Gnostic Esoteric Study & Work Aids

The human being has three brains, allowing the possibility of individuality. With the intellectual brain we can learn how to think for ourselves and develop self-concept. A one brained or two brained creature can not think for itself. All of its thinking faculties are given to it. Meaning it has been thought for or someone else has thought for it. Mother nature has thought for it and the guru devas in charge of the species think for it, and it does what has been thought for it. Plus what has been thought for it has been installed into the motor-instinctive-sexual brain. A one brained or two brained creature can't recreate itself internally because it lacks all three brains. With the power of the three brains a creature can create an new inner nature. A new inner structure and way of processing itself internally. End (5994).

The power of the seven cosmoses talk is that it shows us that we are not just a human being, a body with essence like a human animal we are really a universe. A cosmos which is s replication of the universe scaled down.  Each of the seven cosmoses is the same cosmos but scaled. It is a limitation to think of ourselves as just a human being, in the way that we are like an animal with intellect.  We are really not that - an animal with intellect. That is esoterically incorrect to think of ourselves that way. To reflect about ourselves being a universe blows our mind and changes the perceptions of ourselves. End (5995).

A lips to ears kind of a key is that when working with the elementals of nature, outside or inside of ourselves, the thing to do is to befriend them. This key really works! Patience! For a plant it would be to talk to the plant, water it and give it some extra nourishment in the way of liquid or solid fertilizer. The age old principles of giving our time and energy with our physical presence to pay attention and genuinely care do marvels for any relationship. If we do that we will come to love the plant and the plant will love us. Doing this frequently along with the invocations and mantras gives results. It really gives results. We just need to be a little patient, as every relationship takes time to build. We can befriend the internal elementals of our body following the same principles.  When it comes to giving our physical presence we give our internal presence connecting to them and being with them using our imagination and inner perception. Take a journey inward all inspired ...

What's missing in discipline is the emotional centre. That's why most people don't like disciplines because they lack emotion and emotion is what makes things fun and enjoyable. When a discipline becomes fun or there is emotion in it, it stops becoming a discipline and becomes a way of life. Disciplines are to be done and they make a lot of sense. They are great plans and ideas. They are intellect and motor. Why they fail is because the emotion that has to be created along the way doesn't appear. The best is all three brains together working to integrate into the whole of our life, thus eliminating discipline - which is something that is incomplete in us. Discipline is necessary because that is where we all start. Things take a while to enter the emotional center, yet things can quickly enter and leave the intellect and the motor centre correspondingly. Once things enter the emotional centre they are there for a long while. The key to everything Gnosis says is emotion o...

We often ask where do all these prayers come from? Some prayers have been written down after they were uttered by human beings in deep states of devotion and Divine Love. Some other prayers have been written by those who use them daily when working on themselves. These are prayers of 'ora et labora" that is pray and work. While most other prayers come as gifts to human beings from Divinity. Divinities send prayers with magical words to us through Angels and Archangels, who act as messengers.  These prayers are gifts that are a formula of invocation and petition. They are a bit like a key or a password.  End (5993).

An inner life that we become deeply a part of, begins in earnest when we awaken the fire. When we draw the sword of fire from the rock of sex. An inner life is a lot like human life, where there is movement along a path towards higher and more advanced states of experience and responsibility. Just hanging around allowing time to pass, travelling, coming and going, is not really a life in the sense of growth along a path. It is more like going around in circles. That is essentially what the ego has us to do. It is just to hang around life after life returning to the same - therefore a circle. We all say get a life, meaning get a purpose and follow it and be directly involved in the events of that life and forget about meddling with the lives of others. This is for sure a life and an inner life is exactly like that. We can awaken and become very aware of our interior, speak to our Divine Mother regularly and see this and that part of the Being and know this and that about our future, how...

Sometimes in order to help us when we are starting Gnosis certain defects, habits, lifestyles get turned off. They go and leave us free to go forward in our studies.  In retrospect we see that those things had to abruptly like with the flick of off switch becasue a transition just would not have allowed us to go forward as we needed to. Sometimes they these things that are turned off stay off and we really forget all about them. Sometimes the egos that were involved start to come up and try hard to drag us back to the past. This happens because those egos were buried deep and along the way we didn't get the chance to work on them and so they are still alive.  Now having worked on ourselves for a while we can deal with those egos internally and not go back into the actions of the past. While we are working ion these egos internally we may feel like we are back in the past and we are very similar as we were before. End (5994).

We all have free will and so the universe will not help us if we don't ask. Not asking is a signal to the universe that all is ok. Right? If we ask for something it is because we want something. So when the Universe goes to respond to what we are asking for it knows full well that it is not interfering with our free will and can happily grant what we are asking for. Conclusion: we have to ask. It is silly to think the Universe, even though it is a mind reader, will respond to something that we don't sincerely ask for. End (5992).

