Gnosis Wisdom

When a group of people get together their minds get together. This happens because of the law of like attracts like, i.e. the Law of Attraction. When a group of people has the same goal, and a very similar way of thinking about that goal, parts of the group member's minds are attracted to together because like attracts like. As the different parts of people's minds come closer together a group mind is formed. The group mind is a connection point or a hub if you like through which the mind of each member is loosely linked to the mind of the other members.  This group mind or hub is formed in the mental dimension.  Through this hub members can sense the thinking of the other members related to the group's common interests, which are essentially the group's goals.  The thinking of a few groups members also through this hub can affect the thinking of some of the other members.  It makes sense that the more mental stability there is the more s...

Ah we look for perfect love in a woman, but it is really hard to always find it there, and a woman may look for perfect love in a man and it may be even more difficult to find it there. Lots of disappointment here and there. Well, in our Being is a place where we can find it. Where else could we find it I ask myself? In God, yes in God, but who or where is God for us? In our Being right! In our Being!!! How do you imagine your Being relates to you? Has to be through Its love right? Or could it be through a corrupted, tainted love? No! Of course not! It can't be that, that is more how we may relate to It! So It LOVES us, but that LOVE is unknown to us or mysterious to us or like out of reach to us... Look at that love of the Being for a minute, see, imagine, how could it be? Explore it widely, see your life - see how that love has guided, protected you, look and look and explore and explore through all of your life's events. Take inspiration fly and search... We may se...

Quite a few years ago, I remember when I had some ego really bad, m.m.m would look at me and say really firmly: "c'mon fight back!". Not wanting me to fight or argue with anyone but to go inside and fight the ego that was bothering me.  The truth was that I couldn't do anything, because I didn't know the keys to fight back against that ego. But I just tried anyway. Later the keys came and that made a big difference. Sometimes we have worked a lot on an ego and have it under our thumb. In this case analysing is no good at all, it is just time to use will, heart and KRIM to send it packing out of our human machine and out of the event and into the hands of our Divine viper that will sting it to death. Sometimes we know a lot about an ego but it is still well and alive, and we can say: "here we go again, that same old ego with the same old feelings, same old negative state it will take me to, I don't need that and don't want that...

Purpose What do we have vanity for? Always for a reason, there is a reason for everything in our psyche,  and to serve the ego I would say is that reason.  Essentially to serve the interests of some particular egos. To serve the self-image in our pride and to serve our lust.  Vanity by observation goes hand in hand with pride and lust. A little scary to accept, as it seems to go against our decency, but yet upon deeper observation it is true. Ah deep down in an unspoken kind of recognition we all know that it is true anyway. What it Does Vanity checks that a person is looking their smartest, coolest, funkiest, sexiest, most spiritual, most centred and collected, (depending on what one values) to have the best chance of impressing someone in particular or others in general. Vanity is the one that is in charge of arranging one's appearance. Vanity is the one that often accompanies us while clothes shopping. It is there with us at the gym, or it is ther...

In fantasy there is often a value that we are yearning for, and of course because it is in fantasy we really lack that value. Hard to accept sometimes or every easy to accept sometimes too. Find that value or quality and then look into one's life to see where that value is lacking and instead of a value being there, there is a defect. Then we have our work to be able to acquire the value and as we do fantasy about that value will finish. In fact as soon as we find the lack of the value in our life and we make real contact with that discovery fantasy has suffered a tremendous blow.  This is because we have the real and the unreal clearly before us and we know that fantasizing is not giving us that value which is really what we want and so the natural movement is to step more on the side of the work to gain that value. End (5290).

This is what m.m.m does with his day. I think that it is a very good way of using the day. First he wakes up and remembers the work. Then he commits before his Being to spend the day in awakening. He then gets to work and at various points during the day he assesses how he is going.  Note: This regular assessment is very important! Don't skip it. Come the end of the day he resolves to continue working into the next day. Giving the work a continuous line.   We can do exactly that but with something else that we need. Which could be the work on a particular "I" for example until it is dead wood. End (5295).

