The Dangerous Path to Gnosis
Gnosis is a very tricky topic.
Just when you think you’ve got your hands on the most profound piece of information that literally rocks you to your core, makes the Earth shake, and runs goosebumps down your spine, the serpent steps in and shoots impulses into your brain.
These impulses are like orgasms, in that the brain likes the sensation and wants to experience more of it.
And then, before you know it, you’re *addicted* to the quest for knowledge.
But there is something most people haven’t uncovered on their journey *prior* to digesting profound information, which causes them to become fixated on this very act.
After all, The Age of Aquarius IS the Age of Information and we’re bound to see the imbalances within man.
The Honeymoon Phase
Just think about the beginning of a new relationship where (like, Depeche Mode) you “just can’t get enough.”
I believe most of us refer to this as the “Honeymoon Phase.”
You know what I’m talking about… the f&#cking like rabbits phase.
Well, the same is true when you acquire information. It sends the SAME exact sensation to the brain and the brain gets “horny”.
It wants to keep experiencing impulsive orgasms over and over again.
So what does it do?
It starts fixated on researching and trying to prove others wrong, until it becomes the brain’s new favorite past time.
It just can’t wait to get its next fix.
But I want to share something with you today that is going to hopefully make you think about what’s really happening during this ‘orgasmic honeymoon phase’ — and I might add, a phase that the majority of people gathering knowledge NEVER escape.
They stay in the “Honeymoon Phase” forever.
They get the impulse, the brain receives the sensation, and they’re hooked.
Psychological Entrapment
But behind closed doors, what’s taking place is psychological entrapment.
Most students of the Occult who get lured in with a deep desire to KNOW the Truth, which leads to the Honeymoon Phase and where many become co-dependent on the “relationship”.
The relationship between information and the quest for Truth.
But ultimately, the relationship never progresses to the next level; it never experiences true commitment; it doesn’t show respect to the acquired knowledge, and it only feels good when the sensations kick in.
This ultimately, creates a blindspot.
This blindspot is the result of the Ego.
The more fixated the person becomes on acquiring the information, the more inflated the ego becomes.
But what is information and why does the Ego become so consumed by it?
Isn’t this newfound knowledge suppose to elevate us in consciousness?
Isn’t it expanding our awareness?
Isn’t it helping us to grow?
To see the Truth?
Yes…. and NO.
The longer I study the occult, the more revealing it becomes. It’s a layered onion and at its core is PURITY.
Da’ath
Purity is a process that leads to True Gnosis, not egoic Gnosis.
And yes, there are two paths.
If you’re a student of Qabalah, I hope I can expand your inner-standing on what Gnosis is and I will use the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge to illustrate it.
Firstly, the quest for knowledge begins in Da’ath, the phantom sphere that exists in the Throat Chakra on the Tree of Life. This is very important because it has to do with The Word.
Your word is POWER.
Yet, what most people don’t know is the power of Word can bite you in the ass. It can consume you and ultimately, eats away at your PURITY when used incorrectly.
When you enter Da’ath, you are entering into the Tree of Knowledge. This is where you open your EYES to the lies and the unknown things about Life and yourself.
And while, uncovering the hidden knowledge is a key to awakening and expansion, it is also a double edge sword.
Upon entry into The Tree of Knowledge, there are 2 pathways.
The Tree of Knowledge of Good
The Tree of Knowledge of Evil
Now, before I go any further, you need to know that this is NOT the dualistic ‘good and evil’ that most people think. And anyone who SEES it that way, is already on the 2nd path (Evil).
Ignorance is not bliss, it IS very, very “evil”.
Evil is pollution of spirit.
It contaminates the spirit and clouds the VISION of man. Essentially, you will not acquire True VISION, if you are on the wrong path to Knowledge.
This is why entering into the world of Da’ath is dangerous.
While those who are trapped on the Tree of Knowledge of Evil (although unbeknownst to them) are usually terrified of what they will discover on their quest for knowledge, the bigger issue is NOT what they will find in terms of information presented.
The bigger issue is whether or not they have CLEANED themselves; that is the real danger.
Knowledge is RESERVED for the PURE.
So, just because you discover some deep dark secret about our origins or the government or whatever — fill in the blanks… It doesn’t mean you “know” shit.
KNOWING is Gnosis and it is reserved for the PURE ones. You will only be able to decode the true teaching if you have dissolved the Ego.
Ego prevents man from attaining True Gnosis, not just deep dark hidden secrets. Any fool can find those, but Gnosis, nope. That’s reserved. That requires a KEY.
So long as you are talking down to others, writing them nasty comments, passive aggressive and unconscious emails, talking shit/gossiping about how stupid someone is or how vial you think they are, you better CHECK yourself.