When it comes to helping people with charity it is better to say 'yes' and help all the way or simply say 'no'! Saying 'yes' with conditions, such as 'meet me half way' ends up being cruel when it comes to people who have so very little. The conditional 'yes' often doesn't work out. Those who need help make an effort but because of lacking in resources they can't meet you half way and their effort is wasted and they don't receive the help.  Then the hopeless cycle turns again. End (5991).

A big thing in the work on ourselves is knowing how to deal with the 'unfair' feeling. Here are some notes. There are absolute and relative unfair. It's crucial to know the difference. Knowing this can save us so much suffering. The absolute unfair does not hurt. We can do something physically and humanly about it and if it is truly unfair it will be rectified or we understand that clearly it is a karmic debt that we have to pay. The relative unfair is what causes us all the grief. Because the relative unfair only seems unfair to us and not the other person or people. The relative unfair is also unfair relative to some belief, concept or attitude that we have. To clear our suffering we have to find what in us it is unfair in relation to. Often the things people say are unfair to the idea we have of ourselves or the perception we have of our intentions. As soon as we know what it is unfair in relation to, we are almost free. Often when find the unfair reference point we will...

A lot of our issues come from, for some reason not accepting where we are really at, and trying to work at and expect results from a level that we are just not at. When we don't accept where we are at we end up beating ourselves up and halting our progress. When we can accept truly where we are at with something and then go back to the steps at that level we make real progress. Sometimes most of the work we have to do is actually coming to terms with where we are at. Once we do, we progress quickly. Why? Because we actually do some proper work that counts. Many times even though we have been working on ourselves for years we have to go back to the beginning steps. It's false expectations, inflated beliefs in our self-worth and capacities that lead us astray, making us to not see and accept where we are at. End (5990).

To hold ourselves to a higher principle within or outside of ourselves is something that helps us to go upwards in our level of the Being. Holding ourselves responsible to a lower principle inside or outside of ourselves is what makes us to drop our level of the Being. To hold ourselves responsible for our actions and words to our Inner Being is wonderful. It is truthful to do that as we also feel the consequences of our actions within us. To hold ourselves accountable to the noble standard of the work as well as the student's creditability in the work is wonderful as well. This really helps us to hold it together and to keep an upward line. To hold ourselves responsible to our egos or to the level of the Being or the conditions of others causes us to drop our level of the being. When for example, we hold ourselves responsible to upholding our pride we react defensively and get angry causing harm. Instead of holding ourselves to uphold our Pride we can hold ourselves to uphold high...

We ask this question because we are not happy ourselves, or we ask because we are happy and want the other person to be happy.  We ask to sell something, as a starter to our sales pitch.  We ask to check in to see how the other is going.  We ask to start a conversation about making a significant change in our joint affairs or life together.  We ask ourselves when contemplating a life change.  We ask ourselves this when something in our life is going wrong or went wrong? Overall it's a question that inspires introspection and stands at the start of change. It doesn't have to be a sad affair, it can rather be a catalyst to making a great change in life. The question is start and the easy part. The hard thing is the courage to follow up on the answer to the question.  The follow-up actions from this question are what in most of our lives, produces the big changes, the big turn arounds. End (5978).

For a person to consciousness it is not to believe oneself to be nor is it to have the attitude of being conscious or think oneself is conscious. It is not knowing anything but being and knowing we are in the present moment. It is nothing, but to look, see, hear in all openness to our inside and outside. It is definitely not to believe we are conscious or to think we possess consciousness. End (5982).

Of course in the right moment is the best. But sometimes we can't. That doesn't mean that we stop doing it. For example we can't relax and compose in the moment, keep doing it and we will get it. An hour or two later that is much much better than if we did nothing. End (5981).

Threats of many kinds are a common feature of our individual and collective psyche at some point. Especially when things are not going too well. At the depth of it we make threats to get back some kind of power that we perceive has gone missing.  Either we have allowed it to go or it was taken. Often in the case when it was taken we allowed it to be taken. Sometimes it has never gone it just seems to be gone. This is definitely the case with our individual expression. In Western society we are all free all the time to express ourselves. Either way to make a threat is a compensation, a cheap way using force to get the other to yield the power they have or have apparently taken.   The solution is to empower ourself. There are two ways to do that. One way is to empower ourself and take our freedom of expression back (just express don't think just express) or empower ourselves by truly letting go and dying to the 'need' for that power.  The key is in giving back inner po...

