Can You Be or Give What You Expect? - (3105)

Our concept of a friend can be such that we expect 100% trust and 100% access into their affairs.

If that does not happen then we feel set aside, an outsider, abandoned, impotent to help and betrayed with trust damaged. As petty as that sounds there are people like that.

Anyway the question is, we may expect that but do we give that or can we give that to another? 

No! Is mostly the answer. 

Even if you really want to, you can't do it all the time and if we do, do it, sometimes it just complicates things with actually costly effects, manageable, but still costly.

This suffering can be dissolved when we become conscious and we realise that we can not give what we expect and that we are not being real, we are stuck in the mind, in a fantasy - in other words asleep!

When we wake up here a bit, we give the other person 'a break' and we see that it is silly to feel all that rot that I listed in the second paragraph.

We realise too that we are not loving the other person, we are loving our stupid concepts which we are simply not fully aware of. Such rigid concepts cause us suffering and that suffering we invariable pass onto the poor other. 

Anyway I think that would be awful to give a person access to all of me with some of the rubbish that I have in my mind.

Money Test Points - (3104)

Dreams

In our dreams we can have tests about money. Here are some points, that are good to reflect on now and then. 

Usually when we are attached to something, tests or challenges come along providing some difficult moments, and those difficult moments issue a call to look within.

Points

We always have available what we need.

To give to others is for sure always to give to ourselves. If we have helped others before, when we need help what we have given to others will be given to ourselves.

You can be sure if you look after others you too will be looked after. There are immutable cosmic laws behind this such as reciprocity and cause and effect.

To spend wisely is make the economy flow. We are linked in fact to the country's and the global economy. When we retain money we stagnate the economy, the chain of benefits stops. This is to have a more of a global consciousness. But we can not just spend like crazy because we ruin ourselves and those in our lives.

We can not take money with us to the grave or crematorium. Money is not really ours because we put it inside of ourselves, but dharma or merit is ours. How we use money gives us dharma or merit.

The money that we have is a reflection of our cosmic merits.

When we have given to others and we are in need of money it will come to us without asking. When we have to ask we are lacking in merits.

To borrow money and not pay it back, incurs a debt for us. To make others work for us when we can work and not give back in some way causes us to incur debts that will be collected one day.

When we have money we can be attached to the round figure. 

It is not really having money that we like, it is the feeling that we get from it that we like. We like the feeling of it, not having it.

How to Control Sex? - (3103)

By Connecting to, Linking to and Integrating With

That's right the opposite of what many people think. Many people think that you have to go against sex and subdue it. Well that way leads to problems. When I say integrate, connect and link I do not mean indulge, roll in or revel in, I mean a conscious connection to, a conscious linking to and a conscious integrating with.

Problems Arise

Problems arise in our sexuality when we do not connect to, link to and integrate with our sexual centre.

The evidence shows us this. People have sexual problems because they allow that their sexual centre operates by itself, without connecting to it, linking to it and integrating it with their other centres and their essence/consciousness.

What evidence then? If we observe the problems that arise such as adultery, flirting, promiscuity etc. they are about aligning with the sexual centre and not aligning with common sense, logical thought, the heart or ethics, higher values etc.

Of course, the sexual centre if left without any egoic influences is a resplendent supplier of energy, it just happily supplies energy and the egos of lust are the ones that have uses for it, with a high percentage of those uses being detrimental to the person.

Even if you have no egos you still have to transmute (raise the sexual energy to the brain or heart) but you will not have all those desires to do this and that and go here and there.

Method

Conscious awareness is needed. Bring our sexual centre into our awareness. Normally, we don't do this, we do not extend fully our conscious awareness into the sexual centre. We also don't think of consciously relaxing the sexual centre either.

Using our consciousness we become aware of our sexual centre, we imagine it, we perceive the energy there, we understand that it is the natural functioning of the sexual energy to be a fount of energy. Using imagination and will, we then go move that energy from the sexual centre up our spine, into our brain and then down through a special channel behind our face into our heart. This is the connecting and linking stage.

Then we imagine and will that our sexual centre is connected and linked to our brain and heart and functions in accordance with what is relaxed, peaceful and comfortable with the functions and values of those centres. The values of the intellect are common sense, logic, reasonable, and the values of the emotion or heart are of integrity, wholeness, and integration that brings balance, harmony and contentment. Not nervousness, anxiety, depression etc.   

Mindful Embrace

We have to like consciously embrace the sexual centre, not be at war with it and see it as a good friend, and if there difficulties do persist we have to do this more frequently and with more fervour - that is with more emotion or will.

Transmutation is a connecting, linking and integrating action and also a prayer of the highest quality.

