Gnostic Exegesis ~ come fly

The idea of water cannot save a man dying of thirst. A belief in the existence of water cannot save him.
He needs to drink the water. This is to experience it practically. This is cognizant knowledge, Gnosis.
He needs the Gnosis of the water. He needs to drink it himself.

Ephesians 6
1 Children (chelas, disciples), obey your (inner, divine) parents in the Lord: for this is right (virtuous).

2 Honour thy (Divine) Father and (Divine) Mother (in each thought, word, and deed); which is the first commandment with promise;

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth (physical body, which you need to advance in the Great Work).

4 And, ye fathers (spiritual leaders), provoke not your children (students) to wrath (with your ego): but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (the Being; teach them to first serve their own Innermost).

5 Servants (of humanity), be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers (appearing to serve, but not with your heart); but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 With good (conscious) will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: (do all service as if it were for your own Innermost)

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. (because Karma is indeed infallible)

9 And, ye masters (of Major Mysteries), do the same things (of selfless service) unto them (who follow after you), forbearing threatening (do not threaten or use fear): knowing that your (Inner) Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord (the revolutionary Christ), and in the power of his might (Aun).

11 Put on the whole armour of God (the Solar Bodies), that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (who is within you).

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against (inner) principalities, against (our own egotistical) powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this (psychological) world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth (in perfect chastity), and having on the breastplate of righteousness (with a clean and robust heart);

15 And your feet (your marriage) shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace (the Fifth Gospel, the gospel of Alchemy);

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith (direct experience), wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts (criticisms and gossip) of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation (the illuminated pineal gland), and the sword of the Spirit (your tongue), which is the word of God (the profound teachings which you spread with your Word):

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and (consciously) watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel (without fear, without reserve, but with great compassion for all mankind, and in accordance with the instructions given by the Christ himself),

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus (The Role Model) Christ (who dwells within and without) in sincerity. Amen.

Take, O Lord and receive my entire liberty,
My memory, my understanding and my whole will.
All that I am and all that I possess
You have given me:
I surrender it all to you
To be disposed of according to Your will.
Give me only Your love and Your grace;
With these I will be rich enough,
And will desire nothing more.

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it."

Gnosis

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language defines it as

Intuitive apprehension of spiritual truths,
an esoteric form of knowledge sought by the Gnostics.

ETYMOLOGY: Greek gnsis, knowledge, from gignskein, to know.

~In Century the Twentieth some disciple more informed, and far better fitted, may be sent by the Masters of Wisdom to give final and irrefutable proofs that there exists a Science called Gupta-Vidya; and that, like the once- mysterious sources of the Nile, the source of all religions and philosophies now known to the world has been for many ages forgotten and lost to men, but is at last found.
- H.P.Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine (1888)

The aims and purposes of this knowledge that today reappears outside of dogmas, of false spirituality and the pseudo-schools that have unfortunately become places of business, are expressed by the Master Samael in the following words:

~We don't want idolizers of masters, nor are we interested in followers. We are signposts, so don't become attached to us because our labor is not one of proselytizing. With logical thought and exact concept we point out the path to follow so that anyone may reach their Inner Master, the one who dwells in silence within each of you.

We inform you that wisdom belongs to the Innermost and that the virtues and spiritual gifts are not a matter of poses or of feigned meekness, but they are tremendous realities that turn us into powerful and gigantic oaks so that against our strong personality the blustery winds of thought, the threats of the tenebrous, the envy of tyrants and the abuse of the evil are dashed to pieces.

This course is for all of the rebels of all schools; for those who don't compromise themselves for schoolmasters; for those of all belief systems who don’t conform; for those who still have some courage and a spark of love left in their hearts.

We're not interested in anyone's money or excited by monthly fees or halls of brick and mortar because we are conscious attendants of the Cathedral of the Soul and we know that wisdom and money don't go together…

We are not in search of followers, we only want that each person follows himself, his own Inner Master, his sacred Innermost, because that Innermost is the only one that can save us and glorify us…We don't want more comedies or farces or false mysticism and false schools. We want living realities now, to prepare ourselves in order to see, hear and touch the reality of those truths. We grasp the sword of the will in order to break all of the chains of the world and throw ourselves intrepidly into the tremendous battle for liberation, because we know that salvation is within the human being...~



~Meditation is the esoteric discipline of the Gnostics.

Meditation has three phases: concentration, meditation and samadhi.

Concentration means to fix the mind on one single thing. Meditation means to reflect on the essential contents of that thing itself. Samadhi is ecstasy or rapture.

A master of samadhi enters all planes of consciousness, with the Dangma eye he examines all the secrets of the wisdom of the Fire...

The disciple, lying on his bed with his hands crossed over his chest, will meditate deeply on the physical body, saying to himself, “I am not this physical body.”

Then the disciple will meditate deeply on his etheric body, saying to himself, “I am not this etheric body.”

Then, immersed in profound internal meditation, the disciple will reflect on his astral body and will say, “I am not this astral body.”

Now the disciple will meditate on his mental body, and will say to himself, “Neither am I this mind with which I’m thinking.

Then the disciple will reflect on his Will Power, and he will say to himself, “Neither am I this body of the will.”

Now the disciple will meditate on his Consciousness and will say to himself, “I am not this Consciousness, either.”

Now, finally, immersed in deep meditation, the disciple will exclaim with his heart, "I am the Innermost! I am the Innermost! I am the Innermost!"...

Concentration, meditation and Samadhi are the three obligatory paths for the Initiation.

