Gnosis Wisdom

It is something really helpful to do a kind of psychological and spiritual check-in with the students that come to the classes. The check-in allows the teacher to see where the students are at and from which internal state they are attending with. For a particular group somewhere, we are finding that people are generally unwell, overwhelmed, semi-lost, suppressing, unbalanced, tired and a little broken etc. - basically needing healing. The classes of Gnosis about the classical topics of the four ways, sexual hydrogen, the seven rounds and seven races, involution and evolution - all those kind of things, help a little, but they are not as helpful as they could be, because the students are not in the right space to receive these teachings, which is totally normal when one is suffering in some way. Sometimes these topics add a bit of extra weight to their already suffering minds of people.  So Gnosis as knowledge focussed directly to heal our inner life, presenting practical tools is ...

Forgetting the about the base chakra and not aligning with it, that is not being present and connected to your reality means that it will be difficult to focus. We tend to only be interested in the upper chakras and what they can tell us, though if we are ignoring the base we can not focus and provide the balance, stability and energy that they need to function. If our heart chakra is blocked and not working properly or very inactive (stone heart) we are simply not aligned and it will be very difficult to access the chakras above the heart, and the information and energy that they transform and bring to us won't arrive. In summary, if we ignore the base chakra (Muladhara) we can't focus and balance ourselves. If we ignore the heart chakra we are simply not aligned with our Inner Being, the higher centres and knowledge are  blocked. We ignore the base chakra by not grounding ourselves, and being fully present. We ignore the heart chakra by not opening it and allowing it to be sp...

The volume at which we speak is a legitimate characteristic of the word. The volume we chose to speak with conveys information. The function of the word is to convery information and the word does this through content or vocabulary and through its three characteristics of tone, rhythm and volume. Volume has to do with empahasis. High volume equals high empahsis and a lowered volume equals a lesser emphasis. An opposite unappropiate use of volume usually goes hand in hand with sarcasm. Just like the tone it can be the volume used that makes all the difference to the interepateion of what is being said.  The main interpretation of the tone and volume of the word has to do with perceiving the intention of the speaker. It is often the perceioved intention that is objected to rather than the actual words spoken. The volume at which we speak, if we investigate can reveal to us something about our psychology. For example, there are people who are capable of a decent speaking volume but ch...

A key universal to all life is to find a centre of gravity, that is a centre of priority about which life revolves. Having a centre gives us a reference upon which to order, organise, priortize and balance our life by. A balanced life is a happy life. Having a centre also gives us purpose, meaning, and a reference upon which to make the difficult decisions in life by. The key is that our chosen centre of gravity is something we love. That is the key to happiness. Life for everyone is miserable when our centre of gravity is something imposed upon us and it is something that we don't love. End (5819).

Mechanical Norm There is a certain shift that can take place within us when we think deeply about what it is to heal. This is what I found when I began to reflect. When first examining our ideas about healing we may see that we what we think and feel are things that are a little vague and weak. I don't want to say for sure, but often the feeling of weakness related to healing comes from disbelief.  When someone knows something or believes strongly in something, they are immediately and automatically strong. It makes sense why we don't belive so much in healing, because overall we tend to hear more about the cases where healing didn't work out, and so in time we become skeptical in relation to healing. When we think about our health it is like by the grace of God we are healthy and we are not sure why we feel ok and are apparently healthy. It's like we are lucky, and those whom we know that are sick, have been unfortunately struck by a stroke of bad luck, for who knows w...

Notes Death is a cosmic intelligent force that is truly needed for the maintenance of order and balance in the cosmos. It has a very transcendental aspect to it.  It is far more than loss and sorrow... Essentially the teachings of life and death invite us to see death more and differtent to loss and sorrow. With Death we learnt eh essence of life. Death is needed to teach wehat is most imnportnat aboput life. Death takes us to new life in a new and transcendental way.  Death takes us intward to enter higher internal dimensions. Death brings ever and ever closer an ending and naturally when an ending is close we enter into a evaluation of what is close coming to an end. Death is the result of life. It summarises life. Death produces the summary and the end result. Death has its own particular special nature, qualities and charactistics. Just as life and birth do. Death speaks to us about an ending but there is no ending, there is with the process of death - a new beginning....

Simple but surprisingly true. If our eating changes there is something to look at in our emotions. If our sleep changes there is also something to check with our emotions. If we what we usually enjoy ceases to make us happy then there is something defintely affecting us. Eating, sleeping and enjoyment are definite and clear indicators that our psychological state is now affecting our whole life, not just one area but now the whole.  End (5816).