Conclusion

The issue with people is that they don't even connect, link and integrate as an action with the sexual energy to at least see how it can help.

Senses Related to Elements - (3102)

Senses and Elements

1.) Sight - Fire
2.) Hearing - Water
3.) Smell - Air
4.) Taste - Earth
5.) Feeling - Akash
 

Sight and Fire

Fire produces light and sight is about perceiving light.

Hearing and Water

Hearing depends upon waves striking the ear drum and waves need a medium to flow through and a terrific medium for all sorts of waves is water.

Smell and Air

Smell always relies on the medium of air to inhale a quantity of molecules travelling in the air.

Taste and Earth

Because taste requires the putting solid or liquid matter such as the earth into the mouth to be tasted by our tongue.

Feeling and Akash

Feeling is really complex and it has an interpretation and perception component to it as well. Feeling is triggered by the senses and also provokes memory - thus the property of Akash which is to record and store.

Political Stingray, Religion and Spirituality - (3101)

Ray of Politics

As you may know there is a ray of Politics we are told by Master Samael. It is also said that the immortal masters Count Saint Germain and Cogliostro belong to that ray.

Like every other cosmic ray, this ray - the ray of politics must have a legitimate function in life, nature and the cosmos, and certainly it does. 

If we observe carefully we can see that it is everywhere. Even in religion. As soon as there are human beings or any group of sentient beings, the ray of politics makes an entrance.

Watching nature documentaries we can see that many animals have a kind of working political system. Such as the lions, the wolves, many types of monkeys, all with their tribes, leaders, and older authority figures etc. etc.

Master Samael wrote a book called the Social Christ, indicating that the Cosmic Christ has a social and therefore political quality or role.

A Definition

So lets produce a definition of the ray of politics. It is a dynamic force, an organising force that acts to produce movement among human beings. 

It can be a revolutionary force that moves thousands of human beings for good or for bad. A tricky note, here is that the apparent bad sometimes, as history shows us ends being a good thing later, sometimes much later on. But sometimes not, making it difficult to judge, until times reveals the final result.

The ray of politics naturally as it moves within human beings in our current state of development, has to do with structure, hierarchy, power, governing, ruling, wining the minds and hearts of people so to rally their support, factions and sides. 

It has to do with magnetic charisma, knowing the needs and wants of the people, strategy on how to move people to a final aim, fights for justice... in short it can do so much good to improve the conditions that people live under. It has the power to raise a nation from dispair to wealth and health but with the same hand it can bury a nation into misery and poverty. 

The ray of politics is one that handles power, the power loaned from people and nature and the Divine Law. Obviously these two rays Law and Politics work hand in hand. The Divine Law gives the support and the ray of Politics uses the power to move and drive change up or down.

Actually in politics, where there is no change, something extraordinary is going on...

Religion and Politics

Because religion is so important for people and holds a real influence, politics enters into religion. In fact, in places on the globe there are leaders that are religious and political at the time. They are a religious figure but they govern to influence over human life issues in the running of the country or state. 

It was said in ancient Egypt that the pharaohs were actually great initiates and represented the Divine Law through their decisions. 

Often the entrance of politics into religion is seen as a corrupting force. This is because the many "I's" in the people that take power, deviate and corrupt the action of just decisions and rulings and break the balance.  

As an example, the pope and the Dalai Lama are principally religious leaders though they have a political component to their function. Obviously it is limited, because the governments are all scared of the power that a religious leader has to move people. 

Politics in Spirituality 

If there are human beings there must be a kind of politics in place. How much, how little all depends on the particular organisation. However, there must be a kind of structure and if there is a structure there is politics. The politics in place can be very useful and helpful to all, politics is not a bad thing, it is the force that moves through the structure which channels things in a way that produces harmonious actions and results.

A wise or aware political system is one that is alert to cause and effect and modifies itself in accordance with the effects that are produced by its means of acting through its methods or procedures. 

In that way a political system is a conscious body that constantly improves and adapts itself When it becomes fixed there is likely to be lots of trouble. Because life is a dynamic force and things are always changing.

Practical Reason Why To Dissolve Lust - (3100)

When the time comes that a person wants to transmute their sexual energy to the highest quality that they can possibly manage, that person will immediately understand why.

The real dissolution of lust is for those who transmute their sexual energy and wish constantly to elevate that transmutation to sublimation and wish to further elevate the degree of sublimation.

End (3100).

Mental Clutter Sources - (3099)

Sources

Here are some sources that I have noticed in myself that bring about lots of mental noise and clutter.

By the way, it feels so good to start to clear out our mental clutter.