Attention is first of all fixed on the body with which we want to practice. Then, we meditate on its internal constitution, and filled with mystical joy we say: “I am not this body.”

Concentration, meditation and Samadhi must be practiced on each body...~



~Gnostics should practice meditation at least four to six hours daily; practicing in the morning, in the afternoon and almost all night, until dawn… This should be done all one’s life, and, if you do this, you will live a deep life and you will Self-realize.

Not doing this, you will live a superficial, empty life, an habitual life, something like, we could say, a shallow puddle. We know very well that a puddle at the edge of the road and under the sun’s rays, and all that’s left is the muck. Deep lakes full of fish and life are very different. So we must learn to live deeply, and this is achieved with meditation.~

(Samael Aun Weor, Las Respuestas Que Dio Un Lama)






"...there is every reason to believe that all so-called secret schools of the ancient world were branches from one philosophic tree which, with its root in heaven and its branches on the earth, is--like the spirit of man--an invisible but ever-present cause of the objectified vehicles that give it expression. The Mysteries were the channels through which this one philosophic light was disseminated, and their initiates, resplendent with intellectual and spiritual understanding, were the perfect fruitage of the divine tree, bearing witness before the material world of the recondite source of all Light and Truth." - Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages (1928)


Gnosis has been expressed by all the world’s great saints and enlightened souls, each with their own words and voice.

"All religions are precious pearls strung on the golden thread of divinity." - Samael Aun Weor



All religious forms are manifestations of the great Cosmic Universal Infinite Religion latent in every atom of the Cosmos.

There is Gnosis in the Buddhist doctrine, in the Tantric Buddhism from Tibet, in the Zen Buddhism from Japan, in the Ch’an Buddhism of China, in Sufism, in the Whirling Dervishes, in the Egyptian, Persian, Chaldean, Pythagorean, Greek, Aztec, Mayan, Inca, etc., wisdom.

We teach the synthesis of all religions, schools, orders, lodges and beliefs. Our doctrine is the Doctrine of the Synthesis.
- Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony


~The golden door of wisdom can transform itself into the wide door and broad path which leads to destruction, the door of magical arts practiced with egotistical ends. We are in the Age of Kali-Yuga, the Iron Age, the Black Age, and all the students of occultism are predisposed to becoming lost in the black path. It is astonishing to see the mistaken concept held by the "little brothers" regarding occultism and the ease with which they believe they can reach the door and cross the threshold of mystery without great sacrifice.~

All religions are precious stones strung on the golden thread of Divinity.

All religions conserve the eternal values. False religions do not exist.

All religions are necessary; all religions fulfill their mission in life.

It is absurd to state that our neighbor’s religion is useless and that only ours is authentic. If the neighbor’s religion is not good then my religion is not good either because the values are always the same.

Much better than the first one that got a little carried away with themeselves with their anti-christian movement, I can't blame them, they aren't Gnostic but maybe one day huh....

This one is very positive in the end with only a hint of the atheistic belief that the makers of this movie obviously has.

We really are all one, the answer is through each one of us and this movie shows some very good solutions.

The four Gospels insist on the necessity of awakening, but disgracefully, people suppose that they have already awakened.

These type of people call themselves (so to speak) “seers.” They become very dangerous because they project their dreams, hallucination... read more

Rumi


Beyond our ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn't make sense any more
~ Jelaluddin Rumi


“The Dark thought, the shame, the malice - meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”
- Rumi



Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world.
The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade,
But do not be disheartened,
The source they come from is eternal, growing,
Branching out, giving new life and new joy.
Why do you weep?
The source is within you,
And this whole world is springing up from it.
The source is full,
And its waters are ever-flowing.
Do not grieve, drink your fill.
Don’t think it will ever run dry, this is the endless ocean.
From the moment you came into this world,
A ladder was placed in front of you,
That you might transcend it.
From earth, you became plant,
From plant you became animal,
Afterwards you became a human being,
Endowed with knowledge, intellect and faith.
Behold the body, born of dust, how perfect it has become.
Why should you fear its end?
When were you ever made less by dying?
When you pass beyond this human form,
No doubt you will become an angel and soar through the heavens,
But don’t stop there, even heavenly bodies grow old.
Pass again from the heavenly realm and
Plunge, plunge into the vast ocean of consciousness,
Let the drop of water that is you become a hundred mighty seas.
But do not think that the drop alone becomes the ocean.
The ocean, too, becomes the drop.




Those who don't feel this LOVE pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
let them sleep.
This love
is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on.
I've given up on my brain, I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
and sleep......


~Islam~
Let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till God give them independence by His grace. - Qur'an 24.33

Neither fornicate, for whosoever does that shall meet the price of sin--doubled shall be the chastisement for him on the Resurrection Day. - Qur'an 25.68-69

Just as in every world tradition, there is a heart teaching or esoteric aspect of Islam. The most widely known is the Sufi tradition, and the brilliant mystical poet Rumi.

Let the body needs dwindle and the souls decisions increase.
Diminish what you give your physical self.
Your spiritual eye will open.

[...]

Listen to the prophets, not to some adolescent boy.
The foundation and the walls of the spiritual life
are made of self-denials and disciplines.
-Rumi, Muhammed and the Huge Eater

I have understood this body of mine to be the product of ignorance, composed of flesh and blood and lit up by the perceptive power of consciousness. To those fortunate ones who long for emancipation it may be the great vessel by which they may procure Freedom. But to the unfortunates who only sin, it may be the guide to lower and miserable states of existence. This our life is the boundary mark whence one may take an upward or downward path. Our present time is a most precious time, wherein each of us must decide, in one way or other, for lasting good or lasting ill.
