Introduction
Sacrifice and falling are exact opposites.
Master Samael says that both of these laws exist: that of
sacrifice and that of falling.
Sacrifice
Master Samael says that sacrifice is “the conscious choice
of one good superior to another”. You can find this very beautiful and wise
definition in his book the “Secret Doctrine of Anahuac”.
Awakening is also about being able to choose. Therefore
sacrifice is present in the process of awakening.
Sacrifice is the means by which we ascend in the level of
the Being and the means by which we make progress in the awakening of
consciousness and in the death of the ego.
It is a law because it moves circumstances within and
without. Our sacrifices are assigned a value and this is paid attention to by
the Law.
Falling
Falling which is also a law Master Samael says, of which we
have the very physical planetary expression in the force of gravity and the
planetary esoteric expression in the processes of involution.
To fall is to choose that which has an inferior good to
another. Which is the exact opposite of the law of sacrifice.
When anyone falls it is because they chose something that
has an inferior value to something else. In the case of human beings in the
work or not in the work a fall is always when something of our ethics, values,
consciousness, Being etc. is dropped for something that has a far inferior
value and even for something that does not have a real place or legitimate
presence.
For example, we drop our consciousness for identification
with an illusion. When we fall we give the wrong thing a higher value and we
give the very wrong thing a place that it simply should not have and does not
deserve to have!
Conclusion
That is why we ascend with sacrifice and that is why we need
to make sacrifices so to reverse the falls that we have made in the past. In
other words we need sacrifice, it is hard but we simply need it. If we had not
fallen we would need less of it, but because there is such a long way to climb
we need a lot of it. Makes sense right! Then let us make our wise sacrifices so
as to climb up once again!