All our possessions actually contribute to mental clutter, especially those that require maintenance (updating) such as electronics etc. I think what is even stronger a contributor to mental clutter in us is our desire to use these devices.

Desires contribute to much mental noise and clutter. Desires of any kind. Desires make the mind work so to get the mind to work out a way to fulfil them or if they can not be fulfilled just think and think about them trying that we are given a compensation for them not being able to be fulfilled.

Relationships are pretty terrible they clutter up our mind big time.

The psychological wounds of the past are a big mental clutter contributor.

Fears of of course about the future are another major contributor.

Emails are another mental clutter. Social media is another one. 

Room, Garage, House and Life Declutter

Decluttering your room then your garage and then your house - reducing things down to what you actually use is really good! 

Just a tip there, advertising things for free on gumtree is great. Put the things in a box and leave it out the front door. Wait for the inquiries, respond, then the things in a box all gone the very same day. Beauty mate!

You know something, an organised mind should reflect outwards into its surroundings!

An organised mind is a step to becoming a peaceful and relaxed mind.

Here is something from m.m.m, he says you first put your attention on your mind, then you organise it, then you relax it and then silence arrives. He is right there.

End (3099).

Thinking Worse than Doing - Happy as Larry - (3098)

Thinking about work is always worse than actually working!

That is the real life practical experience - the thinking experience is worse that the actual doing or living out experience.

We may be scared of an event or resistant to work physically, psychologically and esoterically...

According to the above truth that is all wrong, because the actual doing is easier and fun than thinking and feeling about it.

Once we get stuck in the work of something we are all ok - happy as Larry.

And another truth is that reading about working is interesting and inspiring but actually working, is understanding and realising (power).

End (3098).

Karma Ghost Train - (3097)

We are pretty scared of karma. Especially the karma that could be install for us.

It is always unpleasant to be scared. We can trust in karma and justice in that it will never bring to us more than what we have done in the past.

If we slapped someone once we are not going to get slapped twice but once.

In conclusion, when we are scared of karma we are scared of ourselves really.

What karma can bring us is circumstances and events in our human life. Sometimes we think that they will be ultra horrendous like a ghost train taking who knows where, but they will be only be as we acted in the past.

End (3097).

Consciousness Becomes One - (3096)

One property of our consciousness among the many properties - known and unknown is that it has the power to become one with something. 

We see this everyday, our free essence and consciousness become one with the arguments, protests, logic, feelings etc. of the different "I's" that we have. That is called identification. 

Our consciousness is also that which gives us identity.

We normally have our consciousness in the abyss becoming one with the different elements there. We need to lift our consciousness upwards to become one with the higher parts in our tree of life. 

To become one with Tipereth would be pretty amazing.

The thing is that we can choose what to become one with. We chose by virtue of the wisdom or the intelligence that we have deeper within us lying behind our consciousness.  

See that above Geburah which is the consciousness we have Atman - the Spirit (love), then Binah - Intelligence and Chockmah - wisdom. Those levels of consciousness decide or influence what we use our consciousness to become one with.

End (3096).

Balance is Unity - Karma Is to Unity - (3095)

Everything has a function or role to play contributing to the maintained harmony of the whole.

Remove one thing from the whole and the whole and the parts within the whole suffer. 

Nature is a marvellous example of this. Remove the vultures then the number of animal and human carcasses pile up, the number of wild dogs increase, the water ways become more polluted and blocked, and disease spreads as the increasing number of animals feeding on the carcasses increasingly impact upon the human population.

Therefore balance is about knowing what each part does and how it links in with other parts and how it contributes to the harmony or health of the whole.

Karma is exactly that and so many other things. If you hit someone, soon you are hit back. Karma fulfilled - karmic debt paid. This teaches us that to hit another is to hit yourself, further telling us that we are one, that we are part of a unity, where what we do affects others which because we part of a unity it then comes back to affect us.

Karma is really balance - which is unity. To be balanced we also have to take into account each part in the whole. Selfishness is really a big enemy when it comes to balance and unity.

End (3095).

Responsibility and Rejection - (3094)

When we suffer from some kind of rejection - it can be because we had wrongly put some kind of responsibility into the hands of another person. For example, putting the responsibility of our own happiness in the hands of another person. Then we of course get very upset. 

The way to do things is to then quickly transfer that responsibility to the right place which could be ourselves or the right person or the right cause or the right reason etc. 

As soon as we do that things change in our emotions and we understand that we create our suffering and so we are the ones that can undo it as well.

End (3094).

Images in Our Thoughts are Powerful - (3092)

When we think, we hear that voice of ours in our head speaking and we also see images.

They say a image contains a 1000 words. Well they are certainly right.

