Always Try to be in our Heavens - (5906)

The most important thing is to know always how to be in our heavens. In other words in more and more in higher states of consciousness. Which is possible by always making the effort to lift upwards within ourselves and look towards the light within us.

This is especially important when in difficult situations and we feel that we are sliding downwards.

This has to become our refuge during those times. A refuge that we can trust in time after time.

When we trust in the refuge of staying in the higher states of consciousness within oursleves we will deal with the difficulty in the best possible way and we will be able to weather the storm and wait for things to look up once again after the storm has passed.

There are situations we all do well in, and there are some that we don't. We do well in those situations because our life experience has taught us to stay higher within ourselves and we just need to apply the same learnings to stay up higher within ourselves in these other situations. 

No matter what walk or area of life, they are all storms that we need to weather by staying up higher within ourselves and waiting for it to pass. No matter, finances, relationships, health etc. etc.

Alignment Notes - (5903)

Definition

Here are some notes about the topic of alignment.

Alignment is relative. We are aligned in relation to a goal or purpose.

We can only ever talk about alignment in relation to something. As soon as we have a goal or a purpose we can speak about alignment - not before.

Just to further explain what a misalignment is, let's look at an example. Suppose we have a person whose goal it is to be a politician. What does misalignment with that goal look like? 

The answer to that question depends on the person, but if the person does not like people, is an introvert, does not like public speaking, is scared of crowds, does not like travelling or meetings, is a bad liar, then those dislikes can be considered misalignments with that goal of being a politician.

Alignment is harmony, power, focus, efficiency and our natural values in action. We are all happy when we are aligned. We are clear and we are in movement towards our goal.

When we are not aligned with a goal or purpose we all tend to suffer: confusion, draining of energies, contradictions, indecision, procrastination, uncertainity and unhappiness.

Qualities of the Essence & Aligning the Misalignment

We all carry some kind of misalignment in relation to our goals or purposes. To some degree, subtle or gross we all have misalignments.

Here it is important to know that we should not ever feel 'bad' about being misaligned, as misalignments are natural to our condition and they come to light to teach us a leasson, and to help us be better aligned for greater and deeper happiness.

It is natual that we find them. The more the better, as this is a good sign that our consciousness is working. As we shed light dark spots will natually appear to be seen. If we don't see any dark spots it is because everything is dull from a lack of light or awareness.

A part of the work on ourselves is to smooth out these misalignments in relation to our work.

There is a process of working on misalignments. 

This process starts first of all to know our misalignments. Secondly to search deep inside of each misalignment to see what value or quality of our essence is behind them.

Once we have found the value behind the misalignment we jsut then need to bring that quality into the work adn use it for the enhancement fo the work. As soon as we do that we will find that the desire behind the misalignment disappears. 

We may even see that the reason for the misalingment was for us to use that quality for our work.

The quality of our essence is not ever mislaigned, it is just conditioned to work in a way that produces a misalignment with our goals or purpose.  

As Gnostics we can examine our alignment or degree thereof in relation to the three factors. As it is the three factors that makes a person Gnostic as Master Samael taught.

Esoteric Notes

Alignment is the Law itself. The law in any form represetns a guidline about how to realte in harmony and balance with the nature of things.

Human laws are a guide for us to align oursleves with the nature of society and human life. While cosmic laws are a guide about how to relate to the cosmos in harmony and balance.

The centres functioning mistakenly cause misalignment as well. The work of aligning is always in the end about aligning our centres with our goal.

We shouldn't decide anything when we are in misalignment with our inner Being or our work.

If a Situation is Hard - Try Harder to Bring the Light - (5905)

If a situation is very difficult and there seems to be no way to move or change it for the better, and it is stuck in being heavily problematic, there is one thing to do, which is to make supreme efforts to bring the light, and above all HOLD the light.

It is not too hard to bring the light. The teachings have given us most of it. We always easily and natually know the better thing to be doing.

The real thing that makes all the difference is HOLDING the light.

To hold the light means to hold in place within us the advice from our consciousness.

What comes naturally when we are holding the light is to call upon the light both inside and outside of ourselves to help us.

End (5905).

Invitation of Any Temple - (5904)

Any and every temple no matter what denomination it belongs to and what name it goes by, offers us refuge. 

Each temple invites us to take refuge within.

As soon as we walk in to any temple it like the outside world with all its busyness and concerns falls away.

As we observe and walk into the temple we are invited to replicate the same effect an go within to take refuge within our inner temple.

Our inner temple is just like the outer one. As we enter within we leave the outside noise and enter into our inner silence.

There are even places in nature that are like temples that as soon as we enter we are invited to take refiuge within. 

This is how we know we are in a temple of nature. We are drawn within to replicate the effect of the temple which is to invite us to take refuge within.

A special space in the desert looked over by forboding invisible gaurdians, a mysterious forest clearing, a mystical cave with deep runbling echoes, a quiet stretch of beach that sings the songs gathering undines, under the shade and at the feet of grand old tree...    

How lucky we are if we can visit regualrot a true temple of nature.

By taking refuge we recuperate, gather strength and wisdom to light our way...

End (5904).

Alignment Practice Idea - (5902)

Search within ourselves to see if there is something within us is not aligned with the work, the path and the Being.

Search for anything, no matter if it is small, large, embarassing or shameful. No one is going to know or needs to know.

Anything that looks like it is not going to help us advance is useful.

If we need inspiration, ask ourselves: "what do we want?".

List our answers and see if they are going to help us to advance in the work, the path or the Being.

Take what we have selected into meditation.

Search for the value we are missing.

Our misalignments show us what we need.

Our desire of wanting something or to be something in common life is showing what we need to be inwardly.

See how to develop that quality in the work on ourselves. How can we be that in our work?

Finally, work in dissolving all that hinders us from being that quality in our work.

End (5902).

How to Love - (5901)

Introduction

This is a question that many people ask at one point in their life. Sometimes we all feel at a loss about how to love.

Here is a simple formula that we can apply to loving anything.

Formula

Step 1

Get to know ourselves in this area. Sit down quietly and explore what it means for us to love that 'thing'. Be specific.

