Gnostic Esoteric Study & Work Aids

The conversations we have every day offer us so many chances to work in mystical death. Conversaton equals self-observation. We have to not let a conversation go without making an effort to use it to get a mystical death conclusion of the conversation. Every conversation in us at least should end with a conclusion that says to ourselves or to another person or persons: "ok well I learnt that I have to die in this and that". If we do this we can stop having what is called time wasting and useless conversations. End (4609).

Consciousness is perception. We want clear perception. Our perception always works, the question is what glasses is our perception working through? If it is ill-will our perception will always be wrong and very unbalanced.  Ill-will sees eveything as bad but not everything is bad. It can not see duality. If our perception be through good-will we will not get things as wrong as when our perception is taken through ill-will. With good-will as our perception the effort to correct it is not as great as when it is ill-will. Ill-will sees eveything in a particular way. In the way that everything is an error, wrong, negative and consequently this leads to the creation of many negative attitudes and stand points.  There are much stronger and heavier egos that keep ill-will in place than good-will. If we have a choice between good-will and ill-will we should chose good-will. That is for our benefit.  We don't choose good-will because we think it is to benefit the other person or o...

Introduction The magic key to success is the centre of gravity. Wherever the centre of gravity is, success will come. In any area of life, human or spiritual where there is someone who has attained success or has reached the pinnacle of their chosen field they have their centre of gravity in that field.  This post is about the importance of the centre of gravity and about how to transfer our centre of gravity to the work. Centre of Gravity Everyone has a centre of gravity. Some are very well defined and so are easy to see while others are not as well defined and therefore more difficult to see. We don't often know that we have a centre of gravity and we don't know where our centre of gravity lies. In general in life people have their centre of gravity in their personality and often people do not know it. We don't need as such to create a new centre of gravity we actually need to transfer it. Because we all have a centre of gravity. We can also create a new centre of gravity...

Hope is more importnat than we think. To lose hope is equivalent to losing our essence. As soon as a human being loses hope for anything - really grave things happen... What is important for us whenever we find ourselves in a very low state of consciousness is to know that a way to get out of it is to grab onto hope once again.  If we are in a low state of consciousness in relation to something grab onto hope related to what we are low in or grab onto hope in relation to something else. We just have to grab onto hope once again!!! Then the power of that hope will do its magical work and take us quickly or slowly out of that state. End (4606).

Human beings indulge in food, in sensations, in impressions, in sleep, in laughter, in many many things.  Indulgence usually has negative consequences due to breaking balance, and so from experiencing those negtive consequences many times over, we learn about the virtues of moderation.  The exact same applies with negative emotions and negative states of mind or consciousness. It really helps us to not indulge in negative internal states. We need to do our best to leave them behind, to displace them, to forget them, to change them. Being negative for too long is way more harmful than we think and can see just now. In the near future it will catch up to us and boy is it hard work to undo! End (4605).

All the seven plus four bodies have their centres. The seven solar bodies plus the four kayas.  Imagine the that the intellectual centre of the Dharma kaya would work in the way the galaxy works according to the laws and principles of the galaxy. End (4604).

When we define ourselves we become very alert. Because serves the yearning. First is the yearning then the yearning calls forth what it needs to be realised. True yearning comes from high up in the tree of Life and from there it can call... End (4603).

Notes Miscellaneous We have our identity and centre of gravity in the personality. The personality is false. There are many people in the world that have the same name as us. Our name, our nationality, our religion, our profession yet we are all different people. Our won real true and unique idetnity is our essence. If we try to use our energy wisely we will discover that pacifying the personality is necessary. The major factor that makes it false is relativity. If we dissolve the conditioning of relativity we remove a way for the personality to express itself.   The personality has good ponts such as communication adn punctuality however we may not transfer them to the work because our centre of gravity is not in the work or either we have to internalise these values which are not easy to do. For example to transfer punctuality to the work it would mean to work on our egos and the impressions straight away.   It is an energetic structure that has certain egos has its ingredie...