We usually pay attention to what that voice in our head is saying, but that is really only half or even less of what our mind is saying. Our mind or  rather our subconscious is speaking very loudly through the images that form part of our thoughts.

An image in our mind says lots and lots of things...

It is really good to be aware of what the inner voice is talking away about, as well as to be aware of what is being said through the images that appear in our mind.

If you do this, you will actually wake up more to what is going on in your subconscious and mind.

End (3092).

The "I" is not Polite when Threatened - (3090)

Pretty true hey? Any ego when under threat is never polite.

The essence can be polite. An "I" can be polite (only when it wants something) and the personality can be polite mostly if the "I's" allow it. 

The essence can love and does love. The personality does not love. It just has interests.

A personality to personality relationship is one that will eventually end up in doubt - it will become empty as the interests are all fulfilled and it will begin to fade or get a little spiky if the interests are not being fulfilled.

End (3090).

Imagination and Identification - (3089)

Image and identity go hand in hand. We can not assume an identity of anyone or anything without an image first of all.

Image comes from our imagination. So to get identified with anger for example, we see the image in our subconscious of the angry person (image or profile of the ego of anger) with all its arguments, logic, reasons and then we assume its identity and we become it.

Awareness of our imagination and control of it is so important in our psychological work and in our awakening. 

Identity and role go hand in hand. As soon as there is an identity through identification then there is a role. Then if there is a role there is action - the ego carries out its commitments implicit in its role.

End (3089).

Images and Scenarios - (3088)

For a person to have a scenario in their mind there must be an image or images.

There must be, otherwise there can be no scenario. Scenario and images in our mind go hand in hand.

There can be the idea or feeling of a scenario, there can be the desire to create it, but until an image appears there is no scenario in our mind.

When a scenario appears, we are then really in the past or the future...

Controlling imagination helps us to stay present.

When there is a scenario in our mind we are really identified. That is we have mostly lost our consciousness to a false identity of an "I".

End (3088).

Mastery of All through Mastery of One - (3087)

Teaching or Axiom

I have heard this statement many times and I always believed in it but never knew really in what sense it pertained to, or how it could be applied.

Well it refers to the consciousness.

Be Conscious in Small Tasks

The mastery of life is when we are the consciousness all the time. Or simply, when we are always conscious.

So then, if we can be conscious while we are doing one thing, no matter how mundane we can extend it to other things. 

As we learn how to master one task being conscious we can apply the same skills to other tasks.

Life

Life is really all about moments, tasks, events, activities and as we be more and more conscious in each of those small activities we become more and more conscious in our life and we begin to master our life.

Conclusion

Indeed "Master One Thing Master All" is a true statement!

This is really a beautiful didactic of extending our consciousness through out our life. Master one task in consciousness then extend it to bit by bit cover our life. This we can certainly do.

To be conscious we must divide our attention. Some part on what we are doing and the other part aware/knowing that we are dividing our attention. Then we let go of thoughts and make our personality passive, that is - go with the flow.

End (3087).

Sexual Energy Enhances the Focal Point - (3086)

Whatever point we focus our energies on, that point becomes energised, active and takes up space within our psychology.

As the sexual energy is a very special kind of energy, that is one that is by nature volatile and given to transformation, when we focus it on a point, it energetically enhances the qualities of that point.

Therefore if we have a higher and noble cause within us and we focus our sexual energy on that cause the sexual energy will enhance that cause within us. If we focus it on an egoic cause it will energetically enhance that cause within us - which can later be very inconvenient.

The sexual energy is neutral it does not mind where it is focused. It follows our will   or attention and does its enhancement. We sometimes think that the sexual energy has to be always be focussed on one place - the sexual centre. Well who the hell says that? No one right. It follows our will and can be focused anywhere we wish for it to be!

Gnosis advises that it be focused on our essence, our consciousness, our Inner Divine Mother - and that is the very best!!!

End (3086).

The Unbalanced Reprimand - (3085)

The unbalanced reprimand is something we have all experienced before and have even probably dished out. 

It is the case where we say don't do this and that and later on down the track we do the same thing that we told others not to do or we are actually even doing to some degree what we tell others not to do.

It is unbalanced because relative to us we are not matching our words with our actions. There is an unbalance against reality. Later on though it balances because we end up doing what we said we wouldn't so then it balances - but with embarrassment.

Usually when we reprimand based on rules we end up this way, as later one we usually come to break the rules.

End (3085).

Balance Offers Separation - (3084)

The amazing thing about balance is that it offers anyone who reaches it - separation.

The person who has reached balance in one or another area is one that is separated from both sides. The balanced person sits above both sides and consciously uses both sides in the correct proportion.

