A Gnostic Standard List of the Parts of the Being - (5110)

Introduction

Also for certain, the parts of a Divine Being will have their own particular names, which will be different those on the list. Their functions though will be very similar if not the same. 

Nonetheless, this is our template and our way of starting to connect the diverse parts of our Inner Being.

Make Today a Day of Awakening and Death - (5109)

Each day is a precious opportunity to do something for our Inner Being.

If we make a point of doing something in our day we will do it.

If we make a point of awakening to something and dying to something in our day we will also do it.

Make it a point for each day and we will create a line of work and that line will create a destiny.

End (5109).

No Person and No Area Should Hide from the Work - (5108)

The work on ourselves really should extend everywhere within us and within our life.

There should not be a person or areas that we for some reason don't bring the work into.

We can really make this mistake. However when we realise it and bring and apply the work, things are much better for it.

End (5108).

Most Important of All is a LINE OF WORK!!! - (5107)

What really makes a 'work' a 'work' is a constant line of work.

To produce in our lives a constant line of work no matter what it is for, is a grand achievement. So common is the case that us human beings are so inconsistent and sporadic and consequently get nowhere.

It is really the means by which we develop in any way. 

If we set up for ourselves as the most important thing a line of work, working on ourselves everyday in the same way. That is doing the same practice but on different subjects. For example meditations on the death of the ego but on different "I's".

With that line of working we can know and say that we are really working and going to get somewhere.

End (5107).

Don't Love your Concepts and your Way Too Much - (4549)

Love Affair with Our Concepts = Upset

There is really so much self-love to do with our concepts and ways of thinking and feeling about things. There is also so much self-love about our ways of doing things.

What keeps us attached to our own concepts about things is a kind of a love affair with them and ourselves.

We must love our Being and ourselves as an essence of a  Divine Monad but to love our concepts that are not Divine in nature and could well be erroneous or are just as good as the concepts of others, does not make much sense.

Yet we are truly in love with our concepts...

The proof is that we get upset and angry and fight over our concepts when they are challenged, and furthermore we feel that things should all go in accordance with our concepts so that our concepts are 'pleased'.

Wrong concept little buddy - big green is not always equal to big orange.

Conclusion

The conclusion is to work to detach ourselves from our very own concepts. This is freedom and so useful in practical life. It also does not mean we are any less or that we are going to disappear or become weak and ineffective.

The essence does not have concepts. It does not depend on concepts and it is shines more powerfully even without concepts. Each concept is a bottle or jail for the essence.

Ray of Force Notes - (4994)

Introduction

This post is a collection of notes about the ray of force. 

My hope is that while reading it, a certain atmosphere will be formed allowing you in your particular way to make a connection to the ray of force. Then through that connection you may be able to find something you are looking for...

Having said that the best connection to the ray of Force is truly the teachings of Master Samael. His ray - the ray of Force is alive in all his books and lectures.

Cosmic Sense

One of the eternal properties of God, is God being almighty! God can not be God, if God is not almighty, right? 

Just like God can not be God, if God is not all knowing. All-knowing, all-seeing, almighty, all-present, all-being are the properties that only God (the Absolute) can have.  

Classically, all-knowing, all-seeing, all-being, all-present and almighty are attributed to God and no one or anything else.

Might or strength coming directly from the almighty property of God is one of the primordial divine properties of God (Absolute).

The ray of Force is the might or strength of God in action in creation.

In no way can God we be weak. Why? Because if God was weak, another force may be able to overcome God and perhaps install itself as the creating and governing principle...  

From the above statement we can see that force, one of the key eternal properties of God is related to combat (interaction of forces), protection, order and governing (power).

We will see later in this post how the ray of force works closely with the rays of law, order, love, wisdom, medicine, life and death.

Everything in the universe that has life is a force. If something has energy it has force. Though the ray of force is more than that (energy), it is also the consciousness of force.

As we can imagine, the force of God is so needed in creation to maintain the order that the intelligent principles of the universe have set in motion.

