Values – A State of Consciousness
Chastity from the Gnostic point of view, is a value or a
state of consciousness.
A value or state of consciousness means a comprehensive and
deep understanding of how ‘something’ functions and the wisdom on how that ‘something’
can be wisely used.
The nature of the understanding mentioned above, is first internal
then external, where the internal is about how this ‘something’ is part of one’s
inner Being.
Chastity
When it comes to chastity that ‘something’ referred to above
is sexuality and sexual energy. When it comes to anger that ‘something’ is force
and when it comes to pride that ‘something’ is balance, dignity and majesty
etc.
Understanding in Chastity
The understanding in chastity is that each human being has a
special source of life energy that is extraordinarily powerful and whose
function is to create.
Chastity understands that this energy is part of one’s Being
and needs to be related to. It knows both ways (white and black) of relating to
it. It is the result of the contrast of these two ways.
It knows that energy flows and needs to be directed and channelled.
It is the appreciation of the value of this energy, and it is the knowledge of
the conservation and wise application of this energy.
It knows that this energy can be fused within and there is
an ascension, a triumph,
Only the fool would burn a bag of money, a white magician would
use the money for good, and a black magician would use the money for evil. In both
ways that money is purposefully used according to the nature of the user, and
only an ignorant and foolish person would waste it. The person without chastity
wastes their energy, because one is ignorant of it. A chaste person is not ignorant.
Sexuality
The wise and loving relationship with this energy is the value
of sexuality. Where sexuality is a way of loving one’s inner Being with the
sexual energy. Of course, of course if one has love inside for the Being then
that love will extend outwards to one’s Alchemical spouse.
Loving others is only complete when one loves their own
Being. Loving others without loving one’s own Being is incomplete. Love for one’s
Being exudes love for others as well. You can only give what you have. If you
have love for others you can love the Being in you, and if you love the Being
in you, you will love others.
End (1156).
