Gnostic Wisdom

Introduction The faculties of the chakras can certainly have a negative aspect to them and this I think is really worth knowing! It is worth knowing this because a lot of people when they start Gnosis really want to have all these faculties and they think that it would be really great to have all these faculties. That is why they want them, but I honestly think if you were to somehow magically give them all the faculties that they want they would end up much worse off than what they are now and that is why, by the way we don’t have them. With the ego alive the faculties do a lot more bad than good, that is for sure. Telepathy for Example Take telepathy for example. The faculties are faculties and they perceive good and bad things and so with telepathy if a person has something of this faculty one can catch the negative waves coming from people and this can produce some unpleasant emotions or feelings  and of course your own egos of self-love and preoccupations c...

Introduction Our biggest problem in the psychological work is the subconscious. For the reason it is not clear and transparent to us. It is vague, confusing, unclear, hard to get a handle on, elusive, and a little mysterious. If we could see the reasoning and motives clearly our problems would certainly be solved. It is because we can’t see what is precisely going in the subconscious is the reason why things are difficult. That difficulty comes in the form of not being able to control our emotions, not being able to stop our suffering with the ego and not being able to really understand what is going on with us. In fact when we don’t know the subconscious we are basically controlled by it, which of course for everyone is a very unpleasant experience especially if the element in our subconscious produces negative emotions. Separating from the Subconscious In relation to the subconscious there are only really two things that we can do to deal with it. One is to me...

Introduction We have to at times show the reality to some egos and show it to them in a very strong and intense way so that they can start to get the message. What they need to see is what the physical facts mean or imply or telling us and everyone else who sees it. Obsessions Lust is really bad at times when it comes to not seeing reality. Other egos are quite bad as well. In fact obsessions are egos that just don’t want to see reality. They grow so strong in their fantasy that they can’t be convinced anymore of what reality is telling them. With Force and Command from the Essence Anyway with some egos we have to come to accept the reality before they can be even worked on, and for them to see reality we have to address the subconscious part of them with determination, firmness and force – real command from our mind and will. Repeat it and repeat until it sinks in! End (930).

Introduction This lesson comes from Master Samael’s book “The Three Mountains” where he writes about how he successfully performed the fourth labour of Hercules. This lesson is really a supremely important one for everybody to know, learn and to apply. It is useful for some people all of the time or some of the time or at least once at some point in a person’s life. Excerpt “In the name of truth I must confess frankly and openly that the Fourth Labour turned out to be tremendously easy for me; however I had to pass through a delicate test. In an old park of the city I saw myself talking to a noble lady; somebody that was doubtless a great friend. We were sitting very close on a bench, feeling a great mutual love. For an instant we appeared to be lovers, but... Suddenly I remembered my Divine Mother Kundalini! Then I diverted this current of love towards the interior and upper regions, towards my adorable Mother... At that instant I said with all the streng...

Introduction As people who begin to see that what really matters is using our time to work on ourselves we naturally don’t want to be spending large amounts of our time on things that are not to do with the work. And so we logically don’t want to really be at work working hard in an office, shop, yard or wherever it may be that we are employed. A Reason Though we are there in our place of work for a particular reason, a reason other than to earn money so to pay for our food and shelter and other needs. We have to find that reason, and that reason has something to do with our psychology and of course karma. But I would say more to do with acquiring some psychological value that we are not cultivating. Instead we are cultivating the opposite of it and that is what keeps us stuck there in that workplace. When we decide to cultivate that value we begin to also pay off any karmic debts that we have accumulated from ...

Introduction This post is a collection of notes on the personality that I jotted down while listening to a class on the Personality given by my marvellous missionary. Definition Personality in us is a psychological and energetic structure that is used by people to relate to the environment in which they are in. Personality is not used by people to relate to themselves but to the environment. Personality is not us, it belongs to us and yet it doesn't because it is not really us. Personality is developed through family, education and environment. The personality is like a sponge, that absorbs impressions and ultimately values from these three mentioned sources and stores them and then begins to express these values and the particular way of expressing these values is personality. Personality is about expressing these vanes but not about being developing those inner values. The values of the personality are really external values. Personality is what has be...

