How Gnosis Loves - Emancipation of the Will - (2594)

Image
Even If Don't Want To If we are insulted can we choose to not feel insulted and stay kind and quiet because that is what we want to do? No right, it is very difficult, to remain quiet let alone remain kind and gentle outside and inside of ourselves. This is because our will is not our own. Our will is dispersed amongst several other egos, and it is this will 'that is not our own' that prevails when insulted. Because our will is in the hands of various egos we can be moved and controlled just like we were puppets. Love from Gnosis The marvellous thing about Gnosis is that it really loves us, it shows us how to emancipate our will from so we can do the things that our very own essential really wants to do. We can say that within Gnosis there is the highest respect of free will. This is because Gnosis gives us the keys to free our will and therefore come to possess all of our will. Thus we really and truly get free will. That for me is the love in Gnosis. ...

Why Go Above Good and Evil? Master Samael Answers – (2593)

Image
Introduction Here we go, the reason why we must struggle to transcend both good and evil and not get stuck in good. Excerpt English “Thus, the Initiate has to become independent not only of the FORCES OF EVIL, but also from the FORCES OF GOOD; he has to fight against the Powers of Evil and against the Powers of Good. " "In final synthesis, good becomes bad, and many aspects that seemed to be evil, become good; and we must go beyond good and evil, and know the good from the bad and the bad from the good. The dogmatic structures of conventional ethics, in the end, only serve as a stumbling block for those who march along the Path of Self-realization; that is the harsh reality of the facts.” Original Spanish “Así, el Iniciado tiene que independizarse no solamente de las FUERZAS DEL MAL, sino también hasta de las FUERZAS DEL BIEN; tiene que pelear contra las Potencias del Mal y contra las Potencias del Bien.” “En última síntesis, el bien se vuelve ...

Colours and Auras – (2592)

Image
Aura Master Samael says that everyone has an aura, and a person’s aura is the emanation and vibration of the natural fire that we have in our body. He also says that our aura is influenced by our psychological state. He says that we can train ourselves to see the aura of people. Furthermore, every planet has an aura, and every living thing by virtue of the quantity of the natural fire of life and vitality that the living thing has within it, has an aura. Violet and purple auras. Our aura changes constantly based on what we are doing inside of ourselves.

When in the ‘No’ of the Ego Focus on the ‘Yes’ of Your Work and Your Being – (2591)

Image
When Struggling with a Decision... When we are in a struggle, we are in a struggle because there is the ego in us saying “No!” and then there is the work saying “Go Ahead!”. Or it could be the opposite if we struggling with temptation. The ego is saying “Yes!” and the work is saying “No!”. Anyway, we can help ourselves out by focusing on the yes of the work and the yes of the Being. We can feel the hurt, pain, worry etc. of the ego, but it is displaced by the joy of saying yes to the work and the Being. Imagining we take the decision to go ahead in the work, then imagine he benefits of that decision coming to us, imagine the peace, the light, the harmony, the happiness of the essence… That is very powerful stuff to displace the angst of the ego. Conclusion Where we choose to focus is decisive! I suggest if you really like and value your spiritual work, put your focus on the work and your inner Being. End (2591).

Work Well in Your Actual Life Not in Your Should Be Life – (2590)

Image
Don't Touch with Reality Even with the best intentions, we can start to stop living in our life and go astray living in what we should be doing and what we want to be doing instead of what we are actually doing. For example, we say: “I should be working on this and that in such a, such a way” and we start to chase that idea of ‘should’ and that is where our focus goes and we forget the now and the important egos that appear in us and stop working on ourselves but because we still have the ‘should’ in ourselves we still think that we are working but we are not really. When we live in the ‘should’ we actually stop noticing our life and we don’t really come into direct grounded contact with our life and ourselves as we really are. The result of this is living on the surface and never being able to make real changes within us. In the ‘Should’ is Pride To live in the ‘should’ is pride and a lack of trust in our inner Divinity. Our inner Divinity sets the rhythm and d...

Separation of the Wills – (2589)

Image
When our will and the will of the go are united we have no chance of dissolving the ego. We will always do the bidding of the ego. When our will separates from the will of the ego then freedom for us has begun. This is because when the wills separate, that is when a part of your essence will say no I don’t want to do that anymore. Then in that wedged open space we can notice that we are really the one who does not want to do it. Then with that opened space we can work and work making that space of separation of wills bigger and bigger until we acquire more will and then the battle is won! End (2589).