Step 2

Explore once again what it is inside of us that stops us, resists or makes it difficult for us to love that 'thing' as we saw in step 1.

Step 3

Work on dissolving what stops us from loving as we felt in step 1.

Step 4

Love in action and continue purifying word and action.

Parting Comment

Love is the same for all things. We can love all things, this is the way to live, what changes is the way we love each thing. This is at the discretion of our consciousness...

End (5901).

Time Delay Between Acknowledge - Accept - Action - Assimulate - (5900)

This is the general process here of change. 'A' times 4, the four "A's".

First acknowledge there is a change that can be made, then accept the change, take steps to change and change in actions and finally integrate the change into our way of being.

Steps 3 and 4 happen quickly. As soon as the steps to change are being taken the action to change happens and with some subsequent changes the change begins to integrate all fairly naturally and quickly. This is because the foundation for change have previously occurred.

Step 1 can take time and it can not. Many people are able to see quickly with their intellect that a change would make things better for them and others.

Step 2 - accepting, is the one that take sso long. Years we can be talking.

The reason why is that Step 2 requires the consciousness to process, and there are layers and layers of deepening acceptance before real steps to action can be taken.

Our work always come in in working on step 2 and narrowing the time delay in getting to step 2 and working through step 2. Step 3 and 4 happen naturally once step 2 has been worked through.

Conclusion: the key to change is in the conscious ACCEPTANCE of the change.

End (5900).

The Lineage Fixes Things - (5899)

One terrific thing about being connected to a Gnostic lineage of masters who have arrived at the self-realisation and even the perfection of it, is that the experience and power of the lineage can correct us, support us, help us and work to amend where the Divine Law permits, the errors we make. Especially when we teach the doctrine and techings of the lineage.

It is not an excuse to make msitakes it is rather knowledge inspiring understanding of the power of the lineage we belong to and how the lineage supports us in the unseen background of our lives.

End (5899).

Notes on Change - (5897)

Relating to Change

Learning how to change is one of the most important things to do in life.

Why, because life always calls upon us to change.

Very few things in life can or stay the same. 

The better we relate to change the better it is for us.

The most important thing in life is to know how to change and to actually change.

The more and the better we know how to change the better we will feel in life. The better we will adapt and face the challenges of life.

Often it is not easy, maybe that is one of the reasons why we are all here, is to learn how to change.

If life never stays still and always flows, we can infer that at the essence of life is change.

Life is a series of never ending challenges and problems. 

It has to be that way doesn't it? If life were static it would be too mechanical and it would be more like death than life.

It can't be that we come to life and expect to never change. Even if we don't want to change we are changing every instant. 

There are even branches within company's that manage change nad they have their rules and policies and best practices. There is even a change manager.

Eventhough it may seem that life is all about change that does not mean that change is ad hoc and random. 

Principles and Laws

There are principles and laws that govern change.

One of the more easily observable laws are: the law of cause and effect and the law of octaves. 

The changes in life, the real changes that is, are meant to be for the better. But they are mostly never seen for the better becasue we seem not to all not like change.

We mostly like change when we are suffering or 'sick and tired' of something.

We fear the changes that seem to be for the worse. Often changes seem to be for the worse but they are not. We fear death becasue ti is a change for the apparent worse.

Change is something that some people really dislike. Not because the change is for something worse it is that because the process of changing is difficult and painful.

Change implies a process of uncertainty, a stage of instability and patience while the change is taking effect.

To change is not something lunar, it is really something solar. To not change is lunar and to be constant in virtue is not lunar either but something solar.

For something to be constant in virtue octaves and octaves are required as well voluntary effort.

Types

The are of course useless changes, which are changes that don't produce any result and there are changes which are useful producing important results. 

The changes that re useful are those that happen from deep down, at the roots or causes. That is the key to know the difference between a fickle change and real profound change.

Changes of the personality are fickle but changes that occur within the causal dimension of any person are profound and real.

End (5897).

History of Old Houses Repeat - (5898 )

It's a curious thing that this happens, same house, different people years apart, similar events.

It seems that some places can become so energised to the point of being imprinted with a certain pattern, that is powerful enough to draw people to it, to experience what has already been experienced there before.

We know some land sites and buildings because of what happened there in the past, attract similar events in the present.

These sites or places can even be called karmic as those sites and places are where karma plays out.

Court rooms, night clubs, certain sports areans, family homes, hospitals, certain streets and highways can be regarded as karmically magnetised as often the karmic debts of people are cnacelled or started at these sites and places.

End (5898).

Karmic Puppets and Mathematics of the Administrators - (5893)

Karma seems cruel at times. But it really isn't cruel, it is always trying to help us balance ourselves, cancel our debts and learn our lessons for the good of our soul.

The reason why it seems cruel is because it is processed above the emotional human dimension.

Being outside the human emotional dimension means that pleasing the human emotions is not the priority there are other higher bigger picture priorities to attend to.

The way to not see it as cruel and see it more as it is, is to raise our sight up to the higher dimensions. Especially that dimension of mathematics and mathematical operation with values.

The administrators are aware of the human emotional dimension, and they know that they have to use that dimension to form a vehicle such as a relationship that will allow the processing of karmic debts and thus bring the two people to balance.

The karmic administrators move the will of people to form allainces and relationships for the karmic debts to be processed. They also give incentives, support and relief so that the karmic relationships maintain just themselves going so that they don't break apart before the karmic debt is paid.

From the persepctive of the karmic dimension we can see that the goal is to organise things so that karma is paid efficiently and balance is accurately restored.

Efficiency can be achieved in many ways, at one end it is with a high intensity and frequncey of suffering and the other end is high intensity and frequency of merit generating works powered by the human expression of divine values flowing out through the people involved.

The administrators of karmic debts don't mind so much about working inline with the feelings and desires of the human emotional dimension, they operate on a higher mathematical level, bringing values together in such a way that imbalnces can be cancelled. 

Events where values are exchanged are provoked by the imbalances within the people involved. The  administrators depending on the future, destiny, level of being and consciousness of one or more of the people involved, can modify those events, making the nature and outcome softer or harder.

