DEDICATION
To Brother Vanor, to Sister Darina and Sister Michaela, who gave the occasion for writing this book, through their constant quest for Truth and an adamant Intention to Flawlessness...
INTRODUCTION Choice… The choice is what changes the Universe. I made this choice as a child. I chose to search for the hidden, I chose the Path of Sacrament. When the choice is made, reverse inertia also appears - all those difficulties in life that try to deny the purpose of your Intention. They try to despondent you, to make you doubt the meaning of your deed. In the hardest Trials, I left the illusions of the World and chose the Flame. And then the Flame chose me as well and I lived with it. The choice became final. I had no more right to choose - my conscious service to the Flame began. I no longer had the right to speak, and I remained silent, but the Flame spoke through me. I lost my own words, but the Flame began to speak through me. I no longer live for the World. I live to write and write to live. The Word has become my life. The Word connects and unites us. The Unconditional Love to my Master and the Word flowing between us revived the Black Brotherhood. The Black Brotherhood - this is the art of serving the Flame, the Absolute, and the Truth. Then I realized - without service to the Flame, there is no life, but only instinct and survival. In this service, I lost myself, but I found my Ancient Father. In this service, I lost my home, but I found the Path to the Ancient Homeland. On this Path, I lost my relatives, but I found the Black Brotherhood and now all living beings are my Brothers and Sisters. I lost everything I ever owned and then I started to have Nothingness with me everywhere. In my life, there is no happiness, but there is fullness and I lack nothing. I have no purpose in my life - only my services to the Flame, the Black Brotherhood, and mankind have remained. On this Path, I lost the meaning, but I received constant inspiration. I was no longer the one I thought I was, and I became the one that the Flame chose me to be. My name is Moriel Yamanu - The Hidden. I was chosen to revive the Teaching of the Black Brotherhood in the Dawn of the Sixth Solar Race. I will not lead you. I will not bring you change. I will not show you the Path. I will give you Five Gifts: a Key, which can open all Doors, which were and will be. I will give you something Hidden, which nobody can see or take away. I will give you a Path leading out of the World, where no one can follow you. I will give you Knowledge, which does not doubt. I will give you a Mission, which no one can accomplish... I will not help anyone, but I will give everyone a hand. Whoever takes my hand will never grow old. Whoever takes my hand will never die. Whoever takes my hand will never fall ill. Choice... My Choice was made a long time ago. Now I live it and living it, I became Chosen. Now is the moment for you to make your Choice, my friend... May all of you be One. Be blessed! Moriel Yamanu
FOREWORD
Dear reader, in your hands you hold an occult book, which contains the esoteric knowledge of the Black Brotherhood. If you hold an occult book for the first time in your hands, you need to know the following few things: - It is not a fictional literature and is not written to sound beautiful, but to present a methodology to be followed and to make changes in your whole life; - There is no narrative. The book is more of a practical guide to spiritual perfection and Flawlessness. So you can accept that in this book, the main character is you. Whether this book will work for you depends mainly on you - how seriously and methodically you will approach it and how strictly you will follow the advice in it; - The idea of this book is not to read a chapter explaining an issue and to agree with the writing. You are not required to take blindly what is said in it. Moreover, if you accept what is said literally, you will not get to the depths of Knowledge concealed there, but only scratch the surface. On the other hand, if you only deny what is written, because it does not coincide with your past experience and confirmed opinions, you will also not be able to make a change; - This book is intended as a teaching material for the Occult Students at the School of the Black Brotherhood. The materials in it offer a path and a methodology to study and require ingenuity and creativity; - Some of the skills and qualities, that the reader will be able to acquire are: a deeper understanding of the human behavior, motivation and underlying causes, that dictate their decisions; control of criticism and lie; methodology on how to transform negative emotions into creative ones; not taking insults personally and gaining a higher look at the emotions in general; controlling thoughts and their controlled use; transforming desires and dreams into purposefulness and their realization; many other skills that cannot be explained by modern science, nor need to be explained. The only way to make a great profit for yourself from this book is to look purposefully, to look for the answers yourself. To explore what you have read. Apply the methods given in the book purposefully and consistently. Accept the written in a neutral way. Look at the book in its own light. You may assume that with this book you have the opportunity to work in a team. This book will not tell you what to do and expect blind obedience. It will tell you what needs to be done to achieve a result. The book will not get you into the "house of knowledge". It will not even point you to the door for this house. The book will give you a Key. You should look for the door on your own. This book is written with the sole purpose of helping. It does not need either criticism or praise and is indifferent to both. Writing this book on my side is not about popularity or material benefit (the book is intended to be distributed free of charge in electronic form, and if someone wants to order it printed, it only pays the cost declared by the publisher/printing house). This book was written only as part of my service to mankind with the purpose of human spiritual development and awakening.