Sorry We Have to Know the Jail So To Escape – (2588)

Image
We Don’t Like the Jail You know none of us really like the jail of the ego (you does right?), and so we would naturally prefer not to know about it, talk about it, read about it and even if we could not study it. When there is a person that has dissolved the ego or is dissolving it, you see that this person (not me) naturally does not really want to hear or see the ego. In fact the more they can forget it the better for them. However, in the beginning we can not allow ourselves that luxury. We have to know about the jail of the ego, because if we do not know it there is no way that we can escape from it. The reason why we study the ego is so to be able escape from it at the due moment. No Escape Without Knowledge Nobody would be able to escape physically from a jail if they had not studied every aspect of that jail before hand. See that all the jail escape movies involved an intricate plan that implied very detailed and exact knowledge of the jail and the wa...

Jealousy is About Dissolving Three – (2587)

Image
Introduction Sorry another jealousy post. Tomorrow is a different day so there will be different posts tomorrow. Three No! When there are just two, there is no jealousy. When there is three there is a problem, and jealousy appears to solve this problem. All the feelings of insecurity, being loved less, being only half-loved, feeling abandoned etc. all appear when three hovers around and comes into the picture. You know before three arrived, we were loved the same and when three arrives we are still loved the same. Because of the comparison we feel that we are loved less and feeling the ‘less’ is what jealousy can’t stand. Jealousy is in place in many ways to dissolve three. It is committed to dissolving three. That is its end goal. The way it does it depends on the level of Being of the person, but in the end three must be dissolved. Relativity The very interesting thing here is the relativity. Jealousy seeks a way to physically remove three. This way ...

Why Jealousy is So Awful and a Little Secret – (2586)

Image
Introduction Hi, you are probably getting tired of hearing about jealousy. I understand that… So I’ll keep it brief. Why So Aweful Consider this quote: “JEALOUSY IS THE DRAGON IN PARADISE; THE HELL OF HEAVEN; AND THE MOST BITTER OF  EMOTIONS BECAUSE IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SWEETEST.” This quote tells us why. Because one of the values at the centre of jealousy is love. Which is of course the sweetest. noblest and most beautiful thing in us. As every ego conditions the values of the soul in relativity and duality we see that the value of love in jealousy gets turned over to its opposite, and the opposite of love is of course hatred or one of its many variations such as the many kinds of ill-will. Little Secret In jealousy there are karmic debts. Or rather certain karmic debts that are paid or processed through the ego of jealousy. Which would these karmic debts be? The debts to do with love! The results of us having the in the past betrayed, abando...

Superior Intellectual and Emotional Centres – (2585)

Image
Introduction We have seven centres holding to the Law of Seven the Holy Heptaparaparshinokh that has organised the creation of man. These seven centres are: intellect, emotion, motor, instinct, sex, superior intellect and superior emotion. The two superior centres are only experienced in brief flashes at rare times during the life of a person. If however, a person begins to work on him or herself, the work that this person does opens these centres and allows the person to experience the workings and results of these centres in us more frequently and for longer durations. Master Samael says that messages from the higher parts of the Being filter down to us through the superior centres. Once these messages enter the superior centres they are then passed onto our five centres to be processed and put into action. Superior Intellectual Centre Self-Observation and Self-Remembering Master Samael says belong to the superior intellectual centre. There are dreams ...

We Don’t Dislike Anybody We Dislike our Own Concept and Flavour of the Other – (2584)

Image
Our Flavour and the Other Person are Two Different Things We commonly make the mistake of thinking that what we feel about the person or towards the person is the person. They are really two separate things. The real person is something way more and beyond what we feel about them. Our feeling is so limited and narrow and the real person is infinite, because within them is an infinite Being, just as we have. Conclusion Understanding this allows us to not make the mistake of identifying with our feelings. Because us identifying as having been wronged etc. by that person consists in us seeing them as a nasty person. The result of this is that we can if we want, give ourselves the freedom of not being controlled and conditioned by our own feelings. Dissolve all concepts about people, but until then do not believe in any of them, especially the ones we have about people. End (2584).