The administrators can modify events on their own accord according the variables in the mathematical equations of the events people involved, or they can modify events based on our consciously made negotiations. 

All in all the more conscious we are about the nature of our karmic debts, the more we can see into the events of our lives and the more we can do to pay better, more and smarter.

End (5893).

Tonnes of Good Will - (5896)

In general, when something comes up a lot in ourselves to the degree that we notice it everywhere and all nearly all the time, it is the moment for us to work on what we are noticing and it could be a stage of work we need to complete for some internal need or reason of our Inner Being.

One of the best things in life is good will and the will to do good. 

Good will and the will to do good are the things that are the most helpful to others and ourselves. 

Good will and the will to do good are different.

The will to do good comes to us from the cosmos, we receive inspiration to do good through our crown chakra.

To do good will we need the will to do good. The will to do good is in real short supply in some many people all over the globe.

The will to do good is more aligned with the will to good for others. That is why teh will to do good comes from a very expansive space and when we allow it expression in ourselves it expands us and connects us to the expansive space it comes from.

The will to do good and good will both are very powerful. They connect us to ourslevs and to the cosmos.

How backward is ill-will? In the sense that it can't propel us forward to new levels and heights within us or even how far will it get us in human life?

Truly having the will to do good and acting with good will protects us. We feel less fear when we can see that there is good will within us.

Good will is open and clear. Acts of ill-will always make us to want to hide.

To do good is very difficult because we harbor so much ill-will. To start to do good will we need to find out what is it in ourselves that believes we can't do good or what we have against doing good.

Because we all come from the Milky Way Galaxy we are made up of the nature of the Galaxy where there is the will to do good and so it is in our nature, we just have to find what blocks it.

End (5896).

The Feigner's Sufferings: Depression and Panic - (5895)

When we are not fully integrated into something, such as when we are not 'walking the talk" this is what we can have the tendency to feel: panic and depression at the extreme end, or anxiety and sadness in the middle.

We feel panic when are with others and depression when we are by ourselves.

In front of others, not being whole, we feel that our lack of genuinity will be exposed, revealing that we are pretending to know.

By ourselves we feel empty, and when we feel empty we tend to feel low and depressed. This is because the value we hold of ourselves drops.

End (5895).

Growth Mindset - (5894)

The commonly called growth mindset is something that we need in the work on ourselves. So often, we become bitter and resistant to change.

To change with the work on ourselves is to GROW!

The growth mindset when fully embraced is about being excited and about applying the newly learnt knowledge. It is equally as excited about making the first mistakes. Because the growth mindset knows that learning happens with mistakes.

The growth mindset is all about learning to move past the mistakes.

Such a mindset makes a huge difference in how fast we change ourselves through the work.

End (589L).

Can't Do Something? Find First What is Against Our Belief that we Can Do It - (5892)

That's the first thing to do when we are stuck with something that we think that we can't do is to find what beliefs we have that are stopping us.

What beliefs do we have that make us think we can't or that it is too hard?

There ae some, they are there. If we find them and dismantle them. Things shift quite a bit.

We mostly all have the qualities that are needed, it is just our beliefs blocking them.

It is not really the case all the time that we ahve to go about building the quality that we need to do the thing we want to. It is more the case to dismantle the negative beliefs.

It is often the belief system that seperates two people, one who triumphs and one who doesn't. They are often equal in abilities, even the one who fails may be more capable and able than the one who triumphs.

End (5892).

Focus on Attrubutes to Be Consciousness - (5888)

A good way to help us be consciousness is to focus on one or two attributes of the consciousness and to really embrace those attributes.

One such attribute is naked awareness. Awareness that is formless knowing without any covering or dressing - meaning no interests to pursue or protect.

Awareness is not tangible and no issues can really stuck to it or hook into it. Sticking to or hooking into is for molecular objects.

If we focus on using our conscious imagination one of the attributes of the consciousness that makes the most sense to you it can be of a good help.

End (5888).

Self-Remembering is when we Hold Our Principles - (5891)

There are so many ways to remember ourselves and our Inner Being.

Remembering our Inner Being is not limited to being in the moment, relaxing our mind and praying to our Inner Being. There are really many expressions.  

When we don't get identified with anything that we are not, we are remembering ourselves.

The title of this post is about that situation when we are tempted becasue inside and outside pressure to let go of our values, ethics, principles, morals etc. and go with something that is not ours. 

For example, we drop fighting for what is right because of fear or any lower principle that is not of the nature of our Inner Being.

To hold to our principles is self-remebering and many people do this everyday in so many ways that go unnoticed. The thing is to do this momentarily and globally for our life's direction and purpose.

End (5891).

What You Are - You Are Unlimitied In - (5890)

What we are, we are. We can not be what we are.

For example, a doctor is a doctor and he being a doctor can not be a doctor. Because that is what and who he is. 

A doctor will always help others who are sick, anytime, everywhere and anyone.

Same thing for a Gnostic. If we are a Gnostic we will always do what a Gnostic does, of course mostly imperfectly but still clear enough to recognise the Gnostic principles at work in word and deed.  

To put a limit on that or organise a limit or a time to that, it is not Being. It is not really being something. Because being something is being that all the time.  

One does not see limits to what one is. We only see limits to what we are not.

End (5890).

Brain Fog Energy Cleansing - (5883)

Brain fog is a real thing. Yet a very mysterious thing. It seems as though there is not yet a full understanding of what it is and what causes it. The symptoms are well known yet the causes not as much.

As mysterious as it is, one thing though is that we can't rule out, is that it has something to do with the body's flow of energies.

When we have brain fog it is like our brain's energies are not flowing or there is some kind of conjestion or blockage that forms a heavy cloiud surrounding our brain inside our skull.

Some of the symptoms of brain fog are: we feel vague about everything that is going on, what has been already discussed becomes burry, memory turns into quarter memory (25%), thinking is slow and our usual good insight into ourselves and the issues of our life narrows and feels blocked. 

Brain fog is worse when we over a period of time, frequently experience states of anger and emotional upset. 

Anger especially has the effect of disconnecting us from our intellectual faculties, especially memory. Anger certainy produces what is called vexation, which is very similar to the symtpoms of brain fog. 

