Introduction A marvellous missionary in her talk raised this very interesting point. I found it immediately effective. Hence this post. Fear and Completeness She was saying that she has passed through so much fear and she was always ended up being ok and that she has always ended up being complete or whole. She made the point that we are always whole in our essence or consciousness. Comments My understanding is that when we face certain egos like fear or even self-love or pride, we can feel in the pain that they produce that we are losing something or missing out on something or a piece of us is going to be lost or destroyed but in reality this is not true at all. We end up being complete and we are complete now. Of course with the work the completeness increase and increase as we advance dissolving the ego and realising more and more of the Being, thus integrating more of the various parts of the Being i...

Like Children With some egos we can be exactly like children, where identified with the ego, we throw a temper tantrum wanting what it wants and not caring about the many other very good reasons why we should just that desire go! Many egos do this, lust does this, self-love does this, resentment does this, jealousy does this, fear does this. When the instincts and petty emotions are involved and we can’t or don’t want to sacrifice them we are exactly like children. To be mature is to be able to see that the desires of the ego are whims and that they are not going to benefit ourselves, the situation or all or most of the others. To be Mature To be mature is to be able to take a no, to respect other’s will, to be able to sacrifice inferior things for more reasonable things, to be able to see past the short term gains and to the long term benefits, to be able to accept the difficulties of life with strength and understanding, to be able to think of others, to be ...

Introduction A marvellous missionary in her talk on the Being raised this point about the Tree of Life within us and its relationship to our sexual waters. Connecting to the Tree of Life The tree of life has its origin within the Absolute. We too have our inner Absolute and it is our chaos or our sexual waters. The roots of the tree of life within us are in our sexual system. The sexual waters are what provide the nourishment for the tree of life within us. That is why the cleaner and clearer the waters are the better it is for our inner tree of life. In conclusion to the talk was this point was that the way to connect to our tree of life and our absolute within is with the sexual energy. That is by transmuting it and moving it into and upwards through eh tree of life. Comments I think that there are major points for us to be aware of here. The first one is that we have a tree of life within us. We have t...

Introduction This point was raised by a marvellous missionary giving a talk in the New Zealand retreat. This was not the title of his talk but was a point that he brought up suing his talk. It initially struck me as interesting, when I began to think about it, I discovered that what he was saying is right. This post then is about what I understood in relation to his point. Fornication to do with Mind, Word and Sex If I remember correctly these were the words that he said. So straight away we are told that we don’t only fornicate by losing the sexual energy physically we fornicate mentally and with our words. I would dare to say that if we fornicate mentally we also fornicate emotionally and with our will. With a bit of reflection this can be found to be true as well. To me it seems that fornication is related always to energy in its various forms. In the general sense fornication in Gnostic terms in the psychological and esoteric sense is to waste energy, where ...

Introduction The following excerpt comes from the “El Quinto Evangelio” where Master Samael speaks very pertinently about the transformation of impressions and how if one were placed in a desert how the transformation of impressions and self-remembering would protect and help one. Excerpt – Power of Transformation of Impressions Spanish “Si colocáramos dos sujetos en un lugar inhóspito, con mala alimentación, mal ambiente, etc. (el uno que jamás se acuerda de sí mismo, que vive una vida mecánica, y el otro, que siempre se acuerda de sí mismo de momento en momento que siempre está acordándose de su propio Ser, que nunca olvida a su Ser Íntimo), pueden ustedes estar absolutamente seguros que el primero moriría pronto y que el segundo viviría a pesar del ambiente inhóspito, porque está rodeado de Fuerzas distintas a las de los demás... Todo el problema de la LIBERACIÓN se fundamenta en la TRANSFORMACIÓN y la transformación tiene por basamento el SACRIFICIO. Observen ...

