Gnosis Wisdom

Opening the Heart The real sacrifice of a missionary besides giving up some of his or her time, energy, space and effort, it is that the missionary opens up his/her mind and heart to include the students in his or her life so to help them. A Friend The student becomes a friend and then the missionary suffers when the student suffers. The missionary takes great risks to trust and open him or herself up to include the students in his or her psychological space. Serves the Monad of the Student The missionary works and serves the Being of the students, so the missionary goes beyond the personality and the egos of the student and even beyond his/her own egos as well. Works to Receive Light to Give to Others Also the missionary works on his/her psychology to get the light so to give it to others. That light is only gained with outer and inner sacrifices. End (847).

Introduction Do you know that we can get katancia or katancy, that serious superior or spiritual type of karma being students and missionaries or instructor of Gnosis. How? Very easily. When we mislead souls or deceive the essences of Monads by not giving them the correct teachings or somehow burning them out by leading a very controversial or bad example, we can get this very special type of karma called Katancia or Katancy. Summary When we mislead people in the teachings and lead them astray we get Katancia or Katancy. Katancy or Katancia is a special type of karma that pertains to spiritual matters and is typically for the Being and of course affects the spiritual life of a person. It can also be for the person, but it will only feature in their spiritual life. For example if we misled others spiritually we will face obstacle after obstacle in finding the light we are desperate for. End (846).

Introduction In the case of master Samuel and all the masters, only a portion of what they really know is taught in books and lectures to the public. Passed on by Word of Mouth Only There are things which they know that are for them only, and then there are things which can only be taught by word of mouth or passed on to disciples from the lips of the master to the ears of the disciple. These things are keys which are critical for the understanding of the master's teaching, so critical that without these keys the teaching cannot completely be understood. These teachings are also things that belong to the mysteries, that only those who are ready for them, can receive them. Much Left Out of the Books In the case of master Samuel he wrote so many books and yet that was only a small portion of all that he knew. I heard somewhere that master Samael said that he only wrote 5% of all that he knew. I don't know how correct that was though. I also heard that Master...

Introduction Here is a post about fear, which comes from my marvellous missionary. First Point The first point is that we are scared of the consequence, not the person, the animal, the object, the event etc. But the consequences. Second Point The second point is the following process: Mistake -> Consequences or Karma -> Pain -> Rejection of the Pain -> Fear This is a cycle that goes from mistake to fear and then from fear to more mistakes or fear of what could provoke the mistake. The mind creates patterns of behaviour. The pattern that emerges in particular relation to fear is the acceptance of something and then the rejection of the opposite! This is the conditioning of duality! Where we like black means we dislike white. Fear and Trust Fear is the trust that something wrong will happen to us. Or it is the distrust that something good or right will happen. Fear is the trust or conviction something bad will happen, it is basi...

Introduction This post is a very brief description of what magic is from the Gnostic perspective. Magic Defined Magic is defined as being able to influence the elements or phenomena of Nature with means that are not entirely physical in nature or entirely explainable on physical terms. Magic Exists for Some and doesn’t Exist for Others Magic does not exist really. Magic is a term that is used to describe something that happens physically without our senses and sensual/sensory mind being able to work it out. So for those that know how magical things are done, it is not magic but science, be it an esoteric science the methodology is known. For those though that do not know how magic is done it is magic. Two Types of Magic There are two types of magi master Samael says. Which are the natural and Hermetic magic. That is the magic of the astral and the magic of the mind. Magic is about the Consciousn...

Reasons Why 1.) We get away with it. 2.) We recover relatively quickly from the mistake. 3.) No one knows. 4.) We don't feel remorse. 5.) People still love or like us. 6.) We don't think we are doing wrong, or we think we are not going too bad. 7.) We think that we somehow benefit from it. Summary Basically we could say that even though the consequences are there right in front of us we don’t feel them because our level of consciousness in that area is not very developed. End (842).