So then to be balanced one has to work to liberate oneself from both sides.

When we arrive at separating ourselves from any ego we have arrived at balance in the area of that ego.

As soon as we get separation we get a degree of balance that we must maintain through conscious efforts and decisions. As soon as we get this degree of balance we can then be conscious in that area.

End (3084).

It Seems an Overview Knowledge of Human Anatomy Does not Go Astray - (3083)

Knowing a little bit about human anatomy is not a bad thing. 

There is much of the Divine design in our anatomy and if we wish to visualize any organ in our body we need to know where it is, what it roughly looks like and what it does - as part of the whole.

Many meditations that we do are on parts of our anatomy such as the heart, the spine, the coccyx, the sexual organs, the endocrine glands, 

So a bit of a read through some human anatomy books is not a waste of time. 

End (3083).

For the One Who Loves Concentration, Imagination and Will - Transmutation is Gold - (3082)

Transmutation is the magical artifice that allows us to connect our will and imagination to our whole body as well as our essence.

For the one who loves concentration, will and imagination, transmuting enhances one's power of concentration, imagination and will.

It also allows a tangible application of these three skills. That is it offers one an opportunity to put these skills to use in a way that benefits everything in us, our body, our consciousness and our Inner Being.

End (3082).

Give Up the Criticising, People are Not That Wrong - (3081)

Because we see others as always doing things wrongly we criticise, complain and protest.

People don't do things wrong in the relativity of things. They are doing the right thing for their destiny, for their previous conditioning and for their karma. How can we expect them to be doing more outside of these powerful conditioners?

A person folds a napkin because his mother taught him to do it that way. He is folding it in the way according to his life's parameters. It is unrealistic to expect him to fold it in any other way especially if we have not taught him to fold it differently and we have not entered into an agreement that he is fold it that way.

As soon as we see them doing things right our criticism stops, and that is peace for all...

End (3081).

Why Know the Ray of the Being - (3080)

Some Think

Some think that it is not important because knowing or not knowing the ray - we still have to awaken and die, well they are right. On the other hand some think that it is important to know the ray and they are right also. So the wise thing is to take both sides and put them together and produce the following:  work intensely in mystical death and also work, though less intensely to find the ray of the Being. Once you find it use it to help you to die better, quicker and more in yourself.

In this post I am going to write about the benefits of knowing it.

Identity - Part of Your Enigma Solved

Knowing the ray of your being allows you to know part of your inner identity. Your know a lot about our personality - our false identity but very little about our real identity which is our Real Being.

The ray of your Being is also the cosmic function of the Being. Function and identity are closely related. Our Being along with the other Monads that belong to that ray give life to that particular cosmic function. Those Monads give that cosmic function its intelligence, its consciousness and its force. So Monads with certain leading qualities are those that give life to the many cosmic rays.  

How do certain Monads come to belong to a particular ray? Are they assigned to a certain ray at the dawn of creation because of their innate qualities (self-selected) or because of the learning that they still need to process or because of certain deficiencies or imbalances deep within their nature or they were made that way from within the Absolute to have those qualities - but a Monad is never made but self-made. Too difficult to answer right?

To know the ray of your Being is to have solved a part of your mystery. We are all an enigma Master Samael says that we must decode.

Focal Point

The Ray of your Being is your main focal point or the first port of call. The ray of your Being affects greatly the way in which your Being and you work on yourself. 

To know this is a big help to you because you can accelerate or fast track your work. 

For example, a person who belongs to the ray of science or wisdom will not be able to die in any "I" until he or she has discovered in their consciousness a universal truth about that the opposite of that "I". If such a person is told to dissolve lust that person must work to find how transmutation is the right and natural way of things, the right order, the modus operandi of the superior, how transmutation is a cosmic truth, how transmutation is everywhere and how transmutation is true within oneself. That is, such a person has to see the union of the macrocosmic and microcosmic truths within himself before that person can really die in that "I" of lust.

If this person has any "I" alive it is because that person has not acquired this above level of understanding in that person's consciousness regarding that "I'".

Another person may focus the death of an "I" from the point of view of balance while another may focus it from the point of view of love, where the main point will be seeing how that "I" disrupts balance or takes love away. Another may see the death of "I" as a kind of healing or remedy or therapy, and the death of an "I" is like a healing - a return to wholeness, strength, health and life.

Basically the ego takes us away from our ray and breaks its flow of expression in us and from the inside towards the outside. 

Ray of the Being is Your Law

The ray of the Being is the your law within you. It is your nature. It is what you are. It is what takes a certain leading predominance in your nature. Obviously things in life and in the work align well with our nature and other things don't. This is always a mystery to us why that is, but knowing the ray of Being helps you to get over this mystery and to know why things align well or don't align.

