Gnosis Wisdom

Atman, Buddhi and Manas form a triangle, trinity or trismurti just as do the three primary forces. They are another expression of the Law of Three forming a complete system - a complete unit.  Spirit, will and consciousness are separate yet they combine together to form a unity. They all contain each other and participate of each other. In consciousness there is spirit, will, cognition, light and awareness. In will there is attention which is also in consciousness, and there is also spirit in the consciousness, and in the spirit there is will and consciousness. The ethical triangle is derived from the Logoic triangle. It is the Logioic triangle in an expression suited to the human sphere where the Logos can rule over the life of a human being and walk through the life of human being. What one has of the other is what the spirit needs to be complete. The power of three is to make something complete. The two is the beginning - the presence of the creative spark but the three works to...

Practically no one now is an esoteric detective. Master Samael really was, m.m.m is. However, what we find is that we are mostly all physical and psychological detectives. When we get hurt or bothered or something like that we go into ego detective mode, working out all the physical movements of the other person that hurt us as well as all their ego driven psychological motivations. After gathering all the info we can, we then try hard to catch them out. Catch out their lies, their contradictions, their errors, their egos, their subconscious etc. Every man and his dog does that, and every man and his dog is pretty good at it too, as every man and his dog has the ego and subconscious and one does not have to look far for a reference in themselves. In Gnosis, we get a bit better than that, and instead of detective work on others, we try to do it on ourselves. If we do that, we can get a lot of good insight and make some real profound changes for the better in ourselves...  Doing the ...

When under a great deal of pressure, certain cracks appear in our psyche. Which is a serious thing! Psychological pressure can accumulate over time or it can appear intensely in a certain circumstance. No matter what the scenario is, it is something to be aware of. Especially when we are subject to it or we are subjecting others to it. The pressures of escaping financial ruin, fear for the lack of physical safety, constant belittlement, intense  and constant frustrations, sexual pressure, drastic life changes, constant conflict, unrest in society, constant relationship problems etc.etc. The pressure causes an opening in our psyche to appear which is really the best way to picture and understand it. Imagine a deep crack that opens up in our psyche where there is access to the depths of our psyche. Normally our psyche is covered by our consciousness and it is our consciousness that screens out thoughts and feelings that rise up from our subconscious. It is our Inner Being and our kar...

There are so many things that we get really confused over what to choose and spend days and weeks deliberating. Well if they don't matter esoterically like make of car, colour, insurance, no insurance, just be practical get it over and done with chose what you have the tendency towards and buy it, get it, organise for it etc.   Don't waste time in the mind, depressing ourselves and others involved with so many options and reasons and counter reasons, doing circles and circles... For things that matter esoterically "ponder carefully and chose wisely" in favour of your esoteric path. End (4789).

We typically trust in fear, pride and anger to be our protectors in the face of the many events in life. We also trust and appeal to the opposites of dignity, truth and justice to be our protectors, which are arrogance, lies and pride. These false protectors bring us karma or many unpleasant after-effects and their just as equally unpleasant consequences. If we can remember that we use false protectors that bring us lots of trouble when scared are when fear is present - we can help ourselves to drop them and take up the real ones: dignity, truth and justice.  The real protectors are real values and parts of our Inner Being that do the best job for all of us! End (4788).

Life is not everything. The Being is everything! Life is just a wave on the vast ocean of Being.  To align with the Great Reality that the Being is a vast ocean we need to adjust our focus of attention to see this. We can only align with that when we adjust our focus. If we can make our focus and attention like a flood light that sees our own life greater and wider than the details, problems and to-do lists we are doing it.   When we are focused on life as everything that is why we get so upset when things don't work or work out because that is everything for us and we are then left with nothing.  When we are focused on the Being as everything so vast and great extending from far behind us and far ahead of us we don't get so easily upset, annoyed and disappointed by all the little things that go wrong that our personality and little "I's" disagree with.  End (4785).

Introduction Here are notes from a talk by m.m.m which was received online. Notes We and our Inner Being are a unity. We need each other. We can not walk the path without each other. We both do the work in our different worlds and spheres.  We can not walk the path without the help of our Inner Divinity and the Inner Divinity can not realise itself without us. Every ego is a fascination with the wrong perception of the realities of life. Every ego is a fascination with the wrong side of the things in life. For example lust is when we focus our sexual energy onto the senses, sensations, personality, matter,  relativity and duality. Which is the wrong side, we should focus our sexual energy on enhancing the Inner Being, which we say in Gnosis is the right side. We need to pray with hope, trust, faith, altruism, instead of with pain and protest. The 'Our Father' can be esoterically summarised as use the consciousness of the Father and attract His force. We should pray with altrui...

