Break-In

[QUOTING]

Before we can deal with the central issue of our discussions, we must emphasize that the problem of the New Way of Life only applies to those who are Soul-born and who, with a pure heart, have established the link between the new Soul-forces and the intellectual brain consciousness, and in this way are in control of it. Without this control it is not yet possible to strive for astral purity and it will not be possible for the pupil to withdraw from evil and follow the Only Good. The circulation of gnostic Light-forces in the candidate's system must first be ensured. That is the central issue of every truly gnostic development.

The foundation must be a life of earnest striving and yearning for liberation. When we become genuinely seeking people , our thoughts result in an astral activity. It is impossible to yearn for the Gnosis without a corresponding effect on your thoughts. If a genuinely seeking longing is present in you, the resulting mental activity will in turn give rise to an astral activity in your system, which will be manifested outwardly as well as inwardly. When a New Power has been ignited in the astral field of the human system, a light is produced which radiates inwards as well as outwards. In the midst of the microcosm a fiery tension develops, a light-field in keeping with the desires of the pupil , this light-field extracts and assimilates gnostic light-power.

So if a pupil perseveres in his yearning and striving, in spite of all the unavoidable hindrances, the concentrated light-power will touch the center of the heart sanctuary; it will break through into the heart sanctuary and mingle with the blood. The blood, now charged in this way, then flows through the brain and influences various centers in the head sanctuary, including a number of latent ones. What matters now is whether the brain system with its various centers will be able to react to this intervention, to the gnostic influences introduced into it by the blood. If it can, then a new kind of thinking will come into being in the head sanctuary. This new development of the intellectual brain consciousness will in turn influence the astral body.

This is how the astral body is purified. You can only purify the astral body through a new thinking born of the blood. Then, new astral forces are liberated, which then differentiate into the four pure ethers, the four holy foods. These ethers affect the etheric body and go out to all the organs and fluids in the physical body that make us  live and act, until finally, they are manifested once more in the blood.

That is how the circulation comes about. The process begins in the blood, is manifested in the mentality, then in the astral body, then in the etheric body, and then again in the physical sheath and in the blood. Thus, as a result of this new ensoulment, the Gnosis gains control over the pupil's entire system. If this tenfold process has been brought about by a way of life orientated towards it, it will be possible to maintain this way of life without the need to force anything. When the circulation of gnostic light-forces, which the ancient Chinese Gnosis called 'the retrograde movement', has been born in the system, you will have not the slightest difficulty in preserving the gnostic Way of Life.

[END QUOTING]

Once a candidate begins to sincerely and consistently seeks liberation from matter, he or she will attract gnostic light-forces. Not the false light-power of the aeons, which are of this world, but the divine light-power that originates in the Sixth Cosmic Domain.

The reason for this is simple. Like attracts like. Thoughts of escaping this nature-order are diametrically-opposed to the thoughts one has if one is thoroughly content with this nature-order.  Thoughts of liberation from matter vibrate differently than those of the common nature-born person. They act as a beacon, seeking a like vibration, which can be found in the divine light-forces of The Sixth.

The Gnosis, this Divine vibration, then "breaks into the system" as it were. It enters via the heart sanctuary and instantly begins to infuse the blood with its electromagnetic power. We know that all blood passes through the heart on its way to different regions of the body. Thus it stands to reason that the blood will carry this New Vibration throughout the human system, starting with the head sanctuary.

Nature-born man is completely subservient to the aeonic forces that control the physical realm. As such, the microcosm, which is a magnetic system, will only attract those impressions that agree with this nature-order. In order to attract the Light-force that will be needed to purify the microcosm and enable the birth of the New Soul, the candidate must change his or her thinking and begin longing for that which is not-of-this-world. If one can persevere in developing this yearning, it is a cosmic fact that one will attract the forces of the Gnosis into the system and partake of the benefits derived therefrom.

A warning to those who dare. You must be sincere. God will not be mocked. To accept the Gnosis without the intent to do all that is necessary to advance on the Path and complete The Great Work may result in a burning of the astral vehicle. One must sincerely count the cost before taking that first step on the Path. The question to be asked: "am I prepared to leave everything of this nature-order behind, both good and bad, and not turn back, for any reason?".

If the answer to that question is a firm 'yes', then you are ready.