So that the intelligent principles and creating Gods may lead and preside over creation, the ray of force is needed.

In keeping order and rebelling against the order force is needed.

What can produce chaos in creation is force. What can produce and maintain order in creation is force.

Only force can rebel and overcome reason, where that reason is order and balance. To break and either restore balance force is needed.

Here we can see the duality of force. The Divine Law uses force to restore balance and to administer the many backlashes that come about because of the misuse of having broken balance.

One can easily appreciate how the ray of force was instrumental in the rebellion of the angels.

The force of the Absolute is needed unfold creation. The ray of Force is related to the ray of Life.

The ray of force in our Solar System is administered and governed by Mars and its regent is Logos Samael. Our guru!

It is interesting to note how it was the Logos of Mars Samael's turn to govern over the fifth root race,  which is the race that is furthest away from Divinity experiencing the iron age. 

Iron is the the metal of industry, construction, weaponry - in short labour and war.

The ray of force is the only one that can do something on a large scale in these times of the closing of a cycle...

The ray of forces protects.

The Absolute knew that in the chaos or creation various human beings would need to be protected.

The ray of Force holds the mysteries of the strength of God. Some of the mysteries of force are unity, will, life force energy and justice.  

Esoteric Sense

Force is needed to create and start a certain enterprise. It is also needed to lift a given enterprise that is withering.

Force is used to build or destroy. To raise up or bring down. 

Force becomes most visible in duality where often a clash of forces is witnessed. The ray of force is needed to help various energies prevail over others.

One of the roles of force is to provide the strength to overcome difficulties. 

Force is used to uphold the laws. The ray of Force is related tot eh ray of the Law.

Force is needed to break and surpass the inferior to come under superior laws.

The ray of force favours the just.

The way of the warrior, the way to God through the conscious path of force.

Force finds it most potent combination with wisdom. Then it can serve justice.

Force combines so well with wisdom and love.

The ray of force is the ray that sacrifices itself a lot. It enters into the fray of conflict sacrificing itself for the restoration of balance.

Force is always behind revolution. If it was not for the force Master Samael put into the doctrine we would not be able to enact a revolution within ourselves.

If a malevolent force triumphs it is because the Divine Law supported it.

Love converts into force. Love then converts into wisdom to further its reach.

Love and wisdom are must to be developed for those of the ray of force. Many egos relating to love and wisdom will appear to be dissolved for those of this ray.

Planet Mars

We see Master's Samael's mission being from the ray of force his gospel had to be the Alchemy. To bring this message to the world, force was needed to push through all the resistance. The Alchemy itself is to work with the primordial forces of creation within the human being and the cosmos.

Mars is said to behind any country or party that enters into war. For as long as the country or party remains just.

We see when in life in the age from 35 to 42 we come under the planet Mars. We are given the force to truly fight to establish ourselves in our chosen vocation or position in life.

Force maintains, transcends, builds, destroys, defends, attacks and supports.

Ontological Sense

Each Monad has a tremendous force. Which is in its will.

The ray of force is the one that stands heroic. No other ray seems to hold the place of heroes.

There is no triumph without force. The ray of force is in charge of delivering triumph. When love and wisdom are behind force, it justly brings victory.

The gift of the ray of force is victory.

Love invokes force, wisdom guides it, justice gives it the right measure and scope and love motivates it.

The spirit is strong and the flesh weak. The stronger force or strength is with the spirit. The Being in us needs force to function in matter. 

The strength of God is the ray of force. To love God and approach God with strength is the motto of the ray of Force.

Those of the ray of force see God as the strength that holds everything and the strength that holds us in God, with God and to God. OM SEA FUERZA!

All powerful is - all mighty is God.

Human Sense

God give me strength is what some mothers would say when their children did something wrong.

If you feel strong and have force - direct it inwardly to know yourself deeper than you have ever before. Such inwards efforts make the force we are gifted with useful.

