Gnostic Wisdom

We may have never let anyone see us, even though the interact face to face with us all day long. I mean your hear t of hearts, your essence, your Being, with all its heart felt deepest yearnings, without our chest pulled open for our heart to be seen. Have we every spoken to someone that way or treated them from that place? Maybe we have only ever seen a person like that once (one that special day), and never again... Perhaps this what people call vulnerability art its deepest point. We could say now you see my essence, my Being, and for the rest you won't see me apart from my mask (personality) and my changing moods and contradictions (egos). How lucky we were able to 'see' a person in their life with us. You 'see' me now and you won't 'see' me for a long while... To best moment to 'see' another is before they go, or part from our life, as that memory is what will carry forward through time until meeting again, and seeing their soul again. End (...

The flow of life is a powerful river, that will always find its way around an obstacle. Our life is the same. The flow of life in our life can not but continue to flow. It flows and takes us with it around and over obstacles, on and on. When something is in the flow of life, of our life, it will find its way to express, manifest and unfold. That is it's living principle. When we suffer a tragedy, the flow of our life will always find a way around it.  That is the one and only question of the flow of life: "how it will find a way?" Life in its essence is all about finding a way! All about finding a way! The flow of life is the one power that finds a way. "How does someone deal with that happening in their life?", is a question often asked. The answer is their flow of life within them will find a way to, just as a river flows over the rocks blocking its way. So let's relax. Let's trust in the forces and intelligences behind the flow of life. We often don...

Needed Taking action is the need. Not taking action is what trips us all up. There is a science to taking action. Knowing this science and applying it helps us to improve at taking action and changing our ways to be more practical and balanced between thinking and action. Points of the Science One of the points of this science is to act straight away. Don't wait for the perfect setup or moment or preparation. Accept the first attempt could well be a flop. Get the flop out of the way and onto the next attempt. Be happy to get it wrong and equally happy to say that was learning and then jump forward applying what was just learnt. Forget the past and focus on the new actions. As soon as we think of it do it. If we say to ourselves we are going to do it, do it now. When we feel like doing something go ahead and do it. Don't plan it in for later.  When we feel like doing something that is the moment of us to do it even if we are doing something else. Some balance is needed there of ...

Introduction In general proceed from the outside working inwards. Here is an example checklist for some ideas to follow when practicing intimate psychoanalysis. Checklist Physical Recreate the event using our memory and imagination.  What was the event about? Who was there? Where was it? What was the sequence of events? What was said? What did I do? What did I say? Use imagination to be outside of ourselves and see everything that happened, even see ourselves in the event, just as if we were watching the event on TV. Important! At this stage it is just factual and objective answering.  This will bring a lot of light, as it is valuable information that we need to see about ourselves. Observation gives rise to separation and separation gives rise to comprehension. Observation essentially tells us that the "I" we are observing is not of our true Being nature. Hence the process of separation begins within us. Psychological What was the flavour of the event? What impressions were ...

Punctuality The key to doing well in intimate psycho-analysis is to analyse straight away. Allow as little time to pass as possible. This is to avoid the mind from forgetting details and inventing others, playing things down and in general omitting and not seeing things as they were. End (6073).

Notes for Successful Intimate Psycho Analysis Introduction Here are some notes to assist with the practice of intimate psychological analysis as Master Samael taught it. What is it and What is it for  Intimate psychoanalysis is a tool used in the psychological work. It is used to assist in the dissolution of a psychological "I" or aggregate. It is practiced ideally in a concentrated or meditative state, introducing a series of questions that are aimed at dismantling the falsities and illusions presented by the psychological "I" being examined.  One of the results of psychoanalysis is to provide insight to apprehend the nature of the psychological "I" and to understand how and why it functions. It is a stage in the dissolution of the psychological "I". Usually an initial stage. After one has done a lot of psychological work - this kind of analysis is not used anymore and one knows what the ego and just goes about giving the opposite and dying dire...