The world we live in is not perfect. There are so many factors. To think in terms of ideals in this worlds is right and not right. We have to hold the ideals - like the truth for example until the point that our efforts do not exaggerate and turn detrimental.  To think in terms of ideals causes many clashes and creates a lot of extra work that ends in us being stuck. To think practically is much more efficient and liberating and actually real.  End (4601).

Issue The issue with the personality is that it is a strong conditioning factor. Its conditioning factor is such that it makes it very hard for us to accept something or go along with something that our personality does not like. Refined Personality The personality certainly changes over the course of our life. Basically what changes are the level of its horizontal values. The values are all horizontal life values but they change from wearing very casual worn out clohtes to more formal wear - jackets and blazers etc. From the pub to the cafe'. Really what we do over the course of our life related to the personality is "polishing a ball of excrement". Pacify Personality What helps is to pacify the personality. That is the work that we need to do with it. To know how to pacify the personality we must know when it is active. Once we are aware that it is active we can then relax adn pacify it. The key is spending less time in the personality. The less we spend there the more ...

Introduction Objective of these three posts (4570. 4595 and 4598) is to highlight why we don't transfer our values into the work and why we keep them in the personality. Disclaimer If any points in this or other post hurt or offend it is the personality reacting. Background Purpose of the personality is 'to do' life well in time and in space. In and for life it is great, but in the spiritual work it is a real interference.  Gnosis teaches us that the personality needs to be pacified and later dissolved so that our essence can awaken and relate directly to the Inner Being without any interference. Interferes with the Work In general the personality interferes with the work by transferring the patterns of life and the personality onto the work. Where they do not match and how we add things and do things because of the personality that are not esoterically correct. Examples of how the personality interferes with the work. Examples per centre. Life is what we do in our centres....

Like a donkey. That's what donkeys do. Work all day tilling the land. We think just lust and gluttony is animal, but there are so many animal characteristics that we gladly take on the pursuit of modern life. End (4599).

No matter what area of life or spirituality - if we make it the centre of gravity of our life we get triumph. All those who have succeeded in their goals have done so by making their goals, their centre of gravity. That is often the struggle - to make our goals the centre of gravity of our life. Often once we do things are much easier!  People feel the 'uphill' battle when something is not the centre of gravity. End (4597).

We all think that it is in the work and the essence. However this is not always true. To be know really there is a way that never fails. a simple way to tell. Just take one normal day of your life. Observe it closely and note that down all that you do. Note down all that you think.  Our centre of gravity will appear when reviewing all that we did and thought during the day. What we did and thought about mostly is our centre of gravity. Irrefutably and undeniably. We have to do this exercise to know exactly where our centre of gravity is so that we can actually change it. Meanwhile we are deceiving ourselves thinking it is in the work when it is in life we are going no where! End (4596).

Angry outbursts where we react to something someone says are mechanical! Anything that is mechanical can be overcome!  We think that because what someone says or implies is so meaningful, unforgiveable, so wrong and so offensive, to react angrily is not mechanical. We may find with retrospection that we have reacted in the same way many times before. If so it is therefore mechanical! What is mechanical is a program. It just reacts to a thought that we generate from the impression of what another person says. The mechanical reaction is not hurt or offended. Something else in us is.   Anyway - the meaning of this post is to say that once we come to know that anyone of our reactions is mechanical, it is time to end it! No more mechanical reactions like that ever again! Not outside and not inside of ourselves! No matter what happens or is said, that mechanical reaction is not needed, it is not helpful and it is not the intelligent and conscious answer of our essence or Being!...

Introduction Never really knew what the Kalkian personality was and never thought it was much of a issue. Knowing a bit more about it, it is indeed a real condition that any person can develop. I dare to say that there are many people in Australia that develop the Kalkian personality. This post presents notes on this type of personality that Master Samael mentioned. It was Gurdjieff that actually mentioned it first. Notes This personality is the common human personality mixed with esoteric studies. This type of personality, knows a lot about esoeric things. It is very knowledgeable. It is usually about knowing more and being less. This personality type does not seriously take up the path.  It sees the path in accordance with the conveniences, patterns and norms of the common human personality. It then does the work mixing the esoteric with the values of the common human personality. Due to this mixture it does not allow the person to embrace the path as it is and it often finds off...