Introduction This is a post about the Ether and the Tattwas. A post that a little while ago I promised that I would do: see the post " The Ethers - (3524) ". So here it goes. When talking about the tattwas wE have no other recourse but to resort to the Vedic texts and Hindu philosophy and of course Master Samael's works. I have actually completed a few postS related to the tattwas which you find listed  here  for some complementary reading. The Vedic textS say that the CosmIc Mother in her capacity to give to creation has a root sound hreem , and within that sound are the three shaktis or powerS of the DIvine Mother. They are known as iccha shakti (tamas - will), jnana shakti (sattva - intelligence) and kriya shakti (rayas - action). All that is in creation is made from these three powers. These three powers or qualities are also the three Gunas. Tattwa/Tattva Tattwa or Tattva is a Sanskrit term meaning element or principle or reality. Master ...

How does a tree grow? It starts off as a seed. The seed planted in the ground, begins to first grow roots. After the roots reach a certain depth a small trunk begins to reach up out of the seed. The trunk grows up and up. Soon branches and leaves grow and only once thee trunk has reached its maximum height do all the branches extend themselves fully and sprout all the leaves they can. A tree's roots are our feelings that need to run deep into our earth - which is our body. The trunk is our action that is based on and supported by our feeling and the branches and leaves are our lofty thoughts, that once feeling and action have been established can they expand, multiply and take inspirational flight.  Of course before the deep feeling there is thought, but that thought is different to the thought that opens up and expands after feeling and action have been established. Just look at someone becoming a teacher, after thinking (fighting in his/her mind) about becoming a te...

Once the Kundalini has been awoken, by nature and by law of Fire - by law of Shakti, She must rise! Check out a flame, it always always will seek to rise. It can not do otherwise. Fire is always an upward pointing triangle. In fact the universal symbol for fire is an upward pointing triangle. Fire is energy in liberation, energy being transferred from one dimension or state to another. It is a portal from the more dense to the more rarefied or spiritual. It is very much related to birth and death. By nature the awakened Kundalini is dynamic and must move. If it does not move, stagnation stifles Her and she can fall under the danger of being extinguished and made to slumber.  That is, She can retrogress back into Her previous static state. Or even by our own error She can withdraw to slumber. For any flame to rise it needs a widening in its fueling base and an upward draft of air. The heart in us is both of two factors. It provides the fuel and the upward for...

To keep something up or sustain any kind of routine, discipline or effort one must like it. For example, a diet. To keep a diet, you basically have to like what you are eating. The same with the esoteric work. If we like it we can sustain it and keep up an esoteric discipline.  The intelligent thing to do is to make up the routine with practices that we like! But then also be double intelligent, balance what we like with what we need. End (3561).

Finally here in Perth, the online classes can jump in the lake! Zoom, Skype and Teams can stay where they belong in the interstate and international fields, but thankfully now, we can kick their beeehiiind out of the local field. I imagine there will be a short period of adaptation involved, where one now has to get oneself use to making more effort, such as preparing things to leave, jumping into the car, finding parking around the corner somewhere, braving the cold wind, facing the people when entering the centre: receiving a gamut of impressions, from straight faces, and tired faces, to smiley faces and warm enthusiastic faces. Then making the effort to not get distracted and drift off because you can't turn off the camera or mute the microphone. Then back in the car, driving home for a half hour instead of just clicking the red hang up phone symbol and taking a couple of steps and sinking into the couch. All of the above efforts were totally normal before COVID-19...

One day someone was talking to me and said emphatically "I want to speak to people who understand me. So understand me!". So I wiped the dumb look off my dial and focussed. So here I want to write for mature people, so understand what I am writing in the sense that I am writing it and as m.m.m says: "don't come to me with non-sense". Here goes: When a group of people is formed dedicated to carry out esoteric activites a certain occult formation is created. This hidden formation is a force, almost like a metaphysical group identity that is like a sum result of the force of each group member.  This hidden group force if it is strong and dynamic helps the instructor, providing the instructor with inspiration, drive, enthusiasm and impetus to overcome many obstacles and provide the group with what it needs to advance. If the metaphysical group force is weak, that is skeptical and lacking spiritual strength, the instructor will be burdened, ...