We truly burden and worry ourselves sick about how much we are or are not working on ourselves. That worry carried constantly becomes very detrimental to our mental and emotional health.  We can take that tension out of our lives if we just natually dirrect our presence and voluntary effort into being our consciousness. Being our consciousness we will exercise our consciousness (awaken), we will behave correctly (no karma) and we will also die in ourselves. Plus a very important thing - our worries and guilt will stop and we will consciosuly enjoy and get the most out of our life! End (5814).

We don't like or dislike things in themselves, that is how the thing really is in itself.  We don't like or dislike the experience of the thing. The experience of the reality of thing is above liking and disliking. What we like and dislike is our own idea of the thing. We don't even like or dislike another person's idea of the thing. What we like or dislike is our own idea about their idea. The real experience of the thing is different to the idea and the ideas of others. The idea traps us while the experience frees us. It's worth reviewing our ideas and seeking the experience of them and holding off on judgement and opinions until we experience. End (5813).

Life is simple if we endevour to answer to the question of the moment. A lot simpler and kinder than we think. To stick to the question of the moment is enlivening and relieving at the same time. To do this simple thing is not easy. We find that we need to train for it. We always anticipate more because we have been conditioned to feel that we fall short of the mark and so the ego always looks for more to avoid that from happening. Life does not really require more. All that life requires is that the question of the moment be answered. More ends up falling into the 'not good enough' basket. In the effort to deliver what is sufficeintly good we go over board and produce what's not required and the 'not good enough' feeling appears. When the question of the moment is seen fully the question of future consequences can be gauged accurately. Seeing the future accurately we can solve problems before they exist. End (5812).

A beautiful way to see people, is to see them as an essence just like us that needs love. An essence, as all essences are, worthy of love and whose life and well-being is transformed with love.  This is the first part. The second part is to feel the happiness within ourselves to give our love so that the other can feel loved. This can be applied for anyone. I find this the best way to see people and a better way to live. There may be hundreds of reason why can disagree with the above. Some people are not worthy of love, some people take advantage, some people will take and never give anything... Some people don't need love but correction adn ti goes on.  All these things may be true observations of people, yet there are many ways to give love... End (5811).

I think one of the most important memories to have is that of dying. Even better is that of remembering life after death while waiting for a new body. At the moment is a summary of our life. Where the most essential valuation of our life just lived is perceived. So to remember this is to know the essence of the life we just lived. It is like to read the concluding findings of a report. From these memories we can form a different view of death. A truer and more exact view. These memories reveal information that break our concepts, that generally make us sit uneasy with death. If we change the way we see and relate to death our life right now will also change. Our own life is very conditioned by the way we see death. These memories tell us that death is not as bad as we think. That coming back here is worse to face our unpaid karma and the same egos as before. It's very much like an going in for a operation. We are 'put under' then we wake up to discover if luck is on our sid...

When we through some revelation of our consciousness know what it is that we need to do in this life there is a profound shift within.  This may come late in life... But better whenever it comes than never. When you know you are at peace and you are set free. That is set free from confusion, guessing and supposition. All you have to do is to achieve it. It is all your own responsibility. In taking up that responsibility is where your power is. It is your task adn your task alone. No one will share in it with you and no one will tell you to start and no one will care or know if you are doing itshare it with you. You have one thing, one task in sight. All else that is not about that task orders itself to lower priority. Everything makes sense, you will know why such and such a thing is and was so important. Your life is about that task. No more wondering just doing and doing with purpose, love and conviction of knowing. What others say and how they judge does not matter anymore. It o...

When we suppress emotions we end up affecting our heart. Before we affect our heart we affect our heart chakra. There are all manner of ailments due to suppressing emotions. High cholestrol, high blood pressure are one of them. The way our heart chakra is affected by suppressing emotions is that it gets compressed. The result of compression is that our heart contracts. A contracted heart is one that is harder - that is on the way to becomming stone-like. A contracted heart is also a painful heart. A painful heart is a very reactive and volatile heart.   It takes a contracted heart a long time to return back to normal after a small incident. Whereas before our heart contracted, we would return to normal very quickly.  A human's beings natural capacity to expand in openess and positivity reduces greatly when our heart chakra is conrtracted. A contracted heart chakra affects the head. Where our head narrows and a certain forgetful numbness sets in where possibilities become ...