From an energetic point view brain fog can definitely come from very conjested chakras and a polluted aura. Especially a heavy and conjested solar plexus chakra.

When we are not feeling angry all the time, and our diet is fairly clean we then next look at the cleanliness of our vital body and it's energy systems.

If our vital body's energies are not flowing and are conjested then it is logical that we are going to feel some kind of heaviness, blockage and conjestion.

The proof is to do some practices that will clean our energy body and get our body's vital energies flowing. 

Generally we are very heavy energetically speaking, too much heavy food, not moving energy, not transmuting and constantly stuck in negative heavy emotion all contribute to brain fog.

Often physical exercises helps lift  brain fog because physical exercise activates the vital body and causes energy to move through our vitalbody thus unblocking areas of conjestion.

Practices with our Divine Mother and the Christic fire help to clean our bodies of all the energies that have become dense and are blocking the flow. Try this and observe the effects on the symtpoms of brain fog.

Why a Country is Doing it Tough? - (5889)

Why is any country in difficulty. Using our mind we don't really know exactly why. Our hope is in a revelation of the consciousness or in some internal exprience where the history of the country can be seen from the karmic and inner values perspective.

Even if there is no revelation of the consciousness forthcoming, there can be intuition, insight and general principles as to why a country is in difficulty.

There are always human physical reasons though lets go deeper to explore some other dimensions.

One factor that comes to everyone's mind is karma. There are no effects without a cause. A country suffers much poverty and distress, which is an effect and there must be a cause for it. There is national - country karma. The point is that for there to be such effects in a country, that nation must have done something in the past to other nations or its own people to now be experiencing these effects. The nature of the effects tells us the nature of the cause.

In many ways a country's destiny and experiences are determined a lot by the government. The government after all is the reflection of country and the country is the sum of the individuals. If a country embezzles, mismanages and steals then it is because there is support for that in the people, in the sense that the people carry of these traits, or they are not radical about eliminating those traits and tolerate those traits beyond what is sustainable.

There is corruption in every nation at every level. It is that in some nations the level of it is not so great as to cripple the country whil ein other nations the degree of it, it is too much that it cripples the nation.

Another interesting point is the spirituality or occult practices of a country. If in mass a country's people  often resort to black magic (supported by tradition) to solve their human problems then it makes sense that the constant presence of those forces and the karma that black magic brings accumualtes in the atmosphere of the nation and brings its results into the physical.

Black magic use can be seen as a way of using occult forces to force justice in one's favour, to only later have to deal with the backlash resulting from its use. Often that backlash is dealt with by using more black magic and the cycle never ends, imbalance after imbalance and ruination is produced in the process.

Another point is the inner values of the country. A country and its people may not be very benevolent and generous to other nations and to their own people.

A country's customs and beliefs may be outdated and no longer practical for the current times and cause much imbalance in people trying to uphold them. In this case it is a lack of adaptation and consciousness to reevaluate and rebalance these things.

End (5889).

Precipitation Backlash - (5886)

In general, when we precipitate, that is take action before the due time, we create a disturbance in the order of things as well as a disturbance in the unseen plan for ourselves and others in our life.

Always a disturbance in the order and plan (balance) of things, incurrs a backlash of some kind.

Precipitating we may advance but only later to have to face the backlash, which often means to face the wait that we were avoiding in the first place and why precipitated.

Either way order and balance are always fulfilled.

End (5886).

Greed and Gluttony Lead to Theft - (5887)

Theft is down deep in the abyss. Dante locates it in the 8th circle. 

When something is located towards the bottom of the tree with many factors above, we can understand that this bottom dwelling element is the combined result the many factors above it. 

It is the culmination of several factors that are lighter than it, with their combination forming something that is heavy.

For example, Malkuth is the synthesis of the whole tree of life, Kether is synthesised in Malkuth, and Malkuth is the heavier and densest of all that is above it.

So theft is the result of many factors above it. Such as greed and gluttony, as well as fear. Because of the combination of the several egoic factors we steal and betray.

That is why theft is at the bottom. At first theft does not seem too bad, however with a careful examination it is something very impactful because it breaks high values - namely trust that greed and and gluttony do not break. Greed and gluttony by themselves are their own weight, however combined into producing theft they make a very heavy combination that gravitates down low towards the bottom of the abyss or infra-dimensions.

End (5887).

A Good Way to Die is to Try to Be Consciousness - (5885)

A good way to die in ourselves is to be our consciousness.

When we are our consciousness we give oursleves so many chances, almost moment to moment to die in ourselves.

The whole question is really about how we can be our consciousness.

That's the hard part.

We can try focussing on awareness. Become awareness. Understand that awareness is formless, without identity, without colour, intangible and invisible. 

Awareness is naked, it is not dressed in anything and nothing is attached or stuck to it.

Awareness expands, contracts, illuminates and recognises, as well gives cognisance.

Use the imagination to be exactly that intangible, transparent, formless, without identity yet full of seeing, knowing and cognisance. 

These elements above of the consciosuness lead to comprehension and aware/conscious action.

Being the consciousness that way, in any environment, is the same as to meditate and when we are in that state we can make ourselves ready to die in ourselves.

We can see and be alert to die in ourselves. 

The key to it all is to keep the identity to be the consciousness. That is we MUST forget you as a person, your name, your job, your pain, your difficultites and limitations, your relationships... Instead be formless, transparent, naked and flowing - where ntohing sticks and hooks onto you.

Practicing this will accelerate your work and it will not be something dry and difficult. We will find meaning and joy in it. 

End (5885).

Runes for Stuck and Conjested Energy - (5882)

One of the best uses of the Runes is to allow new energies to flow into us and through us.

When we feel stuck, confused, can't focus, can't comprehend something and are just feeling like a heavy blob - moping around not knowing what to do and not feeling like doing anything either, we need to move energies.

If we feel resistance to do that - for sure we need to do that.

Then we know what to do. Do our favourite rune or the most appropiate one and allow the energies to be received move through us, and for us to also generate energies within us.

Some physical exercise is good, as it activates and stimulates the vital body which helps us to move energies through our whole system, which prepares us to meditate and go inside to comprehend or see what it is that we need to see.

