Transform Conversations Into Mystical Death - (4609)

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.

Ill-Will Affects Perception - (4608)

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 others which seems unfair. This is true but it is not the major truth that is at play, it is the minor truth.

The major truth is that good-will benefits ourselves the most. With good-will we can transform things, turn things around and with good-will as with ill-will we can touch our inner causal world so to make changes in ourselves and in others.

Centre of Gravity Notes - (4607)

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.

People in life have their centre of gravity in their personality. In the Gnostic studies we transfer this center of gravity to the work, then later to the consciousness.

We need to know where our centre of gravity lies before we can transfer it.

If a person can't find their centre of gravity it is because it is of course in the personality, and they have not created a specific centre of gravity yet and because each of the centres of a person's human machine has their own  particular centre of gravity, which do not align with the others into one point. 

A centre of gravity is where all the centres of our human machine align to work for one point.

We transfer our centre of gravity knowingly or unknowingly.

Because the work is one of the consciousness we largely transfer our centre of gravity to the work knowingly. Which can be painful because it implies sacrifice. But done with love it is not so painful or difficult.

When there is the motivating factor of love we happily and knowingly transfer our centre of gravity to something. Knowingly in the way that we decide to give our life to something and with trust in the flow of life we arrange the details.  

The centre of gravity allows ourselves to balance our life. Because it becomes the chosen balance point of our life.

Knowing Where Our Centre of Gravity Is

Where is our centre of gravity? There are concrete methods to find out.

The principle of the centre of gravity is that the centre of gravity is a point upon which our values are focussed. Our values are time, energy, attention, care, interest, yearning, hope, love, faith and our life. All these values mentioned can be summarised in attention of the centres of the human machine.

Where our centre of gravity is - our thoughts, feelings and actions will gravitate to or revolve around. Our yearnings and hopes, our aspirations and reflections will all flow towards. 

Two Types of C.o.G

We have both inner and outer centres of gravities. We need to know both our inner and outer centres of gravities. 

We have general and particular centres of gravities. Where the particular centres of gravities are inside the general ones. For example, a person's home could be the centre of gravity of their life, and inside their home the kitchen could be their centre of gravity. 

Very often the outer centre of gravity is a result of the inner centre of gravity.

C.o.G and the Centres of the Human Machine

People can have their centre of gravity in which all the centres of their human machine are aligned. Then there are others who have the situation where each centre of the human machine has a different centre of gravity. Often the centre of gravity of each centre contradicts the others.  

The point of success is to align the centres of the human machine into the centre of gravity.

In common life a person can have their outer centre of gravity in their physical work, in an activity, in a place, in a family member, in a hobby, in a pet, in a room of the house, in the TV, in the internet, the phone etc. etc. 

Inwardly a common person in life can have their centre of gravity in the values of their personality, in an ego and the mind or in one of the mind's functions such as fantasy.

Internally we can have our centre of gravity: in a particular centre of the human machine, in a given "I", in a given physical sense, in the personality, in the consciousness, in a given attitude etc.  

We can have our centre of gravity in an activity. We can have our centre of gravity in life or in the work. 

 

Centre of gravity is focus. It focusses our values and then that concentration of our values magically begins to produce results. 

Centre of gravity activates the Law of Reciprocity. It allows us to give and invest our values so that the law of Reciprocity can return these same values us but at a higher octave which allows us to progress.

The method to find where our centre of gravity is, is to observe just one day of our life. Count how many times we invoke the work and how many times we turn to life. The greater the number is where unmistakenly where our centre of gravity is.

The outer centre of gravity can only be transferred with the support of having transferred the inner centre of gravity.

To transfer we need to know where we are taking our attention from and where we are transferring it to.

We need to transfer it from the personality, from the mind and from the ego to the consciousness and the work.

Transferring the centre of gravity is a mutually nourishing process. Where the outer and inner transferences nourish each other. 

Becoming a Gnostic instructor or missionary is an invitation to transfer one's centre of gravity to the work.