God bless them for keeping me alert! It is a rare thing to have someone help us in life with our state of alertness and presence of attention! Love the Being in us and we will Be... End (5007).

The ego with some kind of authority forms a very strong combination. Which is difficult to maneuver around. It can seem that even justice itself gets defeated... The length of time in which such a situation can go on for, depends on the amount of injustice there is to balance, and how much injustice this combination of ego and authourity causes, in other words how much authority has been previously abused.  The tides always change... The change is marked when the consciousness of the people can no longer stand the unfairness of the ego and authority duo, Justice itself will break up the duo and its power will decline.  The abuse of power is not Christic when the ego uses authority for personal or individual ends.  End (5354).

The below is a very interesting quote. Seems very true. It shows us the catalyst of change and how powerful basically pain, knowledge and giving of values is. It seems that the first season is what really motivates us to work seriously to overcome at least, an ego. The other seasons are what make us to die psychologically (change). These other seasons also entail changes in habits, routines, psychology - thinking and feeling, ways of doing things and even physical changes in life.  End (4781).  

When others disdain something we love, whatever it may be, we are being helped. We may not know it at first but we are. The role of the disdain of others is to actually get us to love better and more what we love. It is not about us trying to convince others to love what we love, no, it is about us loving what we love more and better. The criticism of others is useful, as we can intelligently listen, filter out the useful from the not useful, and use the useful to enhance what it is that we love. The disdain of others towards what we love often produces pain in us and so we can can work on that pain. The work on that pain purifies our love. Which means not to love less or drop what we love but to make that love more conscious. Which could mean seeing duality more clearly, be less attached, more trusting, more free and more oriented to the spiritual of all things.  End (4772).

The three primary forces of nature are everywhere. They permeate creation, even our physical life. It is true that the three primary forces of creation are the logoic triangle. Within us the three primary forces are called the Monad. They are three in one that form a unity, yet each of them in themselves are a unity. A triangle is the most stable geometry. It is the first closed shape that forms a unit. The three primary forces of creation are the Law of Three. The Holy Triamazikamno.  The Law of Three created. The three laws comes from the one law - the unity and they form the first unity. The Law of Three is the law that is needed to create in duality - which is creation. The law of three unifies the opposites, the two poles that this whole universe is all about - the great cosmic duality. As mentioned in earlier posts, each force supports and works for the other, that is why the Holy Trinity is explained as all three forming one, and all three participating in each other. The Af...

Wrong reasons and right reasons. The right reasons for doing anything create a strong lasting foundation while the wrong reasons for doing something create a foundation that crumbles and has to be rebuilt or either stays too far crumbled. Wrongs Reasons Make some extra money - like a side hustle doing something interesting and people related. Good excuse for and a way to rent or buy a bigger house. Finally be able to leave the group and it's instructor and be free, no more having to travel to class and meet attendance requirements. Set your own times and dates, work from home and cancel when you like. Be your own boss and do the things that you like, in the way that you want, and escape the always 'no' because of the semi-esoteric-political reasons. Be different maybe 'above' your fellow students. Excuse to travel the world and live in different countries, with local help and support from your students. Be in the elite and have access to the 'top'.  Stay in ...

Learning that we have to be tough with ourselves and take all negative elements out of our word. The learning is that all negative elements lead to conflict and that is a miserable waste of time and precious psychic energy. Plus in the process it destroys so many precious values in ourselves and others. Stopping the negative is the first place where we can show consideration, peace, intelligence and kindness - in other words love. This makes a huge difference to the relationship with ourselves and others. End (4778).

Those that Stay a While and Leave Master Samael said that the Gnostic movement is like a train that many jump on and many jump off. Few are those that stay on the train to the final station. This section looks at the different types of student that stay on the train for a while and then jump off. There are those that leave quietly and those that leave with a bang! Those that stay to learn something and once they've learnt it they leave the train.  Those that while staying, teach (mostly indirectly) the instructor and some group members an unexpected practical lesson, and then leave.  Those that come by recurrence and leave by the same recurrence. Those that come by positive recurrence and leave by a different 'negative' recurrence. Those that come by themselves and leave because of someone else. Those that come to heckle and challenge and then leave. Those that use the group or some of its nicer members until they can and then leave. They seemingly were never a part of the ...