End (5882).

To Die is not to Manage or Solve - (5884)

To die is to not work out a way to manage the situation. It is not to solve the event, nor is it to control ourselves nor is it to respond properly and correctly.

It is to not have the fear for example, present within us that would take the impressions of the event and react.

To die is to have disassembled and disconnected from our psyche a mental - emotional program held together by conditioned will.

What happens in the event when we have dissolved that "I" or part of myself is up to us, there is no program taking over anymore.

End (5884).

Anything you want for Yourself Give to Others First to Have It - (5879)

If there is ever something that we want for ourselves, whether that be recognition, love, appreciation, care, understanding, mentorship, accpetance, encouragement, company etc. then to get that we need to give it to ourselves first and then give it to others.

This is not the answer that we want to hear but it unfortunately it is the only that makes sense and works.

To somehow pressure it or force it out of others is just too hard, unrelaible and turns people away from us.

The way to get those things, not judging if they are appropiate or not, is to begin to give those exact things to ourselves then to others.

As we start to do that we are cultivating that power within us and soon we will be able to give it more to others in purer ways which will then by the law of reciprocity come to us by itself from others.

We can't give to others what we don't have.

In the end, what happens is that we don't really want those things from others, we actually want to be able to have those values from ourselves. Then what has the most meaning to us is give those things to others. To want those things for ourselves from others loses meaning totally.

End (5879).

Gnosis without a Lineage Doesn't Work - (5881)

Many people say that they are Gnostic and according to the general spirit of Gnosis which is to know oneself, they are Gnostic. Yet Gnosis without a lineage doesn't work for the path.

Gnosis with a lineage connects us to the path. Especially when those of the lineage walked the path.

Gnosis without a linneage is like a lose thread blowing in the breeze. The end goal is difficult to see and stability is hard to come by.

All those masters who were before us, all belonged to a lineage and walked the path because of their connection to that lineage and because of the support of that lineage.

The guru is a link in a lineage that goes all the way back to the source of the one where the final liberation is. Furhermore the guru connects us to that linneage, where the guru's role is to make us into a link in that same lineage.

Gnosis without a lineage doesn't in the end really go anywhere. All those people who in the end leave  Gnosis without a lineage, mostly don't really end up where they originally wanted to end up.

Facing Horrifying Thoughts - (5880)

When we are in a negative state, and sometimes not in a negative state, we can experience very negative thoughts, that easily scare and shock us. We often think: "how can I be thinking that!", "what is going on, how did such negativity come to be insinde of me?".

What happens is that the thoughts pass and afterall they are just thoughts and we return to normal. What though is the worst thing about the whole experience of very negative thoughts, is not knowiung what to do with them and leaving what thought them unexamined.

If there are very negative thoughts, we can think immediately to what the opposite of them is, and straight away know within us that we have the power of the opposite within us. Those scary thoughts are the very opposite of the beauty we have within before there were the negative thoughts. Let's see an example.

For example, a very cruel, senseless and callous thought appears, the opposite is kindness, care, support, protection which is what we actually have in our essence, but has since become partly conditoned in the opposite, somehow and for some reason along the way.

As soon as we see that, we know where the negative thought comes from, and that it is the opposite of our innate qualities of our essence.

The thing to do next is to focus on the opposite to the negative thought and use the contrast to choose and shed more light within. One thing we often see when we do this is that the negative thought is telling us to be more of the opposite, which for eh example above was to be more kind, caring, supportive and protective.

Spiritual Bypassing Trap - (5878)

This happens frequently in spiritual studies. It is actually a big shortcomming and causes many delays and unnecessary problems.

It is a kind of delusion where we see that because we are in Gnosis or some other kind of serious spiritual study, we think so many foundations and basics don't apply to us. It is like those foundations are not needed or that they can be bypassed.

Meanwhile we think they these foundations don't apply we try to operate at a high spiritual level and yet we just crash and crash.

For example, misled by "spiritual bypassing' we don't give importance to the basics in relationships such as communication skills. Then our relationships start to falter and we are there thinking that they shouldn't and hacvig to communicate properly is for sleeping stupid people. 

The ego behind spiritual bypassing is pride. It's good to discover this and let it go. Pride really dislikes it because it means to accept that we are just the same as everyone else and we need to start where everyone else is at.

'Giving-In' is not a Conscious Kindness - (5877)

Conscious kindness is the one that is reciprocated handsomely! 

When we give consciously, that is fully, without contradiction and in full knowing and declaration, the law of reciprocity returns what we have given with a handsome return.

When we give in, we are not really being kind. We may think that we are kind or generous and what we have given will return to us, but we are really just giving from weakness from giving in often against our better judgement, and agaisnt our inner balance or law.

When we give in and we are being 'kind' we are giving unconsciously, and unconscious giving or kindness is not reciprocated.

There maybe some reciprocity from the unconsciosu giving, but it will not be as handsome as when we do it consciously. There is disappointment and future difficulties.

Often giving unconsciosuly, that is with contradiction and agianst ourselves, we are taught the lesson that to give that way produces difficulties, either outside or within ourselves and there is not reciprocity.

We have all experienced this and we have this knowledge within us.

Don't Make Decisions Out of Fear or Misalignment with Your Essence - (5875)

There is wonderful advice that goes - "Don't make decisions when you are in pain.". This is really wise advice.

Very similar to this is the advice to not make decisons when you feel scared or are struggling with your instincts. 

When we are scared or are struggling with instincivve desires not being met we come out of alignment with our essence and spirit.

Any decision that we can make being out of alignment and stuck in the thinking of the lower principles we are not going to make sound decisions.

Decisions made from misalignment with our essence won't serve our spiritual work. They will create suffering later on when dealing with their consequences and trying to undo them.

When people are overcome by their instincts, even if it be due to poverty, lack of sleep, hunger, physical discomfort, we can make decisions that lead to crime. In fact many crimes are decided that way, that is out of instinctive desire.

When Stuck Have to Give to Shift - (5873)

When we stuck adn we all do at some point, in whaterver way it may be, to get unstuck the solution is to be to give something.

After we give something for a certain duration things shift.