That’s your Ego talking. And that is YOUR WORD. And with every Word, you’re getting more and more polluted.
When the Ego is in charge, the real teaching can never be SEEN.
And furthermore, it’s obvious when they do NOT know the real teaching:
+ They take things personally.
+ They think everything you write is about them.
+ They get triggered.
+ They want to lash out and attack.
+ They talk shit.
+ They name call.
+ They become vengeful.
+ They attempt to throw “their power” around with lawsuits or legal rebuttal
+ They attempt to make you feel small because deep down they are TINY
If you KNOW the real teaching, you would NEVER do any of these things, EVER!
Because you know it causes POLLUTION OF SPIRIT.
The Devil, Satan, and Demons
The Ego is a deadly weapon that blocks Gnosis. It makes gnosis an impossible quest; one that will never be discovered until the individual with the Ego comes down from their throne and breaks-free from its polluted and devilish chains.
What man doesn’t realize about The Devil is that it is created in the Mind. It is not a boogie man that is coming to get you — it’s actually YOU; it’s your creation.
Satan is the adversary and that adversary is your mind. It’s your EGO puffing up its chest thinking it’s something special when in fact IT IS TINY and deep down IT knows it.
So, if you are on a quest for knowledge and you enter into Da’ath to look for answers for things you do not understand, consider yourself warned:
If you have not CLEANED your being of your Ego, you will never find the true esoteric teaching of anything. It doesn’t matter how many occult books you read or how many beings you’ve “channeled” — your lens is skewed and your knowledge will always be polluted. Tainted.
There are thousands and thousands of spiritual teachers who are NOT clean and it is obvious by their Word.
The Tree of Knowledge of EVIL is POLLUTION of the Spirit. The spirit of man.
It’s why people are nasty. It’s why they last out. It’s why they call you names or puff out their chest to appear bigger and badder than you.
It’s a front. A Big Hairy Front.
This is a very serious problem.
This is the danger of knowledge and it’s something so prevalent in today’s society because we are in the Age of Information. You can’t scroll online or write a blog post without a polluted spirit engaging with your content.
The Qliphothic Tree (The Dark Tree)
I have held off for several years (for reasons I am finally ready to address) in discussing the Dark Tree with my people because I first needed to get to the root of why I was being attacked for attempting to discuss the NIGHTSIDE of the psyche.
This Nightside or subconscious mind is called the Qliphothic Tree and when you enter into this tree psychically via Da’ath (or Yesod, but that’s another story) with your Ego still entact, be prepared to receive a hefty dose of SUFFERING.
What people don’t innerstand about the Qliphothic Tree is that it’s NOT necessarily demonic nor does it have to be SCARY.
What is matters is to what degree the individual is POLLUTED.
If your Spirit is filled with Ego, polluted by Words, then get ready to be broken down HARD.
Suffering is self created.
It’s very difficult to hold a mirror to yourself when your Ego has created a glass castle with itself the King of the domaine. Because if you did the mirror would shatter.
It would break into tiny little shells.
And that’s exactly what is taking place inside man who has not CLEANED his spirit before acquiring KNOWLEDGE.
These shells replace the spheres on the Tree of Life — meaning, the individual is psychically trapped in the dark tree. They make up stories to fulfill their Ego’s strong grip over their psyche and they have NO idea this is happening.
This is the world we live in.
We live amongst individuals who are very, very ill and yet, they believe they possess Gnosis— when really, they their psyche is polluted by their own self-created demons.
This is not Gnosis. This is illness.
It doesn’t matter what rock you uncover about:
our origins or
how much you think you know about the shape of the Earth
whether there are UFO’s
or whatever…
What matters is the PURITY of your Vision. If you do not develop Night Vision, you will only be able to SEE with your “I” and NOT your “EYE”.
The “I” of The Ego.
It has taken me quite a bit of work with the Qliphothic Tree to unravel this Gnosis and I KNOW I will still be banished and hated by those who will not be able to look in the mirror and FEEL into what I am trying to eloquently express and decode for the common man.
It’s difficult to talk about the Qliphothic Tree because it’s triggering, but not for the reasons THEY think it’s triggering.
They think it’s demonic… but it is they who have created their own demons… within. The demons their Ego created via the pollution, via the Word.
I write this post with a humble heart as I have experienced first-hand the burning flames of HELL that come from those trapped in the Qliphothic Tree.
Words are hurtful, but I wanted you to know WHY.
It has to do with the roaming Egos that are being inflated day in and day out by those on their quest for Gnosis, by those addicted and obsessed with knowledge — only they have entered the Tree of Knowledge of Evil and not the Tree of Knowledge of Good — because that is strictly reserved for those who are purifying their Temple.
