Gnosis Wisdom

Now that the new year is around the corner or has come already (depends when you read this), it is a good moment to conduct a retrospection of the year just passed.  Focusing on, more than anything, our inner growth. How has the year been in that regard? Have we advanced somewhat? Have we learnt somewhat? If we made mistakes did we learn and correct them? How did we go in relation to our karma? How did we go in relation to our inner Divinity? How did we go with others? Whatever the result of our retrospection we have this year 2017 to go for it!  Use the new year to wipe the slate clean and go for it! End (1397).

Best Way The best, and wisest strategy or even more than that, a way to take life, is to love reality. Love what comes to you good and bad. Someone ridicules you, like it. Someone rejects you, love that you are alone again. Plans change, like the new change in plans. Receive an insult love that insult, love that the person felt free enough to say those words! Loving reality my goodness is revolutionary and liberating! It frees us from pain and resentment, anger, pride and control. Very Hard but in the End its Right Just try it, and see for yourself! At least start to like it or see how you can like it. Like reality not our mind and its patterns and schemes. It is very hard to do at times (almost impossible), but at least we can have this notion present that it is best to always love reality! Just knowing about this makes a difference that is 100% for sure. End (1396).

What Would Happen? I wonder what would be of a person’s life if they decided to just surrender their will to the flow of life? Their only will, will be no-will. If they felt hungry they would eat, go to the toilet if needed, obey the needs of the body, shower when itchy, go to work when it’s time to be at work, and at work if the boss says write this document, write that document. They won't like anything, dislike anything, they don't want anything in particular they just go with what reality and the needs of and impulses of the moment bring them. What would happen if such a person lived like this? Where would they end up? Answers Well there is a very interesting book and audiobook written by Michael Singer titled" the surrender Experiment" where he did just that. Well it turns out he went on a hell of a spiritually and psychologically transforming journey! I have been trying this ou...

Introduction Having our mind as a reference point is very different to having our consciousness as a reference point. One obvious difference is that our mind will always come up with an answer, correct or incorrect, whether it be totally unreal, or an assumption, or a theory, or a supposition, a fantasy or close to reality but an answer. Our consciousness most of the time remains quiet when consulted leaving us with no apparent answer. Consult the Consciousness and Make it a Reference Point When we consult our consciousness the answer we get is always a certain answer. In the sense that is a definite knowing. If silence is the result when we consult our consciousness we have the answer, the answer is that for sure we don’t know the answer and we have to search. On the other hand we may consult our consciousness and we find that the answer is something that we actually do know or in the moment the answer comes to us. This is different to the mind where we never really kn...

Four Cases There is a certain line of reality, and there are actually four cases related to that line. First The first case is where that line of reality is touched or made contact with only occasionally. Second The second case is where the line of reality is regularly touched. But it also veers away from reality just as regularly. Third The third case is where one is always in close contact with the line of reality. First and Second The first two cases are for those who live mostly in fantasy or half in reality and half in fantasy, as in the second case. The person in the third case is one that does not fantasize or only fantasises very seldom. Fourth There is also a fourth case where the person is centred on reality but can see beyond and below reality. This is the for the awakened ones. End (1393).

Introduction The fallen bodhisattwa is a real astounding mystery, on one hand they can be wise, lucid, clear, firm, knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, understanding, benevolent and even possess faculties and powers or inklings of faculties and powers yet on the other hand leave everyone shaking with shock and disbelief at their actions. We say and think: “how could this be?”. On one hand, so clearly expressing the qualities of the spirit and on the other hand so intensely expressing the ego and its characteristics. How could this be? People are usually just a mediocre good and bad mixture, being more good than bad or they are really bad with some good flashes or they are just good. But not this intense flip of opposites. Which makes these fallen bodhisattwas very difficult to deal with. Double Centre of Gravity The fallen bodhisattwas have a double centre of gravity. Within them there is the ego on one side and o...

Normal Image Dashed We normally think of purity in terms of people. That is, as someone dressed in white, someone who is a virgin, someone that is devoted totally to God, someone who only speaks of and thinks of God and heavenly things. Well after all, it is only a concept of what a pure person may be like. There are other ways of seeing purity, especially those that are independent of people and our religious concepts. Such an image of purity actually when I go inside of myself, I find that it does not help me, it actually brings one down. This is because we see that we are not this image or everything in this image and so logically our mind creates a thought about ourselves saying that we are rotten etc. But as this is a mechanical evaluation of ourselves we are not compelled to become more conscious of our rottenness and that way work on dissolving it. We instead just feel mechanically ‘bad’. This post is about searching for a more esoteric and conscious definition o...

