to view the Akashic records or archives of nature. The latter one is not easy and access to the Akashic archives of nature is a serious matter and is only reserved really for the Divinity in us to allow us to glance at these records. First Way Best The first way is probably the best way to work so to remember our past lives. I say this because it is a process or a way of converting the subconscious into light or consciousness. In other words it is making our subconscious consciousness. The practices to d...

Why Do we Have Past Lives - (429)

Image
By Law of Return and Evolution and Involution We have past lives based on the laws of Return and Evolution and Involution (Wheel of Samsara). Because of these very great laws the essence in us must continue to return to this world until the essence or consciousness in us is able to surpass these laws. The law of Return essentially works for the Law of Evolution and Involution or the Wheel of Samsara or the Law of the Transmigration of Souls. We have had lives with different bodies before and most likely we will have new bodies with a new life. Well, time and space maybe new, though we will be the same. Conclusion In conclusion then, it is by cosmic law that we have had past lives and will have future lives. End (429).

Purpose of Past life Study - (428)

Image
Our Origins It is to study the origin of ourselves in creation. It leads to the origin of our thoughts, emotions and actions. It also reveals to us the reasons why we like, dislike, have bad or good fortune, have the body we have, live in the country we are in, have the parents we have and most importantly of all why we are here again living in Samsara, that is stepping through the great wheel of life from one human body to the next. Continuity It is also to give continuity to our whole life, because in reality we have one life with many existences. End (428).

Posts on Past Lives - (427)

Image
The Study of Past Lives is quite important for self-knowledge, especially in the psychological and esoteric fields of ourselves. The study of past lives makes sense because of the axiom or truth that we are the way we are because of the past. In many ways the past, is not completely gone, because the past lives in us here and now. The past expresses itself in us constantly in the present. The mining grounds of psychological self-knowledge are within the functioning of the centres of the human machine and within our past. Therefore the study of the past is very important. Mind you, if we study ourselves now, in this moment we are also studying our past, however a dedicated study of the past shows us the origin of the way we are now. When we observe ourselves now, we see how we are but we do not see the origin. Only by studying the past and our past lives di we see the origin of things within us. The next few ...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Image
Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...

For Transmutation Everything Must be Internalised - (425)

Image
Introduction Transmutation is converting the raw mercury or ens seminis or material prima or raw sexual energy into energy and then making that energy to flow in and up. It is an real internalisation of our sexual energy. However read on to see how we make this happen. Making it Happen For this to happen in the best possible way, that is for our sexual energy to be internalised (which can only happen through transmutation) we must internalise all of our forces as well. That is our imagination must be internal, our will must be directed inwardly, our thoughts must be concentrated inwardly and our emotion or enthusiasm must be directed within ourselves and must not be about anything outside of ourselves. We can not be overwhelmed by anything outside of ourselves, our attention can not go outside of ourselves. Conclusion If we achieve the internalisation of at least of our imagination (that is imagining the e...

To Believe we Need Sex is Trouble! - (424)

Introduction To have in our psychology the belief that we need sex, we may think is ok but with experience one will find out sooner or later that this belief will lead one to trouble in all the senses. Why Trouble Well the main reason is that such a belief is wrong! Also this being a belief, and one that impresses upon the sexual energy works in us to precipitate desire and that desire bothers one, makes one restless, confused and frustrated. Wrong Why? It is wrong because many people do without it in life. What we do need is to transmute the sexual energy in us. But to have sex is a different thing. That is something really of the mind. Conclusion In the spiritual work, sex as is normally thought of is not what is needed but rather the transmutation and the magical creation in us of the combination of the energy of the two poles brought about the sexual connection. End (424).

Accruing Dharma - (423)

Image
Introduction By Dharma we mean cosmic capital, which is a very special type of cosmic currency that each individual has or lacks. It is the result of action that has led to good results, either, physically, psychologically and spiritually for ourselves or for others. We Use Dharma Just Living I bet you didn’t know this, that by just living we spend or use up a certain amount each day of our cosmic capital. This is no surprise, because in our human life, every day that we are alive we use or consume something of the money that we have. The water and electricity that we use we have to pay for. Even if we didn’t use any water or electricity and ate nothing we still breathed and that costs nature, because nature has to work, even though not so much to produce more oxygen that was consumed by us. How do we Generate Dharma We generate Dharma or cosmic capital by helping others in all the senses and by doing psychologica...
