Pymander II

[QUOTING]

As the radiations of the Seven-Spirit descend into the heart, they meet the proto-atom, the Rose, which contains the structure of lines-of-force of the True Man, the latent spiritual principle. As soon as the rays of the Seven-Spirit touch the reborn soul, the Rose is awakened to life.

If you have a plan regarding a given object, this will give rise to a structure of lines-of-force in your astral body. If someone then asks you to tell him about your plan, you will look, eyes turned inwardly as it were, into that structure and describe the plan. You will trace all the lines-of-force and the image will become visible to your audience.

The same applies to the proto-atom, the Rose of the Heart, which contains the image of the True Man. This image can be awakened and take shape only if the Seven-Spirit can act within you by means of the matured soul.

If we look at this activity from the point-of-view of the head sanctuary, the radiations of the Seven-Spirit acting on the seven cerebral cavities form Pymander; seen from the heart sanctuary they form the Spirit-Soul,  the structure of lines-of-force of the True Man. This Pymandric man, this structure of lines-of-force which is within us and urges us on, raises us out of the animal state into the world of the Living Soul state. It places the microcosm in a new Reality and under a new Law. Those who have thus been baptised and purified in the power of the Spirit, will achieve a perfect human existence and particpate in the Gnosis, the living Knowledge of God. They will acquire a new state of consciousness, in which Knowledge is an absolute faculty.

Dualistic knowledge is likewise a consequence of a faculty. In the dualistical, animal state, the ability to think exists and by means of it knowledge is acquired; disjoint, fragmented, relative knowledge. However, if the Pymandric state predominates, absolute Knowledge becomes a faculty. Then one will not acquire knowledge by means of intellectual training, but Knowledge will be an essential part of the personality. The opposite development is described in Hermes as follows:

"However, those who have sinned against the Proclamation* by not listening to it, remain within the limits of reason, as they have not received the powers of the Spirit and do not know why they were created, nor by whom. The sensorial perceptions of such human beings are almost equal to those of irrational animals, and as their nature is a mixture of passions, they have no admiration for what is worthy of reflection and contemplation; they devote themselves to their bodily pleasures and desires and believe that man has come into being for such things. However, those who have partaken of God's gift are no longer mortals, as proved by all their deeds, but Divine men who understand with their Spirit-Soul all that is on earth, in heaven and perhaps, above heaven. Having beheld The Good, those who have raised themselves in this way have learned to consider their sojourn here on earth as a disaster. They repudiate all things corporeal and incorporeal to reach the One and Only."

[END QUOTING]

* The Proclamation:

God imparted reason to all men, but not the Spirit. It was His will that the link with the Spirit should be obtained by all souls, however, as a prize for the race.

He sent down a great Mixing Vessel, filled with the powers of the Spirit and He appointed a herald and bade him proclaim to the hearts of men:

"Immerse yourselves in this Mixing vessel, you souls who can; you who believe and trust that you will ascend to Him who sent down this Vessel; you who know for what purpose you were created".

It is said that the seed contains within it all that is required for it to grow to a majestic maturity. A tree doesn't grow because of something outside of it. The instructions and attributes needed for it to grow and fulfill its tree-destiny are already embedded within the seed.

So it is with the proto-atom, the Rose of the Heart, the Divine Spark. This sleeping atom contains within it all of the lines-of-force necessary to bring forth the True Man. The image of a Divine Possibility lies within. That is why we are called image-bearers; because we carry within our hearts the Divine Atom containing the lines-of-force, the image of the Divine Man.

The tree needs water and sunlight. The child requires food, water, love and guidance. The Coming New Man enters the process of soul-rebirth when the Seven-Spirit begins to water the Rose of the Heart..

This is the gnostic meaning behind the parable of the Mustard Seed.

The Pearl Of Great Price

Tribulations, pole shifts, mass landings of spaceships, electro-magnetic pulses, nuclear war, photon belts, "ascension". These are the things that have been associated with the coming end of the Age. For the most part, people are looking for ways preserve themselves and to somehow survive whatever catastrophe is coming.

Six years ago, this writer started this blog in a search for answers. What could we expect? What should we do to prepare? Could we survive what was on the horizon? All sources were examined. Comparisons were made. Scenarios were presented. All was investigation. All was speculation. For indeed, how could one really know?

Well, a funny thing happened on the way to the Pole Shift. This writer discovered the Gnosis. His spirit-spark was ignited. It turns out that the events of these times are not unique, they are cyclical. This is not the first time that mankind has faced a New Beginning, only the latest. Not only was the end of the Age a cyclical occurrence, but a necessary cleansing, as well. Whenever the human condition becomes too polluted, it must be dissolved, re-cycled and started afresh in a new Day of Manifestation.

Why does the human condition become polluted? It is due to wrong-thinking, wrong-feeling and the erroneous use of the will by humanity. When man chooses to go against the fundamental designs of the Logos, when man chooses to not seek the Gnosis, that man, as a personality, will be erased from the microcosm so that the microcosm can generate a new personality. This is the reason for physical death. Why? Because the microcosm is driven to seek and find the Pearl Of Great Price. That "pearl" is the spirit-spark atom that resides in the upper right ventricle of the heart. This divine spark must be awakened so that the True Heavenly Man can be re-born. Beginning this process is the absolute one goal of humanity. It is the reason for why we are here.

The End of the Age and the phenomena surrounding it cannot be stopped. The earth and her inhabitants will be re-cycled. What is important is that we become aware of our True Purpose before the trumpet sounds. If we are successful, we can join the Remnant that is now assembling on the shore. These ones will be brought to safety. This is so because it has always been so.

If we as personalities do not begin walking the Path now, another will have to take our place in order to do it at some far-distant, future time. There is no avoiding this. It is the One Purpose of human manifestation.

This is why the focus of this blog changed so radically a couple of years ago. The search for answers had turned up the Gnosis. Once known, all other natural speculations were answered. All else pales in comparison. The words of the parable finally make sense:

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like the merchant who was seeking good pearls. And when he had found one costly pearl, he went and sold everything he had, and bought it" Matthew 13 : 45-46

Seek first the Gnosis, the spirit-spark within, and all else will be added unto you.