Examine the centre of gravity in the work through the centres:

Intellectual Centre: Call the work to the think psychologically, esoterically. Chose Gnostic articles over YouTube. Organise our life to be able to do the work.

Emotional Centre: We believe, we accept the work. We like and love the work. We trust the work.

Motor Centre: We do the work. We chose gnostic activities. We chose solar activities over lunar activities.

Instinctive Centre: We chose to relax our centres often and pacify the personality.

Sexual Centre: We transmute our sexual energies. We care for our sexual energy by being hermetic with ur the energies of the centres.

We need to work centre by centre making the centre of gravity of each centre the work and the consciousness. Making the centres the epi-centre of the consciousness.  

To consciously make the work our centr of gravity it is soemthing that we have to decide to do and then set about doing it. Meaning that we from moment to moment chose our work. The gradual way is where over time by gradually more and more choosing the work we end up transferring our centre of gravity to the work.

The main aspect of the centre of gravity of something is to use it to make our decisions.

Consult and consult the work about what to do with our difficulties, problems, time, energy, money, holidays, egos, relationships, illnesses etc.

The best way to start is to begin by consulting the work for everything. In erality 'everything' in the begining is only what we remember but the more we do it the greater 'everything' becomes. 

We make anything the centre of gravity when it has some kind of importance to us that it is greater than us. In other words when there is a cause involved and more importantly when the reason is love. 

The centre of gravity gives us identity, therefore makes us real. If our centre of gravity is in the work we make ourselves real in the work and responsible in the work.

The centre of gravity is the point through which we express love.

We can transfer centres of gravity either because of necessity or becasue of love. When transferred over because of need - it can be a temporary transfer. Whereas transfers made by love are permanent. 

The permanent centre of gravity is made with love and with deep understanding and integration. In other words when it hits our being is when it becomes permanent. So it is really a big step in being. It greatly affects our Being. It is who we are. It gives us an identity. When we make the centre of gravity the work we are starting to become our Being. 

That is one of the meanings or achievements of life is to be able to create a centre of gravity in something. 

Basically no one awakens, gets the path, or does anything real in the work until one has a centre of gravity in the work.

Hope is Very Valuable - (4606)

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).

Careful about Indulging in Negative Emotion - (4605)

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!

All 11 Bodies Have the Centres - (4604)

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).

Yearning Calls Forth - (4603)

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...

Working on the Personality Notes 3 - (4598)

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 ingredients. It lives on for a while after we die. But it inevitably breaks down in time. Many ghosts are really the personlaities of people who have died which have not broken down yet.

The personality has its values. Its values are relative. Consciousness has absolute values. Expressing the ego in time and space in different ways. 

If our thinking and feeling can not be transferred to say the 1500's and be acceptable then it is personality. 

Usually personality is rigid like the egos.

End (4598).

Rather than Ideal Mind - Practical Mind Instead - (4601)

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).

Working on Personality Notes 2 - (4595)

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 passive it will get. 

Here are examples of what the active personality looks like in the centres of the human machine.

Examples In the Centres of Active Personality

Examples of Personality Active in the human machine about how to passify it.

To passify it we just need to know how to not activiate it.

We need to know examples of what active personality is. 

Intellect Centre

Counteracting and arguing. Nothing about thinking in relation to the Gnostic doctrine. Identified with everything outside. Exaggerated attention on small useless details, excessive thinking. Thinking activates the personality. Rules and procedures, protocols, stuck in time, preoccupation.

Emotional Centre

Yearns for sensations in matter, to be not interferred with or told what to do etc. Corrected, my life, the trend of the times. Neglectful or hypersensitive, moral issues. Dislike and like. Vested interests, loves good impressions about itself, loves titles, values titles and reputations. 

Motor Centre

Life activities is, active, doing, talking. It most expresses itself in the motor centre. Very active motor centre. Related to our occupation. Can not feel at peace until things have been done in the house or office. Can't stop doing things. Playing sports, going out, talking and talking etc.