So We Wanted to Know More We were one day tempted and our own light warned us about what we would find. However, we wanted to know if what the light spoke was real. Somehow we were not quite convinced. It seemed that the light was not speaking to our physicality. That the light’s warning was just somehow not enough, it did not address what we felt. We had to know more for ourselves… Perhaps what the light says is not really that bad… was the erroneous thinking. So We Fell… Of course the light within us was speaking to and for our light. To fall into the world is for the world. The light warned us instinctively that we are only going to find deception and suffering if we were to follow the suggestions of temptation. And indeed the light was right! We somehow distrusted the light, we did not believe in it fully. The warning of the light did not satisfy something within us. It was somehow not quite good enough. Someth...

Two Definite Ways There are basically two definite ways to know that something is wrong. Knowing that something is wrong is very useful in the comprehension of the ego. Because we can keep something of the ego alive because we just can’t see anything wrong with it. When we are confused as to whether something is wrong or right or we suspect that something is wrong but we can’t clearly see it, these two ways will help. External Consequences The first way is to observe the consequences. If the consequences or results are negative, it is a very easy conclusion that that thing is wrong, inconvenient, negative, contains unbalance and by nature is not right or in accordance with the way of things or the laws and principles of life, the work and the path. Internal Consequences Sometimes there appear to be no external negative consequences, sometimes the negative consequences are very light and can be easily brus...

Psychological Individual We start to experience what it is to be a psychological individual when we relocate our reference point from the outside to the inside. That is from other people or our thoughts and feelings about other people to what we know about ourselves and our own consciousness and conscience. There are degrees of psychological individuality, however none of them can ever be attained if one has not relocated his or her reference point to be in his/her consciousness. A person who has his or her reference point by which to cause his or her psychological processes is a person that is dependent on the reactions of others. Such a person always asks for approval, feels that he or she is always doing something wrong, always feels guilty and nervous, is always worried what others think about him or her and always feels people are looking at him or her and are judging him or her (in other words ‘self-conscious’ in ordinary everyday language). When we have our refe...

Introduction I don't know about you but many times I find myself in a bit of conundrum about how to behave in certain social situations. The choice of reference points and prior knowledge and experience is determinant in helping us to behave appropriately and correctly. Normally Normally we behave according to the reference point placed in others. That is we know how people like us to behave and so we behave in accordance to that. Meaning our reference point to generate our behaviour is in what we know about what others like and dislike.   This way of behaving avoids many problems but it really is constraining, boring, mechanical, restrictive and just ends up making you feel bitter and it produces a huge desire to just get out of there and be free undressed of that situation and those people. So we need another way of behaving, one that does not cause problems and one that does not produce all these feelings of  "people pleasing constriction". ...

Introduction This post is a short presentation of some notes taken about what Master Samael says regarding the objective reasoning of the Being. Objective Reasoning Master Samael says that the objective reasoning of the Being is the "greatest faculty that the Being has" .  He also says that if we compare the chakras to the objective reasoning of the Being it would be like comparing the light of a candle to the illumination of the sun. In the book "Pistis Sophia Unveiled", Master Samael says that Sophia is the objective reasoning of the Being: In the Quinto Evangelio Master Samael says the following in relation to the objective reasoning of the Being. "We can apprehend, discern, comprehend the most transcendental truths of the Being through the objective reasoning. Through the awakening, the consciousness gains objectivity and then the vehicle of the consciousness is the interior mind which develops the objective reasoning. So there i...

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! I wish that the human side of Christmas is peaceful for you and allows introspection and entrance into the mystery of the Christ Birth. You are thinking what does "ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST mean: "And the Word Became Flesh ". And also may your own special Christmas come one day soon! I really wish that it may be that your intimate Christ is born one day soon! Not because I know anything about this matter, but becasue we all in the world need it, and then firmly and securely will your path lead to Him! Master Samael said that many have been born and many will be born in the future. May one of those be yours! The world needs Him in you! End (1385).

Cosmic Values The money we have here physically is a representation of cosmic values. When we have some cosmic values those values come down to us here as values on paper and coins. The more dharma we have the more cosmic values or capital we have and also the more money we have here physically. We have to use our money wisely. If we do use our physical money wisely we will by correspondence know how to use our cosmic capital wisely. End (1381).

Christic Force Descends to Stop at Christmas Master Samael says that the Christic Force or Principle takes three steps from above. The first step is from the Absolute to Chochmah, then from Chochmah to Tiphereth and then from Tiphereth to Malcuth. There is also another version to this as well, which is from above where the Christic force moves from within the Absolute to Chochmah, then from Chochmah to the Divine Mother and then from the Divine Mother to Tiphereth and from Tiphereth to Malcuth. Christmas is when the Christic principle takes the third step from Tiphereth into Malcuth. End (1384).