All force comes from the Being and should return to It. That is our true role with force. 

We need force to concentrate and to call the virtue.

Everything is round, all energies and forces descend only to traverse an arc returning to its origin. As the origin is the Being that is where it must return.

The force that keeps us standing is a phenomenal force, which Master Samael tells us descends from Mars. Truly without that force we would be jelly. I feel that we may not even be able to walk. We really do not know the power and significance of that force.

We see how the liver is related to Mars as it is the organ in us that fights tirelessly to break down compounds that the body can not otherwise assimilate.

The military the armed forces etc. are expressions of this ray.

A military is an expression of a country's human and esoteric force. The military is used to defend, rescue, liberate, restore order, attend to emergency situations and occupy foreign lands (not just if it is not within the plans of the Divine Law - like how it was the plan of the Law for the Roman Empire to expand by the hand of Julius Cesar - Ray of Force)

The wrong side of force is to oppress, exploit, destroy.

Bravery comes from the ray of force and is love and force in flight.

Behind any revolution of a human government there is force.

Hidden Side of the Psychological Moon Notes - (5043)

Introduction

This post presents some of the points that we can utilise to discover and know more about the hidden side of our psychology.

Notes

The moon in esoteric psychological terms is our egoic psychology. So the hidden side are the egos and their facets of egos which we do not see.

So much of our psychological work is here within the principles of this talk. The main objective of our psychological is to transform darkness into light. The hidden side of our psychological moon is our darkness.

To work with the principles of this talk we really need to be humble. 

Humility in relation to this talk is to truly accept that there is so much about ourselves that we don't know and so much that there is to correct. 

We conquer the level of humility needed to work on the hidden side when the attitude of being happy to know what needs correcting within us, appears in us.

The following points are useful in discovering aspects of the hidden side of our psychological moon.

Discovery and Exploration Points

We project our defects onto others. What we assume that others are thinking, feeling and doing when they do not say anything and when we don't see them acting is usually a projection of our hidden side.

We basically project onto them what we do that we don't know or accept that we do it. As soon as we realise that we do it then we know that it only refers to us and not to anyone else.

We have created so many self-images which are based on what we lack or in other words what we have in the hidden side of ourselves.

When we don't like others getting angry but we are often angry and we react angrily to someone else's anger.

When don't allow others to feel sad, yet we feel sad often and give ourselves the right to feel sad but not extend it to others.

When we can't understand a certain egoical behaviour and we become like fascinated with it or scandalised y it and judge it too harshly. That is because we have the same egos in our hidden side and we have not come to observe them and understand them yet.

When we judge others. When we judge we are judging based on what we are. We are the same psychologically as those that we judge psychologically.

If we see a defect in others it is certain we have it also. It takes one to know one. We know that we have it when the others say that we have it also and we angrily refute it.

Mechanical antipathy and empathy. When we feel mechanical antipathy for someone, it is because we have the same defects. For example a controlling person will not like at first glance another controlling type of person.

When we protect the egos of others. Especially their weaknesses and we get angry when others say that we shouldn't do that.

Anger protects the hidden side of psychological moon.

We are under intense pressure the hidden side of our psychological moon starts to become observable.

End (5043).

Guardian of Threshold - A Test of Humility - (5105)

The Guardian of the Threshold test is really a test of humility.

To be humble is to have a clear vision of our reality. Those who are proud have a very unclear vision and of their psychological reality and true capacities.

To be ready and open to see and accept our reality is what is required to pass the guardian of the Threshold test.

It is also the basic foundation upon which any work on ourselves begins. If we do not ever have the capacity to see ourselves as we are and accept our reality as ugly as we will find it, we will never ever work on ourselves.

The Guardian of the Threshold is a part of our very own Being that reflects our true psychological reality. Only a true part of ourselves can do that for us.

Those who fail the Guardian of the Threshold test stop the work on themselves and soon find the work is something goes against them and soon they become bitter and go against the work, Gnosis and the people who go to Gnosis.

