The search for Knowledge.

To know oneself, at the deepest level, is simultaneously to know God or that Divine Force of Constant Creation; and this is the secret of gnosis (sacred knowledge/moral knowledge).  A wise gnostic teacher, Monoimus, says:  “Abandon the search for God and the creation and other matters of a similar sort.  Look for Him by taking yourself as the starting point.  Learn what it is within you which makes everything its own and says,  “My God, my mind, my thought, my soul, my body.”  Learn the sources of sorrow, joy, love, hate.  If you carefully investigate these matters you will find Him in yourself.”

So what is to find Him within yourself…??  And how do you actually do this…??

He is whatever expands your mind into pure love and harmony.  He is whatever divine process unites your intellect with your emotional body; because in this there is balance, in you, as a human creature destined to find your true self.  So to find Him within yourself is to find YOU without outer distractions and influences–without religions, without politics, without others manipulating you, without collective activities, etc. 

But how…??  Through a never-ending search for knowledge.  Expanding your mind in terms of your physiology, your psychology, your behavior as human, the history of the ancient cultures and peoples, anything which can help you, by actual application of these teachings by you, to be better in moral and ethics towards you and towards others.   The world is rich with books and knowledge, so develop your mind with it.

The search for knowledge must be your purpose, because knowledge expands your mind, because knowledge gives you the capacity to learn about the world around you, and because knowledge inspires you to be more in touch with reality towards a global conscience. 

A mind that is filled with rich and inspiring knowledge, factual and universal knowledge, is a mind that is confident, strong, poised, harmonious, moral and ethical; but, opposite to it, a mind that is stubborn, fixed in its strict beliefs and opinions, and empty when it comes to universal understanding, is a mind that is fearful, doubtful, attached and obsessed, and doomed to slavery within its own programming–i.e., not free.

See Death for what it really is.

Death is something profoundly significant, a wonderful mystery; and it is by discovering the true meaning and wonder of death that we discover true life–i.e., the secret to bliss in life and the meaning of each moment we are alive (whether moments of joy or of sadness).  But that which we call “death” can ONLY be truly understood and accepted, welcomed and even loved, by a consciousness which is ABSOLUTELY free–i.e., by an awakened consciousness.
This awakened consciousness then is not under the tyranny of the ego, filled with beliefs and traditions, opinions and superstitions around death; hence, the content of the mind has gotten rid of fear and attachment, or transmuted them into pure love and understanding.

Why do people fear death…??  People fear and become violent to what they do not understand.  For example, many times it has happened to me here, and in my life outside here, that I have commented the truth of humanity’s behavior, but people seemingly paying attention to my words, in their vain egos, swallowed and enslaved by their egotism, have become defensive, reactive and event verbally violent.  Thus, in the same sense, people fear death because their minds are not free, their minds being obsessed and attached to their own material pleasures–i.e., attached to environments, to people, to activities, to thinking and feeling, to their own opinions and views (all causes of suffering trapping consciousness).

We all know that when the body ceases function, and so does the brain with its electrical conductivity, we die and later disintegrate in the grave; however, our consciousness (the conscious energy inside our disintegrated atoms) is now free from the mind and its ego, and so it travels or it goes back to the “luminescent origins.”  Thus the soul of the deceased continues to live within the superior dimensions of nature; and this means in fact that the disembodied souls can “see” the Sun, the Moon, the stars, the rivers, the valleys, the mountains, just like we, but in a more splendid manner.

So, you see, one must not fear death but seek to understand it, as one must seek to understand it all which is possible to understand, in order to expand our minds, free our consciousness, and become more confident, blissful, and less ego-driven individuals.

Beware The Seductive Whore.

i
Finding the hidden truths, allowing your conscience to be illumined, detaching yourself from people and old views and beliefs, must be the goal of every moment you are alive; for that is indeed the great purpose of being alive and developing in this life, and let NO ONE tell you otherwise and sell you their ignorant deceit.  And that is exactly what people around you will seek to tell you, and that is also what any institution in your society will seek to tell you; and that is, that you should worship Jesus, or Buddha, or such and such prophet or priest, or the scriptures, or your hard-earned money, or even people you love.

But paradise, truth, love in its divine essence, is not meant for ANY KIND of worshiper; for worshipers are worshipers because they are attached to the ignorant philosophy of superiority and inferiority.  The worshiper feels inferior to the worshiped, so the ego creates this illusion which creates a brutal duality; therefore, inferiority and superiority are born, the victim seeks a liberator (whether another human being or an object), the slave seeks someone or something to free him.  This process of worshiping confuses the mind, hides the truth, buries the Innermost inside you under thick layers of beliefs and under thick layers of fear/victimization.