Introduction Ancient Greek sages claimed that there are three parts or centres or dimensions to everything. Which are the inferior, the middle and the superior. If we recall a few Gnostic teachings we can see these three aspects featuring quite frequently. For example; each planet Master Samael says has an infra-dimension (hell), a physical dimension and a heaven or superior dimension. Each atom is a triad of matter (lower), energy (middle) and consciousness (upper), and every living creature has an inferior part (body), a middle part (psychology) and a superior part (spirit or Real Being). The latter example is also expressed as: the physical body, the soul/essence/psychology and the spirit, or body, mind and soul/spirit. There is also the physical, the psychological and esoteric reality, which respectively correspond to lower, middle and upper. Interesting Excerpt The following excerpt from Manly P. Hall’s book “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” explains thi...

Introduction If you ask a person that they will say the truth. They will want to know the truth they will feel deceived and tricked if there is the option of knowing the truth and not knowing the truth. However, it may not be so good for them or is it? For Example the Truth that Hell is Real For example if you tell an elderly person that there really is hell and that most likely all human beings who do not change their inner nature to be in tune with heaven are going to go to hell, that truth may well hurt them and ruin their life and cause them to die with much anxiety and panic. So, is it better to tell them the truth or let them be as they are believing that they will go to heaven as asleep and full of ego as they are? A Big Dilemma What would you do? Maybe tell them if there is time for them to do something about it, and that there is a good chance that they will take it well. Otherwise if we really know that it will be harmful don’t tell them. C...

Introduction When we express the ego and we make mistakes we incur karmic debts. Sometimes these debts are paid in the next minute or very quickly after they are incurred. However some are not. The ones that are not go into our book of debts, waiting for us to pay them later down the track. However, these debts that are waiting to be paid later on can be partially paid by us doing something here and now. KRIM and Divine Mother Working on the ego that caused the debt, especially working with sincere yearning in the elimination of it with the Divine Mother can wash away parts of those debts. We can wash the most difficult parts of those debts. Conclusion Working with the mantra KRIM and the Divine Mother begins to tip the scales in our favour in relation to the debts we have stored from one or another ego. End (839).

Introduction The above statement is awful for us, especially for the personality but it makes sense and it has to be true.  How can they Pamper the Personality? If what really counts is the essence and the Monad why would the masters put so much attention to our personality, especially in keeping it so strong and active that it overcomes the essence all of the time? Why would they pamper our personality and leave our essence without the chance to grow and develop? Pampering the personality usually occurs at the expense of the growth of the essence. The Masters don’t pamper the essence either, because pampering is the excess, it is the breaking of balance. But the Masters help the essence which is different by giving it what it needs to develop itself. Why Does Pampering Exist then? It exists because of the good egos of people, and furthermore the personality of people is setup that way to pamper others, and or because in general people are quite weak and pam...

Introduction - We Love Pampering Let’s face it we love pampering ourselves and others. It seems good, though is it really? This post is a deeper look into the subject. We Pamper Ourselves and Others! When we pamper others we do it for a reason and the results in the long term are not good. In the short term they may be good but definitely not in the long term. Why do we pamper others? We pamper others because it benefits our interests. Sometimes when we don’t see this point, we say to the other or think to ourselves: “I pamper you because I love you”. But just wait a second, as soon as they reject our pampering the love we have for them disappears in a flash and the real thing in us comes out - the anger about not getting what we want or not getting that interest pleased. That interest could be many a thing, from: acceptance, approval, love, affection, kindness, care, money, compliance with our laziness and errors etc. etc. It is About an Excess to the Detriment of So...

Attitude Towards Sacrifice Being very honest we don’t like sacrifice most of the time. Mostly because it can hurt or produce some discomfort, especially at the beginning. We can even silently within ourselves protest as to why sacrifices are needed. We may not even be able to find something that we can start to sacrifice, we may think that sacrifice is all about the big things, like moving to a foreign country, and teach Gnosis to foreign people in a foreign language or adopting a very rigorous and demanding regimen of practices etc. We then think sacrifice is not for us. We may tend to avoid sacrifice and we may stay just as we are for a long time not making any sacrifices. It evens feels good to just dream about one day making a sacrifice or to make plans about making sacrifices in the future. This may seem like bliss or pleasure to us and it may feel very comfortable and we may feel happy and content on some level. Though…it has a price and sometimes this prices is sadne...