If you want the book and you to work, to become a real team, and achieve high results, you must be able to look at it in its own light, without making a preliminary assessment and comparing it with your already established experience: “Many of you will read this Book and accept some things, reject others, and fiercely criticize. This would mean that those people have opened just a bunch of paper and read the material book, without reaching the Book. It happens so because they compare it to their own already established view of life, and their reading is prejudiced, instead of surveying the Book in its own light. There’s no need to accept or reject it, my friend. Just leave it alone to speak for itself. There is a copy of this Book in every one of you. The thing you’re holding now is just for recollection.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood: Book for Book: 1 In many places in this practical guide, you will find quotes from another book – the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood. And here questions will arise: what is this Black Brotherhood? Why Brotherhood? And why Black? “The Black Brotherhood is a society of sages that exists in secret from the dawn of the world, and that has been pushing forward many civilizations and cultures just as the soil feeds the trees. The trees are perceived, but their roots remain hidden. And while other teachings spread like the branches of the tree and stray ever further, the Teachings of the Black Brotherhood remain hidden as stable and black as the soil itself. It preserves the Ancient Wisdom untainted. The Black Brotherhood remains secret and hidden among ancient civilizations and cultures like Lemuria and Atlantis; the Sumerian, the Egyptian and the Indus Valley Civilization; in ancient China and the Mediterranean; among Toltecs and Mayans.” From the forward of The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood In this line of thought, it is appropriate to specify that under "black" we should not refer to some "evil", something anarchist, something grim, something negative. By "Black" in the context of this book, it would be more appropriate to understand the "primordial origin". The "soil", that feeds the plants. Realistically black and white are the only true colors. The universe was once originally "black". All colors are just an illusion. They are the way our eyes capture and interpret the light. The fact that the colors exist in our human consciousness does not mean that they can exist independently and from there to think that they are real. Following the example above, accepting black as the opposite of white would be utterly inaccurate. Here "black" appears as the source from which everything else originates. The word Brotherhood comes to imply a desire for the unification of all people and the sharing of unified spiritual values. Attempt to eliminate differences between us and to search for the common: “The rich and the poor; the strong and the feeble; the friends and the foes; black, and yellow, and red, and white; the seekers and the ones in hiding; fathers and mothers, sons, and daughters; arriving, passing and going – you hold the Book, and it is indifferent to your divergence. For the Book, each of you is an empty page, an unwritten story that is yet to be told. In reading off of this Book, you become a part of it. The Book unites us and calls us all the same – we are Brothers and Sisters.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood: Book for the Book: 9 Regardless of their race and ethnicity, from their religious and political views, they all laugh, enjoy the things of life - moments with friends, smile when they receive a gift,
tears when we lose something of value to us ... It turns out we are not so "different." We are even more resembling than we are different. What would be more important: all these common features that portray our personality, or the fact that someone is from another ethnic group or he has a different sort of political affiliation? These differences are insignificant and people unnecessarily attach great importance to them. Why? Because they have lost the essential in their lives. This is precisely the idea of the Brotherhood and the idea of this book - to help each person to regain the essential that he has lost.
This book came to light in a very natural way. After the appearance of the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, this is the next book that is published. The chapters in this book appeared as occult lectures held in front of the Occult School of the Black Brotherhood. Later they were organized in a book. Here are some logical questions: what's the difference between the two books? Why does the second book examine specifically the Seven Principles, and not some of the other aspects of the Teaching? In the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood are laid the foundations of the Teaching. It is organized from several books of different ages. The texts in it, as in most Sacred Books, are presented in pure form - the writing is mystical, and for the uninitiated people, it may sound illogical and meaningless. After a search, re-reading and training process, the Occult Student, most often with the help of a mentor, can understand the original text of the Book. The current book, in turn, is written in an accessible human language so that it can be understood by a wide range of people. Occult lectures began with the Seven Principles, as they have a high level of applicability without the need for specialized training. These Seven Principles can be applied on many levels, according to the individual's personal skills. They can quickly become tools for changing the reality and the lives of people. They can be used by Occult Students and Initiated, as well as by ordinary people, who are looking for a method to improve their lives and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the Universe. This is one of the reasons for the publication of this book - in times of change, when the Universe changes so quickly, one has to make enormous efforts to understand this change in order to adapt and self-preserve. In this regard, the Seven Principles and "The Art of Flawlessness" plays an irreplaceable guide and friend.