This is a good question, that when you engage your mind to answer it, your answers will make your essence stronger. As you answer you will find evidence as to why the central statement of the question is true. Then see what you feel. End (5979).

There is this psychological quality called entitlement.  Usually when this word is mentioned, there is a negative connotation. It is often associated with some kind of arrogance, because it is really a word to describe a feeling. In general, entitlement is the feeling of having a right to something. Where this 'something' was agreed upon previously or is a tradition, a society norm, a law or just plain common sense. For example, you paid for something fair and square, you are entitled to have it. There seem to be four cases that can be observed in relation to entitlement. There is the simple case where there is the right to something and it is granted. There is justice and peace because merit and right come together. This naturally inspires respect. There can also be the case of entitlement where there is clear right but merit is lacking. Then there is the case where there is some right but little merit. Then there is the case where there is neither right or merit.  When we ob...

What usually happens is that when we fail to comprehend in the moment and instead judge critically, we later on end up in the same situation. We end up in the same situation as those we judge, so as to comprehend . The reason why we end up in the same situation and acting the same as those we judge, is because we failed to apply comprehension, and the best way comprehend is to be in the same situation. The payment or escape from judging is to comprehend. Apply comprehension and we will not fall into the into the same situation as those we judge. This is because with comprehension we learn and we fix the lesson into our consciousness which naturally allows us to avoid falling into the same situation. When we fall into the same situation the heat we feel is the feeling being a hypocrite. Which can be embarrassing. It invertedly gives people the evidence to call us exactly that - a hypocrite - especially those we previously judged. When we judge and realise it, this is one of the best opp...

In the inner silence - the more profound the better, is where one can heal, rejuvenate, strengthen and balance In the inner silence problems melt away because one is closer to the master within. People said that they would be full of problems and when they were before Master Samael ready to explain all their problems - their troubles melted away. Inner silence allows us to digest the impressions and transform them. Inner silence relaxed and conscious allows the consciousness to be present and when it is present it naturally transforms and orders what we have been going through. We just need to give it a chance to do so and it naturally does all by itself or with some gentle prompting (like AI but better). Many times before a retreat we are full of complaints and after the practices, especially meditation those complaints go by themselves.  Seeking inner silence or rather allowing to arrive brings what we all need and want. Which is balancing, organizing, healing, insight and illumi...

If we can say to ourselves: "I'm going to wake up at 5am so that I can start the day early" and we actually do wake up at 5am on the dot or some minutes before, we can just as well say to ourselves: "I'm going to dream about the planet Mars!" or "I'm going to wake up in my dreams!" and we will! It's the same thing really. We have to state our night's purpose such as "I'm going to dream about Mars" with as much will, determination and need as when we say to ourselves that we are going to wake up early. Then lo and behold we will dream about Mars. This actually does work. End (5973).

The key to understand relaxation is to see that relaxation is about supplying energy to something. It is counter to our common understanding which is to think that to be relaxed means to be devoid of energy. To be devoid of energy is to be depleted, not relaxed. When our body is depleted we are either aching all over and very agitated or totally limp. Neither of these two are to be relaxed. When our mind is devoid of energy it is so agitated that it or we just can't stop thinking. Further to this discussion there is relaxation on several different levels. There is relaxation of the body, of the mind, of the psyche, of the soul and of the spirit. For each of these parts to be relaxed certain food or energy must be given to each part. That is a different energy for each part and an energy that is in sync with the nature of the part. To relax the spirit we must give fulfillment of deep purpose. Spiritual work producing transformation. For the psyche ethical and correct conduct in the ...

We in our life are faced with so many options and after a while we get confused as which is the best one to focus on. Because of time limitations we after all want to focus on the thing that will bring the most benefit for our effort and time. Which practice do we do most and focus on? The Gnostic answer is on transforming ourselves and clearing our karma. However we need to still find our answer which will in our way somehow coincide with that or not. We just have to first look. The key is in the dilemma or conundrum. The key word is focus. If we start by focusing on focus, things will become clear because that is how we got confused in the first place by having lost focus. Once we can focus we can focus on the essential part of ourselves and life.  The essential could be to find connection to our essence and flow of life so that we share some connection to above in us and some connection to the future in this life and beyond it. End (5971).

Introduction As simple and as great the tendency is to zoom past the stage of relaxation, it is very very beneficial to spend at least a week or more seeing everything through the eyes of relaxation. If we are to do this experiment, we will see how so much of our spiritual practice is enhanced by taking relaxing into account. Here are some applications that if we relax well, we can truly give ourselves a very good chance at successfully completing the practice or responding well to the situation. 1.) Listening 2.) Entering a sacred space or place 3.) Talking 4.) Understanding anything 5.) Reading 6.) Dangerous situations 7.) Stressful or hectic situations 8.) Dealing pain and suffering Some Notes Mastering relaxing our physical body will teach us next how to relax our psyche, which is most important of all. To relax the spirit is different. It is relaxed with fulfillment and by right thinking, right feeling and right action. If we are not relaxed something is wrong somewhere within us....

