Gnostic Wisdom

It is something that we actually create when we start to work on ourselves. Many of us have done it already, we just may not be fully aware that we have created it and are operating from it. To be conscious Master Samael says, implies that we do indeed divide our attention. He is basically saying that to be conscious requires some division, where we have a part of our attention on what we are doing and some part on knowing that we are watching ourselves.  To be conscious we need to have more then one dimension to move our consciousness into and from there we can view ourselves, just like in the above paragraph, where we divide our attention. As soon as we learn about there being a different way to life, and that we can operate life differently for very good and special reasons we are creating a new dimension within ourselves. When we introduce our will into that dimension, as well as many teachings and reasons i.e understanding and we shift our consciousness into t...

You know what? Don't use analysis and intuition at the same time. If you try you will understand why.  This is what happens: you get totally confused, one eats away at the other leaving you with nothing, nada! That something actually turns into a headache. The wise thing to do is to select the right tool for the job and follow the process of that tool's workings. If it be intuition follow the guidance of intuition and compliment it with a touch of analysis once intuition has taken its course. Analysis and synthesis are like opposites. One is to break down or deconstruct and the other is to bring together or construct. Analysis is to break something apart into smaller pieces. It is a useful method to dissolve illusions and pries apart the various concepts of any "I" making it useful for mystical death. It leans on the side of death. Synthesis combines many different elements together to produce a whole. It is a generative process. It is a life forming process. The over...

Perceptions of People When we have the wrong perception it is really difficult to relate to people. For example when we see a person like all high and mighty it is so hard for us to relate to that person, we will freeze, get all nervous, become stupid, feel awkward, and just appear plain boring or anti-social. Imagine we bump into the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell in the elevator, if we see such a person as high and mighty we'll be like frozen and come across as unfriendly and weird. If we see the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell as a human being just like us, who has a big job that has its perks but also has a very difficult side, we will relate and act very differently in the elevator.  All in all, the right perception of people is very useful to have in practical life. I'm going to give you an example or two of such wrong and very common perceptions of people in Gnosis. Wrong Perceptions Often students can see the instructor or missionary as a saint, as a holy p...

It is good to regularly step on the accelerator. Turn up the heat. Crank up the volume. Press the '+' button etc. in our efforts of dissolving the ego.  Push to get to a point. Then return to normal.  This push is helpful, and necessary at times to get us over the line to a point in the dissolution of any "I" we are working on. Sometimes if we don't push ourselves and make that extra effort we don't quite break through. End (3580).

The way we lose our day is by just letting our day run. Only seeing the human life things we have to do (day job tasks, cleaning, calls etc.), and in the background thinking that just doing that and attending Gnosis activities is enough. If we add another dimension into ourselves things can be a lot different. I propose the introduction of a new background dimension into the consciousness we have of our life. Let's see, the first step to creating that new dimension in our consciousness is knowing that just doing the tasks of life is not enough, if we really want to transform ourselves from the inside out.  The second important step is going to that new background dimension.  The third step is staying there and operating life from there. The way to stay there is to remember that life is not enough we need an extra work dimension added into our consciousness of life. End (3578).

If we start working earnestly on an ego and we begin to notice glimmers of the amazing: it is getting weaker and where we would normally react, we now stop and feel some space...  Where a different way of thinking is starting to emerge. We have to strike, because the iron is hot and we must keep striking until we precipitate the process of the decline.  End (3577).

Please don't forget your missionary, instructor, teacher, guide or group leader whomever he or she may be. Your missionary, instructor is the one that vouches for you in many ways, in mind, heart and essence. Even later in Being and even in flesh and bone. Your missionary is the one that worries over how your psychological work is going and how you are progressing. One of a missionary or instructor's main concern is about how best to help their students, so often that is what they most talk about in their circles - how to best help. A missionary often sweats bullets, digs deep to bring out all of his or her hope and love to help you before the difficult circumstances of your life.  Your missionary, instructor deserves your focus.

Here are some links to posts that each explain a little bit of the psychology of the four elements. https://gnosticesotericstudyworkaids.blogspot.com/2019/08/life-teaches-us-what-to-do-with-four.html https://gnosticesotericstudyworkaids.blogspot.com/2016/09/feel-like-elemental-1121.html https://gnosticesotericstudyworkaids.blogspot.com/2018/04/lessons-of-trails-of-elements-2317.html End (3574).

Among so many things, the will inside the ego is there to override the better judgement of our essence. Our essence may feel that something is wrong and it may feel very uneasy about something but the will of the ego being strong overrides that feeling and pushes us into fulfilling the ego's desires.  If the ego had no will there would never be a problem. The ego uses the brute force of our own will that it has in its hands to overcome the essence. To silence it and to ride straight over the top of it. The problem with all the egos is that they have will inside of them. The will of the ego is used by our karma to make us to suffer - that is to pay our debts or more like, rather to get us into trouble where we will suffer and pay a lot of debts from the past. We have to be wary of the will of the ego. May the natural judgement nad discernment of the essence in us prevail. End (3572).

An ego or two manifest - well that's potentially good there is definitely something concrete to potentially work on. Though it does not actually become good until we WORK ON IT! The more timely we work on it the better.  The longer we leave it the more difficult it becomes. We forget the details and the flavour of it. The key factor is timely work . That is the magic wand that converts potential into actual good.  Now that it is the end of the work day, instead of asking "what's for dinner?", go inside and ask "what's to work on?". I'm doing that right now and there's a good bit to get stuck into. See ya later! End (3571).

Years Ago So this was years ago. I picked a fight with a kid in primary school and it went pretty pear shaped. That's because he won and very quickly became like an enemy and his mates turned into like bullies.  Thank goodness he didn't kick me there. That was a really good lesson to learn. I first thought the lesson was: "if you pick a fight make sure you can win". I tried that, then I learnt that up against teachers and the school principal you are never going to win. After that I began to learn the lesson, that: antipathy does not take you anywhere, only into lots of trouble, into lots of reprimands, stress and fear. Its not the right way, the best is to be on good terms with our fellow man and then live in peace.  Dead Anyway that aside I was one day reviewing my life and I remembered that guy and I so I googled him and holy macaroni the guy is dead, he died in November 2017 during the time of one of our big retreats. I couldn't believe it, h...

When a group of people get together their minds get together. This happens because of the law of like attracts like, i.e. the Law of Attraction. When a group of people has the same goal, and a very similar way of thinking about that goal, parts of the group member's minds are attracted to together because like attracts like. As the different parts of people's minds come closer together a group mind is formed. The group mind is a connection point or a hub if you like through which the mind of each member is loosely linked to the mind of the other members.  This group mind or hub is formed in the mental dimension.  Through this hub members can sense the thinking of the other members related to the group's common interests, which are essentially the group's goals.  The thinking of a few groups members also through this hub can affect the thinking of some of the other members.  It makes sense that the more mental stability there is the more s...

Ah we look for perfect love in a woman, but it is really hard to always find it there, and a woman may look for perfect love in a man and it may be even more difficult to find it there. Lots of disappointment here and there. Well, in our Being is a place where we can find it. Where else could we find it I ask myself? In God, yes in God, but who or where is God for us? In our Being right! In our Being!!! How do you imagine your Being relates to you? Has to be through Its love right? Or could it be through a corrupted, tainted love? No! Of course not! It can't be that, that is more how we may relate to It! So It LOVES us, but that LOVE is unknown to us or mysterious to us or like out of reach to us... Look at that love of the Being for a minute, see, imagine, how could it be? Explore it widely, see your life - see how that love has guided, protected you, look and look and explore and explore through all of your life's events. Take inspiration fly and search... We may se...