Making our mind a quiet open space. Then what begins to become more and more clear in that open space is our essence. Keep being that essence supported by the mind being a quiet open space then we look into the essence.  Then what we are and what we feel is our Being... This experience of course will be different each time and reveal different things each time.   Let go of many concepts - the Being is up there, in there, over there, way over there, no where etc. Start with quiet kind open space. The mind does not know where the Being is - but quiet open mind space leads us there. Another paradox. End (4592).

The way to talk to respond to others is to separate from the egoic reactions in ourselves to what people say to us and then respond to them with the right value and or state of consciousness.  Doing this we don't catch any of the egoic hooks that the other person throws to us from their subconscious and we also provide a mini shock to their consciousness which automatically makes them to look to another state of consciousness - a less egoical one. End (4593).

Gnosis is knowledge through experience.  Gnosis is practical. Gnosis comes from direct experience. Knowledge from direct first hand experience. Gnosis is inner knowledge. Not knowledge of the external. As the internal knowledge is what matters most, as it is the only one that can transform us. Knowing is better than believing. Gnosis is not to believe. It is to know. A knowledge that is infinite and alive, always renewing and renovating itself.  A knowledge that is beyond time and space.  A knowledge that we know through the consciousness. It is Self-knowledge of the deepest parts of ourselves known through our consciousness.  A knowledge of our Inner Being, beyond our human personality. The two columns of the knowledge are tradition and revelation. Tradition verifies revelation and revelation renews and keeps the knowledge alive adapting it to current times. Gnosis is not a belief nor a dogma. What is taught in Gnostic study can be directly verified by all. Gnosis i...

Build a hierarchy of thought. With the work, the path and the Being as the discerning hierarchy.  All that pertains to the above three factors put at the top and all that doesn't put at the bottom. Then dedicate to fulfilling the thoughts and activities of the work, the path and the Being first and later if there is time to the other things.  When we do this we really feel our mind organizing and being organized correctly, and it opens up the way to conscious action. We make our days much more deliberately conscious. End (4583).

No doubt talking wastes a lot of energy. The more we talk about something the less likely it is that we are going to do it. As we waste the energy needed to do it. To do something well we need creative energy and gossiping wastes that. As gossiping itself is rather creative, but creative in a slant that is only partly true and which mostly leans towards the negative. The more we talk about a lecture in our mind the worse the talk is, when actually delivered for real. Because we have used up our creative energy and it is more often mechanical in nature - like pressing play on the tape. There is an "I" of gossip. This "I" enjoys gossiping and can spend hours doing it and it can even take up decent blocks of a person's day. To gossip often is to enter into speculation and subjective opinion. Being strict with the mind about what it actually knows we see the activity of gossiping being reduced to a sentence or two. The action of gossiping weakens us. It strengthens ...

There is unconscious suffering, conscious suffering and prepared suffering. Unconscious suffering does not have value. Conscious suffering has great value, as through it, we can work towards perfecting ourselves.  To suffer consciously we need to know what makes us suffer. Do we know what makes us to suffer? The way of conscious suffering is to know how to make wise use of suffering. Conscious suffering is like fire that tempers steel. It is the fire of conscious suffering that tempers and crystallizes the virtues in us. Without that fire of conscious suffering the values would not be able to be crystalize in us.  We suffer consciously to become conscious. When we are conscious in the areas where previously consciously suffered suffering subsists. The work is voluntarily subjecting ourselves to temporary suffering to liberate ourselves from vast expanses of suffering. Pleasure that is not earnt turns into suffering. Such a truth. It is very karmic for us to pass suffering ont...