Near or close misses teach us a lot. It's like we go right to the edge and get to look down below. There we can see the danger and what's expecting us if we are to go over. It's all about timing. To be able to stop in time. This is the second level of learning. The first level is our consciousness alone, the second level is the edge and the third level is over the edge.  Maybe we have to go over the edge a few times to benefit from the learning of the edge. Maybe we have to go to the edge several times to be able to benefit from the consciousness alone. The learning from the edge goes like this: we back away and we come back to ourselves and our life and we appreciate much more what it is that we have and nearly gave away... We also learn at a deeper level how much more complete or convenient the line was that we were following before we met the edge. We may also have discovered the folly of the illusion or false values and beliefs that took us to the edge... The third typw...

We think (because of the past) that the negative outlook regarding future projects is the more real one, the more reaslistic and down to earth one. While the positive outlook is silly, new agey and airy fairy. Due to karmic memory we tend to think eveyrthing will be difficult and will go wornog or not go right so easily. However, this is very conditioned and mechanical as thinking positively and maintaining positivity while acting in alignment towards the success of the project is a conscious action that engages conscious will together with various conscious values of the soul.   End (5806).

It seems that countries for where people are more based in their motor centre crime is greater than countries where the people are more based in their intellectual centre. The main reason for this could be that people who have their centre of gravity in the motor centre act without giving serious thought to their actions. The main thought process to engage before acting is about seeing the consequences.  There are the instincts then there should be right thought then there should be action.  End (5805).

Master Samael says everyone's death is their crown. Every birthday is a birthday because the year has come to an end. In other words the year has died. So each birthday is a celebration of a death as well as a birth into a new year. It's good to train ourselves to see birth and death together always. Our suffering begins when we separate the two and only see one alone. Just like we should always see good and evil together in the same instant. Seeing both gives some transcendence and nuetrality. End (5804).

Judging is quite a karmic activity. Essentially for ourselves. I say this because so often it happens that when we judge others we end up in the same position as them and acting just the same. This is exactly the pattern of karm. It is as if the Law of Karma is saying don't judge leave that up to 'me'. It is even worse when we verbally judge others. We end up being the same with an extra bit of humiliation on top due to the inconvenience we caused them. Meditiaton teaches us not to judge mentally. While we are judging mentally we can't bring any stillness. Not judging teaches us to not align the judging of ourselves with the judgements of others. For example, someone may say that what we are doing is a waste of time and we feel upset. Why we feel upset is because we then go and align the judgment of ourselves with their judgement.  When we are in control of the way we judge ourselves we are getting free from others and our egos. We increase our power to not get identifi...

Intellectual Dimension When we see others intellectually, that is from the intellectual dimension, we tend to see them as being logical or illogical expressions, that is, logical or illogical words and actions. It sounds very cold and machine like, but that is how things tend to be and it is inline with the nature of the intellectual centre. When seeing only logic, it is unavoidable to see people in duality. That is, as either right or wrong, making sense or not making sense, logical or illogical.  As others do not often use their intellectual centre to speak and do, seeing others intellectually often produces an intellectual kind of frustration that eventually leads to a kind of irritation, because of finding it difficult not being able to understand people and their decisions. The common question is why would someone be illogical? Impossible to understand right from that point of view where everything is logic. We are often stuck in the intellectual way of seeing others and relat...

The three types of word are: 1.) the spoken word 2.) the written word 3.) the silent word It is not only important to know about the three types of word but when to use each type of word. Some things are better spoken about then written about, and for some other things it is better to write than speak. Some things it is best to keep quiet about and not speak or write... The one thing that it is not applicable to use one kind of word all the time. This leads us to great imbalance. Just as if we were to use one centre all the time we would be end up being a menace and very unbalanced and very difficult to relate to. All the daily experiences of life are training experiments for us to know about the power of each type of word and to learn which type of word is best suited for which situation. The silent word also includes the word spoken in our mind that people mostly do not hear. Sometimes people perceive our internal word through our atmosphere/mood which is a direct result from what we...

Order Related to Balance It is always critical! To have balance we need order. The right order will always set up balance. Imbalance most often comes from the wrong order to start with. The wrong order can only be sustained before balance is broken for a brief window in all cases, until the right order must come in. We all bank too heavily on that small window... There are businesses and people that make a living out of that small window. The wrong order will create imbalance. Imbalance creates inequality and injustice. Inequality and injustice then create suffering. A vicious cycle then begins... which takes a long time to rise up out of. Order and the Mind In popular terms mindset is an order in our mind. The right mindset is the right order. Balance starts in the mind, therefore the right or wrong order begins in the mind. When we are more awake we get this order and therefore balance right. When we are operating from our sleeping consciousness, identified with something other than ...