Introduction This is a huge area of work for us. We are all severely conditioned by the past. This topic was talked about by my marvellous missionary. This post goes into the topic of the past showing how we are conditioned by the past and how this conditioning can be undone. Seeing by Virtue of the Past We see the events of life from the past, we see people from the past and we see ourselves from the past. The Past Influences our Perceptions and our Perceptions Produce Actions Our perceptions are conditioned by the past and as our perception leads to actions, our current actions are conditioned by the past. The process is: Perception -> Concepts -> Feeling -> Emotion -> Action. We talk to people from the past, we open a door according to what happened in the past. We answer the phone according to what happened in the past etc. When Stuck in the Past What we do if we are stuc...

Introduction The topic of this post was spoken about in the New Zealand retreat, and it was spoken about I believe to give those listening an answer to this question that often worries all of us. Experience The speaker related an experience that he had while watching the news one afternoon. I think it was the Malaysian airlines incident over the Ukraine that was being reported on. Suddenly the TV and the room disappeared, and he saw a scene of green pastures with a rainbow in the background and children playing (essences). He understood that the essences that die now in accidents or that will die in the events of the times of the end will be placed by the divine Law in other regions or places where they will be safe and will future lives and perhaps even given chances to start and complete their self-realisation. He said after this experience he felt a relief and his worries and disquietudes about this died dow...

Introduction This was a talk presented by my marvellous missionary about the principal psychological profile (P.P.P) and the secret of pain. I tis very practical and helpful. We really need to free ourselves from pain. It is one of the main conditioners or bottlers of our consciousness. In order to awaken our consciousness, we must tackle our pain and liberate it so to be free of it or no longer conditioned by it. A very beautiful tree just outside the retreat centre. About the P.P.P The P. P. P is our best teacher. It is our Being. It represents a huge cosmic value that we must learn about and acquire. The Being pays a high price to obtain this value (the value trapped in the P.P.P). 50% or more of the essence or even 50% of the Being is trapped in the P. P. P. It is like a psychological philosopher’s stone. The psychological foundation upon which our self-realisation rests. The most pain we feel com...

An Interesting Retreat Just last weekend a retreat in New Zealand took place. It was a very interesting retreat where some very helpful talks were presented by many marvellous missionaries. Marvellous Missionaries I say marvellous missionaries, because all the missionaries are marvellous due to the very important work for humanity and the planet that they are doing an which the greater majority of humanity would not even wish to dare to contemplate. During the retreat I took several pages of notes and what I would like to do in the following series of posts is present some of the notes that I took. End (1146).

Introduction I was always a bit puzzled by why the colours of the Alchemy were black, white, yellow and red.  The black and the white made perfect sense, though the yellow and red were puzzling for me. I very naively thought at one point that it was a reflection of the four colours of human beings, the yellow Asiatic, the red Indian, the black African and the white European. I somehow don’t think that this is a very good reason or analogy. Here below is an interesting excerpt by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov giving an interesting explanation. Excerpt “Why do alchemists describe the transformation of matter in the Great Work as a sequence of colours? Because they have observed this sequence with vegetation. Think of fruit trees for example: apart from some nuances – for nature is rich in variety – they pass through a series of colours, and always in the same order. In winter, the trees are black and bare. In spring,...

Introduction Master Samael mentioned in several of his books the laws of correspondence, opposites and analogies. This post is a brief look at how the laws of correspondence and opposites applies to human beings. As brief note, these two laws can be seen operating in human beings in the way the three realities (physical, psychological and esoteric) of human beings relate to one another. Sometimes the three realities correspond and sometimes they are the opposite. The Roman God Janus Furthermore, when one of these laws does not apply, it usually directly implies that the other ones applies. For example, if in a human being the psychological does not correspond with the physical the psychological will be the opposite to the physical. If it is not one law that applies, it is the other law that applies. Laws of Correspondence and Opposites in Relation to Beauty In relation to beauty there are four types of hu...