Unemotional decisions are the best ones to make.  When we are unemotional, this is our most stable state and in that state we have access to a certain knowing within us that allows us to know if we can uphold the consequences of the decision no matter what they are. This knowing makes us to stand on steady grounds within us.  When we are unemotional we are not going to change so much and we are not going to regret them or make the wrong decision.  Unemotional decisions are also more conscious.  Emotional decisions are usually always the ones that we regret later. Emotional decisions are when we decide based on an intense emotion and then when the emotion subsides we don't feel the same and we regret the decision. Unemotional decisions are best as they also carry the benefit of being well thought out - with our intellectual centre having done it's work.  The advantage of making unemotional decisions is that our response to the results of the decision  are ba...

Because we don't really know how to die in ourselves too well, we go and tell others all sorts of things.  We find that when we know how to die and we start to do it, we say a lot less to people. A lot less complaint and protest and a lot less come back and accounting book. End (6064).

Fear disappears or subsides substantially when we say to ourselves to one day, that I can live in what I fear and be all ok. For example, if I fear not having any money, and I say well I'm going to just live in that situation and put look beyond it, then fear diminshes. Fear typically ends when we rise up within ourselves and say I'm going to make it through and be all ok and then take away the huge amount of attention I'm putting on that situation. Then leaves in a very substantial way. When fear goes, we see how much more there is to life, we are an essence, we have consciousness and what is important is to live the life of our Being, and not allow it to be hampered or blocked by not trusting in It. That though does not at all mean we stop working or stop doping. Continue doing and working hard but without worry. The Being and ourselves are a team, we need to do our part and the Being does It's part. End (6085).

As hard as this is to hear, when we worry about money and plans we stop living. We get frozen and start to sink. Just live! There's not much - just smile and live. There is always enough evidence in our life that our Being and the greater has got our back. When we sincerely look we find evidence. Trust and just live! Work and do what we must but not we worry, anger and or desperation. That is really not living that is sinking. End (6081).

We tend to have that tendency to consume all that which is not healthy for us as quickly as possible, even all in one go. That is often whey we get drunk, we get overweight, we oversleep, we overthink, we gossip too much, we watch to much, we etc. etc. too much. On a surface level, often it is not what is consumed that is not healthy it is the quantity.  We can modify this tendency understanding that we can still consume though in small quantities. The benefit in that is that we don't go into the unhealthy zone and we get to enjoy consuming whatever it is over a longer time span. Going deeper, the element to really focus on as being unhelpful is our attachment to what we get from what we are consuming. We all get a certain feeling and it is this feeling that we are always looking for. The basis of this tendency is that we feel for some reason that what we are consuming is not so good for us and so we try to get rid of it as quickly as possible by consuming it all in one go. We do t...

The economy of the Being is about the transactions of inner values. The Beings transact with values amongst each other and before the Divine Law values of the Being are exchanged. Within the universe of the Being values are transacted to and thro amongst the different parts. The reflection of this economy here for us as a part of the Being in the physical world, is the economy of values expressed in action that are exchanged with like values expressed in like action or with money of an proportionate amount. This is really what exists, are the values of the Inner Being. Money as we know it is something psychological. What really exists are values, and that is what is really transacted. It is the real currency and the real exchange. The best that we can do when we must work for money is to give values while working so that our exchanges return the most fruitful as possible. Working or doing without values eventually leads to empty or mechanically equal exchanges, without the magical unex...

Something from the hypnopompic state this morning.  The values or qualities of our soul or Inner Being are multiplicative in nature. Meaning when we exercise them truly with our heart they have a multiplying effect in our life. If we trust with all our heart we will receive trust and more trust from inside and outside. Our sleeping nature is skeptical of the values and we don't trust in that they will multiply and so that makes us lukewarm and see don't really see anything different after a short while. We see that it is wonderful to trust and it feels good but that wears off when we don't fully trust in the values, which in this example is when we don't fully trust trust we don't deep changes. If we become red hot about exercising and being the values we will be all that we are yearning for. A shift is required from the skepticism which trusts in matter to trust just as much and more in the values. With the trusty in the values we will always be looked after. We wa...

We can always trust in what is to unfold when we know deeply the honesty of our causes. Knowing deeply why we are doing something or want something is the biggest help to us. Knowing without self-deception. A key to avoid self-deception is the key of strict self-analysis. Self-deception does not hold up too well against sharp analysis. Remember to analyse yourself strictly and seriously. Don't do that to others unless you know you can do it benevolently. Otherwise win free animosity. If the causes within us be just and clean of vested egoic interest then we can trust what will unfold will be just as well. Problems and challenges of course but they will be fair and similar to what everyone else who is honest experiences. Knowing that the causes within us are upright the effects that will follow will be the same. In the worst case we will be fairly notified that what we set in motion is not meant to be as it is not in the great plan of the flow of life and it can be modified to flow ...

