On Studying Hylozoics
What Hylozoics is. (The Way of Man, 1.44)
(1.44.1) Hylozoics is the only logically tenable world view, the only one acknowledged by esoteric science. It is the conception of reality that is common to all causal selves.
(1.44.2) Pythagoras, then a 46-self (essential self), was the first one to present hylozoics and to formulate it into a conceptual system, a mental system of knowledge. Pythagoras, now a 44-self, is the future world-teacher after Maitreya. His intention with his formulation of hylozoics was to lay the foundation of a mental world view and life view in agreement with reality; a tenable basis for mankind to build on in its research; a basis of necessary facts.
Meaning and Goal of Life
The Meaning and Goal of Life. (The Way of Man)
(1.36.1) The meaning of life is the consciousness development of the monads in the consciousness of ever higher kinds of matter of ever higher natural kingdoms. The goal of life is the omniscience and omnipotence of all monads in the whole cosmos.
(1.36.2) The monad develops through learning from its own experiences and reaping what it has sown in previous incarnations. Everything good and evil that the individual meets with is his own doing. Nothing can befall him that he has not himself merited. Injustice in any respect whatsoever is absolutely precluded. The saying “life is unjust” is a manner of speech of the ignorant of life and envious.
(1.36.3) In monads of repulsive basic tendency, development can take a wrong course, which appears already in parasitism of plants and in predacity of animals. In the lower kingdoms the monads by and large counteract development, disarranging the order of things, everything on their own responsibility. Unconscious and, to a still higher degree, conscious encroachment upon the monad’s inalienable, inviolable, divine freedom, limited by the equal right of all living beings, results in the struggle for existence and the cruelty of life.
On the process of Manifestation
The Great Process of Manifestation
(The Way of Man) 1.26 Manifestation
(1.26.1) What has of old been called “creation” is not one single act of creation but a continuous process, which in esoterics is called the “great process of manifestation”.
(1.26.2) The whole cosmos makes up one single continuous process of manifestation in which all monads participate with their consciousness expressions, unconsciously or consciously, involuntarily or voluntarily. The higher the world and kingdom the monad has attained, the higher the kind of consciousness it has acquired, the more the monad contributes to the process of manifestation.
Easter. Gnostic Symbols.
Knowledge of Life One. Easter.
(3.8.1) Easter was intended to symbolize the passing of the causal self from the causal world to the essential world, his joining in the lowest collective of the planetary hierarchy, his entry into the fifth natural kingdom. The incarnation in which this transition is made has been regarded as the hardest of them all and for that reason (although wrongly) has been called the “incarnation of suffering”. The newborn essential self (who has acquired an envelope of the matter of the essential world) can very rightly say like Lohengrin: “I do not come from pain and darkness. From light and bliss I here arrived.” Nobody believes him, however, and scorn, mocking and rejection is all he will receive.
Consciousness Expansion. Activation of Consciousness.
Consciousness Expansion. By Lars Adelskoh.
(What is the meaning of the Octahedron?) The sacred syllable AUM also explains the sequence and order in which the factors of consciousness activation appear, that is to say: motion, energy, comes first; then consciousness, and last the perception of forms.
This means that in every consciousness expansion - major or minor and irrespective of the natural kingdom concerned - the monad does not apprehend at once all three aspects of the new domain of reality in which it expands its consciousness, but always first the motion aspect, then the consciousness aspect, and last the matter aspect.
Christmas. Gnostic Symbols.
Knowledge of Life One. Gnostic Symbols.
(3.1.3) The entire New Testament is a compilation of these gnostic sayings. The gnostic authors of the gospels tried to popularize and in the form of novels to dramatize the gnostic symbols without betraying their true import.
Concentration, Meditation, Contemplation
Concentration. Meditation. Contemplation. By Lars Adelskogh.
Fundamentals of LT4: (5.1) Concentration is the ability of the monad to direct its attention. Meditation is the ability of the monad to direct its attention continuously. Contemplation is the ability of the monad to direct its attention continuously and to simultaneously move its waking consciousness to a higher envelope.
