Gnosis Wisdom

I have been observing this coming for a year or two now.  People studying Gnosis feel that Gnosis is too focussed on the negative. Plus there are the many teachings on the end of times which is scary and gloomy. It feels like people are wanting a revolution to feel the joy within themselves that resides in their Being.  This is true point, there is joy within our essence and Being and it is something that could well have been missing in the way Gnosis has been taught or in the way people have been applying Gnosis. Gnosis after all is the our own knowledge of our own Inner Being. Whose pursuit is joyful, and yes it is not always easy and requires hard work. But a hard work that is supremely rewarding. This revolution in Gnosis is currently being expressed in the way of embracing the affirmative psychology of the Being as well as developing the values of the Inner Being to pay our debts and dissolve the "I's" or conditionings that we have.

What really stops us taking action is fantasy! If fantasy be negative, positive or neutral it will take us away from action. That fantasy can be overthinking, speaking about what we are going to do or just thinking about all the good things that will come or the things that could go wrong. Often in common everyday human life, as soon as people dream about the money they are going to make without anything certain at hand, they rarely act on their plans and ideas.  End (5624).

In each day there are so many micro-good things that we can do for others and ourselves. Of coure the big good things have much value. In a time poor day, the big good things for others, don't really fit in until the weekends. If we activate ourselves towards seeing and doing the minute good things for others, there will be many opportunities in each day to take advantage of. The minute things done constantly and consistently accumulate to big things. The small things make the big things possible. End (5638).

All egos compensate according to their core value.  For example, it is easy to see with gluttony. Within gluttony we find the values of completion, satisfaction and taking full advantage of what's available. When we in the different areas of our life have trouble completing tasks, often feel unsatisfied with the things we do and are not taking advantage of the opportunities presented to us in our day. We will tend to turn to gluttony to compensate for that.  With gluttony we can easily take control and eat to the point of being full and satisfied, plus we can take full advantage of the food that we have bought or is available to us. We follow this pattern of compensation with so many egos. It is a good way to find the core values within each ego. For example, when relationships falter and we are unable to overcome resentment and rejection, we compensate with lust. When we are unable to get or command respect in a certain area of our life, we compensate with pride and anger in ...

Introduction This post contains some notes about psychological and consequently spiritual values at an introductory level. Notes General Values are something that are inside of us. They are our innate qualities, laws and principles.  They are universal and perennial when they belong to our Inner Being. We can know that any value is of the Inner Being, that is, it is divine, meaning it is universal and perennial, when if that value were to be absent from the field of life, life would stop. There are also values within the personality. Which is also our job to know. These values are typically human cultural and society values. There maybe some overlap with perennial spiritual values but this is not often the case.  What is of interest to us are the values of the Inner Being. Our psychology is made from these values. The main purpose of our psychology is to give these values expression within us – that is inside the human being.  Our psychology is our inner space that we can...

The better thing to do in relation to other people, is to make the internal effort to comprehend them. Internally we may find ourselves deep in criticism, protest and varying degrees of dislike... Being stuck in the above things is truly no good for us and others... To start to change that within ourselves for our benefit, the thing is to try to comprehend the person. To comprehend a person is very different to criticise and dislike.  We don't need instructions on how to comprehend anyone, just the will to do it is sufficient. Making the slightest effort to comprehend another person brings enough light to make us feel different and to know that that is the road to take - comprehension. When we start to travel down the road of comprehension we start to leave behind internal criticism and dislike. End (5635).

Being analysed, critiqued and corrected can be difficult to deal with. Over a prolonged time it can create psychological complexes in people. From the Gnostic point of view it is certainly a tough gymnasium, where a person can learn a few things.  Those things can be some of the following: • To see ourselves always positively and to see our Inner Being as a legitimate reality that has the wisdom and strength to change. In many ways, the fact that we are present in that gymnasium is because of our Real Being wanting us to learn. • Seeing ourselves as wrong provoke anger or self-pity. If we keep positive towards ourselves we don't bring anger. From within our essence we don't want to see ourselves as wrong and deeply from within our Being we are not. It is not wrong for the Being to be. • To support ourselves while keeping open to useful advice will help us change for the better. • To learn how to form our inner life to see that what is being proposed is good for us, will helps u...