Instinctive Centre

Habits, my way, inflexible in a group, no co-operation, imposing, conducting our own life. Eating what we like only and rejecting what we don't like.

Sexual Centre

Mistaking a smile for sexual interest, wolf-whistling, clothing, flirtacious chit chat, imitating trends etc.

Working the Personality Notes 1 - (4570)

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. 

Intellectual Centre

Reading magazine type articles and watching YouTube and Facebook type videos frequently.

Researching things to buy using up lots of time.

Always planning and organizing life movements, activities, trips, finances etc.

Intellectual exaggeration of concern for appearances - body image and social standing etc. Being intellectually stuck in the importance of those factors. Thinking excessively and obsessively over them.

No esoteric way of thinking - only physical blocks of matter way of thinking. 

Can't see or conceive ourselves as an essence. 

Doesn't allow us to think outside of time. 

Doesn't allow us to look up at the stars, we are too busy with earthly personality things.

Does not allow us to see our past and our future beyond this life. 

Superficial view of life always. Is adamant about there being nothing more profound or beyond our way of life.

The way the personality thinks makes us to make many esoteric mistakes. As the personality way of thinking is wrong for the path.  

Emotional Centre

Feeling humiliated as a person. 

Sentimental emotional values which do not foster change or seeing a person's reality.

Personality does not allow disinterested love. Loves only for a purpose. 

Feels disinterested and bored in the spirit. 

Blocks the superior emotions of and for the Being. 

It's identified with the things in matter. 

Motor Centre

Doing lots of things, so busy, agitated, it does not mediate nor pray. 

Can't sit still to practice. 

Feels so uneasy - things have to be done and tidy to be at peace.

Does not allow us to trust the Being. It goes out there and does all these things.

Instinctive Centre

Comforts, senses, taking everything with the senses, culture, food types, traditions of family, religious, certain things outside of pour religious background don't feel right. 

Can only accept certain foods and and our particular likes.

The works feels unnatural or wrong. Security. 

Blocks us from accepting the traditions and ways of Gnosis. 

Does not allow us to chose solar activities over lunar activities.

Sexual Centre

Can only activate the sexual centre and energy given a number of conditions. Chocolates, music, colours, clothes, body types, hair, deep voice, soft voice, tall, short all those types of things.

End (4570).

Working and Working in Life is Animal - (4599)

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).

Centre of Gravity = Triumph! - (4597)

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).

Where is Our Centre of Gravity? - (4596)

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 Outburst Reactions are Mechanical - (4594)

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! In general even, it is not the answer!

End (4594).

Kalkian Personality Notes - (4588)

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 offence with the nature of the path.

When a person has psychic faculties this personality type becomes very strong. Because mystical pride becomes very strong and that reinforces the offence taken by the person to the ways of the path. Such offence is taken because the ways of the path can not be understood by the mind and the values of the common human personality.

The interesting thing is that the psychic faculties of such people do not see the path and then therefore do not see the seriousness of the work as presented by Master Samael.

End (4588).

Where is Your Being? - (4592)

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).

Separate and Give a Value/Higher State of Consciousness - (4593)

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).

Intro to Gnosis as Knowledge Notes - (5257)

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 is self-knowledge. Self-knowledge encompasses knowledge of the human and of the spirit living in the intimate depths of the human.

Each human being is a universe in miniature. Knowing ourselves allows us "to know the universe and its Gods", says the Oracle of Delphi in Greece.

Through knowledge comes liberation. Liberation brings happiness and peace. Gnosis as knowledge when applied liberates and develops the human and spiritual potential of the human being. 

Gnosis is a word of many others used to refer to that universal knowledge that each religion, mythology, culture and spiritual doctrine has expressed in their own particular way.

There is one way to go to God yet there are many ways to traverse the one way. 

Gnosis is the revelation of the secrets behind life. The so called: initiatic mysteries. 

Gnosis is a revolutionary knowledge that when it acts within a person it transforms them. It is also a synthesis meaning that it brings all the forms of knowledge together into one. 