End (5105).

Preacher Ego - (5106)

There is an ego which I'll describe in this post, but to start with I think a good name for it is the 'preacher ego'. 

What is the preacher ego? It is a branch of pride that more than just teaches. It makes what one is teaching to more than it is, and it personalises what one is teaching.

The preacher ego annoys others with the same ego and controls those with a tendency to feel inferior.

We can easily identify with the preacher ego when teaching Gnosis. Because it is a doctrine that goes right to the cause of things and it is revolutionary and powerful and if applied will radically change a person and their life.

When we make out subtly or overtly that Gnosis is better than anything else for all people and our way of doing things and our view of God is the best we are in the preacher ego. 

Master Samael never spoke or taught in that way.

To have the preacher ego we have to have been preaching.

End (5106).

Many a Day Lost in the Intellect - (5104)

Why we overthink, why we feel lost, why we are confused, why time flies, why we feel we are not getting anywhere, why we feel that we are chasing ourselves into the future...

It is only because of the wrong use of our intellect - our mind, with all its many many thoughts, that we feel lost. In fact we become lost in and amongst the hundreds and hundreds of different and contradictory thoughts. 

We need to see our central light and quieten down all those thoughts find our way again.

We need to pay much more attention to our actual selves in each moment and all the above problems disappear. 

With the practice of sustained attention on ourselves in each moment we find our real selves and from there all the questions are answered and all the issues we are facing are put into perspective.

End (5104).

Notes on the Word - (5102)

The Word or Verb is a cosmic value. It is present in all spheres through creation and beyond creation.

It is easier to relate to the Word as a cosmic value after having studied it in the psychological and human spheres.

If we examine human life, we will see that the Word is an integral part of life. Life as we know it would quickly disassemble if the Word ceased to exist.

We see that the word is very important and very powerful in human life.

The same applies to our psychology. Without the word, we would not be able to think as we do.

Thoughts are words and images.

In many ways the language we speak and consequently think with, has a psychology which plays a significant role in forming or conditioning our own psychology. 

For example, in English there is only one word for love. In Spanish there are several words to for the different kinds of love. Meaning those who speak Spanish know because of their language about the different degrees and classes of love, which opens up different ways of expressing love.

There are basically four types of word: spoken, written, inner and silent. The spoken word is not the only expression of the word.

Silence is also classed as the word. Silence says many things. Silence itself is a valid answer and sometimes the wisest answer.

There are instances where it is wrong to speak and wrong to keep silent.

The word creates, maintains and destroys. It has the power to lift a person up from the floor as well as the power to disarm the most difficult and tensest of conflicts. It also can destroy reputations in a few instants and terribly divide people held together by ancestral bonds.

The level of being of a person is certainly expressed in their word. In what is said and in what use they give to their word.

The word is magic. It creates according to the intention we infuse into it.

Words make up the highest percentage of impressions that we take in. Theya re also the more important impressions that we give to others.

The word has a very sexual connection and in days past, the ‘word of honour’ existed, where one saw one’s word as a sacred part of one’s self and to fulfil one’s word was to honour oneself and the other person.

There was in the past a kind of integration with our word. We were only as good as our word. Now days there is a great divide. Where little attention is paid to honouring our word.

When we lie we produce a disconnection according to the degree with our Inner Being. There are several ways of lying. Lying through the different expressions of the word, speaking, writing, silence and within our psychology. 

Each ego is a lie and when we identify with an ego we are lying within ourselves to ourselves.

There are some important aspects of the word to become aware of. They are tone, volume and rhythm.

Often it is not what people say, it is how they say it that offends. Alo how quietly or loudly words are spoken can also frustrate, scare or annoy others.

We can see that each ego has a particular use of the word. Each ego introduces its particular content of interest and manipulates the volume, rhythm and tone of the word for its purposes.

If we change our word we will change our life. Because our word being creative will be set up different circumstances.