INTRODUCTION
To understand the Seven Principles and to apply them successfully, it is important to understand their origin and their place in the Teaching of the Black Brotherhood. The Teaching of the Black Brotherhood is a whole system with many obvious and hidden elements. Just as in the human body there are visible, obvious organs, as there are also internal, hidden organs. If we follow the example of the human body, we can
say that the Seven Principles are part of the body's skeleton. What does the whole skeleton consist of? Five Elements, Seven Principles, Nine Sounds, Sixteen Guardians, Twenty-Seven Keys, Seventy-Two Paths, Three Hundred and Sixty Formulas, and Five Hundred and Four Homes. Each of these "vertebras" is related to the rest. The central focus in this book falls on the Seven Principles - a fundamental part of the Teaching of the Black Brotherhood. Why the Principles? Why they are not Laws? There is the following hierarchy: with laws work the average people, with rules – the spiritual, with principles – the divine. The average person is the one who seeks the material. The spiritual person seeks for the Hidden. The divine lives with the Hidden, with the Secret Knowledge. The Principle contains depth and does not imply a penalty if it is not observed. You are the one, who should be self-correcting, according to your own level of Awareness. An example of a "principle-rule-law" relationship would be: Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word." Rule: "First become Truth and then speak." Law: "Do not lie." In these Seven Principles is contain a multitude of coded Occult rules, methods, and exercises that will be clarified in this book. In order for the reader to become acquainted with this book, it will be necessary to note that in the book many words are used with a different meaning than the conventional one. That is why, before we started with the actual part, we will give some explanatory notes. The Seven Principles, as well as all other aspects of the Teaching, are inextricably linked to the Five Pre Elements - Darkness, Intention, Flame, Chaos, and Water. What is important to specify, is that these are the Elements that formed the entire Universe (and not only). And the elements of fire, water, air, earth, spirit (in Western teachings) and fire, wood, water, metal, air (in the Eastern teachings) form only our world. Therefore, some are elements and the others are Pre Elements. Let us not forget that the world in which we live is a very small part of the Universe (and only of this Universe). The Universe we know (or, more precisely, we think we know) is not composed of fire, water, air or earth, but of Dark Energy, Dark Matter, intergalactic gases and stars... Here are some words that can provide additional clarity: Darkness. Before the beginning the Absolute Darkness was everything. The Darkness is everything that could ever be. Even the idea of time, space or matter was still nonexistent. The Darkness is Nothingness. Prime Emptiness. The Darkness is an endless possibility. Intention. The Darkness vibrates. An initial Impulse. An Intention arises in the Darkness and turns from total Emptiness into Fullness and folds into Nothingness. One primal Intention for transition from Peace towards Movement, without it even exists yet. Flame. The Intention takes in the idea and direction. The Darkness swallows itself and thickens into an unreal unit – the Flame. The Flame is exactly the Darkness thickened, the breaking point and the moment of transcendence from the Hidden to the manifested. The Flame is the Key of Transcendence. The Great Divide. The Flame is what stands before every Beginning.
Chaos. The Chaos is the origin of Creation. The Storm that builds and obliterates Worlds. The Chaos is the primal Motion. Water. When the Storm of Creation calms down, the Black Water remains – PreMatter. From this Dark Matter, Time starts. From the Water’s vast expanse emerge forms and space begins… The Darkness is the Heart of the Ocean. The Intention is a rising wave, and the peak of the wave is the Flame. The Chaos is the wave crashing. The foam that floods the coast is the Water. The Darkness, these are the negative numbers that reach infinity. The Intention is inertia; the actions are multiplication and subtraction. The Darkness’ Intention creates the Flame. The Flame is Zero, a natural product of the negative numbers’ intention and a progenitor of all following numbers. From Flames comes Chaos, from Zero come the creating numbers: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine. Chaos created Water and Matter from Ten and therefrom originate all other numbers, forms and dimensions. The Darkness is the original Dark Energy. The Intention is the Dark Energy compressing into an infinitely small point that is the Flame. It is this point that creates the Big Bang that is the Primeval Chaos. From this process originates the Dark Matter we call Water. The Darkness is the soil. The Intention is the juice that flows from the tree. The Flame is the roots and the stem – part hidden, and part evident. The branches and leaves are the Chaos. The fruit that the tree bears is the Water. Darkness – Intention – Flame – Chaos – Water – Chaos – Flame – Intention – Darkness. This is the cycle. This is the Serpent biting its tail.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Absolute Darkness - Elements: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15 Of course, the above are just a few examples that illustrate generally what is meant by the Five Pre Elements. These descriptions and explanations are by no means exhaustive. In the future, there will be a book, in which one of the central themes will fall on the Five Pre Elements. For now, for a fuller understanding of the Pre Elements, the reader can read the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood. There are also many words written in capital letters in this book. This is intentional. When Love is written, not love, Love is considered as a spiritual principle. Divine Love, not human love. When the word "word" is written with a capital letter (Word), there are no words or words spoken, but the Word as the Occult Principle, the divine Word. In many places in this book, there are references to passages from the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, where many words and terms are explained in detail. Here we will be pleased to point out only a few of them. Similarly, there are specific terms that are often repeated. Such as Sharpness, Power, Rightness, Awareness, Awakeness, and Flawlessness. These four concepts are essential to the understanding, interpretation, and application of the Seven Principles. Rightness:
“Fifth came the Snake. And the Snake said: “The third merit is the Rightness. Rightness is being Flawless in your actions. Only Flawlessness defeats the stronger enemy. The Flawlessness gives you the opportunity to be in the right place and the right time. If the enemy is faster, you have to pick the exact moment to counter him. When you stop him in his tracks, his speed is no longer pure. The single right moment is more relevant than speed. The speed of the enemy is routine. The moment you counter him, an Intention appears, and it brings a change in the situation and a transformation in the enemy. In order to seize the moment your enemy has first to enter your space. So I cannot bite anyone too far away from me. I have to first let it near me. When the enemy is stronger, strike his weakest point. Precision beats prowess. The weakest point is the crossing of his strengths.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 25 Sharpness: “The Sharpness is what serves the Great Evil for his Intention to come to fulfillment. Sometimes Sharpness acts through the Word, and sometimes though Action. Sharpness is everything useful. The extra cannot be Sharpness. The Sharpness is extreme alacrity. The Sharpness is when Intention runs not through the Flame but straight for its aim. In the Intention, there is nothing redundant. Sharpness is like a river – it flows where there is no resistance and takes over the space sweeping away everything negligible in its wake. This is the nature of Sharpness. Sharpness is like the hurricane’s funnel – as it comes down, it swirls around a single fraction until it becomes an unstoppable force. If the hurricane is attacked by an army, it faces the foe top-first and sucks them towards its center until they disappear into oblivion completely. This is Sharpness.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Chosen Ones - Sharpness: 2
Power and Sharpness: “The Pyramid is to overcome your differences and become One. It’s the Path to Concentration that leads to Rightness. The true Energy gathers in moments of Rightness. The Power comes from your Ancient essence. Your Sharpness – from the Supreme Darkness. The Energy flows like the river. The Energy draws to the depths like the waves draw you into the sea. The Energy is a process of building. A process that never stops and constantly moves. The Power is Absolute on its own turn. It is not constant but instant. But in order for it to appear, it has to be built up. Once gathered the Power is like a striking lightning or the exploding volcano. When the Power fulfills its purpose, it transforms and vanishes. The conscious Power that is aimed with the Intention transforms into the Sharpness.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Chosen Ones - Keys: 30 Awareness: “ Heed me the third time: The earth warriors work with fear and bravery, but they are both limited. Bravery deceives you to step forward overconfidently and thus fall into a trap. My measurement is quite different and its Awareness. It combines fear and courage in a balanced whole. Through Awareness I sense the flipping of the wings of the butterfly on the other side of the world. Awareness gives you Awakeness,
Awakeness gives you Attention, and that gives you hyper-concentration for everything near and far, seen and unseen. Concentration is made by gaze, the motion, and finally the voice.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 15
Awakeness: “Once, Atafari asked the Seekers to bring water from the oasis. At first, they thought it was an easy task, but every time they fill up the jugs with water the heat would evaporate all of it before they have reached the Pyramid. They had to keep going back to the oasis time after time, but the water kept on evaporating. Some of the candidates decided to stop and take a break. This way they chose the sand over the water. Atafari told them: “The Disciple’s Path requires full Attention and Awakeness. Awakeness is day and night without a break even for a second. If you stop even for a single moment, the discipleship has been lost, and the sands consume you.” Atafari buried in the sands, those who had lost their Attention, without the right of tasting water ever again. Few pass that Trial, and they understood – the secret was not the water, but the constant walking.“ The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Chosen Ones - Death: 5
Flawlessness: “The second step in winning over the Devil is the Voice. You need to clean your words and thoughts. The Devil does not live in an underground world, but on the tip of your tongue, awaiting to be called. One wrong word, one rough word, one spoken or accepted insult, one wrong opinion, one wrong conclusion, one critic and you lose the Flawlessness. Every word is a holy being and once spoken it starts its own life. If the word is right, it will move you forward all the way. If the word is wrong, it will stumble you, and then you will need to spend time getting back up. ” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 40 “The people asked Aasim, why they have been conquered by other nations. Aasim replied: „The Flawlessness is like a mountaintop. If it is not high enough, the ocean takes over it.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 94 “The ideas are the Flowers. The Soul is the fruitful land. The Spirit is the Sun, and the mind is the weed. When you remove the weed, the Flowers will bloom. But beware not to remove the Flower along with the weed and if it can’t be saved, uproot them both, so that you’ll preserve the Flawlessness.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Yellow Spider – The Garden of the Spider: 4
Aasim said:” The Art of the Flawlessness is hidden in the Seven Principles. They are the Path to the Rightness. Through the Seven Principles, man leaves the world and starts travel back to the Homeland. First Principle: “Be Flawless in your Words.” Second Principle:”Leave everything that is unnecessary.” Third Principle: “Turn your mind into a sun.” Fourth Principle: “Work with what is invisible for the others.” Fifth Principle: “Take a position before every single moment.” Sixth Principle: “From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey.” Seventh Principle: „Don’t let the dusk cast shadow over your smile.” The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 103 Once we have clarified some important concepts, our journey can begin. Know, reader, that this is an adventure of no return. If you consciously embark on this Path, you will never return... At first, you will think that you have chosen this Path. Then you will realize that, in fact, The Path has chosen you, and you just accepted this invitation. In time you will understand that nobody has chosen anything - The Path has always been there, you just have never seen it. You will realize that this Path is yours... And there will also come the moment when the Path will disappear and will be Desert. This Occult Path will awaken something in you. Something you always had, but it was hidden from you. This is how you will start searching and searching. You will never find anything, but you will become part of this search and it will fill your whole life… If you are not ready for this adventure, better leave this book now and forget about it. If, however, the questions and the irreconcilability rush inside of you to know... If you are looking for a radical change in your life. If you want to achieve things that no one before you has achieved. If you believe in the impossible and you are not satisfied with the visible and the obvious but want to know the invisible and the hidden. If you think your will can endure the difficult trials the Path has prepared for you, welcome to the Black Brotherhood School. We welcome you...
PREPARATION
About the Occult Diaries and how to keep them. How to read lectures and how to work on them. How to work with the Book and the Formulas.