There are two ways to give. One is to give externally and the other is to give internally.

To give externally is to give of our services and ourself for the benfit of the environemnet in which we are stuck in.

To give interanlly means to give a reversal of attitude from the negative to the positive and hold that until it becomes stable and a part of our way of being in the environment in which we are stuck. We also have to be that outside of that environment and everywhere else.

We often are not really giving anything, or we are not giving enough or we simply giving in the wrong direction.

So often we are totally blocked to giving and we don't even realise it. 

If we give something and wait for it to work within ourselves and in the environment and then observe the shift.

Until We See Something as No Longer Being Harmless There Will be No Change - (5874)

For as long as we see something as harmfuless or nuetral or meaningless we will never change.

It only ever happens that as soon as we see even in the slightest that some habit is not useful to us, we start to change.

When see or believe something as having no consequence or not being harmful for us we won't change.

When we still get something from it, we see it as good or nuetral we won't change.

We keep things because somewhere in our mind we believe it is either good, serving some purpoose or it is not harmful.

Even when we see intellectually something as not being helpful, that does not matter in the slightest, meanwhile we still believe or think that it is harmless.

"He Who in the Moment of Ecstasy Gives Dust" - (5872)

There are special moments in life where there is a heartfelt conscious opening. 

Sometimes it is when we realise the suffeering and hardhsip of the people in front of us. Sometimes it is a supreme moment of gratitude, sometimes it is seeing how we have made ourselves suffer, sometimes it is when we see how we have made others suffer and finally sometimes it is when we feel bliss and happiness...

In these moments is when we have to give something! At least a deep heartfelt thank you or sorry or love or gratitude or just moved by the opening to give something of ourselves.

When we don't give something in these moments is when we are going, well not to say something negative, but I would say cold... Which for the individual looking at him or herself is something to be alarmed by.

In a very ancient ritual it says when "in the moment of ecstasy one gives dust then all will be denied to him".

Lesson Behind So Many Circumstances of Waiting and Waiting - (5871)

There are situations in our lives where situations with the same quality repeat and repeat.

These situations painfully repeat until we learn the lesson of teh value that we lack that makes them occur.

We lacking learning adn application of some kind of quality or power.

There are circumstances where we are forced to wait and wait and while waiting important or critical life issues are held in check.

In these periods it is easy to see things as looking bleak and it is easy to dispair. Everyone else around has it all together and is doing all ok - safe and secure yet evetyhting for us seems to be hanging in the balance.

The powers to be learnt are hope and faith and the lesson culminates in combining them together to continue fighting.

These circumstances are to make a person into a fighter. 

In every battle or fight there are always these pauses, as brief as they are sometimes, they are where the outcome of the battle is decided. 

If in those pauses the warrior lowers his efforts, he may well be deciding what comes next.

It is better to continue fighting towards the result when the result is just and know then to give up and never know.

Know Your Cosmic Ray by Knowing the Rays of Others - (5871)

We can't learn anything from an empty bubble.

So just focussing on ourselves we won;t find out too much.

However, by observing our interaction with others and looking to and knowing their cosmic ray will shed light on the mystery of our own ray.

The value often appears in contrast. To contrast we need others.

If you know someone that defintely knows their ray (not just from a dream but consistently verified through the many spheres) then interact with them and notice the contrast or lack of that appears between you and them in various issues.

From the contrast look into the light of the spark that appears bit by bit, and build up your evidence to one day soon, piece them all together into a clear picture of what your ray is.

If We Have the Courage to Dissolve it All - We Have the Courage to Build It up - (5870)

If for example, we have the courage to contemplate dissolving an enterprise that we have built up for years and are prepared to go through all the trouble that it will mean for ourselves and others, then we have the courage to stay in that business and build it up again and like Trump says - "make it great again!".

That's a direct statement to the "I" of negative self-compassion. If that "I" for example thinks it can destroy something wonderful becasue it is getting hard and is not going well, and suffer through all the consequences then that "I" has to know that there is courage enough within us to repair and build it up again. 

With that in mind there is no powerful reason for it to then use its will wrongly to destroy everything. The consciosuness must step in adn rebuke that "I" sending it back adn not listen to any of tis logic and act towards reapir and enhancement.

Stuck for Clarity - Change Centres - (5869)

Sometimes for some things we need clarity before we feel ready to proceed. So questions and questions and clarifying answeres please is the tone.

Clarity is always good. If we get stuck in trying to find it though it becomes a bit of a hinderance but it does not have to be. 

What we can do is to change centres and look at the issue from a different centre. 

If the intellect is stuck for clarity, then try it out with action, or see how it feels, look at the issue from the feelings. Emotions are very important that is what drives us all.

Usually changing centres and looking from a different centre brings something new that helps us in our quest for clarity.

Remedy When Sleep at Night Becomes Aweful - (5868)

Some people don't like the experience of sleeping, either because of experiencing nightmares, waking up with a sore neck that takes all day to fix, feeling unwell when waking up or just having a night full of stressful and busy dreams. 

There are not too many people like, however there are such people. What remedy do they have? 

Sleep a lot less is one, though that becomes unviable after a while, as our waking life soon suffers. The other option is to seek ways to improve our experience while asleep.

Day and night are intimately linked. The internal state we experience during the day repeats at night. One of the solutions to a good night's expereince is to change the way we experience the day.

This entails making efforts to lift our level of the Being during our day.

The more consciously we live the day so as to better experience the night, pays off during the night while we are asleep.  

To be more conscious at night during our sleep we need to be much more conscious during our day. Which means very actively transforming negative internal states into positive ones that are lighter and freer.

As soon as we can see he direct connection between the internal side of our day and our quality of experience at night we are able to make changes.

Basically the remedy is to actively seek during the day as many positive internal states as possible so that we can set up positive interal states for our night-time experience.

Respecting Both Our Mistakes and 'the Better Way' Dissolves Anger - (5869)

What triggers anger so much of the time in people is having made some kind of mistake. Where after making the mistake we are angry at ourselves or angry at the people upset at our mistake.

If we master this one situation we can dissolve most of our anger and prevent angry situations for ever appearing.