No lie, we need to meditate! To study the mind properly and to see the subtle layers of thinking that an ego presents to us we need to be still, physically, emotionally and mentally. Hence we need meditation.  We can be use to working on the fly, in the heat of the moment and that has great merit. But as we are active we are not able to dedicate all of our focus to observing the mind and catching the all important subtle aspects of an ego. To meditate we need to carve out a block of time from our day. With the work on the fly we don't need to do that. However... Scoop or not scoop? Scoop out time instead.  We need will to carve out that time slot and for 'the fly' we need will to dedicate our day to the purpose of working psychologically no matter what happens. Both need organization. One to organise our day and our mind and the other to organise our will and mind. Looks lock down is easing off here in WA, so the time that we had at our disposal i...

Recap A mantra is a sound that encloses an energy, a power that is intended to set the chanter's consciousness free from his/her mind so that the chanter's consciousness can experience and meld with the energy enclosed in the mantra.  Here is an example to illustrate the above point.  Roger chants the mantra HAR-PO-CRAT-IST. Those letters form a mantra and that mantra is a sound, and a sound is a vibration and what makes a vibration is an energy. So Roger chanting HAR-PO-CRAT-IST starts to make his whole mind sound, and because it is sounding it is also vibrating and because the mind is falling into order, Roger's consciousness will begin to detach from the mind and it will naturally begin to experience the energy of the mantra and then experience the power behind the energy.  That is how mantras work. Luke Warm We most often don't really get them to work because we lack concentration. What really gives us concentration is trust, hope, faith and hig...

Notes A few very quick lines about mantras. I think that it is good to know a bit about the science of mantras because in Gnosis nearly everything is mantras. There is a whole science of study do with mantra. It is sometimes called Mantra Yoga or Sound Yoga. The objective of mantra is to connect the mind to the cosmic mind, where our mind can then dip into the primordial sounds of the cosmos. Mantras are to cause our consciousness to lift away from our mind and to experience the vibration of a certain thing.   The word itself teaches us this: mantra is Sanskrit made up of  the two Sanskrit words: 'manas' and 'trai'. Manas means mind or thought or reflection and trai means protect or be free from. Putting these two meanings together we see that the word 'mantra' means to be free from the mind. So with a mantra we can free our mind to experience our consciousness and our consciousness can then in turn experience the sound hidden in the mantra,...

The masters and the Divine Mother for that matter, are not always all beauty and sweetness. They have a harsh side. Of course what is unwavering in whatever side they manifest, is their love. At times the love is sweet and at times it is as harsh and fierce as a barbed whip.  We can appreciate that if it is not harsh the lesson would not penetrate and no positive change would be made. Of course to receive such a harsh whip one must be mature and know how best to take it. The best way is always to take it as an impetus to change. This is how the best can come to us.  It serves no point to take it wrongly. The Divine Mother knows which side is best for us and when and how to deliver the lessons that we need to learn. She is a friend of our karma because the justice in karma cleans the essence, brings valuable lessons that clean and transform it.  So have you ever seen a person being whipped (psychologically) so to change? We find it hard to stand right? Som...

Imagine that one day the ET's appeared in plain sight for all humanity to see, just like in the movies. It would be a tremendous shock! It would shock people to the core! But with that shock a revolution in thinking could begin and from there a revolution in consciousness.  They are really the only ones now that can introduce humanity to the awareness of a greater cosmic life. A life that is of the consciousness, the Real Being and the cosmic truths and laws. Everything else for humanity as a whole has failed! Of course the governments are not going to like it and most likely attack or drive them away. Maybe when the time is right they will come. There are so many accounts of people having seen them, but it has made no difference to them and humanity as a whole. One day maybe they will appear (unfortunately at great risk to them) in such a way that humanity will not be able to brush them aside, but instead stop and drop to their knees in awe. End (3554).

