The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit

-

A very interesting and potent text, one that I will likely have to come back and work with thoroughly to decode. Jesus came through right from the start and said:  

 "this is a very important text"

When I was finished my read, he said: "this text contains all sorts of occult and holy mysteries, but can only be understood by those purified." 

In response, I asked him how to purify oneself in order to understand the text and he replied: "Make offerings to me and I will help you through the process."

Jesus taking a personal interest in the text, led me to ask him if this was directly related to his mysteries.....but he said: "No"  

I'll return at a later time, I know there are profound mysteries here.....but it's difficult to parse. Additionally, I've previously heard about the Sethian spiritual current, but this is the 1st time they've been mentioned so far in Marvin Meyer's edition. I imagine the "Sethian Story" will unfold as I continue. 

One small frustration I have with the Nag.....many of these chapters appear to be the same creation story.....but approached from other perspectives......not getting fresh lore....sigh. 

Without a doubt, my favorite quote is the "Baptismal Hymn".....but it's too long to post here in entirety, as a result, I'll post my favorite section: 

"Having known, you, 
I have now mingled with your constancy. 
I have armed myself with the armor of light. 
I have become bright. 
The mother was there for the lovely beauty of grace. 
So I have stretched out my two hands. 
I have been formed in the circle of the riches of light 
in my breast, 
giving form to the many beings
produced in light beyond reproach. 
In truth I shall declare your glory, 
I have comprehended you: 
yours, Jesus; 
look, 
Forever O
Forever E 
O Jesus 
O aeon, aeon,
God of silence, 
I honor you completely 
You are my place of rest, 
Child 
ES ES 
the E
formless one existing among formless ones, 
raising the person by whom you will purify me into your life, 
according to your imperishable name. 
So the sweet smell of life is within me. 
I have mixed it with water as a model for all the rulers, 
that I may live with you in the peace of the saints, 
you who exist forever, 
in truth truly."

Some time ago, I was doing landscaping work with a buddy of mine. All day we stood in the heat, pulling weeds from the ground, struggling with gigantic root systems. The owner left the yard unmaintained for a year......and mother nature reclaimed the land.  Anyways....there I was....shovel and glove....struggling to pull these cantankerous life-forms from the dirt and they were resisting with all there might. Stabbing, straining there roots.....they refused to yield. Here we are, human beings, at the peak of the food chain and ruling earth.....yet still struggling with fucking weeds!  It was an impressive lesson....as Malcom would say......"life finds a way". Mother nature's tenacity to "fight" and will to "survive" is extraordinary. Naturally, this is not something only in weeds......but in all species. The Martial Way is deep and extreme......this tenacity.....this will to live exemplified by the weeds, is an important "attitude" for both i...

I haven't written on this topic in awhile, but my exploration of EB energetics continues. It's been a struggle grounding the romantic sphere of my life due to Sorcery and Asceticism. Constant training leads to continuous transformation and thus energetic shifts, which cause friendships to fall apart. I'm off the opinion that this falling away is inevitable. To maintain long-term relations, would require a "settling down" into a stable relational framework and given my addiction to internal training....I don't think that is an option....but I could be wrong.  I'm a cultivator at heart....but still have physical yearnings and internal training doesn't exactly cancel out your sex drive.....rather the opposite. In the spirit of trying to optimize relations and "figure out" a useful framework, I've been toying around with a few tricks and filters:  Metric-1, Female Intent.....when it comes to navigating the feminine domain, I've found ther...

Golden Death Rattle

Yesterday, I had a profound and torturous release. Laying in bed last night....internally.....my body started to vibrate.....only the intensity of this internal earthquake was beyond anything I'd ever felt before, Imagine a rip start lawn mower, that you try to pull 10k times but it won't start......then when you do finally get it on.....the force of all 10k "pulls" gets released simultaneosly. The vibrations were intense....to the point I thought I might explode and die.  The internal earthquake lasted about 10 minutes at peak intensity and I had to go outside and put my feet and hands to the ground to diffuse some of the power and stabilize my system. Suffice to say, this was a terrifying event and the most powerful psi phenomena I've ever experienced.  For those unaware, the last few years I've been ill and doing everything I can to heal. Cultivators rarely get sick.....but when karmic energies come up....no one is left unscathed. Suffice to say, this was a...