Gnosis then is knowledge stripped bare of cultural and historical symbols and presented in plain modern language understandable to the uninitiated and the initiated alike. 

The knowledge itself only empowers. In the way human beings use it, it can be the most precious gift or either something that can harm.

The great saying: "with knowledge comes responsibility" is very true. The one who knows is responsible. 

Gnosis does not want us to be good or bad. Gnosis is about being aware of both good and evil. 

Gnosis teaches that in good there is evil and in evil there is good. Gnosis wants the soul to awaken and  being awaken both good and evil are transcended and one is neither good or evil.

The study of Gnosis leads one within to encounter oneself. It is not to find another's truth but one's own truth.

When a person seeks the truth inside themselves they can be known as a "Gnostic".

The study of Gnosis is to not follow anyone but to be led to delve within and find the truth within one's own Being.

Gnosis leads to awakening the consciousness that sleeps within the human essence. All religions and doctrines of the past have said that soul's slumber is the one responsible for our suffering and error.

As Socrates said: "An unexamined life is not worth living."

Knowing and Being must advance together in balance. This wise balance is Gnosis. To neglect one is wrong and leads to degeneration, failure or error.

The solution to the problems of society is in the transformation of the individual. Society is the sum of the individual. If the individual changes so then also will society.

Each individual is a mystery that must be decoded for oneself. 

If we know ourselves we can then understand others. It is not possible to know or understand others without us knowing ourselves.

The most important knowledge is of ourselves. It is better to know ourselves than be a specialist in any area of life. Self-knowledge leads to mastery of ourselves. 

If we know ourselves very well we can do well in any area of life.

Knowledge dispels fear. We are always afraid of what we do not know.

Gnosis is a knowledge that we lost and now it is our turn to regain it. We can only regain it via direct experience. It is a knowledge that dwells already within us, but we have lost contact with it.

We have lost that knowledge to now regain it with much effort so as to not lose it again.

Knowledge is best expressed through the four pillars. For knowledge to be complete there must be the four pillars. The four pillars are: art, science, philosophy and religion/mysticism.

The knowledge of Gnosis unites the four pillars within a person. In this day and age the four pillars are in conflict. For example religion and science are currently at odds.

The way to unite the four pillars is via psychology. Psychology is the intermediary between the outer and the inner. It is also the study of the soul where the values of the spirit are reflected into the external world.

Furthermore, full knowing is via the three brains only. If one brain is missed we do not know fully.

Knowing and Being must advance together. Otherwise we become the intellectual rascal  - too much knowing or the stupid saint - too much being.

To know the universe, Gnosis advises that the way is to first know ourselves profoundly. Because we are all a universe in miniature.

Hierarchy of Thought - (4583)

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).

Gossip Work Notes - (4589)

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 the subjectivity and untruths in the mind and wastes our energy.

Gossiping is fertile ground for ill-will.

Gossiping often reveals what is not to be revealed and often sadly, many decisions and mental representations are wrongly made because of it.

Gossiping makes us superficial and withers magnanimity in ourselves as we what gossip about is often about the personal things of other people - that is trivial and all about life. There is little esoteric content in gossiping.

Gossiping is against hermeticism. We all know that hermeticism is needed for the work. As nothing can growth or crystalize in a non-hermetic environment.  

I think a person who understands about the value of hermeticism will refrain from gossiping. 

To be not losing the sexual energy yet gossiping all the time is a contradiction. As gossiping is definite way to fornicate with the word.

Antidote

If talking about someone, only allow yourself to say what you would say if that person was standing right next to you. This would make you to chose your words carefully and to be fair in what you say, avoiding negativity and subjectivity. 

This is a really a good practice as one day unknown to us, that person will be standing behind us... It  also helps us greatly to educate our own word.

Practice

Would you say these words if the person was standing next to you? If not, then stop. If you would, would you use the same choice of words? Would you say those words using the same tone? If not then make the appropiate changes. 

End (4589).