Will is a tremendous force in everyone. It is the force that keeps us being what we are. If we change the direction of our will we will be different... True will is force that frees us and gives us the ability to chose.  The will that we freed from the ego gives us the freedom to choose the free qualities of our Being. Those with trapped will find it difficult to understand those with true free will.  End (5632).

It has been taught that the consciousness, that every human being and creature has, comes from the Cosmic Mother.  The Great Wheel of life also known as the Wheel of Samsara and the Great Tree of Life are also forms of the Great Cosmic Mother. Through the Kundabuffer the serpentine fire of kundalini inverted, we are fascinated and lulled asleep into furthering the purposes of life and nature. As She created our consciousness and makes our consciousness to sleep, she can also awaken and liberate us. The Divine Mother, is the engenderer, enslaver and also the awakener and liberator. As a conclusion, knowing this, it only makes sense to get closer to Her in any way we can. We have to start within ourselves, thinking about her and talking to her. Giving her time and attention - to Her within ourselves. She won't answer straight away (she might), as She is black (obscure) to the neophyte, but in the silence of our interior - mind and heart, she will speak to us, through the silent feeli...

Forgiveness is not only a human action or possibility, but also a cosmic phenomena. The Cosmos and creation forgive. Our body forgives. All that we put it through, it rebuilds, heals, repairs and carries on. In other words, it forgives us for our maltreatment and ignorance, and keeps giving to us so that our physical life continues. How patient and forgiving is our body with our bad habits and desires.  Our body forgives us as much as it can. As much as the physical laws allow. That is, as much as old age and the body's physical and energetic limits allow. If the cosmos and our own bodies did not forgive, then life would cease. One of the outstanding qualities of the Cosmic Christ is forgiveness. Forgiveness is very much like the Cosmic Christ reaching out to us. To forgive is to reach back out to Him. It is the great love and intelligence that reconciles and forgives so that life can continue. Things always go wrong and mismatch. Forgiveness is needed to try again and again until ...

In life we can't do without forgiveness... Some people even own selves have believed the opposite at some point in our life. We often believe when we are resentful that forgiveness is not needed and we can live life without it. How far are our beliefs from the truth at times.  It is a needed quality that each human being needs to possess and express. People who are not forgiving are very detailed and strict with others but not so with themselves. Every human being has the power of forgiveness within them.  It is as needed as medicine is in this world. It is one of those virtues that the Being of the Being energeneredd within Itself to be able to allow life to continue flowing forwards. The absence of forgiveness causes breakdowns and conflict. To awaken and improve our awakening we have to clear away our problems, grudges and pain...  Using forgiveness and its power can help us a lot. Basically we can teach ourselves to start to forgive for ourselves first. Then increase ...

Uncertainty is an inherent part of life - there is little that we can do to escape it. All that we can do is to accept it, become comfortable with it and know how to move with it and even within it at times.  Uncertainty is a part of life turning on the wheel of Samsara.   As mentioned earlier the best thing to do is to deeply accept all is uncertain. If we do accept it, we will awaken a little more. Because we don't accept uncertainty, we believe in all the measures human beings have invented to counter uncertainty. In time and with the impressions of life we end up believing these measures to be real and uncertainty is the thing that is no longer real. This makes us sleep, because to be asleep is to believe in fantasy. We believe insurance, money and plans can counter uncertainty. But they can't, we know that... If we accept uncertainty we will change. We will make ourselves ready for it and we will appreciate everything and live more intensely in the moment. We will enjoy w...

Normally, the Kundabuffer in us buffers reality from reaching our psyche. The kundabuffer does this outside our awareness. We are not too aware of it, but we really can be. However, in certain cases when the impressions are intense or impactful we need to consciously buffer them. What I mean by this is to receive the impressions and don't let them pass straight into our psyche.  Hold them off, see what they are about and then kindly pass the messages of the impressions onto our psyche, where it can be transformed. The ego grabs the impressions because they are not presented nicely and perhaps too quickly. So it is our job and work to take the impressions and tactfully convert them into something kinder for ourselves and in an order or priority. We always want to them to speak to us kindly even when they are under stress. It is truer that we need to be kind to ourselves rather controlling others to be nice or kind to us.  One way we can be kind to ourselves, which is what our s...

