"Fulfillment"

Decided to share this response to a recent comment.

Anonymous,

With all of its struggle, violence, frustration and disappointments many remain completely satisfied with material life. Although there is a constant undercurrent of unpleasantness, they try to combat this by pursuing some ephemeral "happiness", either for themselves or for others. They work to make a paradise of the physical world, which cannot be done. When introduced to the transfiguristic philosophy, one that states without pretense that we must leave this world to achieve true liberation, their "I" recoils in fear and they either lash out or withdraw. Not all are ready for the Gnosis.

There are countless religions and spiritual movements that claim to have "the answer" when, in reality, they have only a piece of the Truth, or nothing at all. It has been proven that if a group takes a kernel of Truth and wraps complete falsehood around it, people will respond to that muffled kernel of Truth while dismissing all that is false about a movement. By this method, billions are misled daily, living what they believe to be pious lives. In fact, they are being led straight to the reflection-sphere by these religious brotherhoods. They die without an inkling of how far away from the Truth they really were.

Our mankind is but one of myriads of mankinds inhabiting myriads of galaxies populating myriads of universes. With the exception of a very few, most of these entities, no matter how highly evolved are fallen entities, struggling to escape this fallen realm, the Seventh Cosmic Domain, but not knowing how.

It is not money, per se, that rules the world. It is the selfish desire of humans to acquire happiness and comfort for themselves in whatever way possible. The root of evil in this world is S-E-L-F-I-S-H-N-E-S-S.

i avoid personal focus, but will try to answer your final questions as briefly and succinctly as possible. Yes, i have a job, children, earthly obligations and responsibilities. These are things that must be attended to. The time of the hermit who escapes humanity by living in a cave is long past. We who are of the Gnosis must live among the people, always remembering to be in the world but not of the world.

No matter what earthly task we are engaged in, as long as we keep the knowledge that we have an opened Rose of the Heart and a firm link with the Universal Gnostic Chain, we can remain free. We work, as we must, but as soon as an earthly task is completed, our thoughts should turn back to things of the Spirit, thoughts of the Gnosis.

The School makes very few demands of its pupils. Vegetarianism, no drugs, no nicotine, no alcohol. A celibate lifestyle is requested, but not demanded. True pupils will follow those basic requirements freely, as they will realize that the New Soul cannot be born if we are polluting the physical, astral and mental bodies at the same time. These habits of behavior will only bring harm to the pupil, as their effects will not mesh well with those of the purifying Gnostic radiations.

No one is forced to attend any of the conferences, lectures or meetings that are offered by the School. Everything about the Path entails a voluntary effort by the pupil to do that which is needful. He or she cannot and will not be forced. Liberation is in their hands. The School simply provides the necessary insight and the power-field to assist in the Great Work.

A "fulfilling" life is not the aim of a serious pupil, as we know that no happiness can be found on the earth-plane. Our joy lies in the knowledge that we have found at last, within this incarnation, the Golden Thread that will lead us away from this earthly vale of tears and back to the Divine Kingdom, back to our Original Home.