There is no moral judgment in Gnosis. Moral judgment becomes just another bottle that stagnates a person and delays their path. Moral judgment leads to fear and a lot of physical and psychological pre-occupation and occupation trying to avoid being judged. Which in the end takes us very far away from the original goal which is to dissolve defects. It contributes to spending a lot of energy which we need for the real work of dissolution. Gnosis focuses on liberating the essence and the essence itself is beyond good and evil and therefore itself does not judge but comprehends. To comprehend we must first recognise and accept !  End (4777).

When we find concentration there is relaxation. There is also purpose...  Concentration is simple. It is a state of simplicity. To find concentration may be difficult. We may need to concentrate on something very human and simple at first, and then when concentration arrives, go to concentrate on the esoteric inner side within ourselves. The process of finding concentration entails overcoming distractions. If and only if we are victorious in overcoming distractions will we find concentration. That is important! We just can't expect concentration to arrive meanwhile we accept distractions. Distractions come from one or another Dantean circle. Egos of lust and greed from the third circle for example can be the distraction and obstacle for the day. No matter where the distractions come from, we need to be able to quickly let them go and continue concentrating. It is curious that the distractions come from down below. After all it makes senses,  because our happiness, our hope, ou...

Favourites in a Gnostic group is not an ideal situation as the other students may see this as unfair, and this can create a silent disharmony in some group members that can grow in time and become voiced disconcertedly depending on the level of Being of the group.  It's true in each group there are students who give more and then there are students who give less.  The injustice may be felt when there are students who give more and receive less and students who give less and receive more.  If an apparent favourite is doing a lot, and is doing what others don't want to do or can't then it is unfair of others to feel disdain towards that person. It is more fitting to comprehend instead. From the work point of view, the favorites if not vigilant are in a disadvantaged situation. As if, they are not psychologically aware enough they can easily fatten their egos of pride and self-importance. This is something that is not often seen, because the fattening works slowly in time an...

All the virtues and values of the Being, such as love, hope, faith and compassion, all come from the ONE, from the unity, which is the BEING.  This is because the Being is the ONE, the Being is UNITY, the Being comes from the UNITY and is one with the UNITY, and within the Being there is also unity. A simple example, is that at one moment we are so stuck in our individual, particular personality, that is our culture, religion, nationality, that we reject, disdain and even despise others who have a different culture, nationality and religion. Then out of some fortuitous circumstance we experience we see that we are the same, we are one, then compassion, love, kindness is born towards others. When we see that we as do they, suffer, cry and bleed red blood, and have parents, children and friends that they love as do we, the nobility in our spirit springs forth. It is the perception of unity, of oneness that causes the noble values of the spirit to surge forth... Karma is always there ...

If there is something that often brings us pain - it is best not to ignore it. Take heed and then let it all go, stop being concerned about it and stop worrying about it. Let it go. The sooner we do that the sooner the pain goes. We often don't pay attention to what pains us and we fight against it. Trying to win but then it comes back again and we do it all again. Getting our way does not mean we win over pain. Transcending it means we win over pain!  The best is to really win by letting it go!  End (4774).

There are really so many ways that we can fall under the hypnotism of life and materialism. Many of those ways are not directly related to possessions and money. Normally our way of being under life and materialism depends highly on our psychological structure. Our principal psychological profile (P.P.P) determines the way we go into materialism, that is the way we relate to matter. For example if pride is  our p.p.p then materialism will serve our pride, in the way of the more and the best.  We may renounce possessions and have only what we need and only work to acquire the money we need, and no more. Yet we can certainly be under the hypnotic grip of life and materialism. Working too much. Very busy with unnecessary movements and changes, over organising things, continued worry about people and things, over-researching things, continual or excessive planning of things, continual fixing of things, continual thinking of outside improvements, constant social engagements in pers...

This is a wonderful piece of advice from Martin Luther King. The more I read from him the more I think  he was a fallen bodhisattva...that really had a mission to fulfill. I think we are all looking in our life to be excellent or great at something. Well with this advice, here is greatness through humility. Humility is to know our place, deeply accept it and work intensely within it to the better.   As Gnostics we are called to the realization of our Inner Being. That is, to master ourselves, so here we find our calling and so here within that calling we work as well as we can and in that is our specialty and greatness. End (4768).

Here are some notes from a part of a talk that m.m.m gave last night. Spirit and matter are a part of creation. There is nothing wrong with either. Matter is condensed spirit and spirit is rarefied matter. Materialism is not matter! It is something psychological. The whole question of materialism is the 'ism'. The 'ism' is the cult to matter or the religion of matter. The 'ism' is how we relate to matter or in other words it is about our attachment to matter.  So all this big deal about materialism is really about our attachment to matter. That's then clarified. Materialism has a positive function for those who do not do the work. It stabilizes their life here in creation in the physical world.  For the spiritual work though, it becomes an obstacle. As it stands as an obstacle to our radical trust and faith in our Inner Being.  It was mentioned by m.m.m that he saw materialism as being the antitheses of Kether and claiming to be his father.  In fact, materia...