“The Art of Flawlessness” gives the reader total freedom of action (or inaction), but a few tips to work with the book would not be unnecessary. This book can be read in different ways. It can be read at once, as a novel. This will give the reader a complete overview of the system of the Seven Principles, but will not allow a thorough work on them. A second method is for the reader to read the book in a mixed way, as each chapter affects certain problems - in some chapters, one speaks about the lie, in others about the criticism, in third about the need and the methods of change... Thus, the reader can take what he needs at that precise moment, but cannot cover the book in its entirety and see the interrelationships between the Principles. The secret to working with this book is methodical, patience and creativity. A good strategy is to read one chapter at a time - one Principle per month. In this month, apply the methods and exercises described in that chapter and then move to the next Principle. The book can be read at once before and/or after applying this "monthly" methodology. Another necessary element for work is the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood or also called "the Book". Given that there are references to the Book in many places in this book, it would be difficult to work without having the full text to acquire the reader a holistic image of the meaning of the writing. It is important to note that all the texts quoted in this book are from the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood without being explicitly disclosed. Given that the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood (or still called in the text "The Book") is made up of many books (Book of the Chosen Ones, Book of the Legacy, Book for the Book, etc.), in this book we are pleased to cite only the corresponding book, chapter, and paragraph number. This will make it easy for the reader to make inquiries. Example: Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 16 This means that the quoted text is part of the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood; Book: The Book of the Chosen Ones; Chapter: Motion; Paragraph number 16.
Third, it is important to mention, that if the reader does not want to simply read the book for a purely informative purpose, but wants to work through it and experiment, it will be necessary to make a special diary, specifically related to the work on the Seven Principles. In the diary, you can mark all the thoughts and moods that have appeared in reading a particular chapter. Describe your vision. Every day you will mark the exercises that are described in the book and how you deal with them. Monitor your progress. At the end of each month, before you begin to study another Principle, you may write something like a complete report on your work during the month and the changes that have occurred. This, at some point in the future, will help you find the right words and methods to pass on these Principles and pass the skills to another person who has not yet touched this book. After all, the Sacred Knowledge is like a river that should not stop flowing. It cannot be detained but should be passed on to others along the chain. It is this transfer of accumulated experience that is a step that helps the reader to understand some of the most hidden secrets of the Seven Principles. In case you decide not only to re-read, but to study this book, another useful recommendation would be to find a soul mate - another person who has the same
attitude and periodically exchange experience about his/her understanding of the book, the accomplishment of tasks, and the approach to the book and other... Since, quite normal for most people, occultism, and esotericism are distant concepts, and this book is meant for everyone, it is right before we start essentially studying the Principles, to give some guidelines and examples of those for whom the occultism is something new. Examples of how Occult Knowledge is not just an occupation, but is extremely useful in everyday life and can greatly improve our lives and those of our loved ones. That is why the first chapter does not start directly with the Principles but is titled "Occultism in everyday life." Lastly, it's important to say a few words about the Formulas. In many places in this book, the reader will find Formulas. The Formula is a kind of thought-form that aims to direct consciousness in one direction and awaken the Intention. For the uninitiated, the Formula may resemble some degree of prayer or spell, although technically neither of them. Prayer implies an unconditional surrender of the situation to the hands of a higher power that performs the requested one. The spell, on the other hand, suggests that Adept himself controls the situation. In the Black Brotherhood System, the way in which prayers, spells, and the Formulas mentioned above are being looked at is quite different. In the Universe, there are different developments of the same event. Everything happens at the same time. We assume that what we are trying to do is happening right now in a parallel world-state, and the Formula we are applying only directs our minds in that direction by making us achieve the moment of the already realized event. The Formula is a short and clear text, we express our will with. This Formula should be repeated the number of time mentioned in the text or, if there is no indication, repeat it until the Occult Student loses a sense of time. Sample Formulas: "I'll get better. I'm healthy. I have healed. "I give you my unconditional Love. I forgive you, forgive me too." For a better understanding of the Formulas, the reader can read the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood - Book of the Chosen Ones, Chapter Words.
CHAPTER 0: OCCULTISM IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Many are those who seek the occult, the hidden. Many are those who walk the Path. But few are those who reach. How can we get there? Just by walking in Rightness through Flawlessness. Which is the Key to proper walking - the approach and attitude towards things. Occult - means hidden. The Occult Path, this is the Hidden Path. The one which cannot be seen with a naked eye. A Path that does not exist until we make the first step on it. The Path of the Sacred Knowledge lies at every next step in our life. It is never apparently offered, but everyone has to wish for it secretly in his heart. When a man is no longer content with the obvious, and seeks what lives beyond the visible; when the man is no longer content with facts, but seeks to work with principles; when the man seeks, so hard the Truth - then he is ready to make the first step on the Path that cannot be seen. When the man is ready, the teacher also appears.