We need to rescue our word. Rescue it from the ego that is. This work has four stages: study, control, refine and purify.

Excessive talking is like fornication, it can break the Hermetic seal where little can then be created.

The more we speak about something the further we go from action. Word and action are always meant to be together.

The inner word is very powerful. It has the unique power of creating our internal states. If we are sad it was because sad words were spoken in our mind.

Our goal is to become impeccable with our word.

To become impeccable with our word requires much consciousness of the effects of our words, as well as a clear knowledge of the psychology behind our words, in the way we speak to others and receive the words of others.

End (5102).

Virtue Notes - (5095)

Notes Part 1

These are notes taken during a class.

We must not intellectualise the virtues but give them immediate action.

The more essence we have the more virtues can be crystallised into it and the more virtue can be expressed.

To have more essence we need to free more essence through mystical death.

All the virtues are expressed in accordance to the 'level of being' of a person.

A person has a minimum of each virtue. With the work on ourselves that is expanded upon.

Each of us have to develop certain virtues in each life that we have.

Circumstances to develop those needed virtues will repeat and repeat until we develop them.

The virtues are also sent to us from our Inner Being to be manifested here in the physical. 

A characteristic of the awakened consciousness is love. A characteristic of the ego is selfishness.

The virtues extend from Monad to Monad. The defects go from ego to ego, they are very limited.

The essence of love is others. The opposite of love is selfishness.

Selfishness is against the oneness, against the unity and the Absolute.

To know if we are expressing a defect or virtue we have to pay attention to the end result.

The virtue does not discriminate. The virtues has 'eyes' to see. It sees beyond ourselves. The defect does not see beyond that.

The power of the virtues are grandiose. Their power is greater than the power of the defects. At present we can see how powerful the defects are. They currently rule the world. Imagine then how powerful the virtues are.

The virtues are a powerful spiritual causal factor. The defects are causal also, yet they are a causal power that works through the mind in relativity and duality that then controls the emotion and action.

The causal power of the virtue goes beyond the mind into the essence beyond relativity and duality which the mind is not capable of doing.

To exercise the virtue we really need to overcome huge obstacles. Fear being the major obstacle.

The ego has inverted causal power connected to the abyss. Whereas the causal power of the virtues comes from the Monad.

Sometimes in the expression of the virtue there is a loss, however it converts later into an extraordinary gain. With the defect it is a loss and then another loss. 

There is no reasoning in the virtues. The ego reasons too much. The ego uses the mind - logic, reasons and justifications. The virtues are above reasoning.

The virtues do not classify like the mind of the defect does.

Those who have the virtue do not justify it or defend it. They are just it, they are the virtue.

It is direct action from the Being that gives and gives.

Love is one of the greatest of all virtues that dissolves all the inferior powers.

Love is always between two souls or two parties.

Love dissolves divisions and borders while the ego creates them. Karma is limiting and so the defect is an agent of karma.

The virtues dissolve the karma. Because karma is pain and the virtues are from the Being which is not pain. The virtues always liberate.

The consequences of using a virtue are positive. We can not exaggerate virtues because the result will be negative.

Justice restores the balance of the Being.

In the power of the virtue sacrifice is not about sacrificing others it is about sacrificing ourselves and our inferior nature or defects.

Dignity, majesty and balance are present in all the virtues.

In the virtues a superior good replaces an inferior one.

Know where the virtue is coming from within us. Either the awakened essence, the mind or an ego.

The virtues increase and enhance yourself and others.

Sometimes because of love we have to say no also.

The virtues usually always go beyond the interests of the mind and the ego. Because they are of a superior nature.

The virtues also help us to restore justice. They restore the equality of the outer and inner scales. They give us dharma.

Compassion is loving myself as a soul and as a Being. As a soul of my being not as a human being. As soon as we love ourselves as a soul of a Being we then cut away all these weaknesses, vices and defects. True compassion is to love ourselves consciously in the Monad.