When we are close to unravelling an "I" there will come a special experience that will reveal a memory or a knowing from where that defect was created and or strengthened.  We will have this experience either physically while reading, talking or visiting someone, some place or either in a dream or while doing an esoteric practice. This experience will reveal the causes behind that ego by showing the circumstances of the past in which it was created.  There will be direct correspondence in the feeling of the ego now in the present day and the circumstances that were the causes of its origin. If there are no correspondences in feeling the experience is simply off. This an important experience that gives us a big relief and marks a definite step towards that "I" being dissolved. The strange thing to understand is that the same circumstances that created that ego may be present in a similar way today or they may not. If they are it make sense as there is a trigger but i...

To express a quality of our soul whatever it is we slowly find out after falling short many times that the better our degree of separation or psychological isolation the better we can express it. The separation or psychological isolation cuts the link of impressions from the other person and the subjective justice call from our own psyche. Our main inner block to expressing a value is the call from our mind: "that it is not fair that we give a beautiful soul value to someone who does not reciprocate". To express a soul quality we must be independent of impressions from others as well as the unfair complaint from inside. The way to find that separation is to see that we are always compensated by our Inner Being for expressing our soul qualities and non-identification with the person - "I am a soul" "I am a soul" "I am a soul" "that is them - I am here a soul". End (5969).  

Often when we go to a building roof top or a high cliff or are walking on a jetty going out to sea there is that strange suggestion that arises in the mind to jump accompanied by strange anxious feelings of falling or sinking into the water. These thoughts and feelings as strange as they are, are semi-conscious instinctive memories and are due to us at some point in our past lives having thrown ourselves or have been pushed or having pushed others. They are semi-conscious in the sense that we feel them instinctively but we don't remember from where they come from. That debt though cancelled physically lives on inside our psyche.  These feelings tell us that there is more work to do to investigate within and comprehend and dissolve what we have found. When we go to these high places or jetties it is like we relive the drama or tragedy in our mind. End (5967).

A monkey and a donkey seem to be the universal symbols of the mind.  Both words have a 'key' in them and they differ by the first letter. Coincidentally the 'm' and the 'd' are the first and last letters of the word 'mind'. The monkey mind is the one jumps all over the place and the donkey mind is the one that is so stubborn that does not want to give up thinking. These two animal symbols give the key to the mind. The mind in its untrained nature is stubbornly distracted. Perhaps with these two symbols we can get a glimpse into the significance of 'm' and 'd' as letters. It seems 'm' covers breadth and is affirmative while 'd' is narrow and negating. End (5966).

We find that we truly need to die (negate the conditioned essence), yet dying and not going forward with the fruits of death (affirming the free essence), which are the qualities, abilities and powers of our soul, is unbalanced.  We need to work in negation towards affirmation. Working with negation gives us the ability to affirm. Affirming without prior negation causes us to trip over and negating only makes us turn bitter and eventually stand still. On the path and everywhere we walk on two legs, and these two legs are negating and affirming. If we get stuck on one leg only, we'll topple over because we become unbalanced. End (5962).

This topic helps us to break at least the following conceptions: 1.) The idea that we are the first wave of humans on this earth. 2.) That we are the only ones in the cosmos. 3.) That our external development, science and technology is at the highest level the earth has ever seen in time. 4.) That we are at the start of a continuous line of evolutionary development. 5.) That our average lifespan is the longest so far and will end up being the longest. 6.) That our inner development, consciousness and knowledge of ourselves and the cosmos is the most developed so far in time. The seven rounds and seven races talk replaces the broken concepts with the following teachings: What is important is not to believe in the details of each of the races but to loosen and consciously open  the way we think about the Earth and humanity. This opening will allow and support new understandings of ourself, humanity and give us a reference to place our own memories and inner knowing that will along th...

Energy follows energy via the laws of magnetism, reciprocity and concentration. It does not follow morality, it follows those three laws mentioned above, and of course others. To pray in pain, in the feelings of a martyr and out of morbid sacrifice doesn't bring what we are yearning for but more pain. What we emit we magnetise. If we emit pain we bring pain. Putting our energy into emitting pain by the laws mentioned above brings pain to us. Putting energy and attention into pain brings only more of the like. Energy follows 'like' it does not follow morality in the sense that because we are making ourselves to suffer we are going get help and positive energy. Which is what morality does but the energy of the universe doesn't follow human morality. It follows 'like' for 'like'. If we want happiness show that you want it by making efforts to be happy and help to be happy will come. To awaken and die is to be free of pain yet with wrong attitudes we bring m...