For sure each Gnostic group and institution has their particular qualities. How can we deny that?   Some Gnostic institutions have many who are on the path giving them a high value. A particular institution may lean more towards the first factor and another may lean more towards the third. Anyhow each institution has before the white lodge their particular value and qualities, making one more suitable for a particular mission or function than another. Some to build rapidly new points of light, some to maintain and intensify the light through hard work and sacrifice and others to protect the light etc. etc. All the Gnostic associations, centres, groups and institutions are branches or arms of the White Lodge. Each arm is there for action, there to fulfill a task. Mostly the same task, but perhaps a different one for a short period of time. End (3552).

Imagine that all the Gnostics were on an island. How would it be?  It would be like a big long retreat in some ways. Where we are all dedicated to work on ourselves. Doing practices, receiving and giving talks and enjoying the time in between to work hard on ourselves. That's the ideal. But then there's the ego. But then there is the nice harmony of everyone dedicated to the same cause. If there's the ego there's all the help needed to overcome it. Imagine the masters are there as well, to guide, illuminate and protect us all. Obviously the conditions would be nothing like we have here in our countries, cities and homes. The problems always arise in the kitchen, in the cleaning, in the rules, in the sharing of facilities, in the roster, in the queues, in the organisation of things, in the differences, in the past, in antipathy and sympathy, in the relativity of things - why are you first and me second? It could work couldn't it? As long as t...

About It's an interesting thing that there is a ray of liberation. Could it be that the Absolute knew that a ray of liberation would be necessary in creation? So, if the Absolute knew that it will be necessary, it knew that in creation there will be some kind of trappings or chains of enslavement. The Hindu yogis say that the Divine Mother is the one that binds and liberates. The essences who descend into creation are bound to creation to fulfill the role of animating the creation of the Cosmic Mother, yet it is her that also awards freedom from it. One condition of liberation is to liberate oneself first, or either to liberate oneself enough to be able fight for the liberation of others and in the process attain one's liberation as well as the liberation of others. What purpose would the ray of liberation serve if it was only for a single person? If there is a ray in creation it is there to serve others. Service to others is in every ray. We can only really be jud...

There are two ways to get to higher states of Being. One is by our own effort and the other is by Divine Grace. Some spiritual teachers say that our own effort leads to the second - divine grace.  In Gnosis, I believe that view is also taken. So much relies on our own efforts. End (3551).

Introduction to the Introduction This post is only an introduction to this way of liberation that Master Samael actually gave a talk about. This talk can be found within the pages of the two tome publication titled: "El Quinto Evangelio" under the transcribed lecture called "Las Dos Vias de Liberacion". So this way of emancipation Master Samael says is for those who feel that they can not do the way of liberation with realisation. That is the way of liberation via the three mountains. So there exists another way to liberate oneself. The way of the path of the three Mountains is not the only way. However, as with everything there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantages and disadvantages can be discussed in a later post. In fact they really must be discussed. Common Emancipation by Comprehension The point I was wishing to make is that the Absolute in its mercy was able to secure for the essences a second way of liberation. It is called Maste...

Integration Introduction First thing is first, integration is the best policy with our Being. The path takes us through successive stages of integration to the Being. The sexual energy is of the Being and so going towards the Being also implies integration with the sexual energy. There are levels and levels always. No matter where we are there is a level of integration that we can aspire to and work towards achieving. Obviously before doing that, the prerequisite is to know where there is not integration. Transmutation though, not only to do with the sexual energy is the conscious means of integration. That is transforming that which is not integrated into that which can be integrated. Lead can not be integrated into the Spirit but lead transformed into gold certainly can be. A very self-defeating and ruining thing in life is to fight against reality. Against what is! The best is to love and integrate with reality in whatever form reality is confronting us...