The problem is that when you feel like a victim you feel depressed and frustrated, chained to situations and to a very crude human nature where you do not see a way out; hence, the distortion of reality, the loss of truth, and the dictatorship of fear in you.  This feeling of inferiority in you is something that society–its religions, its politics, its academic education, its commercial agendas, etc.–wants desperately, because when you are held hostage by confusion and fear then your mind is naive and easily corrupted and controlled–so you buy unnecessary and unhealthy items, you seek worshiping religions and men of nice titles, you listen to any garbage music they make without caring what it does to your mind, etc. etc.

The only freedom is in questioning everything, in dissecting all they give you, because in this your mind will expand and find truth; and in this you will leave the seductive darkness of attachment–i.e., attachment to people, attachment to ideologies, attachment to institutions, attachment to ALL material things.

To worship has been distorted and made something stupid and vulgar, as men and women take objects like money or politics or religions and also ideals like the scriptures and things which man says and become seekers of this; however, to truly worship is to seek your inner self through health and applying ideas and philosophies which can purify your mind and heart, so your actions in the world are of higher morality as a better human being.  Truth is always the goal, not the feeding of the ego through comforting beliefs and ideas; follow the truth wherever it leads you, destroy your illusions, seek The Kingdom of God/Illumination of your conscience.  This indeed we can call the true art of worship.

What is your direction in life…??

Concept of confused business with different directions
Whether you are 20 years old or 90 years old that title poses a very deep and important question to you, to all of us.  Because it is not about your distant future, but about what you are doing this moment; that is, what is your energy trying to accomplish, what is your direction, what drives you, what motivations you have to do this right now.  You have to find out what is your reason for doing what you are doing, find the light and the marvel in all you do; otherwise you will lose interest and confidence in your direction in life, thus your energy will be depleted and thoughts of depression and meaninglessness will enter your mind.

In each moment we are transforming energy and directing energy.  Of course, this energy is creative; we create with our thoughts, we create with our feelings, and we create with our actions…  “Wherever we direct our attention, we expend creative energy.”  ~ Samael Aun Weor…  The “goal” or essence of life in this physical realm is structure, structure guides us and maintains us focused; so in any spiritual path (moral path of the human being) to learn how to properly manage that energy is our “goal”, to use that energy in the right way, in order to stop trapping the energy in the ego-centers of the mind, to cease that bad habit which one might be constantly performing even without awareness.

And for that, to direct and structure these energies, to step out of the ego and tame or wild and wayward thoughts, discipline is the key.  It is freedom to be ourselves and express what we really have inside us; thus, a good, illuminating, healthy discipline focuses the mind and maintains it focused and directing its energy in something of value, so transmuting energy which can be otherwise wasted in trivialities and unconscious endeavors we now turn into value and identity from our inner selves.  And isn’t the most gratifying and greatly blissful thing to know that we have value within us and actually see that value every day…??

So, do not pay attention to your situation but focus on your discipline and on creating value within yourself, for yourself; not to be praised or admired by others, but to be recognized and loved by yourself, to see the value you actually have right now within yourself–otherwise you will lose interest and lose your own way in life.

47367527_591932174573482_1018005487938961408_n

And I would say the most important part of your life, the one that builds character and morals, health and confidence are practices of discipline.  For example, I get up every morning at 5 am to meditate one hour, then I check my messages from email and Facebook, then I exercise, then take a cold shower, and so on and so forth. 

But discipline must be built in practices you see as important and healthy for you, individually just for you, nobody should tell you; and if you do this, in time, you will develop a routine and build your confidence and strength.  Everything you do in life must be made with determination and confidence, and a set of discipline in small things in life molds your mind to have determination and confidence in all other aspects of life.

Without excuses.

What results out of unawareness…?? What is that in us which causes suffering and all kinds of arguments and problems…?? The human mind is a temple, a thing of worship, the portal between this physical life and the divine life or that which is of godliness within us; therefore, to really go beyond our fears, opinions, beliefs, and all ego, is to know ourselves, is to see the sacred in us or that which is untainted. But the mind is filled by us, and this content makes us strong or weak, this content allows us to know ourselves or remain wild animals who ignore their divine origin, and this content gives us access to reason or access to ignorance and violence.