Not a leader in the sense that in whatever situation, the missionary takes over and takes the lead or fights to take the lead mechanically... an unwise leader. In the sense of where there are values that are not of the work (spiritual ethics) or pertain to a low quality of work, then by virtue of the doctrine and the work, the missionary takes the lead, to lead the situation into a higher octave with much better outcomes for all involved. This is successfully done co-operating with others and others co-operating with the missionary. End (4590).

Question: Why such painful breathing all the time? Answer: Because of stressful or painful thoughts.  Result: Constant checking of the quality of thought and dropping the negative thoughts. There are so many lines of negative thought that we think during the day and we are not aware of it even if we are 'observing' ourselves. To focus our self-observation on the quality of thoughts we will learn a lot and change a lot. End (4585).

There are good reasons to say that this Divinity is close and to sincerely invoke him is valuable. For anyone who has values of the fire means the God of Fire can help us more deeply. End (4587).

Objective The objective of this post is to present some notes on how skepticism hinders the work of our essence and Monad. Some of these notes were presented at the retreat.   Skepticism Introduction Skepticism is a conditioning factor and also an "I". As a conditioning factor it conditions our perception and mind so that we tend to not accept any external or internal claim. It is all about believing. Skepticism works not allowing us to believe that something is true, because instead it believes that everything is a scam, a lie, a trick or a conspiracy etc. People who really like conspiracies have skepticism. It seems like they don't have it but they do in the direction of disbelieving in goodness and honesty etc.  We are generally skeptical about a thing's capacity to be true.  Skepticism is a lot about capacity! We see the truth of the above statement when it comes to people. We are skeptical about a person's capacity to do something, we are skeptical about the ...

Introduction Some notes on the mysteries of life and death. This time focused on the more esoteric aspect of these mysteries as taught in Gnosis. Notes Process of recapitulation. Within death is recapitulation. Recapitulation is a part of death. Just before anyone of us dies - our whole life flashes past our consciousness. Death is an energetic ray that emanates from within the cosmos. It is an energetic ray of high voltage that no one can withstand.  The action of this ray is to breakdown. It actually liberates the essence or the vital essential from: the physical and vital bodies and from all the experiences that the body has allowed one to pass through. The action of the ray of death is just like how a few drops of essential oil are obtained from a large quantity of rose petals. It extracts the vital essential. It extracts what must continue - no more nothing less. It is mathematical in its exactitude. Recapitulation allows the essential or the consciousness to be extracted from...

There are some things that are not to be comprehended in detail, but comprehended to know that they must be let go. Why did a person say this or that or do this or that. We don't know and we may never know and understand why. However, we comprehend that we don't understand and may never understand and the best thing for all in all the spheres is to let it go.  When working on the ego we need to do this. With some egos more than others. End (4584).

It is good to know the practical psychological and spiritual value of things.  It is better to relax the mind for five minutes than not do anything. It is better to at least read from an esoteric book at night before sleeping than just going to sleep. It is at least better to have prayed a minute during the day than have done nothing. The best thing we can do is to have died in something during the day. It is better to have used the events to work on ourselves than have gotten identified.  It is to better to have been kind than tough. People remember kind years later even into the next life. It is better to practice for five mins than talk for 60. Some minutes of true silence both inner and outside gets one closer to the solution than hours of writing and talking. Strengthening our relationship to our Inner Being is an uncountable number of times more valuable than strengthening the relationship to any "I".  Getting up early is better than sleeping in when not really need...

Sometimes peace is unsettling to certain "I's". They feel that things are too impersonal, that there has to be drama of some sort to know that things are alive and they are still there. I think this is because some "I's" live and feed off drama. They need for their survival the impressions of problems, difficulties, drama and intense emotion. All because those "I's" have forgotten how the consciousness feels, that it knows about peace and is able to maintain peace inside of us and further more it allows us to live in peace.   End (4581).