Somethings we can avoid not becasue we are scared of what may happen but because avoiding them we can save ourselves some or a lot of inconvenience.  It is all in us to know if we don't feel sacred or not. IT may look as though we don though we really may not be. The only way to tell is to just see how we feel right before the moment we have the change to avoid the moment or event that will unfold the inconvenience. End (6076).

If we find ourselves feeling alone, even if we have a life partner, know that we are always in partnership with our Inner Being. Sometimes it is with a life partner that we at times feel more alone that when we were single. Strange things that happen in life... We forget this partnership exists yet it is always there. This is one of our problems - forgetting that we are in constant partnership with our Inner Being. It is a matter of perception. Perceiving the partnership and actively participating in it. It is up to us to participate in it and be a good partner. Gnosis invites us to partner with our Inner Being... Converse with the Inner Being, plan with the Inner Being, consult the Inner Being, encourage and motivate with the Inner Being and work together with the Inner Being.  Work in honour and in the name of the Inner Being. Listen to the Inner Being... Above all make it a reality to us, just as real as our life partner is. This is where the success lies in the point of this po...

Whenever there is relativity in a situation there is the potential for pride. When there is relativity there is a dual dynamic, with one party above another party or one party more in some way than another party. As soon as we identify with either side that is being more or being less pride is present in us. We don't need to pride to fulfill our role in either party. We just need understanding and respect. The key to disarm pride is to know that we are not more nor are we less. We are just what we are in the moment and situation. Which is humility. For example, teacher and student,. The teacher is more in knowledge. For the teacher to teach the student must understand and respect the situation and just learn. The student does not need to feel less to learn and the teacher does not need to feel more or better to teach. End (6074).

We are all working on knowing ourselves. When it comes to knowing ourselves we are all a work in progress and we will always be. In knowing ourselves we are helping the Absolute, the Great Agnostos Theos (The God unknown to Itself) to know itself. We are never the same, in each moment we are different. Each moment in fact changes us. To know ourselves is something ever changing. We don't typically know others very well.  If we are within ourselves and each moment changes us how can we know another person completely? We only get to know a little bit of another person. When we commonly get to know another person we only really get to know their outer layers. Their personality: what they like and don't, their tastes, habits, style. Their egos, what makes them upset, angry, their drives and fears, their shortcomings etc. Their star sign and all the tendencies in the person that match with their star sign. We normally don't know the soul and Being of another person. That remains...

That's one reason to work on negativity. Negativity slows down our processes and even produces huge inertia and in-action where there needs to be action. It has a freezing effect. Positivity on the other hand is very mobile and fluid. It moves and  The work on negativity is also slow.  It all starts with not letting it in and not permitting what's already there to go on for long. Close the doors and give no air time. Then later go to the roots of it. Which is slow, takes time and is deep intricate work. The discovery of the roots and then doing the opposite is a long work, and most of the time it is easier to just start by doing the opposite and as we strengthen ourselves in that we discover the roots.  The best way of doing the opposite is by thinking and speaking positive about whatever! Often the roots are based in a lack of trust in the opposite to negativity, and the lightness and non-grasp ability of the opposite makes the opposite a bit more out of reach. The negat...

We know it is alive when we catch ourselves retaliating or planning to retaliate. This is becasue the "I" of self-love registers straight away a psychological debt or imbalance. When the "I" of self-love is weak or dying this registering of psychological debt doesn't happen and so the retaliation is not there. Dissolving the "I" of self-0love makes us to be creative with our consciousness turning something that appears unjust to something that is good for us. End (6068).