So, all that exists in life is the content of your mind really, because your mind’s content will determine how you see yourself and others, it will tell you what to think about your situation and how to feel about it as well. You will feel bliss or feel pain, you will experience peace or anger, all based on your mind’s content. This means that whatever you go through in life is labeled by your mind’s content as either good or bad, as pleasurable or painful; and so, what you experience then is not your situation in reality but your mind and what it tells you, you follow its labels on the outer situation.

And this is why keeping a mind alert and self-aware at all times is so vital to keep your bliss and happiness–even if you lost someone you love, or if you have a disease, you must remain self-aware and not attached to your suffering/do not ignorantly create suffering for yourself. And you can come up with a thousands excuses for the suffering you are going through right now, but truth is that your mind is making it worse than it is because you are letting it. Life might not be easy, struggles exist for all of us; however, your attention dictates how you feel about your life–if your attention is on problems then you will get more problems.

Three to Divine Love.

Love has been distorted by society, by each person’s ego; it has been made an opinion, a belief, a thing which exists only if the ego is in a good mood–so we have romance, friendship, family, nationalistic, and various sorts of so-called “love.”  But this love of the masses is not eternal but created by man.  Under the heavy and dirty layers of these you find the spiritual love or divinity of God, that which man and woman claim to know but which still is not shown in their actions.  Look at the world.  Look at your society.  Look at your own life.  In 99% of cases, the ego tells people what love is, and people end up suffering for it, and the world ends up suffering for it.

So what is divine love…??  In order to understand divine love, the love of God, one must understand what a soul is.  The spirit is something we all have, it is the substance of energy sustaining our bodies.  But the soul YOU must build, because to have a full soul is tied to morality and ethics; however, we are born only with a soul-seed in order to develop ourselves and grow that seed.  As one grows one must learn to live by higher principles, embodying higher truth and morals in all aspects; most people, as nice as they sound, do not do this, thus their soul is not whole.


Divine love comes to your conscious experience as a delight, always constant and full of wisdom and understanding:

1) (Filial Love) you must accept yourself in all terms, accept your emptiness and work on it, stop seeking pleasures to fill that void.

2) (Agapic Love) you must seek the growth of your true self and stop filling your ego with beliefs, imaginations, pleasures, and knowledge to feel superior over others, and so you have to meditate, pray, be humble and truthful in all you do in order to lessen the hold of your ego.

3) (Erotic or Creative Love) you must transmute your wild impulses and wild desires in order to attend on higher and more creative endeavors of the mind, focus on developing talents and on other things which can help you ascend and get in touch with your true self; because narrow is the gate and the animal cannot walk it, only the human being with a full soul can.

Only following these one can embrace and become full love, build a full soul and raise oneself above the pettiness of a trapped, egoistical, absurd, opportunistic mind.

Authority.

index

 

Jesus fasted, meditated and prayed for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness the scriptures say, and endured many temptations from the devil; and so, with great AWARENESS and faith he did away with all ignorance and wickedness, with all selfishness and blasphemy.  Like this, as the devil would try and force his power over Jesus’s thoughts, feelings, and deeds, he was rejected and immediately vanished from his sight.  How did Jesus do this…??  And better yet, what example did he leave in this…??

46457982_583684935398206_8202112204950994944_n

46480574_583684995398200_2331100578010103808_n

AUTHORITY.  He had authority the devil never had, that is the great power of speech, thought, and feel; however, the devil tempted him, he tempts you, because the devil seeks the weakness in man and woman, he hopes that you ignore the authority you have within you.  The devil hoped Jesus had forgotten his authority through his many hardships, but Jesus never did; and thus, you must seek his example, find YOUR own authority.  The only difference between Jesus’s authority and yours is AWARENESS, self-awareness: Jesus was self-aware all the time, to battle and reject his own temptations, and this gave him great authority.

Are you self-aware and ready to reject temptations in your own wilderness…??  Do you embrace your own authority over challenges and over your own demons…??  Your desires, your anger, your stress, your worries, your pain, your loss—these are your demons, your devil.  Your situations in life are your wilderness.  Authority is the power you must embrace at all times from within you to be free and ascend, to tell the devil to leave you at once, to build your own heaven and leave your example for others to follow–even as Jesus left his example for us to follow.

The Angel of Water.