“Many people want to study the Teachings and the Magic Arts and for that purpose, they read a lot of books. But this way they move away from the essence of the Teachings, because the books are external Spring, while men should seek into themselves. The essence of the Teachings is embodied in the Teacher. If there is a Teaching – there is a Teacher too. The book is an external source, while to understand the Teachings you must turn inwardly to your essence, in order to take out your hidden potentials. The books won’t take them out. The Teacher will. The book is a good means against forgetfulness, but it can’t replace the Teacher. In the teaching Teacher is the Father, Disciple – the Son. A book without a Teacher creates only spiritual orphans.” The Book of the Black Brotherhood, Book of the Yellow Spider-Teacher: 8 The reason many people become interested in occultism, esotericism, and magic is that they want to improve their lives. The interest in occultism itself means a desire for change and awareness that there is something we lack in our life. There is a lack of sense in our life. There is no goal that we see as unattainable. Most people pursue material goals that are achievable. Lives lost in struggles to gain something material, and if they do not achieve it, they understand that they have not really gained anything in these struggles. Life is not a struggle. Struggling is the wrong way to see the world. Every fight is lost in advance. Life is not a struggle, but a chance for Choice. Some people, however, manage to achieve the material goals and then lose even more and wonder what to do. They feel that although they bought a new house or a new car, there is still something they lack. They set new material goals and continue to wander. Viewed from above, their movements seem chaotic. The purpose of life is to find a meaning that is greater than you. A goal that is not achievable, and you go all the way, but not in a chaotic one, but in a straight line to that goal. The goal is not there to be achieved but to make you get to it. It is not the goal that brings you satisfaction, but the very aim to it. That's why those who work daily with the work they love do not get tired, but get charged with energy. Many of those who deal with occult sciences soon get tired and abandon the occultism, as they do not benefit from these activities. That's because occult science has been wrongly applied. Many people want to gain personal benefits and, through the occult, improve the relationship with their partner, to improve their financial situation, and succeed in their career... However, something that not everyone can see clearly happens. The man says, "Oh, Occult Science, fix my life as with a magic wand!" Not everyone, however, could hear what the Occult Science “says”. The Occult Science asks: "I shall give you, and what will you give me in return?" The process is two-sided. We cannot want to get benefits without giving as well. First, we have to give and then we automatically receive back. But we cannot automatically give. First, we must have something to give. In order to have something to give, we must improve ourselves, in an understandable human language: to develop our spiritual essence. To build spiritual qualities. Awareness, which sees hidden things. Awakeness, that never misses the right moment to act. Flawlessness, which prevents mistakes. Rightness, that gives freedom to both us and others. By achieving these occult dimensions, we already have a lot to offer to other. If we want to achieve everything, we need to have the right spiritual approach. We can have access to everything - both spiritual understanding and spiritual strength, as well
as successes in life, in our career, in our family and in everything else. Our attitude toward things is important and what we put first. Material success can never be our ultimate goal. It is rather secondary auxiliary phenomena. Material benefits are side effects of our spiritual work. They are not reasons but only consequences. The purpose of occultism and spiritual pursuits is the personal improvement and acquisition of Spiritual Knowledge, not the purchase of a new house. Someone will ask, "But what is the meaning of all this Secret Knowledge if it does not bring us benefits?" The meaning of the Sacred Knowledge is not something that serves us, but something we serve to. The point is to pass it on to others, to live it, to look for it constantly every day of our lives until we become part of the search itself. Whoever serves the Sacred Knowledge receives the conditions to be able to develop and continue to serve - everyone gets enough material things, depending on the mission he is destined to do. So the careers, the houses, the money, the people around us are the result of our right intentions and we have to accept what we are given with gratitude. Whoever walks the Hidden Path realizes with each step the importance of this Path and understands that he cannot hide it for himself alone, but must share it with others. Those who are ready to take the first step will listen to its words. Those who are not ready will not even understand what the words mean. But the Sacred Knowledge is meant to be passed on. It cannot be given to the wrong ones by mistake, because the Secret Knowledge knows how to guard itself against the unsuitable and unclean ones. For them, it only conceals itself and leaves the unclean on the surface, without allowing them to the depths. The important thing is to make the Right Choice - what to put at the center of your life? The Flame (The Secret Knowledge) does not tolerate being a side-job or a hobby, it does not tolerate being in the background. Once you have chosen the Secret Path, the Flame fills our heart, and our life has a real meaning. The vagueness in which we have lived is unveiled, and now we have a clear idea of what we are aiming for and how to achieve it. All other material things like work, career, property, money, friends, and others are points on the periphery of the Circle of Our Life. The Flame is the Center. It depends on us where we will be in this Circle of our own life. That is exactly why, when a person chooses something material for his purpose, he automatically chooses to be on the periphery of his own life and acquires one thing, but lose another. He gets closer to a point on the periphery of the circle, which moves him away from the other points. The examples are many: someone chooses the profession and the career, and it brings him failures in marriage and relationships with his children. Another chooses the money and material benefits and earns a lot of money, but drops his health and then gives the money he earned to doctors desperately to stay alive... Choosing the Flame (The Absolute, The Path to the Secret Knowledge) as the Center of our life, we become the Center of the Circle of our life and everything else is equidistant from us. Then we have everything we need to go along the Path. By choosing the Flame, we do not lose anything in our lives but gain a deeper insight into everything: a deeper attitude and understanding in our family relationships, the work we work on, our health and everything else... The Path of the Sacred Knowledge cannot to be something for leisure. This Path is a way of life, a way of thinking, a way of acting. This Path is applicable in absolutely all spheres of life. Therefore, it is pointless to seek for a great occult secret, which will correct our relationship in the family or pay us the unpaid financial debts. What we need to fix is ourselves - to set things in their proper place. Place the Main in the Center and the secondary things come naturally.