Suffering Notes - (4591)

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 onto others. We need to absorb and transform suffering, not pass it onto others. 

There is the need to know how to suffer. To pass it onto others is to not know how to suffer. To make us of suffering is to know how to suffer.

Conscious suffering pays for everything in time. The hardship and suffering is always paid for later in time - first by acquiring the virtue, secondly being able to enjoy the fruits of the virtue and thirdly compensation by the Divine Law.

Suffering breaks through the crust of self-deception that blocks the consciousness.

Unconscious suffering due to not having food to eat because we have run out of money does not have much value to the work of the essence. It is better to have food and not eat it. This gives value to crystalizing virtues in the essence, as it was done consciously.

Prepared suffering is when we know what makes us to suffer and we make use of it. This is the known gymnasium.

A Missionary is a Wise Leader - (4590)

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.

Observation by Quality of Thought - (4585)

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.

HueHueteotl - Ancient Aztec God of Fire - (4587)

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.

Skepticism and Ignorance Notes - (4573)

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 capacity of what a person says to be true, we are skeptical about a person's experiences, we are skeptical of a person's virtues etc. We are not skeptical about a person being a person we are skeptical of their capacities which is the area of better or worse which brings pride into the equation.

The big key about skepticism is that we are skeptical in relation to pride. Essentially about something or someone having a real capacity that we essentially don't believe that we have the capacity to do.

Skepticism and Personality 

Skepticism contributes significantly in maintaining the personality well and alive, as well as keeping the centre of gravity of a person to be in the personality.

We get stuck in the personality because of skepticism. We don't believe in the essence or the Inner Being, therefore leaving us no where to go but to believe in our person - in other words our personality.

We somehow feel that what is real is life and our personality. We feel that the work is a game and that it is sort of the real but in the end what is real is life and nature and the spirit is not.

The work at the end of the day can seem like a game, that the great masters who have finished the work, still get sick and die and still suffer and seem to still be fighting with their psychology.

Ignorance is another support upon which the personality rests upon. Ignorance is to ignore what we know and it is also about not knowing. What really affects us is ignoring what we know which is ignoring the teachings. 

We don't believe in the teachings and we ignore them and so we strengthen the personality and remain in it.

Skepticism and the Inner Being

Every ego is skeptical. Because every ego does not believe in the Inner Being.

Skepticism in relation to our Inner Being. We doubt. To believe is to will.  

Skepticism in the Centres

Generally skepticism holds us back in all our centres. It makes the intellectual centre to be very active reasoning against accepting and protesting endlessly. Emotionally it makes us blocked and cold and the same in the other centres. All the centres except the intellectual centre enter into a kind of strong tension and rejection which makes then inert, frozen and resistant to function positively in relation to what we are skeptical towards.

It holds us back, stops us, introduces inertia, we know we are not at our fullest power. One is not happy. One can't give ourselves fully over to something. We hold back. We don't believe. We don't believe it is positive, we believe in negativity. We tie believing to positivity and not believing to negativity. Duality. We become DIVIDED! Which is never a pleasant experiences. When we are divided each of our centres are divided also.

It stops you from accessing your full power because it does not allow us to unite our three brains.

Skepticism and the Word

Skepticism's use of the word is negative. It essentially attacks with the aim to deconstruct or diminish. It can be sarcastic and is often humiliating.

Skepticism and the Work

We don't believe we have skepticism because we are in the work, because we are doing something spiritual. But in truth we can be very skeptical and we are in the work precisely to dissolve it.

We don't practice seriously because of skepticism. We don't call the Inner Being and the Beings of the superior worlds to help us.

We don't believe in the work of others and so we distrust others. It hinders the relationship with our Gnostic brothers. 

Origin

We can only be skeptical about what we have known before. 

Skepticism comes from failure and from resentment.

Layers of Skepticism

There are several layers of skepticism. 