Mostly from evolution. Through the journey our essence undertakes through the three previous kingdoms of nature. Of course also from past lives and from the Inner Being itself and the consciousness, there is much innate wisdom. Each mineral, plant and animal life that we have had has built up in us an understanding of life and creation. It has also taught us certain lessons about the laws and principles of creation. Each life teaches us values that our essence has but needs developing and knowledge about why and how to use it. That's why some people even as humans are 'strong as a bull', 'brave as a lion', 'cunning as a fox' and 'sly as a serpent', 'slippery as a fish' becasue they learnt really 'well' those lessons from their journey through the kingdoms. Even as human beings we are still learning these values. It happens as people in the work we are learning those lessons at fast rate through dissolving the ego. Dissolving the ego i...

So often does what we plan work out. When it does work, it is not always that smooth and everything is as we hoped. Actually, very rarely does what we plan work out so brilliantly for all. There's always a hitch, there's always something that goes wrong. Something changes and things get messed up and it all gets difficult and tricky to fix, and above all it's hard work. When we are not expecting something and we haven't planned for it, what happens and especially how it happens is amazingly intelligent, plus works out perfectly and so smoothly. This lesson of life - tells us to wait, let go of the mind and trust more in the Universe to bring what we would like to happen. End (5960).

If we want to grow more inwardly, and be able to keep relatively stable in difficult times, we like trees, need deep roots. Deep roots are a deep understanding of the teachings and a strong practice of them. Especially the fundamentals.  Strong in the practical fundamentals helps us more than anything. End (5959).

An eternal disappointment in listeners is when they hear spiritual teachers or practitioners speak of love and unity, and then later on in decisions, attitudes and behaviours the love and unity previously spoken of is not there. This happens all the time not really because of there being a lack of love and unity, it is just that in this world it is difficult to apply fully and often it is there but misperceived or expectations are unrealistic. It is out of reality to expect full and perfect unity and love. The full love and unity is only close to being perfect within ourselves between ourselves and our inner parts. Love and unity can not be expressed perfectly physically all the time, it will always be seen as one sided or incomplete or imperfect due to relativity, different points of view, karma and the presence of so many opposing factors that have to be balanced.  Sometimes even it is not there and the teacher or practitioner has indeed contradictions within him or her and what ...

Priorities constantly shift in applying Gnosis. Over the years we have seen the priority shift numerous times. A recent shift has been to priorities the awakening and the application of soul values to accelerate the liberation of the conditioned essence. When the Gnostic movement first begun the priority was Alchemy, later it shifted to mystical death and we all know why.  In terms of teaching Gnosis now days, given that students have such short attention spans, the intelligent order is to focus impactfully on the essentials while we have their attention. What really are the essentials and what would a new priority be? What makes most sense is to focus the teachings on liberating the essence as a priority.  Previously teachings were focused on how the essence is trapped. Now days that tends to be received as depressing information and does not serve much purpose to students other than making the class atmosphere overly serious and heavy. It is more beneficial to all to focus o...

When we find ourselves in a state where we need to establish some kind of order in a our physical life. We need to first establish an inner order.  We can establish an outer order but if there is not an inner order to support we will find ourselves lost and in disarray again - out of order. One of the best tools to establish an inner order is inner silence. When seriously providing the conditions for inner silence to appear within us and maintaining it, the magical ordering power of silence can begin to work.  Inner silence brings internal energies into harmony by giving us visibility of what truly and deeply priority for us. This is because inner silence allows the truer and deeper reference point within us to surface. Silence gives space for the reference point that is deeper and more aligned with our Inner Being to come into view. With the truer and deeper reference point clearly in view we can establish order. Order is to give to the chosen reference point priority. With o...

Introduction We could say that the three types of sexuality are the law of three in the sense of the very classical, three dimensions of a planet which are the:  1.) Infra-dimensions 2.) Physical dimension 3.) Superior dimensions. Note, these are also the same as the three regions of a physical space, a building for example: the basement, ground floor and the upper floors. Which really comes from the three stages of everything which is beginning, peak and end. The three types of sexuality are: infra, normal and supra which correspond directly to these three dimensions of a planet. This is because human sexuality is intimately linked to the planet. Universality of Sexuality Sexuality has a very real reality and it is a true force of the cosmos. So much already has been written about how everything is essentially sexual in nature and how everything through hundreds of derivations comes from sexuality. The base values of sexuality are expressed in these three classes of sexuality. The...