To place the Flame in the Center of our life, we must first choose to walk the Path to this Center. In order to see where the Center is, we need to open our spiritual sight, and that is with Awareness. Through Awakeness, we resist not making gross mistakes that can stumble upon us. With the right action to ourselves and others, we acquire Flawlessness. In order to develop Awareness, Awakeness, and Flawlessness, the Seven Principles come to our help. The Seven Principles are not "laws of God", which we are obliged to obey or otherwise punishment awaits us. The Seven Principles are the supporting stones, which sustain the Universe itself. The more these principles infiltrate our lives, the more everything around us will be fixed in the right for us way. Live every day with gratitude - not to God, not to anyone. Just be grateful for everything that is and is not. Live every day with a smile no matter how dark it is this day sometimes. Live with the pursuance of the hidden, the wonderful, and the unknown. Live without fear and without darkness. UR To make the Third Choice, you must first be Chosen. Chosen by the Flame. So, allow yourself to be Chosen. How does this work? Live each day so as to be Chosen... Brotherly, Moriel Yamanu School of the Black Brotherhood, July, 2018.
CHAPTER 1: FIRST PRINCIPLE
PART ONE: ABOUT CRITICISM First Principle: “Be Flawless in your Words.” Second Principle: ”Leave everything that is unnecessary.” Third Principle: “Turn your mind into a sun.” Fourth Principle: “Work with what is invisible for the others.” Fifth Principle: “Take a position before every single moment.” Sixth Principle: “From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey.” Seventh Principle: „Don’t let the dusk cast shadow over your smile.” The Seven Principles are linked together and form a unified whole. They are as many principles (EYE), as well as strategic techniques (HAND). They are also the main part on which rests the Magical Art (VOICE). It is precisely the conscious work and application of these Principles that result in the formation of the Rightness. And the Rightness is what we call the Path to the Flame (Absolute).
Each Principle contains many rules that have clear and hidden sides. For example, the First Principle: Be Flawless in the Words, contains in it rules like: Do not lie, do not criticize, do not abuse words, do not offend, do not vilify behind people, because their Souls hear everything, be faithful to your words , to keep our promises both to others and to ourselves. Do not be sarcastic. Do not be angry. Do not curse and swear. The First Principle has many more details that are hidden, but these are obvious. The First Principle is all that comes out of us and becomes accessible to the world. The transition from thought to words. Here we will look at the "do not criticize" rule as part of the First Principle.
DO NOT CRITICIZE. How can we protect ourselves against violation of this Rule? Method: Breaking the connection between thoughts and words. Occult rule: letting a certain time interval between what comes to mind and the words we choose to speak. Let us not forget that we have the function of being conductors of foreign thoughts and ideas. Not everything that comes into the minds of men is correct and must be spoken. It's like writing a manuscript on a book and publishing the draft without editing or proofreading. So, edit your thoughts. Draw them in, judge which are right and can be spoken, and which are not right and should be silenced. You may also think that they are right, but now is not the right time to share them. We do not have to think of something and shoot it right away. Spiritual maturity requires "editing" of thoughts before "publishing" them. This is one of the methods to protect ourselves from expressing criticism. If you come close to criticisms, put that occult rule in use. Stop. Let's wait a bit. Now we come to criticize someone and say something bad about him. 10 minutes. During these ten minutes let's do nothing. Not to do anything but to do nothing. Active inaction to clear our minds. As we pass these ten minutes, we give ourselves another longer time window: half an hour to an hour. Then we begin to edit the criticisms we thought to say: why did these thoughts come to me? What provoked them? Something personal? What have we not understood? Someone is doing something wrong and we cannot bear this "injustice," and immediately as a reflection in our thoughts comes what to tell him to put him in place. Something hateful to touch and burn. A kind of punishment for his misconduct. These "penalties" are unproductive because they do not solve the situation, but they create consequences and a whole cycle of replicas and transfer of responsibilities. It's like Pandora's Box: once opened, there's no going back. The criticisms we make remain recorded in the archives of the Universe. To prevent this from happening, we need to stop and look at the situation in another way, through the Eyes of the Eagle. To understand what we miss. What is it that we need to see? To see not what the person says, but the soul of that person. What are his/her hidden desires? Criticism is when we simply express our displeasure without helping the Soul. We have the right to make a remark to the person, but this remark must be made at the right time to be well accepted, just as there is a seed season and a harvest season. The difference between criticism and the remark is that in the remark we give the key on how to deal with the problem in a sensible way. In criticism, there is a mixture of misunderstanding and unconquerable emotions. The remark has love and understanding. We understand the problem, we know what needs to be corrected, and we know how to deliver it to the person in an
appropriate way without provoking side emotions. The occult remark shows the connection between the First Principle: Be Flawless in the Words and the Third Principle: Turn your mind into a sun. This is the principle of the remark: to be like the Sun, which reaches even the farthest corners of the Galaxy. It reaches everyone. This remark, made correctly recording the Occult Laws, can completely change a person's life course. This is the other key: it is not only what will come out of us as a word, but also what will come in and remain with the object of our Intention. The important rule here is to bring the remark with unconditional love and only when the person is ready to listen. Otherwise, we only waste words, and if he did not hear us the first time, because we have not selected the correct moment and we have to make the remark a second time, we are already intruding, which is a fine form of violence... The right remark was created to correct the absence of Rightness in people and lead them to spiritual development. The remark is the seed. The person is the earth. For the remark to grow, the earth must be prepared, or we will only waste the seed. That