Even though all of us suffer so much we are not really fully aware of the setbacks of suffering. If we just meditate on the setbacks of suffering, we will find that the knowledge of the setbacks, does not easily surface. What does come up is how we waste time, waste energy, waste money and waste the time and energy of others...  Those are really only physical things. Realising this we say suffering makes us to feel awful - which is obvious. Then it's difficult to extract more.... But really there is much to discover yet. How about one setback of suffering to be the loss of light. When we suffer we lose light. When we lose light we lose sight of our Inner Being, the teachings, the values that have always served us, the well-being of others.... The loss of light is one setback of suffering, There are many more that we need to discover adn know to be able to have the light and strength to free ourselves from suffering. Feelings of ill and contraction follow when we lose light. End (56...

We have to study our "I's" from and with the heart. Not with the mind! It is a shift. A worthwhile shift to make. IF we study from the heart we will go deep and we will find joy in it. We won't get bored, tired or stuck. To study our "I's" is a work of the heart! End (5625).

Using the intellect for everything, one day makes us intellectual.  To be intellectual does not really make us intelligent or smart.  Becoming intellectual makes us, sooner or later, to become empty. The interesting thing is we don't think we are empty, but we feel empty. There is a good reason behind the feeling of being empty.  The reason is that the intellect gathers, or better said, borrows concepts, information and reasons. It does not generate anything of its own. It simply borrows from others. After a while of continuously borrowing information and reasons, we end up bankrupting the natural intelligence of our own consciousness. This happens because we stop using our natural intelligence, and our capacity to access our natural intelligence atrophies. When we stop using our natural intelligence we end up being parrots, empty tin cans making all sorts of sounds that lack substance. This is very much like the Moon. The intellectual is lunar is nature. With one side vi...

Introduction There are many formulas I believe to activate the consciousness. Here is one that can be used to activate our consciousness for a specific task. Formula 1.) Quieten the Mind. 2.) Set your intention. 3.) Focus attention on the task. 4.) Wait in relaxation, with a quiet mind and with alert attention. Example Task: Remember our childhood. 1.) Quieten the mind for however long it takes. This is a mind that is mostly quiet, thoughts are easily noticed and let go of. 2.) Bring to mind and emotion the intention to remember our childhood. 3.) Focus our attention on chanting the mantra: MAMA PAPA. 4.) Gently bring to mind one scene from our childhood or some memories of our childhood and just stay there gently moving slowly from one scene to another if available and wait. Giving ourselves a decent amount of time. End (5620).

A Good Start  To have a more conscious day is very important for our work! A conscious day is where we can do some inner work. A good way to start is to start with: Passive Personality . To do this be quiet . When we have to speak, speak with our personality passive.  We can have an active or a passively active personality. Whatever our personality, make it passive. Do this by saving words and speaking correctness in both content and tone. Doing this saves lots of energy, makes our mind quiet and does not bring the ego so easily. Giving us vital time and space to work within ourselves. Pay a Price To have a conscious day there is always a price it seems. The price is to sacrifice the first few egoic reactions of the day. It hurts to do that, but that is the price. When we want to react and say this or that, hold our tongue and feel the burn for a few minutes and then we will have entered our chance to have a conscious day. It always better to sacrifice the egoic reactions. The...

Mystical Death has to be our supreme value. The thing that we value the most. When it is such a high value we can die extensively.  When we value death and what comes from it, such as freedom, liberation, free will, transcendence and free consciousness we are ready to die instead of being right, being loved, being understood and being justified... End (5621).

Frankly, it is too difficult to change if are not properly aware of the setbacks and difficulties that our defects put us through and bring to our lives. Suffering is a major setback. We must also be aware of the setbacks of suffering. If we are not aware of suffering and its setbacks what motivation is there to change? The benefits! But the benefits are only really another way of saying no more suffering or less suffering. End (5619).

In each instance of 'having' there is a value there deep within it that we are wanting and feel we lack.  We often ignore this value and go about acquiring/having the physical thing. We can liberate ourselves from 'having' by looking deeply inside the the thing we want to have and find the value. Then work to incarnate thet value. To incarnate theat value means to understand and embrace the spirit of the value.  The spirit of the value is the psychology of it and the beingness of it that blends into our own Being. Examples to follow in later posts. End (5618).