To the common person life and death is indeed a mystery. We don't know how and why we come to life and how and why we leave the field of life. Essential to know so to liberate ourselves from the fear of death. The fear of death conditions our life terribly and is behind so many other fears, anxieties and worries... Death is liberating and life is accumulating. We learn more from psychological death than from life. As a balm to the soul when someone in our life dies read the teachings that Gnosis has about life and death. Life and death are always together. They are twins. Life and death are legitimate and very much needed forces and happenings everywhere in creation.  Death is everyone's crown. One life with many births and death. Life is a stream of energy and consciousness from the Absolute. Life is our essence. Our body is what is born and what dies. We are the essence. The core of the mysteries of life and death is understood when we know that we are an essence that has a b...

Personality does not have a place in the Alchemy. It conditions and interferes with that work.  Personality places a determining role in normal sexuality and infra-sexuality. This is because sexuality is a way of relating and the personality contains the ways of relating for the space and time in which we live. In the Alchemy however, personality is a conditioner and an interference. It essentially blocks one from having access to their Divine sexual energy. More about this point in future posts on the topic of working on the personality. End (4569).

If something trips up, gets messed up or goes pear shape we need to be practical. Quickly learn the lessons and then forget it and carry on. Exactly like ice skating performances or competitions. Where often the solo competitor or one of the duo  slips and lands on the ice, but quickly gets up and carries on. If they were to stop argue and lecture their coach or partner they would be totally disqualified.  As soon as they get up they are given the chance to finish their routine, receive a score and even win first place if the others have also fallen onto the ice or the fall was not so bad. The same in life, the work and the path. Quickly get up and learn. End (4579).

That the things of outside help us spiritually. That is why we pursue, visit, buy, try, consume, have and do external things instead of internal values. End (4578).

Visualizing is extraordinarily powerful. It really heals and gives results in so many fields of life. In terms of our inner work it really helps us to connect to, to enter into, to feel and to come to know the different parts of our inner worlds.  It helps so much to even connect to the organs of our physical body, of which we often have very little connection to. It is a really powerful tool to use to connect to our Inner Being. We just need persistence, patience and time to develop and strengthen the connections we make with our and through our imagination. End (5358).

When we pray with all our three brains aligned our prayers leave us and travel to where we wish for them to go. When our brains are not aligned our prayers stay in our atmosphere and don’t go to where we wish for them to go.  If we are praying for someone to get healed and our brains are not aligned our prayers don't even go to the internal worlds and so how can we pray for someone who needs help to be healed when our brains are misaligned.  When our prayers go to for example England we can then really pray for the King of England.   End (4577).

We can be so brilliant intellectually, understand so much and be so insightful yet fail so soundly when the moment comes to die in ourselves. There are people in Gnostic groups that are silent and look 'useless' but when the moment comes to die they really die.  I think that is what is really valuable for the path, someone who 'gives' to the path when the path calls them to give. That is the person who you really want to assocaite with for the benefit of your path. End (4576).

A conditioned mind can't see anything freely and can not accept anything that it sees as 'wrong'. Because it is conditioned to accept only what it sees as 'right'. A conditioned mind only ever places and imposes conditions. Because it can not handle 'free'. But yet it can not stand being conditioned and wants to be 'free'. An unconditioned mind which is a free mind can 'live' with everything within reasonable limits. Whereas a conditioned mind is mostly unreasonably sensitive and can cope with very little outside of its narrowing limits. The very interesting thing is we are even conditioned by the 'natural', and the 'correct'. This is a big conditioning and eventhough the conditioning is about what is 'correct' and 'natural' it does not lead one to awakening or to the liberation of the consciousness. Because the 'natural' and 'correct' are conditions of one's own mind and they are not the co...

It is true that life, the work and the path have their different laws.  It is also true that life, the work and the path all share some laws. For example, the law of honest hard work. To better understand the difference in laws, imagine you are to appear in a human court of law and then in a Gnostic court of law. In a human court of law you will be judged by the human laws of the country. In a Gnostic court of law you will be NOT judged by the human laws of the country but by the laws of the work. To have gotten angry and remained in seething 'tight lipped' silence and 'folded arm' stillness for half an hour would be: 'case dismissed' in a human court of law, as no human laws were broken. In a Gnostic court of law the principles of non-identification, self-remembering, changing centres, awakening, separation, conserving energy, lifting out of the abyss, seeing the bigger picture, seeking out the better in relativity and time wasting were ignored and done the opp...