Of course your nature has a way of using your three brains. The ray to some degree determines the way your three brains function.

The angle of loving does not help greatly a person who belongs to the ray of science, law or death because their law, their nature is to know about ontological, cosmic reasons (law), to know about cosmic truths (science) and death to be concerned with just doing it - getting it done, making it an actuality based on law and service.

Ray has Two Sides

The ray of the Being has its opposite qualities. When we are asleep the ray of the Being expresses itself in its opposite polarity. This then gives acceleration to certain "I's". A person of the ray of force when asleep would cause a person to be quite angry, intolerant and commanding.

Many people who belong to the ray of wisdom are those of the financial type who are investors, bankers, stock exchange investors where their intelligence is used in matter, where those qualities of the ray end up being used by greed, astuteness etc.

Rays Combine

Knowing our ray will help us to know which qualities combine well within ourselves and what we need to do to relate better with other rays or qualities.

Obviously we are all a particular combination. For example, imagine someone's Being belongs to the ray of medicine, and has a planetary ray belonging to Saturn and the terrestrial ray is that of Egypt. Rather a strange combination but it can happen. We would typically think that it should go like this: ray of medicine, Mercury and any terrestrial ray. The subject of the rays is something that we don't have full information about and so it should be treated with a lot of elasticity.

This gives the main ray - the cosmic ray of the Being a special quality.

Certain rays go well together because they are needed to be combined to produce a another different function. This also works within us as well. We need two or three qualities to combine produce a certain result in us. For example, the death of the ego, we need science - observation, law - comprehension, love - repentance and finally death to produce the elimination of an "I".

Law and death go well and science and law go well too. Life and medicine go well as do Love and art. Force and wisdom are also a very powerful combination. Wisdom needs love to make it to move so to help others and to also help the person him or herself. Law needs Love to moderate and balance it and Death needs love to make it warmer and softer. 

All the rays combine in a specific order within us and outside of us. They are in fact a series in life. One ray works after another one. If the order is right - no problems. However if the order is wrong we often experience a clash.

As we are particular we can have a certain particular order of the way the different rays work within ourselves.

In general though, if we observe the planetary rays we see that they in the life of a person work in a sequence, first if life from the moon, then love from Venus, then intellect from Mercury, then the Sun, then Mars, then Jupiter, then Saturn.

Dealing with Rays

The best way to deal with or understand another who belongs to a certain ray is to bring that ray inside of you out to meet and relate to that person. Then we will understand that person well.

If you are going to work with the law the best way to relate is using balance. If you are going to work with the ray of Death then embrace or accept or come to terms with death whether it be mystical or physical.

A Higher Cause is the Leverage Point in Transmutation - (3079)

The way to cause transmutation to have its marvellous effect within us is to lever within us a higher cause.

If we are to introduce this higher cause into our centres and then transmute with this higher cause present in us the sexual energy will flow into this cause and the nature of the higher and nobler nature of the cause will help to further transform and even sublimate the sexual energy.  

So if you really want to succeed in your transmutation have always a higher cause present within. Such a higher cause is your Being, love, consciousness, your spiritual development,  your Divine Mother, the Third Logos etc. 

End (3079).

Transmutation Gives You Control Over Your Nerves - (3078)

Transmutation orders the chaos - that is the raw sexual energy in the human being becomes more ordered with transmutation. The act of transmuting aligns the cells of the sexual energy to look up and to direct themselves towards transforming themselves into subtler energy and entering the channels in the spinal column where they can soar upwards to the brain.

This ordering gives one control over the sexual energy and also control over the part of the nervous system that controls the sexual system.

Transmutation links our brain to our sexual centre in such a way that our will and imagination can travel from our brain through the parts of our nervous system to the sexual centre.

Easy Past Life Retirement Feeling Repeats: Selfish Pansy - (3077)

As a general rule we yearn for and try to experience again in this life our best moments of the past.

In our last life we could have enjoyed a wonderful retirement. Long days of nothing to do but enjoy oneself and the surroundings. No demands on our time, everything taken care of, no worries or concerns and naturally God willing (good health) we felt wonderful. 

Then we are born into this life and we wish to have the same care-free feeling. So we don't want to go to work. We look to escape and get quite bothered if we have to do things - taking us out of this blissful care-feeling. We yearn for and try always to secure for ourselves time where we can be home alone enjoying long days of peace and quiet...

Or we just like to travel - because when people retire they travel. We are quite influenced really from the way we lived the last days of our past life.

