Introduction
Recently we were listening to in
class a recording on CD of an informal talk that master Samael gave. The talk
has been given the title “Call to Order”.
Among many things Master Samael
talked about in this talk are five very interesting states of the
self-realisation. He does mention them in his books, however according to my
knowledge what is in his books isn’t the same as what he says in this
recording.
This post is about presenting what
Master Samael said in that recording about eh five stages of self-realisation.
Five Stages
Master Samael says that there are
five broad stages in the full unfolding of the self-realisation. They are:
1. Creation
of the Psychological Moon
2. Creation
of the Psychological Solar System (planetary man)
3. Creation
of the Psychological Sun (Solar Man)
4. Creation
of the Psychological Galaxy (Galactic Man)
5. Creation
of the Psychological Infinite (Infinite Man)
1. Creation of the Psychological Moon
The first thing that we have to
create Master says is the psychological moon or the permanent centre of
gravity. He says that to create this we have to dissolve (or at least work on
them until they are very much weaker or consciously under control) jealousy,
presumptuousness, pre-occupation, conceitedness etc.
The interesting thing is that all
of these egos are to do with pride. This is because pride does not allow us to
understand that our essence is our true identity, and if we do not understand
that our essence is our true identity we can not apply really truly the
non-identification with the ego, that is because we only know ourselves as the
ego and so we do not have anything to contrast with.
Lunar Influence and the Psychological Moon
The Moon has a tremendous
influence over our psychology and our psychology. The way to cure ourselves of
this lunar influence which is engrained in our very psychological is by
creating the psychological moon and the homeopathic remedy applies here where
“like cures like”.
The psychological moon makes one
immune to the influence of the Moon over our psychology. Our psychology is
lunar in nature and so it very easily aligns or vibrates with the Moon. When we
create the psychological moon we actually make the egos that are predominantly
lunar to be isolated or satellited in our psychology, leaving our essence to be
main feature or central point of our psychology. The lunar egos become like the
Moon, that is a satellite and the essence becomes like the earth, the main
feature, or feature that is in control of our psychological processes.
Seminal Pearl is not the Psychological Moon
The psychological moon is strictly
not the seminal pearl. It could be though or it may not be, it all just
depends.
If the seminal pearl is strong
enough to isolate the ego then that is enough. If the seminal pearl is not
strong enough to isolate the essence from the ego then it is not the
psychological moon. Certainly though to create the psychological moon we have
to dissolve parts of the egos that master Samael mentioned and other egos as
well and in doing this we create the seminal pearl, because the seminal pearl
is made up of the atoms of the essence freed from the ego. However, in some
cases the seminal pearl may not contain enough essence to be able to
effectively isolate the ego from the essence.
2. Creation of the Psychological Solar System
The creation of the psychological
solar system is complete when we have created the solar bodies. That is the solar
astral, mental and causal bodies.
If a person is a fallen
bodhisattva that creation has been made and so what is needed still is to
restore the psychological connection to these bodies and this done with the
kundalini and the major initiations of the first mountain.
Planetary Man and Human Soul
One at this stage is also a
planetary man, meaning that such a person can live in any planet of the solar
system. This is earnt at the end of the first mountain, and it is when the
human soul has been incarnated.
3. Creation of the Psychological Sun
This is completed in the years of
Job (after the seventh year) where all the bodies are purified and covered in
gold.
In the second mountain in the
labours of Hercules the master also frees him or herself from the planets
(remember each labour is about eliminating the egos related to the abyss of the
various planets) and so passes beyond the planets to be ruled by the sun, which
is also the Christ. In fact, at the end of the second mountain is where the
Christ after His resurrection, is fully restored in the master.
4. Creation of the Psychological Galaxy
Perhaps in the third mountain or
after is when the resurrected master creates the psychological galaxy.
This is very interesting because
being psychological as in ‘psychological galaxy” the resurrected master has his
or her processes inline with galactic perspectives and principles. One then has
a galactic psychology or way of thinking.
5. Creation of the Psychological Infinite
Later on, after the creation of the
psychological galaxy one has to create the psychological infinite. Meaning that
all of one’s psychological processes, are in accordance with the principles,
perspectives and laws of the infinite.
Once one has created the
psychological infinite or has become an infinite man, one can enter the
absolute or create another infinite within oneself and thus enter another
infinite.
End (68).
