Gnostic Wisdom

All safe and sound back at home base now. Posts from the travels and retreats can now go up. Standby in the next week or so. There's a lot to post... End (4831).

When working on ourselves we see now and then that we do some crazy things in order to advance. You may not have felt this yet but don’t worry there will be a time when you will.  It is really a controlled craziness. You know what you are doing and why. It is only crazy because it goes so much against the norms of what is commonly done and the ways of doing things. In fact many people in life have are doing or have done the same or similar crazy things but they don’t always know why and they are not doing it or did it for a higher purpose. To finish, Master Samael we need a dose of craziness to do the work on ourselves. The good kind of craziness that is, not the bad kind where we keep getting angry letting it destroy our lives and never work on it to eliminate it.  End (4830).

Retreats are like a miniature absolute. Where we are all focused on the Being in us and in all of us and we all interact in peace and harmony. Everything we need is there and there is happiness all around. We practice and learn a lot. Then comes the time for it to end and then the worry and sadness starts to creep in. Because we have to go back to our individual lives - to our particular battle fields and provide everything once again for our existence. Going back to life gives us the chance to put into practice what we learnt. Making our lives more conscious and therefore more open to our Inner Being and the Being of all of us.  In the end if we put a good effort into each retreat they serve the absolute and others through us applying the retreat in our lives.  End (4829).

If we ever ask for help from anywhere invisible and above and the answer is a quiet silence then the advice I have always received is to take that answer with caution and go to the side of meaning a ‘no’.  Some may think that silence means that it doesn’t matter and it may well mean that but I would say before making any decision reflect well on the side of  ‘no’ being the best answer.

Just to let you all know, posts will resume in two weeks or so. Currently travelling.  End (4827).

Disclaimer Long awaited writings. A disclaimer: this post has subjective components to it. So please take it lightly and reflect upon it to arrive at your own truth and conclusions. Symptoms (Subjectivity Involved) ▼ Indifference or no fear about involution and the abyss. ▼  Very mentally rigid and psychologically heavy - as the abyss is drawing ever closer. In the last existence the influence of the abyss is near and mother nature prepares the person by assimilating into the person the density and heaviness of the abyss. ▼  Has experienced all that life has to offer especially the 'evils' of life. So that the Monad of the essence can take all its learnings from life and 'evil' before entering involution. ▼  Strong establishment in life. Petrified in the norms of life. ▼  Problematic or conflictive personality, that tends to cause problems in many areas that they participate in. This is because they have the tendency to be aligned towards outcomes that are complicate...

Someone had a very interesting dream where they were told that they have been helped more than 300 times to not go astray from the path. Amazing! There are for sure many times where we know we did go astray and many times where we know we could have and then there are also many times where we were helped to not go astray and we don’t know it.  This dream tells us a lot. Firstly it tells us we are always helped. If we are finding it all difficult right now - we are being helped. Secondly we are helped so many times that we just don’t know about.  End (4825).

To one day face within ourselves our previous 'fall' is to face a monster. To get a glimpse of the causes of our previous fall is to glimpse something really serious. Something seriously negative and grave. It was that which was so powerful inside of us, to throw away years of hard work, and one of the most important and best relationships that a human being can have - the relationship to God. It turns out we always throw away the best for the worst. What could be so negative to go against all that is correct, life giving, loving, luminous? What could be so negative to destroy a loving relationship to our Inner God. It just has to be something of serious monstrosity and power, doesn't it? End (4824).

To love life fully means to also love death, as death is a part of life. The last thing that we do in life is to die. To love our life we have to also love our death. To love a person and their life means to also love their death, whatever way it takes. This legitimate love of the way of our death and of the way another person dies is from where 'the macabre' and also black humour originated from. To love our death or a loved one’s death is not macabre but if we exaggerate that it can become macabre.  Love and joy come together and black humour to those who like it brings some kind of joy and laughter. There is a link.  The only thing about black humour and 'the macabre' is that the acceptance and love of a person's death has been taken out of its right place, and as soon as it is out of its right place, it becomes something a little strange, just like how 'the macabre and black humour" are something strange.  End (4823).

I heard about "eating frogs" and it sounded good. Until today I understood what they mean. It really is a good habit to eat frogs earlier in the morning. We all have days where we have to do something that we don't like that much. Whether it be to talk to someone, write an email, do our tax return, tidy up the garage, wash the dishes etc.  That is quite good advice to do those things that we don't like in the morning. It is not good to delay for later. One, because we often end up delaying it until the next day or later, and two, thinking about doing it and how much it isn't going to be fun wears us down and distracts us, and three, in the morning is where we have the most energy to eat a frog'.

Introduction For the consciousness we must turn into practical beings. Practical psychology is the aim. Practical psychology is not the psychology of convenience or the psychology of "killing two birds with the one stone", or being efficient, it is something different. It is really about the death of the "I" in action and strengthening the affirmative psychology. This post aims at giving an insight into practical psychology that helps the awakening of consciousness. Practical Psychology It is a psychology that is is based on facts and omits the processes and manifestation of the egos in our psychology. It is a psychology that solves the problems and issues of life from a practical point of view without mental and emotional processes. Practical action is also affirmative psychology in action. It is also a very excellent way to die in ourselves, in our egoic selves that is. Here are many examples of the practical psychology in action: Examples Event: "You almost...

A very difficult type of debt is one where we are working on the path and then we have a debt to life and that debt can only be paid with the values of life. So if we pay that debt that way our spiritual work will obviously suffer. What is the solution? One solution is to hope on the nobility of the person collecting the debt to ask them payment in another way be acceptable. If they are unforgiving and not noble then we have to find a middle ground or another intelligent way to do it. If there be no middle ground then give the payment of the value in its highest to humanity and our Inner Being in the highest form of the value. The Inner Being and her Divine Law will see that and will transfer the merit of the actions of those values to pay the debt. End (4818).

If we give someone a value for years and they never reciprocate, or even notice, don't worry the Divine Law has been watching and the Divine Law will pay you. All the good that we have done - for others and our Inner Being in silence is always recorded by nature and will be weighed. The weighing of the scales is incessant as life is ever changing and the balance of all things is ever adjusting. We can be sure that nothing goes without being weighed and compensated. End (4813).

Each relationship has at stage or another an overarching governing value or quality which is expressed as a number. Typical numbers are: 5, 6, 10, 15, 20 etc.  If the number is 5 then it is karmic quality where there are constant payments and collections. In the lesser of the cases the payments and collections take the form a of trade in difficulties and moments of pain.  The value or number 10 means recurrence, meaning the past rules over the relationship. If the number is 15 then one or both trains each other in the work. Usually this takes the form of relative (not absolute) negative impressions requiring transformation. This is often the case because the at any given moment that is issuing the negative impressions does not have the virtues of the soul present to give to the relationship. So the question is which number governs some of your important relationships? It is good to know so that if it turns out to be the number: 5, 15, 18, 21 then we can investigate further to ...

The physical world in so many ways is empty. The feeling of awe and wonder is internal. What we seek from the physical world are really places and events that evoke that wonder and magic from inside of us. To combat the 'dust of life' as Picasso says, in other words the emptiness and dryness of the physical world we need to cultivate the inner world. Because that is where the magic and the mystical splendour and spark of the new, the unknown, the mystery, the exotic and the Divine all are... We can't live too long experiencing only the the emptiness and dryness before our essence starts to suffer...  Dreams, mediation, astral experiences, prayer and imagination are the avenues that help us to cultivate that inner world.