As soon as we make a msitake, look inside and respect why we made it. There will be reasons and then respect those reasons. Understand why we made the mistake and respect the reasons why even if they were wrong. To do this because anger will overwhelm us as soon as we disrespect ourselves or go against ourselves.

Many would argue in the big picture of things there are no mistakes...

Be ok with the mistake we made and then look to see and understand the better way. Know and understand that the correct or better way is the not the mistake we made and respect the better way as it will produce better results for us.

With this respect going both ways, repsecting our mistake, why we made it and respecting the non-mistake ('the better way') we don't need to protect ourselves and therefore we don't need anger and even fear to appear to protect ourselves.

Try this and you will see how it works. Try it the very next time a mistake is made, big or small, it doesn't matter and then see how this double respect takes us out of blame, our of justification and to embracing comprehension which makes everything better.

To Love Oneself and to Love to Fix Oneself - (5867)

To love the whole beingness of ourselves raises our level of the Being. 

It is always as soon as we fall out of the love for ourselves we release the ego and say and do things which lower our level of the Being. 

To love our whole beingness is wonderful in any person because we can then give love to others because it is there to give. 

A very important element of this love for our beingness is to love to correct and fix ourselves.

The reality is, we have a lot to correct, repair, balance and fix. To love our beingness means to love to do that because it enhances our beingness. 

To love to correct ourselves for what it is better, or more real or correct means to love to see in us what needs adjusting.

To not want to see ourselves or meet ourselves is to not love ourselves. We all love to see what we love.

More Balance Notes - (5818)

Rebalancing

Steps to rebalance: 

1.) Seek silence within and without.

2.) From the silence, investigate and look for truth. 

(Balance canot be struck without knowing the truth of the situation. Wait if necessary for more of the truth to come out.)

3.) See the many angles of the situation, including the wider and greater picture. See also the past, the present and the future. 

(Seeing is very importnatn for balance. Remember the eye at the apex or balance point of the triangle )

4.) Assess the situation. Taking note where the imablances are.

5.) Establish the reference point to balance around.

6.) See the situation from the chosen reference point.

7.) Make decisions with the reference point being the central priority.

8.) Be balanced in carrying out the decisions made. Balance takes into account the well-being of others.

Notes:

Balance is the past, the present and the future taken into account.

Balance is seeing all aspects. Not just one side.

Balance does not cause pain.

Balance is based on the right order set according to the chosen reference point. Balance restores the order that is productive towards your aims.

Silence

There is a big relationship between balance and silence. Let's have a look.

Silence does not us into more debt.

Inner silence does not allow us to judge which unbalances us straight away.

Inner balance allows things to come into harmony.

Inner silence allows us vision to put things into perspective and for things to settle to within ourselves to see what is important and what is not. It allows discernment.

It allows serenity to decide correctly about things.

It stops things getting out of control thus losing balance.

It magically heals within us creating harmony. It does this becasue it allows our consciousness to become more active within us.

Emotional Activation Equals Black and White Thinking - (5865)

When our emotions become activated we then go into into very black and white thinking which comes out as very black and white sentences and stances on the issue.

It's interesting that before becomming emotional we are in a normal state, that is more flexible in our point of view and in our general stance on the issue.

The intellectual centre has the capacity to be open to a spectrum of possibility.

In some circumstances, it is not of benefit to become emotional. It is be better to stay seperate giving ourselves the capacity to be firm when needed and flexible also when needed.

For the Alchemy Love is Truly Needed - (5863)

Love is not needed to have sex. As can be seen in the modern day, sexuality is mostly made possible by there being an absence of love. In many ways it relies on there not being love.

For the Ark or the practice of Alchemy also known as supra-sexuality, love is uncompromisingly needed, and an uncommon love at that.

The quality of this uncommon love is depth. A love with spiritual depth is needed.

That is why Alchemy fails or simply can not be practiced among couples because there is not the depth of love present.

Many couples marry without having developed that depth of love bwtween them or in them and so their practice of Alchemy does not work out.

The love needed has to go all the way to the level of the Monad.

The practice of the Ark can only be done properly and sustained with a love that goes to the depth of the Monad. At least a love that takes into account the Monad of yourself and the other person.

A reason to practice beyond pleasure can only really be found when thinking of the Monad. Knowing that the practice of Alchemy is needed by the two Monads is the most complete and deepest motivation and sustaining factor. 

Knowing that when we deny the practice to the other we are denying our Monad and the Monad of the other person.

Working for our Monad takes us above so much human level awkwardness, clumbsiness and mismatch of expectation, that with normal skin deep love, would normally cause the practice to come to a grinding halt.

We can be lazy and negligent for the practice when it is only for ourselves, but when we see that it is for the benefit of two Monads it is a different story. One can no longer be lazy and negligent. 

Now days we need that love to practice. In ancient times in Egypt it was different, the two people did not have a marriage, but they both had awakening where that love for the Monad was very present. Now days we have a marriage but not that love. The two essential ingredients are a serious relationship and that love which goes to the level of the Monad.

If you Know Me Somewhat Don't Read this Blog - (5864)

It is always the case that the living person and the writer are different. One expects to find the writer in the person but they don't. 

The writing is always more on the side of the ideal. For the purposes of learning, the ideal is useful, and it continues being useful while we keep it as an ideal to aspire to in our own lives. 

However, to look for the ideal in a living person, will always bring shortfalls... 

As soon as we take the ideal and apply it to others the ideals stops being useful it upsets others and disappoints ourselves. 

Often people who know me, think that I am writing about them, and that is very often not the case.

If you know me as a person, to avoid confusion and disappointment bear this in mind and read carefully or or either give yourself a break from this blog for a while.

Find Your Being in the Light of Every Situation - (5862)

Every situation has a dark part and a light part.

When we let the ego out we experience and participate in the dark part of the event.

When we look to the work and to the light, and we go towards that, we find the light part of the event and we also find our Being.

Everyone's Being is to be found in the light part of the event.

For example, someone in our family is angry and we react with anger, we have just then found the dark part of the event. When we look upwards to the work and truly embrace the correct inner state, the one where we transcend anger and become patience and love, we find our Inner Being.