Introduction The following text comes from a documentary made by a Gnostic institution that provides a really very interesting description of Sivananda’s teachings on Atman and how Master Samael found his own Intimate using the method taught by Sivananda. About Atman and Bragma Murtha “Sivananda used to see the interior life development of a man as a construction of a house. He said that the thoughts were the plans of the architect. But who is the architect? The architect is the conscious will at the service of the Intimate Master. In the Intimate, in Atman, Sivananda saw the key to the path. In order to walk the path to self-realization correctly, we have to seek the Intimate in ourselves. Sivananda said that the right time to seek for the Interior Master is precisely HIS time, which he used to call 'Bragma Murtha', meaning the time of Bragma. It starts exactly 2 hours before dawn and lasts until the Sun comes...

Introduction Each colour of the waters is like a level of being in relation to sexuality and in some way to our overall level of being. It is like a way of thinking and feeling towards sex and sexual energy. It is a way of being, that can express or be known in many different ways, such as expression through the word, attitudes, concepts, actions etc. Whiten the Waters To whiten the waters purification is needed. The black waters being represented by a crow indicate to us that something has to die so that something new can be born. The new that can be born is the white waters. The white waters appear as a good omen or a good sign like the light of day, signalling to us that we are doing well in our efforts to do with the purification of the waters. White Waters Imply Increased Responsibility White waters are a state of increased responsibility. Whitened waters are the result of action based upon the conscious rel...

Etymology Etymology of the word guru : he who dissolves darkness. Text from GURU-DEVA: Here below is a translation of a section of text taken from the Guru-Deva. “Meditate on the form of the guru Venerate the feet of the guru His words are taken like sacred mantras His grace ensures the final liberation” From Buddha “Of all the masters of the past that achieved illumination, none got it without the help of a Guru.” “Of all the masters of the future that will achieve illumination, none will get it without the help of a Guru.” Question Do you have a guru? Maybe yes, maybe I don’t know you may answer? By default all the Gnostic students have Master Samael as their guru. As the Buddha and the Guru-Deva have said we need our guru for our advancement. Are we working with our guru? Maybe we are, though is it enough? Our guru is the one that gives us light in the times when we are in ou...

Introduction The following text comes from a documentary made by a Gnostic institution that provides a really very interesting description of how Master Samael came across the didactic for the dissolution of the “I”. It explains his failures and his final discovery of the Didactic that we now know which was made complete and fully effective with key of the elimination by the Divine Mother. The Documentary Starts by Saying: “Despite the importance of Gurdjeff's teachings, Master Samael hasn't found the concrete didactic for the dissolution of the ‘I’ in Gurdjeff. Like Krishnamurti, Gurdjeff appeals to the creative comprehension of the ‘I’ as a weapon to eliminate it. In practice, however, this method is not valid. Let's listen to what Master Samael has said about this:” Master Samael Explains “We have arrived at a difficult and critical point in the current talk. Gurdjeff, Ouspenski, Nicholl, Colins and many other authors of the fourth way - Gnostic...

Introduction The following text comes from a documentary made by a Gnostic institution that provides a really moving description of how self-remembering is done amongst the members of a Sufi Brotherhood in central Asia. IT is very correct, accurate and mystical way of remembering one’s Being. Dikr Allah or Sufi Self-Remembering “The teachings about self-remembering were found by Gurdjeff in certain Sufi Brotherhoods that exist in remote areas of Central Asia. Thirsty for knowledge, Gurdjeff reached these brotherhoods and there learnt the techniques of self-remembrance. He also learnt breathing techniques, that combined with certain repetitive formulae or prayers, awaken the consciousness and develop emotional mysticism, which takes us close to the inner master. One of these secret schools that he contacted has its external representation in one of the chain Nasvaldi. The main practice of this order is the remembe...

Introduction The following text comes from a documentary made by a Gnostic institution that quotes Gurdjieff describing the practice of self-remembering and how the human being believes that he or she remembers their being but in truth does not. Gurdjieff on Self-Remembering “However, possibly the most revolutionary and novel idea that Gurdjeff brought to the west was the idea of self-remembering. This idea comes with the pathetic reality that man lives in a state in which he does not remember himself, that is to say, he forgets himself completely. This very revolutionary statement was something new at its time, something that science and philosophy had missed till then. One day, talking about the difficulty that man has to self-observe psychologically, Gurdjeff told his disciples what the most difficult obstacle to attain it is. He said: None of you has noticed the most important issue that I pointed out, that is to say, none of you noticed that you don't r...