Introduction This post presents some writing about the seven amigos (missionaries). Each of the amigos has a distinguishing difference and octave to their nature and priorities. Beginning Missionary The missionary that after being a student decides to teach, completes an instruction course of some kind and begins teaching.  Such a missionary would have entered the path, and we infer, would be somewhere in the minor path, aspiring to enter the major path.  I write this because to be a missionary one has to love the work. To love the work, one has had to have worked on oneself, and one has had to have come to understand the Gnostic doctrine through direct experience.  It's not really possible to consider teaching Gnosis if one lacks love and real knowledge of what they are going to teach.   To be a missionary one has definition enough to change their life and lifestyle, to be able to devote themselves to teach. To teach Gnosis is not a hobby, it is a way to live l...

To actually be something such as 'smart' is totally different to 'to be seen as smart'. To be smart is liberating and free and develops practically and advances infinitely. To be seen as smart for example, is limiting, there are many parameters and references made up by the mind, that cause suffering when trying to obey them. There is also the fact that there is no guarantee, that being seen as something is the same as actually being something.  This applies to any quality of being that we can think of. A real quality is one where it is about being, not 'being seen to be'. The difference is that being something is for you and your Being, while being seen as something, is for others and your mind/personality combination. End (5617).

To be concentrated and present is always better. This allows our consciousness to be present so that it can expand and cover all the details in our life needing and waiting to be taken care of. We usually have our mind actively roaming and scanning, trying to do this. Consequently making us unable to concentrate and of course hardly present. We also feel 'scattered' and become more readily tired and overwhelmed.  To awaken, it is better to be present and use our consciousness to expand and reveal. End (5616).

To be present here we have to empty of the inattentive and chattering part of ourselves.  To relax our subconscious is the key here.  To deeply accept that I am here in this place doing this is also another key. Aligning our three brains with the place and the activity quietens the subconscious and brings our attention to the present. When we are present our Being is in us. We are our true selves and can access our best. End (5615).

What happens with us after certain 'learning' events is that there is either contraction or expansion.  We usually contract after we told somebody a secret and they told others. We say to ourselves we won't tell them anything anymore. That's contraction. After a while that contraction doesn't feel good and in many ways it goes against the nature of sincere friendship. So then we realise the answer is in still sharing but with more awareness. This is expansion. Expansion without awareness is not expansion it is exaggeration which produces imbalance. It is selfish to overburden someone with so many things to be 'kept quiet'. The turtle brings its head in when there is danger, but waits for the coast to be clear, then brings its head out again and continues walking. End (5612).

There is a definite awakening to assume even for a minute or half a minute our true identity which is that we are an essence. To assume our true identity as the essence requires transcendental learning and understanding.  There is another awakening and book of knowledge to be able to hold onto that identity. Truly to be able to hold onto that identity is not easy and soon enough becomes extraordinarily difficult.  Why, because to hold onto it we need to have created something to hold onto. It must be something emotional and we have to create it. Basically, it is created by the clear and acute knowledge of the serious drawbacks of us losing our true identity and becoming identified with an "I". For example, a person may go into a negotiation with the clear mission of saving a person's life. With that mission in hand, that person can not allow themselves under any circumstances to forget their purpose and do anything that would jeopardise that mission. Because to jeopardise...

To live and be here physically means to be only conscious of the five senses and respond based totally on the five senses.  We really can't live like that. It would be so difficult and limiting. Actually impossible. We actually live physically and internally. When we go into observing ourselves and directing our attention inwards we live in the internal superior worlds that links us with the superior worlds of nature. When we allow our attention to be taken by an ego, a false "I" we live in the inferior worlds.  We actually use the physical world as a launch pad to dive into the inferior worlds or either to launch into the superior.  We always live internally. We just need to change where internally we live. We tend to live too much in the inferior regions and that is why we get so connected to egoic and negative side of things in life. End (5613).

Sounds paradoxical but it is real. If we remember what we are going to do in the future, near or far we can help ourselves to be more impeccable. Because we know in the present is where and how we can make or break that future. Being impeccable or close to it or heading towards it at least will make the future that we yearn for come true. End (5611).

We like to keep certain relationships with others strong by not weakening the values hta hold them together. Though we can very easily forget about doing this with ourselves (Inner Being).  Not allowing the values that draw us close and closer to the higher parts of our self (Inner Being) to weaken or be compromised is called integrity.  As a matter of our integrity, keeping and holding certain values to ourselves no matter what happens outside strengthens the essence to Being relationship, and this integrates the Inner Being amongst itself.  Integrity helps to separate us from the different egos in our interior and gives us separation at the same time from the different events of life.    End (5610).