One interesting view to take on drug use in society, is that shows what's missing in human beings. If we look at life in western societies, take Australia for example, we have the use of caffeine (very popular these days) to get us up and working in the morning (often early) and to keep us working in the afternoon when the drowsiness sets in.  We have alcohol after work and on the weekends to relax and unwind from the long work week. It makes it easy to relate to people outside of the work setting, and generally forget about life's problems including those at work.  We have the many other drugs (illicit) to feel what we fail at being able to make ourselves feel (such as happiness). In the past when we real felt joy, bliss, love etc. it was almost now that it didn't happen, to get hat same feeling back again seems just not possible. The many illicit drugs also help us to forget about our problems, difficulties, pain and suffering... So, caffeine helps to keep us as a kind of...

Here are some interesting quotes about the relativity of evil and how the normal person often slides into it to some degree.  It all starts off in the intellect... Before sliding into anything inconvenient for the soul our intellect is beguiled... The one below is a good one, it even applies to the affairs of our own life, A family life, work life, life in our neighbourhood, things that happen in our own Gnostic group when people go against Gnosis etc. End (4764).

We typically think that the negative thoughts about ourselves and towards ourselves don't do anything, and so they are not a problem... We think the above because we normally don't feel anything from a negative thought. We typically think: “a negative thought and then what? Nothing!”. But the negative thoughts towards ourselves are REALLY HARMFUL!  The thinking that negative thoughts towards ourselves are nothing much is WRONG! It is a matter of a high state of consciousness or egoic sensitivity, to be able to know how harmful they are. Let's see the point of egoic sensitivity first. When a large ego is in possession of our human machine any negative thought towards ourselves in any direction, multiplies its grip and effect on us two or three fold... Which reflects frequently in strong physical symptoms such as vomiting, shaking, sweating, digestion, diarrhea, etc.  When we have been doubting ourselves all week and then at the end of the week we go to our usual psychologica...

I have heard many people say that.  In reality Gnosis is knowledge which is neither negative nor positive. So Gnosis is not negative. It is just the way that it is presented or the way it is perceived and the way it is taken. Knowledge does not harm or injure anybody. It is all how it is used as to what happens next. If that be benefit or injury of some kind. The negative - that is the 'bad ego', is often focused on a lot in Gnosis, because that is what is the cause of so many problems and so much suffering. There are many people that focus on the light and forget the ego, yet they still suffer and cause problems to themselves and others. The key is to work on both the darkness and the light. There is that definite empahsis on the 'ego' just so that people do not fall into the trap of focussing on the light alone.  What happens is that empahsis is often taken out of context and we make the mistake of only focussing on the dissolving the ego and that inevitably makes us ...

Faith in action is to have faith in the triumph of your soul and to work empowered by that positive emotion. The Being in me will triumph, and I as soul will triumph. May everyone work that way so that the soul and Inner Bing, which is everyone triumphs. Then we can really help everyone else to triumph also.  End (4762).

Introduction This post is an idea of how Gnosis can be presented in the Information Session format. That the focus of this particular information session will be: "Making Our Light Shine".  Contents A good general focus of any introduction to Gnosis talk can be formed using the law of three.  General Approach Affirming  Each human being carries light within. Each human being is an essence derived from a soul and the soul is the unfolding of a Divine Monad. The Divine Monad of every human being is made up of spirit, light which is consciousness, will, energy, innumerable divine powers and qualities and is an authentic part of the Great Universal Spirtit of Life. Denying Obviously something is missing in our planet. If every person expressed their light how could things be  way that they are? Here then we explain the problem, that is present all that Gnosis teaches about what blocks our light from being expressed. The conditioned essence, the sleeping consciousness, th...

When any person has suffered a lot: They become understanding... All the small mistakes are nothing, there is so much worse that can happen to a person than a small mistake...  They don't care for appearances nor possessions because they remember how no possession, no matter how valuable it was stopped them from suffering. They remember how keeping appearances didn't heal them. It only hid the suffering from others, and later when they could no longer hold appearances, they remained the same and lived on, not losing much - except for so called friends, that because they disappeared they were not what we needed nor were we what they needed. A kind of shedding off old skin.  They are not annoyed by a lack of intelligence nor impressed by intelligence because for all their intelligence they could not stop suffering and it was not their intelligence that got them through it was the grit, the humanity and the love of the human spirit. People with a sharp intellect don’t always have...