Not loving ourselves consciously results to loving our mind and ego which increases the strength of our defects and vices.

The superior mission of our body is for us to do our work and for us to work with our Inner Being to fulfill its work.

Virtues run along side the points of reference of the work, the Being and the path. They do not run along side life, mind, ego etc. For example we are patient with ourselves in the time taken to dissolve and "I" and pay a karma. Not patient with pour defects, allowing all the time needed to express themselves. 

Applying the virtues makes us to change!

Notes Part 2

Any virtue not in its place creates an ego.

In relation to the virtue of justice, the consciousness radically awakens when we balance correctly the virtue of justice.

The use of justice is to restore the balance, dignity and majesty of the Monad.

All exaggeration destroys the virtue.

The corrupted virtue turns evil into good on one side only.

The virtue is uni-total it brings good to both or all sides involved.

This is the major difference between the corrupted virtue and the virtue. The virtue is uni-total.

The virtue is above relativity and duality while the corrupted virtue is conditioned by it.

The ego has a virtue but on one side.

The virtue is neutral. It is blind to relativity and duality, it is however clairvoyant to its own application in justice.

The virtue is an instrument of the inner Being and the Divine Law to compensate and repair.

The corrupt virtue is an instrument of the ego and the karma.

To accept a virtue the essence must have a bit of awakening and a bit of the same virtue.

The virtue serves to amend the karam and also intelligently pay the karma.

Charity, service, sacrifice, help, altruism, benevolence, co-operation, solidarity, disinterested love, etc. are some virtues necessary for the third-factor.

The interior Anubis impulses us to cultivate and use the virtue in practical life and in the karmic situations of our life.

The ego transforms the virtue to do good for only one person, ourselves or our family.

The point of reference of the virtues is the consciousness.

Each virtue is an opening and an expanding power.

Temptation is the instrument to transform a virtue into a defect (corrupted virtue).

Virtue pertains to the field of the Being and to the field of the Divine Law, where it can be used as an instrument for good (Dharma) or evil (karma).

One virtue is connected to all other virtues and if are to develop one we will draw others and the virtues multiply. Just as the ego does.

End (5095).

Before and In your Day Stand and Walk in Alertness - (5103)

The deep meaning of the day is to make our day a step forward on the path towards our Inner Being whether it is the left or right foot that makes that step.

Stand in alertness to receive with alertness the impressions and circumstances of the day.

Walk in alertness, generate actions of the day in full alertness.

When alert we find the work on ourselves...

Never tire of remembering to stand and walk alert during the day. Alert is being conscious, directing our attention. Remember and remember until it becomes natural/instinctive.

Only this makes our day worthwhile.

End (5103).

Arising Random Interests - (5101)

Many random interests arise in us along the way... 

Even though they all can be classed as a distraction they all obviously represent a encounter with ourselves. That is, they represent a part of ourselves that surfaces for a reason...

Mathematical way of saying our interests are connected to us!

Some are recurrences, some are due to the result of impressions working on our psyche over time and some are about learning.

It's good to know which is which. Because that tells us how to the best deal with them.

If they are a recurrence - then off we go to work on the ego that has drawn out the recurrence. Working on that ego liberates light and understanding and frees us from the past.

If they are are due to impressions. Then off we go work to transform more those impressions and discern if those impressions are convenient for our work as to what to do if we receive more of them.

Another way of saying some interests are for the essence to further its purpose of self-realisation.

If they are about learning something then study and internalise that study looking for what we need to take from that interest, so as to develop something in our psyche to be of use to our work, path and Being.

End (5101).

Love the Change and the New Person that will Emerge - (5100)

The right use of love from the work point of view is to love the change in ourselves. That is to love the new you that will appear from changing.

This use of love is a love that surpasses the petty love for ourselves, which is a petty kind of love for our defects and the way we currently are . 

Such a use of love is a power that helps us in making changes.

A love for our small selves and our defects is not really a love is it?

End (5100).