At work they asked the team to do the personality test at: www.16personalities.com for a bit of fun. After several questions and like 10 minutes or so you get your results (Defender ISFJ-A). Actually not bad at all really. Quite revealing. For sure it reveals things about our human personality but for sure also things about our psyche. It gives us some insights into how our psyche uses our centres, how some of the egos we have significantly influence our visible nature and it can shed some light onto some of the roles and positions that we have taken up in life. I think that it can give us some insightful threads to pull on to delve deeper into our psychology and if so willing work to make some big and noticeable changes. End (3547).

We all know this already. Sometimes when we have a problem or an issue to solve, we hope another person will solve it for us.  We look that they will perhaps give us their approval to do something, or help us or even solve it for us. Most of the time this just can not be. We are the one's that have to help ourselves. This can sound impossible, but there is no other honest option. Especially if it concerns our life and our choices. So that which we are needing to solve the problem, we have to be the one who gives it to ourselves, and most of the time therein is the solution. The problem of having both the ego and the work at the same time or the problem of having two privileges at the same time can not always be. One of these things has to go at some point down the line, and mostly it is for us to choose. End (3545).

The blunt answer is via the ego or via the essence.  The essence sees another over a wider range provoking many feelings from just normal to respect, to gratitude, to appreciation, to kindness, to compassion, to love etc. The ego on the other hand has a precisely dual perception. We may see someone agreeable and nice and then after an ego happens we see them ugly and nasty. But they are the same. I really try not to believe the illusion that the ego projects making another person seem sharp nosed, hawk eyed, thorn tongued, nasty and just plain old difficult.     It is an illusion, which after all can be broken in seconds. The other person gives you a hug and then the thick smoke of illusion has been swept away and they are agreeable and nice again. End (3544).

When we forget there is a reason that a cat meows constantly or a person is upset or a baby cries and cries we are already getting angry. There is a reason why a person is upset or annoyed, there is a reason why a cat meows and why a baby cries.  Anger appears in a person to quash with the use of force that which is without apparent reason.   I mean quash the cat meowing for no apparent reason by putting it outside and closing the door and saying: "fix yourself up seeya". Anger does not see a reason why a person is late, why a person is scared or irritated. Anger in a kind of arrogant attitude says that there should be no reason why a person is late, scared or annoyed etc. We can avoid anger big time if we remember there is a reason and then if we instead of anger (misdirected force) look to find the reason and address the wrong. Rather than hit out and make hitting out the solution to the problem. Of course it is much easier to get angry as the ...

Closer to Divine Mother I should have really posted this in Easter time. Nevermind though. It is always worthwhile knowing some different ways to approach our Divine Mother. Sometimes we just want to be close as we can to our Divine Mother. To receive her help. To receive guidance from her, to be given a clear direction from her to solve our confusion on what to do. To feel her presence with the protection and assurance that it brings. To receive her wisdom that will be as a balm to heal the hurting of an ego. The courage to push through the right solution to a problem. In our times of need it is really helpful to know some ways to be close to our Divine Mother. When we really pray hard with all our sincerity we will reach our Divine Mother. We know this and because we know this we feel hope.  We pray with great sincerity and we go to sleep with hope that tonight when we sleep our Divine Mother will show us what to do, she will impart to us the wisdom we need. ...

Not sure if you have ever watched the Monkey Magic series years ago. Anyway the rebellious but good Monkey wears a golden band around his head so that if he becomes disobedient Buddha up there in the clouds begins to tighten it giving him a huge head ache. We have something like that in our essence. When we are rebellious, disobedient and neglectful in the work of dissolving a particular ego something in us feels the pinch. This pinching is not done through an external golden head band but through our essence. Our own essence feels restless and uncomfortable. End (3540).

This old tarnished and oxidised brass pot is us - the human being. It has been sitting outside under the elements for many years in the backyard and now looks nothing like brass. It once was a gloriously shiny yellow brass pot. Exactly as we were once. But through time, from since the fall we have our light so covered over with personality, mind, karma and the many big fat egos that we have that the sparkle and shine is no where to be found. So with a bit of work we can restore it back to its former glory. When we polish or whiten the brass, which is an Alchemical saying, meaning to refine our sexual energy and eliminate our defects, we become a point of reflection as well as a point of light. Just like a star. That's our daily work on ourselves with the help of the Divine Mother. It takes its time, just like this pot will take a month of daily work to get it shiny. The main thing is daily work! I started polishing today and with a bit of elbow grease each day it...