We really strengthen our faith with 'leaps of faith". I think we don't advance in faith without 'leaps of faith'. It is the nature of faith, the we leap.   Faith leaps in us when we are blinded. When we can't see the way ahead. When we can't see much inside and outside of ourselves. Faith works that way, that when we can't see ahead of ourselves. It says trust in faith and jump. All the leaps of faith are to jump forward inside of ourselves and that reflects outside of ourselves.  All the steps forward, are of faith... End (4759).

One thing that I am learning from the effort we all make to be conscious throughout the day, is that it is not really about maintaining the consciousness or maintaining presence, it is about regaining it. The struggle or effort is always about being able to regain it. To get back to being conscious or to rescue our attention quickly and often, is what it is all about. When we rescue our attention that is our consciousness working.  When we realise we have lost consciousness and we re-take being present by dividing our attention between watching ourselves while being aware of the environment, and being aware of what we are doing, our consciousness is back. If we are not skillful at getting it back, it doesn't really matter how long we can hold it for because we will lose it and if we are not good at getting it back it will take a while until we realise it and are able to get it back. It could take just as long to get it back as we were conscious. Experience tells us that we will alw...

A really wonderful things is light! To look up at the sun and yearn for the light of the sun to enter us and fill our cells with light is wonderful. It is so nourishing and necessary. I feel that we carry so many dimly lit cells in our brain. Especially in our third eye where the cells feel even more dimly lit - almost like 'lights out' dark. All the anger has destroyed the imagination - the power to visualise and receive images. To consciously allow light to enter and will the light to penetrate and saturate our cells so to activate them is what we need. The light from the sun outside of ourselves and the light from inside of ourselves is what we need to direct so to open our imagination. The light from inside comes from our sexual energy and from our Inner Being.  Directing the sexual energy with transmutation and praying to our Inner Being to open our imagination  is a way.  With lots of light inside of ourselves we are more lucid and more transparent to our own selves...

No matter what environment you are in and move through - it is all about being present and using our attention consciously. We can go from a vehicle workshop to the boardroom of a city office and it is all the same - both environments require our attention to be productive. We can adapt to what's going on in any environment if our attention is kept with us. We can answer correctly if our attention is present with us. The essence of life is the flow of life and our attention is big part of it. End (4755).

Knowing something is through the three brains! Believing is not knowing as it stops short of all three brains. Assuming is not knowing as it stops short of all three brains. Projecting is not knowing as it stops short of all three brains. End (4754).

So if we do a short practice each day it will pay much than if we don't because we think that a short practice won't do anything for us. Well I think that way of thinking is wrong. 1% is 14 minutes of a day. Then we are doing something regularly give that little bit extra that extra 1% and see the results. Start give less and so soon what we have been doing will wither away. That is why we need super efforts at times. Because we ought to be at a certain level and we have not being growing by giving a little extra and so a deficit accumulates and so we have to make a super effort. Efforts are always needed to improve, the work is always about efforts. Actually it is really about small consistent conscious efforts.  End (4753).

From the Gnostic point of view manners and etiquette can be surpassed and replaced by consciousness. We understand that manners and etiquette are in place because of the absence of consciousness. It seems that without manners and etiquette people would not behave appropriately... Many of the values of the consciousness would direct us to act in a way that would be inline with manners and etiquette. Not exactly the same but inline with it. Not following the technical details as shown in  the diagram below but spirit of manners would be there which is usually, respect, moderation, consideration for others etc. When manners and etiquette are taken by the ego and the personality, the consciousness becomes bottled. When bottled manners and etiquette are then tied to the values of the consciousness that are bottles such as respect, honour, dignity etc. Sometimes people can get quite upset when manners and etiquette are missing in relation to them or the event. It is also consciousness to...

Introduction This is a marvelous topic. One that is so important for every student to study and know deeply. It is so practical and helpful in life. We can teach its wisdom to anyone. As everyone experiences it. It is also a wonderful experience to present talks on this topic to students. Notes It is essential to study the talk that Master Samael gave on the "Law of the Pendulum". Knowing about the Law of the Pendulum is extraordinarily beneficial for everyone. It is very practical and very easily verifiable. To know is to begin to be liberated...  The Law of the Pendulum is directly related to the Law of Duality. The Law of the Pendulum produces cycles. Therefore the Law of the Pendulum is related to the Laws of Return and Recurrence. The Law of the Pendulum is the one that produces the return of all things to its point of departure and it is the one that governs the timing of the recurrences. If the Law of the Pendulum is related to the Law of Recurrence, and the Law of Rec...