This is how we can always find our Inner Being, event by event.

After knowing this we can't say anymore, I can't find my Being...

Role of the Consciousness with Sensations - (5860)

Experience of Sensations

Being an essence in a human body means to experience so many sensations. There are so many kinds and types of sensations that we can experience.

Eventhough there are so many kinds of sesnsations, these different kinds are all available to the human mind to add to, give meaning to, create worry from, play down and ignore, exaggerate, crave and so on and so on.

As there are many kinds of sensations there are just as many ways the human mind can take them.

Some are pleasant and some are unpleasant, and some people find pleasant what others don't, and so it goes...

Meaning Of

Most sensations mean something for the essence inside the body. The sensation of a full stomach means to stop eating. Some other sensations are indicators of what the body is doing and what is going to happen next ,or what needs to happen for the sake of the well being of the body.

There are those sensations above that are clearly biological and instinctual, that can be observed and obeyed or they can be observed and overridden, but not for too long.

Truths

What though is the truth amongst all of this? One truth is that sensations can be influenced by our mind. Another truth is that sensations can be turned into emotion by our mind.  

The essential point of these truths resides in the discernment of the consciousness based on what is convienient in the given moment.

It is not in the nature of the consciousness, not having a physical body, to be enslaved by the body and its sensations. It is in the nature of the consciousness to be very aware of the body and relate to it in an edifying and dignifying way, but to be trapped and enslaved by it.

The consciousness has within it the power to discern and choose. We all this from our studies.

Another truth is that there are the sensations, and the sensations make us feel something, and then there is the meaning given to the sensation by our mind. This meaning is often exaggerated, and that exaggeration turns into something else, far from the extent of the sensation.

All the parts of the body are equal and their sensations are the same in the sense that they are indicators of that body part's functions.

This is very important to understand, There is not sensation produced by the body that is without reason, super special, incomprehensible and beyond our capcity to deal with and seperate the hype or meaning our mind gives it. 

It then comes to the consciousness to be aware of the sensations and be discerning the correct meaning given to the sensations. It comes to the consciousness to definitely control the meanings given by the mind and if needed to do something, or not do something.

Hypnotised by Fear Produces all Kinds of Non-Sense Horror - (5861)

Horror movies are produced through fascination with different psychological defects - with the main one being fear and violence. 

When we are deeply hypnotised by fear, we create all kinds of non-sense beliefs that range from the deeply supernatural on the sinister side to the gravely negative at the human level.

The huge hypnosis of fear within the person produces intense scary feelings that the person tends to reject. That rejection is then the rejection of themselves, because they are the ones who are producing those scary feelings. 

As it is difficult to handle the rejection of ourselves it switches straight away to the perception that a supernatural force is involved. 

That rejection then in the background unknown to us, projects all sorts of horror stories against ourselves.

When hypnotised like that the very common feeling is that there is a strange supernatureal power in control.

In most cases it is just the case of a huge fear that we are too weak to face and try and separate from.

Political Values Notes - (5854)

The ray of politics exists and what gives this ray life are its values. These are the so-called values of politics.

These values of which politics works with, believe it or not, are actually quite high. 

These values descend from high up in the tree of life. They actually find their natural place in the higher spheres.

The question is what are these values? This is the objective of this post. 

These values are actually difficult to find directly. However, if we use duality we can read these values straight from what reality shows.

We can see what these values are if examine politics in the human field. As above so below. 

It is easier to see the values involved from the oppposite. That is look at bad politics. 

So if we look at bad politics in all its aspects and apply the opposite we will arrive at the divine values within politics. That is the vital organs of the Divine ray of politics.

So what does bad poltics do? 

Firstly, at elections, hope is built and later crushed. Promises are broken. Lies are made to cover up corruption, unfair policies are made, mismanagement/mispending of tax payer funds, the interests of the people are not served, conflict and unrest within the country, worsening foreign relations and so on. 

Then applying the opposite of the above points we get respectively: hope, trust, truth, justice, balance, service, peace, co-operation and so on.   

On a national level when these values are used correctly a whole country can propser but when used inccorectly a country can be ruined. There are many examples of this throughout history.

In summary, hope, trust, truth, integrity, harmony, unity, peace and productivity are its essential values.

These values are related to Jupiter in classic esotericism.

The values politics work with, are the values embodied by the higher parts of the Being. That is why in the field of politics in those who occupy high positons of human authority, the higher parts of the Being within the person are more active and brought forward to participate in the human work of the person within the field of politics. 

The issue is that because these values are so high and demanding to relate to, human beings fall short and misuse these values.

What comes with these values is power. Rightly so because these values are the ones that can do the most good or most harm.

Powerful Being Rough Personality - (5859)

Everyone has a powerful Being, this is because it is the nature of the Divinity.

Here in the world of relativity, the Inner Being or the Spiritual part of a person can be easier to perceive at certain times then at other times.

In one of those rare and precious moments when the Inner Spiritual Being of a person can be perceived, we can see that the Inner Being is powerful, is full of love, is full of inspiration and iniative to help others.

That the Inner Being in It's spheres. Here in the human sphere, it is a little different. The love, inspiration and initiative of the Inner Being descends into it's human part, and because the human part has a personality, concepts and egos, that love, inspiration and initiative gets distorted and expresses in words and actions on a spectrum of algnment with the source. This spectrum of alignment covers results that are in close alignement in opposite alingment with the Inner being's intention to help.

The Inner Spiritual Being is powerful and full of love yet the human being with the human personality is very rough and is a rough and imperfect instrument that only partly truly represents the inspiration, strength and genius of the Inner Being.

That is why passifying the personality and dissolving the "I's" gives the Inner Being more purity of expression here in the physical world.

The role of wisdom here takes its maximum function, which is to know how to express that love, inspiration and initiative of the Inner Being here in the physical appropiately and for the best results.

Always, always, the more passive the personality, the less concepts and judgments in the mind, and the less ego, the easier it is for this wisdom of the consciousness to guide the human being to express the help descending from the Inner Being.

Wisdom needs knowledge. Specifically knowledge of the ways to express, knowledge in the way of information, examples and complete knowledge or comprehension of the subject being handled.