Summing it up To sum up these posts about being interested in someone outside of Gnosis or either with someone who is already outside of Gnosis I would say do one’s best to give oneself the best chance possible in one’s work by looking for someone who is in Gnosis or someone who definitely without can be (because you asked and received definite confirmation), or if you are with someone already bring them to Gnosis. Very Difficult Otherwise Otherwise it is very difficult, many people in such relationships where one is in Gnosis and the other is not, suffer a lot because of the limitations that they constantly face. And the sad thing is that these limitations are not always overcome sometimes because they are very difficult to overcome and sometimes because they just can’t be overcome without a falling out or falling apart occurring. Can’t Tell People to Break Up Though This is such a very tricky point. People in Gnosis can’t really tell anyone to break up. That is re...

Answer To give an answer to this question straight off the bat without any introduction I would say that I honestly havn’t heard of there being a definite number. Some People Say Three Some people say three is the limit, though I have not read that in any of Master Samael’s books. This number could have come from perhaps Master Samael or Master Rabalu that was transmitted to a group of students in an informal meeting perhaps. The Law It is really a matter of the Divine Law, if a person has more than three it could be that the Law allows it because the previous ones became very ill or died or just by their own accord did not want to practice Alchemy anymore. The Divine Law always takes a large part in assigning us with a wife or husband. A wife-husband relationship is a major thing in a person’s life and so the Divine Law must be involved so as to process our karmic debts and dharma and of course spiritual progress. Cases There are some cases where initia...

Answer To give an answer straight up – I would say that it is too hard to say. Why Too Hard to Say? Because there are points for and points against and there are very few cases to go by. The majority of cases of people who have awakened the kundalini are those where both parties are active in Gnosis or rather actively engaged in the work on themselves. Points For If a person who is in Gnosis works in the Alchemy well on his or her part and is sincere in the work and is doing his or her best and is accumulating merits then something has to move then in their favour, doesn’t it? You would think that it would happen one day that such a person awakens their kundalini. The Law always assesses each soul on its own merits, so why not if such a soul has the merits for it. Points Against Such a couple where one is transmuting and one is not, is not really an Alchemical couple. One would think that an Alchemical couple is needed for the results of the Alchemy to b...

Introduction This post is about presenting some psychological reflections that may be helpful when facing this situation, in particular when the person is divided and confused. You’ve Felt Like this Before I’m sure that this is not the first time that you have felt torn like this before or felt that you really like a person but it can’t be, and you don’t really want to have to face or accept that. You have felt this before and guess what you are here again. This means that you will be here again in the future with someone else or maybe better you will be with someone else that is the right one for your work and you. There are as they say many fish in the sea, and by law, for every person there exists a compliment so your compliment exists somewhere, it is just a matter of your paths crossing. This, of course, as everything in the physical world implies time and karma (merits etc.) When your pat...

Introduction This post presents some of the observations that I have made over the years of people in these situations. This may help a person to see things with a clearer head if a person finds him or herself in such a situation. I really don't want to mock anybody, all I want to do with this post is to present the typical flawed ways of thinking and feeling that are experienced when people are in these type of situations.  The Observations Here below are some of the very typical things that are said, thought and felt when people are in the struggle of whether to continue with or not continue with the girl friend or boyfriend who is outside of Gnosis and doesn’t really like Gnosis . The Redeemer What often happens is that people feel as if they can fulfil the role of a redeemer, helping the person who is not in Gnosis to come to do the Gnostic esoteric work. Many times the redeemer dreamer does not really know if the person not in Gnosis wants to do or i...

Introduction Lately, memories related to this topic have been popping up quite frequently, so I thought that I might as well write about it, getting it all out of my head and onto the blog. Maybe it may be useful for someone out there (I honestly don’t know who), because I think that sometimes this point crosses the mind of some Gnostic students and I think that it is worth knowing what Gnostic instructors have said (what is here is a collection of all that I have heard from Gnostic instructors) regarding this question. First of All a Very Tricky Point Once I came across a web site which was like a forum of some sort and on it were of course former Gnostic students airing their complaints about Gnosis. One complaint was that people can only marry people who are in Gnosis and that this was very cult like. Well I think that if a Gnostic group would only allow people to marry others who are in Gnosis I would say that such a Gnostic group is going astray and is becoming...