The normal use of a person's inner strength of detachment is to wipe people off that wrong or hurt us or to attack them knowing that because we are strong in detachment, they are not going to hurt us and we are not going to feel anything when we attack them. There is a better use of our inner strength of detachment and it is to use it that strength to detach from ourselves so as to rise above ourselves. This is the more transcendental use of inner strength that liberates because it does not create karma and it causes us to rise in our level of the Being. That is to detach from what it is inside of us that is enraged, hurt, humiliated or bothered etc. This inner strength allows forgiveness and does not need to run away, dismiss or wipe people off. End (5955).

Believing in ourselves is something that we all do before we truly start something. We often don't start something becasue we don't believe in it or that we can do it. To believe we can do something is really the biggest milestone. Once we believe that we can do something, results are not too far away. There is no doubt about it, we are going to make head way towards whatever it is that we believe we can do. For all the great things that human beings have done, there was a point where they believed that they could do it and so they did. No one achieves something believing all the way that they can't do it. We may start out not believing that we can, but there is a point that we start to believe. Often that point is when conscious faith turns on. It is the point that through our persistence or struggles we catch a glimmer of light and this glimmer turns into a knowing that our hope is real. Truly a large part of the battle is won when we believe that we can do something. Thi...

The most important thing are the works and efforts that lead to changing our interior nature. That is, efforts that change our inner processes, specifically the way we think and feel. Powers may not do that. But there are powers within us that do change our inner processes. The great qualities of Being do that.  The faculties are there to serve those qualities of Being. Not to transact against them. If there was ever a choice to be made, the wisest choice is to invest our time and energy into changing our interior processes. End (5953).

In our own world is there someone wiser than our own devil?  Just imagine what psychological knowledge our own devil has to have. The sum total of the wisdom from of all our life's experiences from the beginning of creation.  The Sun up in the sky is another one who is supremely wise, as it has witnessed all the errors, problems, solutions, triumphs, failures and sufferings that human beings have passed through since the beginning of creation. The devil is so old and because of that he is so wise. He has seen so much of our folly. He knows it all... Seeing folly over time means to have seen what lead to it and the consequences it had. The total of that witnessing of our folly comprises knowledge. The wisdom of the devil comes from this knowledge, and the way his wisdom is expressed is in the way of helping us to see and undo our folly. The devil being the shadow of our inner Being knows what it is that we lack. As our lacking is the shadow of our Being. From fire comes much kn...

Our complement is what we lack. So to look face to face at our own complement is to see directly in the mirror what it is that we are lacking. What we have is us, and what we lack is also us.  Knowing what we have is knowing ourselves and knowing what we lack is also knowing ourselves. We all tend to not like too much what we lack. Seeing what we lack is also not much fun. What we lack is what we are weak at and what we are weak at means lots of effort, patience, discomfort and so on... That is the reason why we have many problems with our complement, because we don't like seeing or hearing or facing up to what we actually lack. We also often don't know what we lack so there is denial in operation. Denial brings sufferings. We are a lot happier when we interact with someone who is like us, because what we lack does not come up and there is little to no discomfort. However interacting with someone that we like, even though it is easier does not show us what we lack and does not ...

It is a lot easier to find ourselves working more on ourselves during the day when we are a person-soul. It is natural part of being a person-soul to work on ourselves frequently during the day. When we adopt the identity of a 'just physical person', we work happily physically in our job the whole day and even night sometimes, and forget all about our inner work. We find that being just a person we don't have time or even enough mental space to remember to work on ourselves. Because the 'just a physical person' identity does not include in its structure the inner work on ourselves. There is no background support for the work on ourselves. The reason why our day in the work fails is because of choosing the wrong identity for the day. Whereas as in the background of the person-soul identity, there is much support for the work on ourselves.

The warrior in his or her depth is spiritual. This is because a true warrior is one that fights for a cause much greater than him or herself. It is really the cause that gives the warrior his or her purpose and the purpose gives the warrior his or her strength. The depth and truth of the purpose gives the warrior the sublime willingness and fulfillment to die for it. The willingness and openness to die for the cause makes the warrior fearless. Every true warrior has the common quality of fearlessness. The greatest weapon of the warrior is the heart-felt remembrance of the cause that he or she is fighting for. The forces of Mars are the energies to fight as well as the intelligence to fight effectively. If the warrior is true in his or her depths, is just and loves the cause for which they are fighting, it can only be that the forces of Mars will be by their side. The ethical triangle within each of one us is the constitution of the spiritual warrior.  The human soul fights down he...