As the Essenes and Christ himself, I consider the circulation of water in nature to correspond to the circulation of the blood in the body. I personally SEE the face of God in the water and in the food one ingests, as this energy is absorbed in the human system and it becomes you–i.e., it enlightens you or it dumbs you, it heals you or it destroys you.

So it is obvious, the perfection of the organism depends on the quality of the blood (as the quality of the blood is in the water and food), and in like manner the perfection of the physical environment depends upon the quality of the water available.

   

“The Angel of Water.”

The waters in nature are as the blood in the body,

Blood in the body is as healthy as the food I ingest;

For The Angel of Water is in the blood as in the food,

For The Angel of Water is in the most blissful mood.

 

The perfect soul lies in the secret of the waters,

As the very growth of the seed lies in it as well;

Thus in this communion I must practice My Art,

Thus keep a prayer for the strength in my heart.

 

Rivers, rain, sap of trees and plants, and so on;

The Kiss of Life from the angel most high is here.

A shower is the energy of the angel each morning;

The seven-fold blissful rebirth without mourning.

 

Can you really not see The Angel of Water…??

Is your EYE really so atrophied as the dead…??

This angel is the very reflection of life and bliss;

So I tell you the miracle of God and its Light is this.

A simple walk under The Sun/The Son.

45322781_575483192885047_3538486395393802240_n

 

If you were to place a material God, or find a material God, on anything in nature, what would it be…??  Give a face to God, a Material Source you can see and enjoy without religions, without mystical or spiritual knowledge.  Wouldn’t it be The Sun above us…??  Its arms reach us day and night, hot or cold; for certainly you do know that you are alive right now because of its great energy.  You are able to love another in a relationship, to think, to feel, to work, to move at all, due to The Sun’s energy which has been transmuted in you, through you.

It is a material miracle.  A perfect spiritual and physical sphere.  From esoteric mysticism or knowledge we know that The Sun is just as is this planet, The Earth, with four kingdoms or basic creative elements: The sun has fire, water, air, and earth–i.e., it has a mineral, plant, animal and human kingdom.  Now, we must remember that with the fall of Adam and Eve humankind descended, a great involution, into The Third Dimension–i.e., from The Forth to The Third Dimension.  So, of course, our science only sees and studies the physical from the 3-D dimensional level and understanding, so it is obvious that the information they gather of our Sun would be purely physical.

But The Sun is more than a dead, physical planet of simple chemistry, and ancient peoples knew this and is why they worshiped it, and even much of the mystical, spiritual sciences have The Sun as The Great Being of Existence.  And so should we, perhaps not worship it; however, The Sun must become of much importance in our lives, as Physical and Spiritual (life energy) Being.  People seek God and meaning in churches, in relationships, in books; but they miss the very Source of Energy, the Sun/Son which has been given to us since the beginning of time–i.e., as I see it, a source of identity, of life, of love, bliss and freedom.

The Ego.

In spiritual psychology, the term ego refers to STRUCTURES IN THE MIND that trap the Pure Consciousness (Soul, Psyche, Buddha Nature, Jiva, Nephesh).  When our consciousness is trapped, there is no true liberation.  What does this mean…??  It means that our very existence is ruled by impressions of the world, not by our true selves.  It means that there is no freedom to choose, because we are caged inside a program like robots or some computer; and in this program we have been already given certain choices by our ego and its impressions, by our society and its damaging influence, so we must pick from those as we have no choice then.  And it means that with your Pure Consciousness trapped by the ego, you are living, existing in a world/roller coaster of suffering and pleasure; and you are tied to Karmic Forces you cannot control, which means that whatever you do you are not free from the sharp pendulum of suffering and attachment.

You might think you are your ego, because that is all you experience on a daily basis–i.e., choices from your ego, opinions from your ego, knowledge from your ego, love views from your ego, suffering from your ego, add infinitum.  But the truth is that your mind is a holy temple, thieves, merchants and all types of pollution fill its content, like in John 2:13-17: “When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.  In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.  So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s House into a market!”  Jesus was upset that The Sacred Temple of The Father (the human mind) was being polluted and cursed by ignorant merchants (the ego).

The ego is a multiplicity of contradictory psychological elements that we have inside, and are in their sum the “ego.”  Each one is also called “an ego” or an “I.”  Every ego is a psychological defect that produces suffering.  That is why the wise person, The Superior Being in man and woman, seeks to find a stable, reliable, beneficial foundation in their psyche, which is the free, unmodified, Pure Consciousness.