Thanking the Monads in Our Lives – (2583)

Image
There are so many beautiful people in our lives that make our life so much easier. Why are they in our life doing that? We don’t know really why, but we can thank them for doing it. Our parents, our brothers and sisters, our Gnostic teacher, our Gnostic class mates etc. The love and help that they give to us comes down from their Monads through them to us. That is a real and precious thing, to be able to appreciate and thank another person, and through that person we hope that our heartfelt thanks can go up to their Monad. Why should another Monad spend its energy and time on us? Hard to answer in exact truth, but in synthesis we find love to be the answer, and that is precisely why we feel gratitude. Love of the Monads! End (2583).

Purgatory Planet - (2578)

Image
Introduction In a few places Master Samael briefly mentions the Purgatory Planet. It wasn't until that I read these 'brief mentions' carefully that I realized that the Purgatory Planet is a part of our realization. This is a very interesting theme and this post is a bit of a collection of what Master Samael spoke about the Purgatory Planet. Every Solar System Has One One interesting point about the Purgatory Planet that Master Samael raised is that each solar system has one. Meaning that in our solar system called Ors, there is one of these mysterious and secret Purgatory Planets. He refers to it as a secret planet that is beyond good and evil. In the way that Master Samael refers to it, seems to be a very physical planet. He says that its climate is of an eternal spring, and it contains the best flora and fauna that the solar system has to offer. He says that its beauty far outweighs the beauty of any of the planets in a solar system. He says ...

Do We Need Desires? – (2582)

Image
Thee Good Desires We have desires, all sorts, yes we know, but there desires that we often ignore are those that are about us doing this or that for our apparent good. These desires appear to be in place to improve our life but actually embitter our life and make our life much more stressful. Because we apply pressure on ourselves and we live life in the should and never being able to fulfill to should. As a result we start to become disconnected from our life and we start to no live in our life. We live in the future and in frustration and in disappointment. Those desires stop us from accepting and trusting our life. We think that we must be pushing ahead with things. Yes we can be but within what our very own precious life gives to us from moment to moment. Accept and Trust To accept and trust our life is conquer a bit of humility and some trust in our very own inner Being. Because it is our very own inner Being that sets up the didactic of learning in our...

Jealousy is about Quantifying or Qualifying Love – (2581)

Image
Fall into Trouble The trick with floating above the many jealous “I’s” that we have is to know that we are loved and that we love the person and most importantly to rest in that - DO NOT TRY TO QUANTIFY OR QUALIFY LOVE! As soon as we go to try to qualify or quantify the love that the person has for us, we fall into lots of pain. Pain arises because to try to qualify or quantify love is to fall into relativity and duality, and relativity  and duality (comparison) only brings pain. The consciousness is not pain because it is outside of relativity and duality. We try to qualify or quantify pain because of fear. The mind looks for a way to relieve the fear and it can only do it through relativity. It has to try and compare love. When the comparison measure results in our favour the mind is relieved and jealousy subsides. When the comparison result is not in our favour, jealousy goes into action, complaining, protesting and it engages all the various strategies t...

The Esoteric Vestment - (2580)

Image
A Vestment - A Tunic A tunic is associated in nearly everyone's mind with something spiritual, religious or magical. All esoteric art depicts the Divine Hierarchies (angels, archangels, thrones, powers, dominions etc.) wearing a tunic or vestment of some sort. Even when God is depicted, God apart from being depicted as a 'He' (really God is Father-Mother), is depicted wearing a tunic, usually white in colour. Physically In the pure physical side of things we have clothes to protect us from the elements, and the type of clothing worn depends very much on the nature of the event we are present in. Much can be read from the way we are dressed and much can be transmitted to others etc. We are not born clothed and to be clothed requires some merit and so clothing can denote nobility, authority, identification, function, role etc. giving clothing a kind of distinguishing and identifying function as well. So, clothing protects and denotes the nature of human acti...

Fear of Animals - (2579)

Image
That Fear So often you find a person who is scared of cockroaches, mice, rats, spiders, snakes, lizards, dogs, wolves, large cats and so on... First Point The very first point to work this fear of the animal or insect that we are scared of is, our dislike or rejection of it. Have you noticed that the insect or animal that we fear we regard as something awful, cruel and almost evil?  Firstly though, they are not evil, they are just instinctive. Well esoterically though they may, in the wash of involution be a vehicle for some "I's" that are very nasty. Though, we also have "I's" that are just as nasty. We do not regard ourselves or others as evil so why should we regard the animal that we fear as evil? Secondly, we can look well at the animal and find beauty in it. A lizard may look like a walking pooh to us, and it is exactly that concept of it that contributes to our fear. So then if we can change that concept we will dissolve a go...