There is the wonderful yoga exercise for brain enhancement which is a combination of physical exercise, breathing and transmutation. This combination feeds the brain with a lot of energy. There are studies that have proven that it does enhance the brain's power. Most of the studies have been with students that after practicing super brain yoga have significantly improved their performance. The basic super brain yoga exercise is to cross your right arm over your left lightly grasping your opposite ear lobes and performing squats. Breathing in when squatting down and breathing out when rising up. Repeated 14 to 21 squats per day. Another form of super brain yoga is Alchemy, which is really more powerful, because it involves the use of two energies plus their magic combination which is entirely creative in nature. The energies that are circulated in Alchemy saturate the cells the of the body, starting with the brain first of all. The energy of Alchemy, the mercury (transmuted sexual e...

People usually when asleep express the opposite of their ingenious cosmic ray. This is because when asleep we polarise to the opposite, because duality is the main conditioning that cause our consciousness to sleep. When we are asleep observe our own lives and look for the main character issue and then see the opposite and you will find out something interesting about your own cosmic ray. The best thing to learn the qualities of the a certain ray is to be around a person who belongs to that tray. Depending on their level of consciousness, we will have to learn about the qualities of their ray either in the light or in the opposite. That is what the qualities are or what the qualities are not. The qualities will be visible in the small details and also more importantly globally in their life. A person influences others the most with the ray and affects others negatively the most with the qualities of their ray. End (5947).

What is worse to bring to bring only something for yourself to eat and drink at a gathering or to bring nothing and eat and drink what others have brought? Both are not quite right. Though one is worse in relativity than the other. The one that brings food and drink only for himself is the worse one. Because it is a conscious and deliberate decision and action to not participate in sharing, caring or helping others. It is sometimes means to not participate with others during meal times. The other one who brings nothing at least connects to others, creates a debt to later cancel with others. While the other one does not create any link or debt to cancel later on. Even in such cases there is more room for it to not be so deliberate. These people are more open to do the correct thing. While the other one is closed and isolating. The interesting observation that can be made over the time is that people who are selfish and only ever bring for themselves don't persist for too long in the...

We can have the wrong idea about strength. We think it is always something that it is not. We try to be strong but it seems to make us feel weaker. Why because we have the wrong idea of what strength is. From the esoteric point of view to be strong is to be integral, aligned, and in all essence it is to be what we are, that is to be our Being, which in common terms means to be ourselves at the deepest level of authenticity. We think we have to be strong to be successful at whatever it is we need to make work.  We can make something work and be strong by knowing what we our strengths are and who we are.  When we know and accept those two areas of ourselves, who we are and what our strengths are the thing to do is to use those strengths to do what it is that we need to do to make it work. We just need to adapt our strengths to getting things done from a different angle. There is always an angle a way in which we can make our strengths work in the given situation to benefit our n...

The sexual energy has magnetic properties. It is worth clarifying and saying that these magnetic properties are universal in nature, and function within a very vast scope, reaching far outside of ourselves. As we know, magnetism is the power to attract. Universal magnetism attracts all things. It is a principle that works to bring 'like' to closer 'like', and it also keeps the two polarities (opposites) relating to each other. For example, love attracts love, force brings force, wealth attracts wealth and so on and so on. The knowledge that keeps the two polarities relating well to each other is the in-depth knowledge of magnetism. Back to the sexual energy, it has a great magnetic power. Meaning if we work with the sexual energy, causing it to circulate through our system we will be able to be make use of its magnetism. Just imagine a child forming in its mother's womb. All the energies and substances have to be brought together to create the child. Just imagine, t...

For our internal qualities to develop we need the external supports to fall through. We actually do learn and develop many qualities (to some degree) having external supports. Having external supports until the appointed time is all ok. The appointed time is set by our flow of life.  Our Inner Being is the one emanates our flow of life. The events and their sequence comes from inside of us. Holding onto external supports beyond the appointed time becomes a hinderance and delays our progress.  When external supports fall it is always the time to first of all recognise this, then look to give ourselves the same value that the external supports gives but this time to give it to ourselves from inside.  The final step is to develop the giving to ourselves in all its aspects. Make it strong and vibrant and give it to others. When we give to others, it is most important to show them how to give it to themselves. If not, we don't complete the karmic learning cycle. We become an e...

More and more it is this way these days that people are not really ready to take responsibility for the things that are wrong in their life, even the things that are wrong with their health. It is a huge block for the inner work. But what can we do about it? Not much with others but we can see it in ourselves. When we see it in ourselves it is just as hard sometimes to take responsibility.  What we can do to help ourselves take responsibility?  The only first thing to do is to accept that we find it hard to take responsibility. If we can do that we have made a huge start that leads us to a path to be able to take responsibility.  End (5942).