There is the skepticism that does not believe in the values of the soul. For example a reason why we do not believe in value, patience, trust is due to skepticism. Then there is the layer that works deep in our subconscious where it blocks our connection to the Spiritual in us (Inner Being). Where it ceases our intellect, our imagination and our faith or emotion. Then there is the active layer of skepticism that says out loud or in the mind I don't believe in that.

We are finished when we say with skepticism: that does not work it is just a piece of dead plant. 

Skepticism Miscellaneous Observations

Skepticism ruins spiritual inquietudes.

Skepticism has its basis in the sensorial mind and the sleeping consciousness.

Skepticism does not give the benefit of the doubt. 

Skeptical is to be proud because we judge and we are being above them to judge them. We are judging the Inner God of the person. 

Skepticism does not see. It is all about what is not seen. 

Every ego has the conditioning factors in it. Every ego has skepticism in it. 

Skepticism is behind laziness in the two poles, passive and active.

Skepticism is a loss of faith. 

We are often skeptical about what we don't like. Every ego when it explodes fully into its heaviest manifestation expresses skepticism. 

Conditioning factors particular to our planet and the planet's karma? Why do we experience the conditioning factors that we do here on planet Earth?

Skepticism is very materialistic and it goes to the deepest material level and concludes stupidly about something. It also is humiliating at that level.

It is not skepticism that makes us to believe in scams.

Skepticism Remedy

Remedy to skepticism is to study and get more knowledge and to go up into the higher dimensions. It ignores ad ridicules the higher dimensions. It ignores basically the other two properties of atoms which are energy and consciousness.

Skepticism is a shield for our pride to not admit that we are lower. Therefore humility is a remedy.

There is the "I" of skepticism that mechanically blocks. One way to remedy this is to get conscious knowledge. 

The opposite of skepticism is to be open and not doubt or be rejecting and blocking. It is an open kind of respect, recognition and acceptance until conscious experience arrives.

To be skeptical is to be often critical and mean. 

The opposite of skepticism mentioned above is open but not stupid. This aspect of he opposite of skepticism is discernment.

The Skeptical attitude is to prove to verify. Best is to not be skeptical about ourselves. 

We can't have the attitude fully believing in ourselves. We need to have some openness that we are wrong. But a conscious one. 

What we take from skepticism is to be careful until conscious knowledge arrives. To strive for consciousness knowledge. 

To Believe

We don't believe in the values of the essence, in love, 

To believe is to give future, it is to take for certain something will happen. It is about will. When we believe, we are willing something to happen. 

The opposite is conscious faith. To believe is to take for real. It is to accept and to bring into our centres. Mechanical rejection. That is why it is related to pride. 

What makes us skeptical and not believing? The ego of skepticism. The remedy is to know to develop conscious faith. But the opposite is to believe or be open. The mechanical rejection or disbelieving is skepticism and we need to dissolve it to be open.

Esoteric Life and Death Mysteries Notes - (4586)

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 the experiences of life.

To recapitulate is to relive and learn and extract from life's events the essential learnings and wisdom. So as to not repeat what was in error.

Recapitulation is a teaching and a real action from and of Mother Cosmos, where the cosmos learns and takes back its energy that it gave us to live our life.

When we wish to die mystically or psychological y recapitulation actually undoes the knot of energy which is the ego and allows us to learn everything we need in that specific area.

Life once again allows us to die psychologically. Life and death support each other and are needed by each other and depend upon each other.

All our deeds are recorded. There are two atomic angels. One on each shoulder, which record our good and bad actions.

The deceased essence travels to the tribunal of the Law where it recapitulates its whole life. This usually takes three and a half days.

The process of death is a process of dissolution, where the essence is freed from the body and its limitations. The essence is freed from the four elements: earth, water, fire and air.

The recapitulation process allows the essence to be fully conscious of all that it has done while on earth. Then one is fully able to understand what comes next which is judgment.

To be judged all has to be weighed. That is fair that one is conscious n about the judgment of our life.

Death helps us so much. It tells us that everything we do will be weighed and that what we do now we will be held accounted for.

We can voluntarily recapitulate.