Demiurge Architect – (2577)

Image
Introduction - Associated with Gnosis Quite often when new people come to public talks they ask about or mention the word Demiurge. I frankly was not really well versed in what really who or what is the Demiurge. All, that I really knew was that it can be looked upon by some as negative, that is as the 'bad guy' in the story. So, in order to remedy my ignorance of the Demiurge, I am writing this post. Fire as the architect of the Universe. The Word – Demiurge First things first, let’s shine the spotlight on the word; 'Demiurge'. Demiurge is an English word stemming from the word demiurgus which is the Latin version of the original Greek word demiourgos . It is said that demiourgos in Greek was a common noun referring to ‘artisan’ or ‘craftsman’. In time though it came to be used as ‘creator’ or ‘producer’. This meaning of the Greek word demiourgos comes from Plato’s work "Timaeus" where the word is assigned to a character who ha...

Four Worlds of Kabbalah and How the Being Helps Us – (5364)

Image
Introduction This post is about an excerpt from a talk that Master Samael gave. He talks about the four worlds of Kabbalah and how our inner Being helps us through these four worlds. Aziluth, Briah, Yetzirath and Assiah A summary of what Master Samael says provided here below: Aziluth Aziluth is the world of splendours, the world of the Sephirotic crown, the world of great happiness. Briah Briah is the world of the Spirit. There in Briah is Atman, Buddhi, Manas or Chesed, Geburah and Tiphereth. Yetzirath In Yetzirath is found the astral and mental worlds. Assiah In Assiah is the physical world and the abyss. All four words overlap and manage their functions and processes intelligently without clashing. Ancient of the Days and the Four Worlds In principle Master Samael says that the Ancient of the Days (our Kether) participates in all four worlds. He says that the Logos (our Kether, Chockmah, Binah) directly manages all the Sephirots. The...

A Bit About the Protocosmos – (2576)

Image
Introduction When explaining the seven cosmoses, the first cosmos or the first level of creation is the most difficult to explain as there is not too much information available and this level of creation is not physical – that is it has no physical manifestation. I recently found a passage in the “El Quinto Evangelio” where Master Samael speaks a bit about the protocosmos. Sacred Absolute Sun Master Samael says that the protocosmos is made up of all the sacred absolute suns. He says that every solar system has its particular Sacred Absolute Sun. He goes on to say that behind every sun is a Sacred Absolute Sun. It is the spiritual animating force behind each and every sun. Master Samael also says that the Sacred Absolute Sun is the AIN SOPH AUR, which we know as the outer of the three layers of the Absolute. He says also that the ray of creation called the Holy Okidanoch emanates from the Sacred absolute Sun. Conclusion This then tells us that the fi...

What Makes You Happy – A Result in the Work – (2574)

Image
Something that transforms you is working honestly hard and seeing a result appear in ourselves. This can only spur you on! Such an experience renews your conviction and breathes new life in our inner constitution, where we can work again to repeat the uncompleted task. When we are struggling in the work, one way to change the struggle is to do something that we know works. End (2574).

Atoms of Will Freed – (2573)

When we pray to the Divine Mother and ask here to eliminate an ego and out of that practice surges the feeling and decision that we deeply want the essence and not the weakness of the ego anymore, we can know that we have freed some atoms of will from the ego. When we carry out elimination practices (KRIM) with honesty and sincerely then one day soon we will feel these atoms being freed from the ego and they will join with the atoms of the already freed will in our essence... and strength will begin to build in us atom by atom. End (2573).

Rest in that: Love is Hard to Define - (2572)

There is a definite art to love. There is the ‘way of love’ and the egos that we have do not know that way. They are ignorant of how to cultivate (grow) love, how to feed it (maintain), how to deepen it and how to balance it (conscious love). The many egos that we have, that are related to love, do not really know how to love… But we all know how to love… If we could relax, quieten our mind and allow the flow of love to move from inside outwards, not allowing our mind or any ego to divert, block or interfere… then we would learn how to love. The egos that we have, have their idea of what love is like or how it should be like… One point of understanding to do with love is to know that it can not be tied down or completely defined. And so all of our very clearly defined “should be this way” and “that way” leave us very confused and thinking that there is no love, all the while love is there or may be there… Love lives outside our definitions and sometimes w...