The order of things working in the human machine is: thinking, feeling and acting or intellect, emotion and motor.  When we do anything, like paint a house the order is the same. Thinking, feeling and doing. We plan, we feel confidence in the plan and we paint the house following the plan. Issues arise when we become unbalance and sped too much time on either one of these stages. Forgetting the thinking part and just doping gets things done, though it often creates a mess, that is things don't get done well. Which is what we can see in a lot in Africa in general.  Thinking to much makes things slow but when they are done they are done well. Which is what we can see in Australia and Europe. The unbalanced ways serve as teacher to show us balance.  Perfectionist sit on the overthinking side. While the 'don't care' attitude sits on the doing side, that is doing nothing or getting it done quick out of the way. End (6070).

Where does this horrible cruelty that human beings express come from?  From the self. It goes self-cruelty then outer cruelty. Cruelty to others and animals, plants and the Earth is a compensation from the cruelty that was first of all allowed to be one to oneself. Often when children and even adults are exposed to some abuse by others they develop this outer cruelty. We are cruel when we are miserable inside first. If the inner cruelty in a person continues and it is frequently expressed outwardly then in time a cruelty ego develops which has the potential to make the person what we could call perverse. When we are treated harshly, allowing ourselves to buy into that cruelty, accept it or tolerate it or even worse - believe in it against ourselves we are being cruel to ourselves and then to compensate for being unfairly cruel to ourselves, we express our frustration or lament outwardly, being cruel to others, animals and plants.  Normally we react with anger at others wh...

"YOUR BEING" These are two words that are the reason for everything . The reason to live, to work, to endure, to persevere, to die! End (6066).

Gift The sexual energy is a gift. We are given the sexual energy. We do not create it. Our body produces it for us automatically. It is the gift we've been given to create. By virtue of who in Divinity are we given this gift of creative energy? Gnosis teaches this is the Third Logos. As the Third Logos is the third force which is the creative force that comes from the combination of the two opposites - the Holy Affirming and Holy Denying. We also know that nothing in life is free. Everything is earnt, worked and paid for, via an exchange. If we are given a gift by nature as nothing is for free we are given freedom to do with it as we please but yet we are accountable for the results of what we do with it. We can not be held fully accountable for what we don't know. However, because the law is there, there is some accountability that we can be held to. Just as in physical life when we break a law that we didn't know existed, we still get a fine. We are given this gift of the...

Introduction Master Samael teaches that each nation has karma. Here are some notes on national karma. Notes Each nation has an identity and therefore is an entity in reality. Considering a nation as an entity - that is a unique unit with certain autonomy that comes from the consciousness of the people that constitute it,  a nation can act on its own merits and therefore acquire it's own karma and dharma.  It's easy to see that some countries are doing so well and some others are simply not. Some countries experience war, draught, famine and general poverty, while others experience the opposite. This is all due to a nation's level of karma and dharma. Why do some countries have more karma or dharma than others?  A nation can act as a unit to advantage or disadvantage its own people as well as other nations and peoples. When a nation benefits its people and helps other nations that nation earns and accumulates dharma. It's obvious, that countries whose inhabitants on aver...

Lust is about realising the yearning to be in union with love. We all have this yearning in our essence and our essence fulfills this yearning. The way of union is always something sexual. There is a part of our essence that loves and wants to be united in love and with love. It is this part of our essence that when it gets trapped or conditioned acts in a way we in society would call 'lustful'. This part of essence that wants to love seeks for ways to be united in love. Of course it will naturally look at sexual union as that is the deepest and most complete way to find union. There are also other kinds of union such as devotion which is a very emotional type of union. An observation that we can make is that when we are single this part of our essence is very active seeking, when we are in relationship and love and happiness is lacking this part becomes active again seeking. When a relationship ends this part again becomes very active. When we are in a relationship and we feel...

Master Samael teaches that the sexual centre is a centre of gravitation and life on many subtle levels essentially revolves around sex. Essentially as much as we may not like to sex, it is the subtle force that moves life. He also teaches that there is a need for us to think sexually... Very confusing right when you hear that for the first time. It's like: "I think I'm in the wrong place.". What he means by sexual thinking is a thinking that sees that is able to see that everything in life has a underlying sexual component and that activities in life unfold via the sexual principles. Where the main sexual principles are to do with the law of polarity and the combination of the polarities via the law of three, which leads to creation. Then creation is organised by the Law of Seven. If we look at business it is all sexual. No wonder why sex and selling are so linked. Here is a personal example, of how this was better understood. Working on business development I was the...