In the absence of love, force always appears. Why not other qualities? That is a good question. The observation is that it is usually force that comes to do the job love would normally do. When we want to help a person and usually the love we have comes to show us how. If love is slow to appear, force will appear to help instead.   Using force we make a mess unless love comes quickly to the rescue. Often love comes along late after we have made a mess. Then if pride is not too big, usually feeling sorry at making a mess brings love, and we work things out with love and force.  The truth is that force and love must work hand in hand to help a person. Not love alone and not force alone. Together! Combining love and force together guided by truth gives rise to another virtue called wisdom. End (5941).

Our karma tricks us! It has to. We don't really want to pay it. Our subconscious knows that we have karma and we know that paying it won't be pleasant. So our subconscious naturally does all that it can to keep us far away from the people and scenarios that would make us encounter our past debts. To overcome the avoiding power of our subconscious our own karma tricks us by enticing another part of our subconscious that is just as powerful. That is why so often we feel divided. We feel so drawn but at the same time so very wary. As soon as our own karma begins to trick us using another powerful subconscious element, the will that is conditioned in us is available to be compromised by our karma, and that will works driving us closer and closer to the people and circumstances to get involved and stay involved until we encounter our karmic debts.  This can also work for our dharmic payouts as well. But there is less trickery involved. A very different force other than our condition...

Sometimes there are no human guarantees, like a physical humanly signed contract to assure income for a mission or to simply to live our life. There are only psychological and esoteric guarantees. We can't let ourselves forget that the esoteric and psychological rule the physical. The psychological guarantees are faith in that hard work, resourcefulness, tenacity and perseverance will be the cause for bring what we need. The esoteric guarantee is that if we are just and fair, the Divine Law will support us, and if we work in the name of the Being, the Divine Being through Divine Providence will provide for us. In the end that is what we have to live by, psychological and esoteric provision and guarantees. The strange thing about this is that the most flimsy guarantees are the human ones but we depend on them the most. The real solid guarantees are the psychological and esoteric and we don't trust them. A shift has to take place within us at some point... End (5939).

Our energy field is also sometimes called our information field. Meaning if we can read it we can know certain things about the qualities of the being emitting that field. Everyone of us of course has our own energy field. This energy field can't lie. As it radiates what we are and the results of what we are thinking, feeling and are doing or have done. Our mind can create lies but our energy field does not. Our physical senses are not able to perceive the energy fields but our other senses can. If we can learn to read to some degree or detail our energy field we can know a fair bit about ourselves that our own mind can not distort. If we can read our energy field we can also be able to read others. Therefore detect some of their truth of others and the events that unfold before us or are about to unfold. For example when something is true it has an energy field if something is not true it does not have an energy field. This is an easier way to know true or false. Just perceiving t...

Introduction I always wondered about why all of us can't be heroes. I use to think that the heroes are the ones who complete marvellous feats risking their lives while demonstrating superhuman abilities.  But it seems that this is not the only way and that this is really a small part of what a hero is. The majority of heroes go unseen and their actions are invisible.  Instead of there being only a few heroes we are all really called to be heroes, and we can all be heroes in the sense that we are called to be, which is to be a hero in our own microcosmos! It is often the difficult times that tend to bring that out the hero in people. A hero always appears in times of need and when we are internally poor and the land of the Being within us is overrun by the unjust and the disorderly (karma and "I's"), a hero is needed and the call is made.  By the Law of Emanation everyone emanates a real and authentic life outward from the heart of the Absolute. This happens for absolu...

The really interesting thing is that balance is not the full truth. It is more the truth, it is stable in the truth and based in the truth, yet it is the wise combination of the two opposites which are truth and falsehood. In a balanced reply there is truth yet there is not the full truth, there is an element of omission or flexibility. A balanced response is the response required for the situation at hand, discerned by the alert consciousness. Balance comes into a rendition of the facts by not revealing the detail of every second. Yet what is revealed is fully true. More lies that truth can never create balance or stability in nearly all situations, yet in some extreme situations the lie stabilises by keeping us alive. The same applies to love... End (5937).

Dark psychology as used popularly can be understood as the psychology of the subconscious. Justifications exemplify the psychology of the subconscious really well. The general modus operandi of the subconscious is the iceberg model. Where an acceptable visible layer is present while underneath there is the unacceptable reality. The visible layer looks fair and nice while the invisible is dark and ugly.  The subconscious psychology works to present and while keeping the invisible hidden and undetected. The subconscious psychology uses many tools such as lies, excuses, justifications and anger to prevent the larger and invisible side from being seen. The invisible side holds the real reasons for everything and it is larger in size and stronger than the visible surface. There are some things that are difficult to justify. The default of the ego and subconscious is to try. When the justification is not accepted or is forcibly proven to be based on lies it is common that we get angry. T...