Introduction We say in Gnosis that what makes us human is the human soul. The human soul lives for, by and in the values of the Being. The other way to live is by, for and in the values of the sleeping parts of the essence, which unfortunately do not make us fully real human beings. They, in manner a fact make us similar to and sometimes worse than animals. Real Human Being To be a real human being is to be the human soul in flesh and bones! Tiphereth is that which really makes us real human beings. The real human being can only be discovered and described from the ethical point of view. Certainly not from the physical point of view because a real human being and an intellectual animal as Master says look exactly the same. Esoteric Dimension of the Real Human Being The esoteric dimension of the human soul is the Being. The psychological dimension of the human soul is the many with the soul at the centre dictating the ethics of behaviour. A real human being is a divi...

An Answer Once again these words or this explanation comes from my marvellous missionary. Ocean of Life We have so many egos because of the shear vastness of the ocean of life or the waters of life that contain so many values. The Being is that vast ocean of life with an infinitude of values and functions. Then as lust is related to the waters of life, lust has access to the waters of life and then using duality it corrupts the waters and what ends up happening is by the conditioning of duality, a shadow for every value of the Being in the ocean of life is created. Contrast It then comes unto us to contrast both polarisations or sides and then chose. There are those that in the past have made their choice and have defined themselves as demons or angels and then there are those which are the huge majority that have not chosen and move between both unknowingly and in the end are taken and cleaned by nature. ...

Because These are not my words but the words of my marvellous missionary. We don't feel remorse because we are very far from the Absolute outside and inside of ourselves.  At first we feel remorse in relation to our own Absolute, that is our own Being and its parts, but when the person gets very close or closer to their Being, remorse is then felt not in relation to their Being but in relation to the greater Absolute outside of oneself. Here the Being begins to take over the process of remorse. End (918).

Introduction The comprehension of the ego is our work, and it is actually much more than just knowing and understanding, though knowing and understanding are crucial essential elements of comprehension. The part that we often don’t see that is a part of comprehension is the work of making the ego’ s function redundant. Adding the latter step to knowing and understanding we have comprehension in its complete sense. Ego’s Function is Redundant What comprehension of an ego really means is that we have come to replace that ego's function with the part of the essence that is responsible for exercising that function. This means that a part of the essence handles that function our of psychology and in any circumstance where that function needs to be exercised it is that part off the essence that carries out that function. This really makes the ego totally redundant. This is what the comprehension of the ego is really in the complete sense. Comprehension in its mo...

IO The mantra IO is one of the many sounds of the Divine Mother. It as you will find out when reading the excerpts below that it is very related to the number 10 which is intimately related to creation and the 10 Sephiroths. Here below is what Master Samael says about it. Excerpt – Samael Aun Weor Tarot ad Kabballah Arcanum 10 “The circle with a point in the centre is related with the mysteries of the Lingam/Yoni. The circle is the Absolute, the eternal feminine principle. It is the Yoni where all the Universes are born. The point is the Lingam, the eternal masculine principle. The circle with a point in the centre is the macrocosmos. These are the mysteries of the Lingam/Yoni with which Universes can be created. The circle is receptive, the point is projective. If the point is projected, it is lengthened and it becomes a line.  It divides the circle into two.  When the point is in movement, then we have the Lingam/Yoni, the two sexes, masculine and feminin...

Introduction Just recently I was writing to some very good friends about a mantra document. I’m not sure who, but someone has to put together a compilation of all or nearly all the mantras that can be found in Master Samael’s books. The only problem is that this compilation is in Spanish. What I thought that I would do is from time to time post in English an excerpt from this compilation. TUM Excerpt 1 – Samael Aun Weor Tarot ad Kabbalah Chapter 36 “This last word is very important, it has three aspects which represent the three primary forces: T:  The Father. U:  The Son. M:  The Holy Spirit. This is a powerful mantra.  When pronouncing it, the forces of the Logos are attracted towards us.  In the instant when the Consecration of the bread and wine is performed the "Christic Atoms" descend and are actually transformed into the flesh and blood of Christ.  This is achieved by means of a channel which is open and directly communi...