The teachings say that through myth we can get access to the superior emotional centre, and through symbols we can access the superior intellectual centre. Meaning that myth and symbols are the language of these two centres.  Certainly through myth and symbols we can appreciate the beauty of the four pillars. Which are: art, science, philiosophy and religion.  These two languages are an expression of the four pillars of Gnosis. Meaning Gnosis speaks authentically to the superior centres as well as the consciousness of the human being.  End (5366).  

Basic Points Each centre has two polarities. A positive and negative pole. Inside each centre is the other centres. The balance and the right relationship to the events of life comes all through the centres of our human machine,  The ego uses the wrong centres and the wrong polarity of the centres and this makes us to realte wrongly to the events of life. Using the centres in the right way allows us to isolate the ego. The consciusness in us is the one which can balance the centres. When we align the centres in any given activity we isolate the ego from our human machine. We are present when we align the centres. We pray truly when we align the centres. When we align the centres we eliminate contradictons. Meaning the egos do not play with us anymore. When we balance the centres we complete everything in balance that we do. We need to forge the right relationship to the events and activites in the various areas of life through the right and balanced use of the centres. We have to k...

If we won't to do the vertical the more elements we add to our plans the more we will lose control and the more it will tend by entropy to be horizontal. For example we want to concentrate on dissolving an "I" that really pains you, then just that simple plan of going to the meditation room and concentrating is it - that's all. As soon as we add: a lighting a candle, burning incense, having a cup of tea, putting on music, setting the timer, writing it down in a diary, stretching a little we've lost it. We will end on the horizontal - not doing anything maybe 15 minutes which is what people do in life to reduce stress to better face their work day. The vertical is simple and by being simple we increase our chances and we get there, be there and do it. Sometimes too, to be simple we need to make a will to be simple a little radical. A wishy washy will tends to the horizontal. End (4571).

Unity always and everywhere, no matter who or what is united, guards against any kind of infiltration of a foreign force. If we don't want to be infiltrated with the opposite quality we need to be united in all our centres, senses, psychology and cells in the one quality that we want to be. End (4566).

Lunar and solar atoms have their very particular feeling. When you have felt both atoms you would agree that solar atoms feel much better and are better for you, in body, mind, soul and spirit. Lunar atoms have their attraction and for a while they feel 'good' but after a while they don't and as they accumulate they begin to make us more lunar to the point that we instinctively dislike anything solar. Which for the solar worker becomes a problem. We notice the feeling of each when the two natures come into contact.  The lunar atoms produce resistance, irritation, objection, they like to argue and fight, they oppose and they dislike. To feel such things inside of us when we have to stop watching TV or get off the internet and go to a Gnostic class or go to practice meditation or go to work on the death of our egos is really unpleasant and feels as if there is some other nature inside of ourselves that has taken over. The solar feels so much more natural and in line with our ...

Inside each centre we have a thinking, feeling and acting part. Meaning that we have an intellectual, emotional and motor centre inside each centre. To balance inside each centre means to use each mini part in the correct order.  To balance inside the centre we would use the mini thinking, then the mini feeling and then the mini acting. For example, to balance inside the emotional centre we would use think emotionally then feel as you would emotionally and then feel about doing. We get unbalanced always when we focus just on one one inside the centre and neglect the other parts. End (4567).

You know the teaching that when the energy in one centre has been consumed that to keep going it takes energy from the other centres which in turn means taking energy from the sexual centre. The issue is that the centres then function with an energy that is not appropriate to them. Just like a plane can not function properly with the fuel that a car uses. When the intellectual centre is using energy or fuel that is not its proper fuel, the intellectual energy is very unbalanced to the agitated and jumpy side. It is difficult to concentrate and the intellectual centtre feels very viscous. It is not so easy to extract work out of it.  So when we notice a centre not working as smoothly as it usually does, that could well be the case that we have overused one centre and our centres are working with energies that are not proper to them. End (4568).