I'm sure you have, you have a human heart beating there in your chest. In a few magic moments an opening appears in ourselves. An opening of a certain tenderness for the soul of another...  The fibres of our heart exposed, without a shield, tender and sincere, emitting a feeling outside of differences in personality, life circumstances, the past... A feeling powerfully free, with nothing to dampen or obscure it.  Sometimes though, it is better to keep that feeling quiet as others yet may not understand or appreciate that. But those who know it in themselves will respect it. For the essence of others and in honour of the love in our own essence, to remember and pray for another is a sublime recognition of  the unity of all of us despite human differences.  These openings for others are a good sign, yet that within us which opened our heart does not mind whether this is a good sign or not. Maybe we have cried for someone who we thought was spira...

This is not a bad mantra.  It is true after all and it is a good mantra to counteract self-compassion and self-deprecation.  There would be no redemption if we could not evaluate ourselves and correct ourselves. We would not be here as simple as that. Those egos mentioned above are the ones that always forget the fundamentals. If we remind ourselves that when those dorks are around in our psyche, we can nudge them out of our human machine. End (3539).

I was talking to m.m.m yesterday and he remembers a certain cockatoo that was trained to insult the neighbour using Croatian swear words, whenever that neighbour would be in his backyard. The neighbour become so insulted by it that he filed a complaint that went all the way to court. In the end they had to take the cockatoo to court, let it see the neighbour and have the swear words translated by an official interpreter. So goes the list of strange cases brought before the courts and official translators. Anyhow that all brought back memories of a 'bandido' cousin that had a cokatoo and he did the same thing, trained it to say: "Hello cocky, dance cocky and something or rather else". So that older cousin was one that gave me some misguided lessons in life. I think we have had in one way or another a similar person early on in our lives. For sure we have to unlearn those lessons and dissolve the impressions and egos that were created or strengthened. ...

Not Coming Back Discussed I honestly think it is worth discussing in a bit of detail - this aspect of the topic of liberation that has to do 'with not coming back'. I think it is worth discussing because we can honestly not sit too well with that part of liberation S that says we are not coming back. This in my opinion is due to a bit of a lack of explanation or analysis. So then, with a bit analysis it all changes, the heavy dark clouds part and the sun shines again. Scared and Upset Deep down we can be scared of the liberation, and in our subconscious obviously something disagrees with it and in time we can start to feel unhappy with Gnosis, logically because it is taking us somewhere that we are not really happy E about going. Once again, this situation changes totally when we look into what liberation is. That is, analyse it a bit. Liberation Reminder Liberation Master Samael says is processed by way of liberation first from life , from nature and from t...

When we focus we can to do some liberation.  For example, when we grit our teeth and clench our fists and say: "stuff this mate, I am going to go relentless and get myself free from these awful emotions and weird outlook on life and feel something different from now on". Then we give ourselves focus and that focus of our energy and will throws us towards liberation.  Moral of the story for liberation we need focus. Just look at any of the great liberators of the past,  I mean those who liberated entire countries from their oppressors, just see how possessed or ultra-focused they were with their cause. End (3536).

Liberation and Teaching Liberation is the base of teaching. Liberation is very contagious. It is the thing any human being wishes to pass onto another. We can only pass on what we have. What we don't have we can not pass on. To help liberate others we need to have some liberation. The bodhisattwas of compassion have as their main job the liberation of the essences of others. How do they achieve this? Working to awaken and fix the love of liberation in others and giving them the wisdom (teachings) to make this love of liberation take fruition. Who doesn't love liberation. All of us dislike in our natural essence fibres - oppression. I want to emphasise that the main oppression is the darkness inside of ourselves bearing down on us. It is not someone else. If it is someone else that is making our life difficult just get up and give them and earful and be done with it. And then you will see that your oppression continues... End (3534).