Because this care-free feeling came from our past years of retirement at the twilight of our life where we had loved a full life and had accomplished much this care-free feeling has a feeling of achievement or peace to it.

So even our a wonderful retirement from the past can lead us to create egos that when we are starting out in and working through this life are not so convenient.   

A person who died in retirement is most likely to seek retirement or as similar as he can get all of his life and the one who died on the battle field will seek the labour and toils and its rewards on the battle field in the way the Great Law allows it.

Know Your Priority - (3076)

We all have our priority in our work. Knowing this orders our work and calms the restlessness.

It is easy to find as once you find it and begin to fulfil it you reach a certain calm and togetherness.

It is just now what our essence needs... It could be meditation, long prayer, concentration, work on a particular ego...

Looking for Wisdom - Check Out the Tarot - (3075)

If you are looking for wisdom then a definite place to find some wisdom by studying the tarot and its axioms. There is wisdom there on so many levels - from the mysterious to the significantly profound.

Wisdom about life, nature, about the esoteric path and the Divinity.

If ever in trouble or difficulty look to the tarot as a source of wisdom, guidance, a balm for the soul etc.

To read Master Samael's book "Tarot and Kabbalah" is really a must. Without his help given to us through that book it is so difficult to understand much about the Tarot and about Kabbalah.

Tedious Tasks - Good for Will and Concentration - (3074)

If a person is a lover of concentration and will - then the menial and tedious tasks of life are the ones that offer us the best chances to increase our concentration and will.

These are the tasks that we don't like doing and while doing them we think and think all the way through.

However, if we are to use our will to focus we will increase our will and our concentration as well.

The basic principle is that the more we use our will and our consciousness the stronger it gets. It is all a matter of work and work just like the muscly dudes in the gym. 

End (3074).

All About Work - Not Special But Work - (3073)

Imagine that we go to a gym, we see all sorts of people. Of course you see those people who are very fit or either are very well built and can do heaps of heavy lifting and pressing etc. We make think - "impressive and special", yes and no.

They got there by working consistently that's about it. Which of course takes will, discipline and effort. However, anyone who works as they do will be like them. 

They are different yes, but not special because by following the principles or methods that took them there anyone else can get there as they did.

The Esoteric Gnostic work is the same. With the work we can get back to our original state that was free essence just as others have done. When we all have our essence free we are all the same but with our particular sacred individuality.

End (3073).

A More Aware Person is Humble - (3072)

When we are not aware we think that we don't make mistakes and that we are invincible etc.

As soon as we increase our self-observation and our awareness we realise that we make so many mistakes and that indeed we are quite frail.

This awareness brings about a kind of humility which is always born from first - seeing reality and then adhering to reality.

When we are the opposite of humble, we are proud and arrogant and we travel far from reality thinking that we are always right and that we do not make mistakes.

Precisely the karma for terrible pride and arrogance is fear, anxiety, feeling terribly inadequate, not good enough, below everyone else, not belonging etc. etc.

Notes on Recurrence - (3071)

Introduction

This post is just a compilation of some notes on the topic of the "Law of Recurrence".

Notes

Each recurrence gives our essence an opportunity for epi-genesis. That is to do something new outside of the recurrences.

Spiral and Round

Recurrences process themselves via a spiral. Via an upward spiral or a downward spiral.

Recurrences in the downward spiral combine with karma and the Law of Entropy to add more complexity and heaviness into the recurrence. 

Only with psychological and esoteric work can our recurrences take up the upward spiral. The upward spiral has increasingly less complexity, karma and heaviness.

Each recurrence is round. It has a starting point and an interval or a journey which takes us back to the starting point as the end point of the journey.

Life

Recurrences guide and constrain our life. Each recurrence sets up parameters for our life to develop within so that we will arrive at the right moment in time and space to be able fulfil the recurrence waiting for us.

Will

Recurrences are a powerful force. A force which is the force of our own conditioned will.

The force of a recurrence is also the karmic weight, which was created by the gravity of our previous actions. What we did in the past we did using our will. Then the karma in the recurrence uses the same amount of will by conditioning it to fulfil the recurrence.

Awaken

A part of our work with recurrences is to awaken to them and in them.

When we awaken to recurrences we know that we are experiencing one and we know what is coming next and then we have the option to be able to avoid their finality which may be a negative result for us or someone else.

When we awaken to recurrences we can work to avoid them. Then we can change the destiny of our life and also change the way our life unfolds.

When we awaken more to our recurrences we can see and know which ones are coming and when. What scares us is the feeling that negative recurrences are coming and we don;t know how and when they will be. We are scared of the karma implicit in them.

This is one reason why relationships scare us because we know within every relationship there are negative recurrences. "How bad will they be?" we ask ourselves.