I think that this is the best way to describe maturity of the essence.  It is a very comprehensive understanding of creation, life, people and the way things work. That makes a person flexible yet strong and also ready to meet the challenges of life and the spiritual work with the approach that is needed, orthodox or unorthodox whichever is needed to be taken.   End (4565).

It is difficult to wrestle with the idea of not being important to others, especially those we love etc. However, if we are to reflect on what we will gain.  In truth to become more objective in our perception and to create much more space for ourselves for our real Being inside of us we need to drop that sense of self-created importance.  That is the reason and the way is to sacrifice it.  Our own awakening takes steps forward in accordance to how much we are willing to sacrifice these inner false creations. We are really helped when keeping this false self-created sense of importance brings us so much pain that we just then have to sacrifice it to not suffer anymore. That is a big help really that comes from our Being through our Typhon Baphomet. End (4564).

We need to affirm the values of our Inner Being within our psyche. Affirm the Inner Being, affirm the trust in the Inner Being, affirm the faith in the Inner Being, affirm the trust in super-sexuality etc. etc. The constant conscious repeating of affirmations using our external and inner word closes gaps of distrust, doubt and uncertainty within our psyche.  Consciously using affirmations also allows the mind the chance to 'protest' so to speak. Then we can see what the mind, in its conditioning, has of the opposite to the value . Then we can go to work in freeing that conditioning. Skepticism is nothing but a conditioning of our mind.  It is really a good thing to know that skepticism is a conditioning the mind. Another thing is actually work to liberate the mind from the conditioning. End (4563).

Failure is often the origin of so many negative states. It is, I believe a critical thing to understand in life - how to transform failure and to know for real, that many 'failures' are not failures. It may happen that your memory one day opens up for a few seconds and you may remember a time when something of your Inner most for a reason you never knew why, failed you. Just as if you were climbing a mountain and for no apparent no reason your legs gave way, but in this case it was something from inside, a strength from the soul or Inner Being that failed. Anyway this failure can have such an impact that it creates something in the psyche where from that moment on we doubt, we distrust, even become resentful, and in time come to hate the Inner Being in us and there begins the distinct separation and distancing from the inner worlds and inner life into the outside world and the senses: personality, mind and ego. End (4558).

A person just sitting or lying down by themselves and sincerely transmuting their energies is actually doing something very merit worthy. They are preparing an offering that goes up to their higher Divine Parts.  Symbolically, it may be seen as the person who is practicing, is preparing a salad or a plate of food which when made floats upwards and then vanishes as it enters into the higher dimensions. Indicating that every practice done sincerely nourishes our Inner Being. In conclusion we should never stop ourselves from doing a practice. Because every practice gives us merit and pays for something and is an offering to our Divinity and to the Divine Law. When we are in difficult times we MUST continue practicing and even step it up. End (4562).

We believe in certain areas that we are weak and incapable. That belief then acts through our subconscious conditioning or depressing our body. The body is generally not weak. It is the mind that thinks weak. If we have a physical or medical condition the body can be weak because of that illness etc. But if we are healthy the body is not weak, it is capable. Our body maybe ill but at least we can change our thoughts to not think weak. When we need to be strong we see that beliefs of various egos of weakness identity such as self-compassion believe us and wish us to be weak. But our body is not. We have to say to ourselves repeatedly inside of ourselves with lots of trust and faith that we are not weak and our psychology is not weak to break down those beliefs that we are weak.  To be weak is to always fall short and be suffering. The motivation to not be weak is to not suffer and to not fall into error and then reaping the same negative consequences. End (4557).

We also have to watch creating new judgements because they become solid and fixed in our mind. When we apply this key we can be neutral with others and we can feel positive and so start to feel freer around others. End (4559).