Hunger: a Karma Sometimes I wonder why is there hunger and famine in certain parts of the word and in others there is such an abundance that good food has to be thrown out. It has to be karma on a national level, and karma on an individual level, especially if the country in which the person suffering from hunger lives, is prosperous such as many western countries. Why Suffer Hunger Though Karma works according to duality (flip to the opposite from the opposite reference point). If we are suffering from hunger it is because we deprived others of food and or we in disdain, disposed of good food for petty reasons. Not Wasting Food Not wasting food starts with knowing your own eating capacity and knowing the eating capacity of your guests. Put just enough on your plate and cook just enough for your guests. Otherwise leftovers and leftovers will be the order of the day and then when we can’t stomach anymore dried...

Introduction I always thought that “Bah Humbug” was what Scrooge would say whenever he saw people getting ready to celebrate Christmas. I thought it was always an expression of a very materialistic, selfish, and greedy and old man that in the end got his heart warmed by the Christmas spirit. But perhaps it is something else. Maybe people are all Scrooges but on the opposite side of expressing it. Perhaps people have the same values as Scrooge but express them in the opposite way. Social and Commercial Values I was driving to work on day and on a fence using Christmas decorations tinsels and baubles etc. was written in large writing on a fence “BAH HAMBUG”. Then I had a thought out of the blue that maybe “BAH HUMBUG” is an expression of dislike against the commercialism of Christmas. Maybe “BAH HUMBUG” on a certain level is right. What does buying gifts, rushing around like mad, cooking like crazy, eating and drinki...

Ask for Help to Generate Force – That’s Better! We often ask for force and we do get it from above. Especially from Master Samael as he is the Logos of Force in our Solar System. It stays and helps us for a while and because it was borrowed it leaves us.  What’s worse or more shameful is when we ask for force and we receive it and then it gets wasted or misused by the egos in us. I think that it is better to work so to be able to generate our own force and when we ask for force that force from above joins with the force we have so to enhance it. If we have a little bit of individual force that means that we also know how to isolate it from the egos that we have. With one of these egos being anger, and another one being pride. Sometimes we just need force and for sure there is nothing wrong in asking for force. But after a while the question rises why not work to be able to generate force and establish a mini ...

Qualities of Force Force working inside of ourselves is pretty marvellous. It bangs, clarity, decision, conviction, definite words, focus in our mind, the banishment of distraction and weaknesses. It allows us to overcome obstacles, to draw upon our resources to displace indecision, worry, defeatism and fear. It allows us to hold our psychology in place avoiding that it caves in, and to also control other negative or instinctive forces within us. It also connects us to our Being and the Masters. This is because force comes from the Being and with force we can be used by the white forces to carry out white missions or actions. Anger and Force Anger most of the time brings the benefits of force, but it just makes a disastrous use of that force! Forced Used Positively Within Us Force has to be used wisely within us. It can be used to hold our psychology up, to sustain it to keep it balanced, to not allow our...

Essence Active Save Energy Using will to stay awake saves energy, because the essence being aware saves energy. Identification with the ego is what drains our energy supplies. Of course the essence requires energy to remain active but less energy than what is consumed during our normal day dream day and night living mode, with the ego and the personality using our energies. It also strengthens the will and the essence. It is a win-win situation. The way to strengthen the will and keep the essence active is self-remembering. End (1378).

When in Disorder Use the mind when the emotion is in disarray, use the emotion when the mind is in disorder. Deviating from Reality Harms the Brain! When we deviate from reality or go into fantasy we actually are making an effort to change our brain to accept something that is not real. Our will wants to create that fantasy and forces our brain to accept it. A useless emotional effort is fantasising. Fantasy often involves substantially powerful emotions. When we deviate from reality we are actually are making within our system useless emotional efforts. Which cup is the ball under? Useless cups, a bit like useless emotional efforts that we make. Useless Emotional Efforts An emotional useless effort is when we lack the capacity or power to bring a desire into reality! When we have that power or capacity to make desires reality, any effort made in relation to that is not a useless, emotional effort. End...

Introduction This another snippet about trust from the retreat. We are Always Trusting We are always trusting, we trust the chefs in a restaurant, we trust the banks with our money, we trust our boss to pay us etc. etc. When something makes sense to us we trust it. Therefore, trust has something to do with understanding and the more understanding we have the more trust we have. Word Trust The word trust comes from the old Scandinavian word for strong. Loss of Hope When we fail constantly we lose hope. What brings hope are results. To trust we need some facts behind us. We need some results. We basically trust the ego because it brings results. If it didn’t bring results we would not trust in it. Makes Sense for the Essence to Trust the Being When we identify ourselves as an essence we come to the conclusion that it makes sense to trust the Being. We trust our physical parents becau...