Protected from Above

By virtue of our work on ourselves, for our inner Divinity and for humanity many negative recurrences that we have waiting are postponed or paid in a way that does not harm our work.

Recurrences are not only physical they occur on many different planes within us. On the level of thoughts, emotion and action. There are many recurrent thoughts that never enter into our motor centre for action. Though one day they will via the action of the downward spiral property of recurrences.

Essence to the Centre Yes Sir - (3070)

This post is relaying something my brother-in-law told me the other day.

By nature the essence's rightful place is at the centre of our psychology.

We know this because even when a person has the myself and its many "I's", these "I's" always gravitate to the centre of the person's psychological space to take the central control position. Each fragment of essence fights to take up that place.

The essence that is free naturally travels to the centre of our psychology and governs. Either way the essence, conditioned or free takes up central governing position. Because that is its nature. 

The Law of the centre is within the nature of the essence, along with many other laws.

Transmutation Links Inferior to Superior - (3069)

Magic Link

Transmutation is the special link between the inferior and superior powers within us.

The inferior and superior powers must unite.

When these two unite we are more integral. Transmutation among so many other things fulfils this.

In our body the superior is the heart and brain and the inferior is instinct and sex. 

When I qualify superior and inferior I do it not based on height but based on spirituality. Inferior is not really inferior because sex and instinct is what gives us life and keeps us alive, there can be no noble heart and wise brain without them. It is just that the inferior is more of matter - more human than the brain and heart which manage more spiritual in nature energies.

Key Is In Uniting

The key is in uniting the inferior and the superior to create a very powerful whole.

So when we transmute we are really bringing sex and instinct into our brain and heart which then reinforces both brain and heart. 

Magic Link Allows Nourishing as Well as Control  

Our transmutation and then the kundalini is the his energy link between brain and heart. 

This link allows brain and heart to be fed by the immensely powerful currents of sex and instinct and it also allows brain and heart to monitor and control sex and instinct.

That of Being Hermetic - (3068)

Terms

In Gnosis we encounter the words Hermetic, Hermetic seal, Hermes and Hermes Trismegistus.

The first two terms: hermetic and hermetically sealed are terms that we encounter often. The word silence is always attached to these two terms.

This is because the Great Master Hermes Trismegistus, also known as the Thrice Great God of Thoth who was the Egyptian God of magic, writing and wisdom was associated with being the first one to make a totally sealed glass vessel. Hence the esoteric and conventional scientific term hermetic seal and hermetically sealed. 

Hermes was the Greek God of Mercury, which was also the God of commerce, intellect and was also a messenger of the Gods. The Master Hermes Trismegistus Master Samael says, is intimately related to the planet Mercury.

In the Physical, Psychological and Alchemical Senses

The term hermetic has a physical, alchemical and psychological relevance or sphere.

In the physical sense it is related to keeping silent. In the Alchemical sense it is not loosing the sexual energy and in the psychological sense it is related to keeping our internal tongue (internal chatter in our mind) quiet.

In these three cases, the Alchemical sense allows our Alchemical work to progress, the psychological sense allows the awakening of the consciousness and the dissolution of ego to progress and the physical sense allows the esoteric group to become coherent, ordered and progress in trust and as dynamic unit. 

The Hermetic seal is actually a magical principle and fundamentally important magical principle. In the next section I'll explain why it is so important.

A Magical Principle

It is indeed a magical principle and this really is very helpful to understand.

As soon as we create a hermetic seal we create something. We create a magical chamber or a magical environment in which something can develop. It is very much as if we are to create an egg. Where we know the creation of life gestates and develops. If that egg or magical environment is broken what is developing within it dies.

The Cosmic egg or just the archetype of an egg is the primordial expression of the Hermetic seal, therefore it is a very primordial fundamental principle for the creation of anything.

If we lose the sexual energy we can can not create anything within ourselves using our transmutation. If we do not silence our internal chatter we waste so much psychic energy such that we can not awaken and if we speak about everything that we experience we dissipate the very powerful effects that such a mystical experience is to have on our interior.

The Hermetic seal of keeping silent allows our mystical experiences to take their maximum effect upon us. It makes sense to be silent and once the experience has effected it maximum transformation on us and no more transformation can come about we can speak helping others.

Fierce Resistance to be More Conscious - (3067)

There is fierce resistance from deep within ourselves in becoming more conscious. This is because deep down our essence knows that when we are more conscious we can no longer make the silly errors that we make now because we don't know any better.

When we become more conscious we become more responsible and any errors that we make are done knowingly and with responsibility, and therefore the karma is much more intense and painful.