Introduction We certainly want others to be conscious! This is because we all somehow know that being conscious is when we are at our best or give our best. We are at our best when we are conscious, because we are all present. What we have of essence is all concentrated and engaged in the task at hand, and only the best can come out of that. We Want our Doctor, our Mechanic, our Friends, our Family, our Spouse etc. to be Conscious We want our doctor to be perceptive and alert during our consultation. We want him or her to notice and pick up the unseen and know exactly how to heal us. We want our mechanic to pin point the exact fault and prevent any future faults. We want our mechanic to the best job by paying the utmost attention to detail (no distractions) while servicing our car. We want our lawyer to know that we can win the case. We want all the drivers on the road to see us and know that we are drivi...

Introduction It is pretty tough to be treated harshly. We naturally want it to end as fast as possible. Sometimes it doesn’t. This post gives some ideas on what we can do. Karma We may look up and ask “why, why am I being treated this way when all I have done is help, though true I did something that triggered it but it was not that bad that I get treated like this for so long.”. The answer here is that we are paying a karma or perhaps going through a test, especially if it is blatantly unjust. Most likely though, it is karma. So be happy, we are cancelling a karmic debt and soon we will be free from it. Tough Gymnasium – What do I do? A very interesting and true point is that what is more important than trying to please the person or fix it, is how we are inside of ourselves. The best and the only thing that we really must seek is to not think negatively or feel negatively towards them!!! No Negative T...

Introduction This is such a common thing for all Gnostics to do. Using the mind we create expectations of our work, we create a schedule or a time line so to speak. These expectations are the same goals that are behind all types of controlling tendencies, which has been mentioned in an earlier post. Let Go of the Mind Because the Being is There Of course when our actual progress does not fit into the mental scheme or plan that we have created, there is a lot of suffering. What we have to realise is that it is our Being that is setting the pace and the goals, and this should immediately calm our suffering. Because then the progress is really his through us. We though should not just nothing, we have to keep fighting, doing our best and let our Being take care of his business which is His progress, and not so much our business. Our business is to stay as awake as possible. End (1140).

Introduction A very tricky business is the subconscious desire to control the affection or even the heart of others. I want to ask: “can we control the heart of another?”. We feel that we can and we think we can, but real life shows us that we can’t. We can’t because we may have tried and what happened? It didn’t work and there was suffering and upset feelings for all. Goal of the Desire to Control the Heart of Another The desire and goal behind this control is “to occupy a place in the person’s heart”. We feel that we are not in their heart and so with the belief that we can actually control another person’s heart we start to do things that pressure the person and that are designed to make them happy so to like us or put us into their heart and that way we try to control or we go to the other side trying to make them feel guilty for not having us in their heart. “How cruel, cold, unfair and selfish that is” we say. Just on the side; self-love, self-importance ...

Introduction This post is inspired from an email a friend sent in response to the previous post about ‘control freaks’. In many cases the title of this post rings true. If I look into my life I see that it is mostly right. There are some cases where we end up quite happy because everything went our way, but we can’t guarantee that it will be that way in the future. I think that any Gnostic would not want things to go their way because that is a tremendous weakness and it essentially means we are not open to the new and we are not open to the real and if that is the case how can we ever expect to embrace our Being when it is outside of our control and is the real in us and is of the real, the great reality. We try to exert control in many areas of life. From trying to control external events to people’s hearts to the progress of our own path. Once again trying to control these areas and more, leaves us suffering...

Let’s Face it People don’t usually like very controlling people. People usually run from them. 'Control Freaks' clash often with people, it seems that they spend most of their life involved in clashes. The worst clashes are when one ‘control freak’ comes in contact with another ‘control freak’. This happens so often in life, because people in certain areas or even in all areas have that tendency towards control. I think it is worth giving a definition of a ‘control freak’ because it can be a little bit of a tricky issue. What’s Wrong with Being a ‘Control Freak’ when Control is Necessary? Certainly and no one can deny this, to a degree, control over one’s environment is needed. For example, a judge must have a certain control over the proceedings in his or her court, a surgeon must be in control of the operating theatre, a military general must be in control of the armed forces assigned to him or her and a le...