is why we must first prepare the person to listen - this is done by directing the Intention, unconditional love for man. Formulas can also be used. For example: "Aahar, allowed the brother/sister (name) to accept the river as the sea does." "Brother/sister (name) is the cup and I am the water." "Brother/sister (name) is the flower, and I am the sun." Sometimes it is better to let the person be wrong so can learn his lessons and have the opportunity to learn from his mistakes. Then our remark will appear as salvation. We may have the right remark on our tongue, but it may not be the right time to say it. To overcome criticism, we need to understand where it comes from and what the consequences of its use will be. Criticism is a disagreement with the Universal Order. The order emerging from the Flame and governed by the One (God). By criticizing people, we come into conflict with God in man. Awareness is needed to understand that everything is accurate. The person in front of us is seemingly wrong and mistaken, but that is the Intention of the One (whether to test him or to let him suffer through something and thus to grow spiritually). In this line of thought there are several passages from the Book: “Do not help. Everything is exact. Facilitate nobody. Tempt the Souls and test the Spirit.” Book of the Yellow Spider - The Cobwebs of the Spider: 12 “The people asked Aasim, how they can change the world to a better place. Aasim replied: „The world is not yours to change. Who has created it, can also change it. Everything is the way it has been planned.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 83 “Once, Atafari was walking around with his Disciples. At the square, there was a man who was recently murdered. Nearby the crowd was preparing to execute his murderer. So the Disciples asked: “If life is without an end and is just a journey that would mean that the dead is not dead. So why is the murderer been punished?” Atafari said: “There is no death, no punishment, and no end. Everything is precise. Everything is a transformation from one form into another. One has been modulated, and another has been modulating. When the Sun drays the crops, is it its fault? When
the river overflows its shores, is it its fault? Some modulate with the Awareness, and some are just instruments of their incompetence. The one that modulates unconsciously is an instrument that needs to be cleaned and put away just like the one that is about to be executed. The unconscious takes away one form without being able to recreate or replace it with other. The process of modulating contains namely these two steps. The wind first breaks down the tree and then takes down the seeds as well so new trees can grow. Is it the wind’s fault that the tree had broken down? Is it not the tree’s fault for letting the wind break it? The wind is only a measure: If the tree cannot withstand the strength of the wind its only option is to fall out of the way. Therefore if you don’t want to be modulated, don’t allow yourselves to dry or break. Be alive, don’t be dry. Don’t stand on the winds way. Can the wind break the sea? Mankind is still like a tree – it falls down and grows back up again. Time after time. Only the form is different. I, Atafari, am the Wind that passes through the desert.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Death: 22
We have no right to criticize; furthermore, it is completely meaningless. Instead, when the desire to criticize comes from within, we must stop and think, "Okay, I see the obvious. The person is confused in this and that. Everyone can see it without being an Occult Student. Let me now try to figure out what I am missing to see before I have spoken. What would a Black Adept see from my position? What would my Master see? What would he say? First of all, would you choose to say anything at all? Let me look for the hidden thing that is not visible to the naked eye. There is a connection between the First Principle: ”Be Flawless in the Word” and the Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others". In other words, criticism comes from the lack of Awareness and Awakeness. Here Awareness is the Principal Factor, and Awakeness is the Special Factor. Awareness is the time, and the Awakeness is the minutes. Whoever does not have Awareness will always be lost and will have no control over what comes out of him, which words and all the consequences that come with them. On the other hand, even if you have Awareness, but you do not have Awakeness, you will hurry and criticize. Then after Awareness, you will think, analyze, and understand where you have been misguided. But it will be too late. Criticism has been made. You lost your moment. Of course, it's better to realize your mistake later than never. That is why it is important for the Occult Student to keep a Diary of the Principles. Record and then analyze. But how do we get Awakeness? Changing our attitude towards the Flame. I would not say we have to establish it above everything else. I would say we have to put the Flame in the Center of our life. This way we will be equally close to everything and everyone. Who does not put the Flame at the center of his life, would suffer from an imbalance and there would always be a shortage in his life. While the Flame is just an activity and a hobby, Awakeness cannot be achieved. We read wise books, do occult exercises, and everything is wonderful. Then we go to work, a colleague tells us something outrageous and we immediately attack him with criticism and accusations. The Flame is at all times, no matter what we do or do not. We must constantly keep track of our words and actions. Before you say anything or do something, think: is it right? Does it contravene the Principles? Whoever has Awareness and Awakeness, becomes considerably more moderate in his words and realizes their importance. We do need to ask ourselves which will be the purpose of what we are about to say: do we just say that because we want to
satisfy some of our emotional needs? By dedicating our desires, we plunder the Intention. We want to say what our soul feels. This is a pretty selfish position. The right position would be to think about how we can be useful to the person against us. How we can help grow his Soul. How to serve the Flame in the human Soul. Here's the Key to Awakeness - Unconditional Love to the Flame. Unconditional Love to mankind and Souls. If we only talk and criticize, because this way we satisfy our ego, we take a position like a toddler who wants ice cream from his parents, they do not allow him, and the child dives on the ground, yells and shouts to show how he feels and how dissatisfied he is. By choosing to serve the Flame and the Souls, we occupy a more mature spiritual position of the "parent" who should not think of what he wants for himself and to satisfy caprices but to do what is good for his child's health. He has to take care of the child in the best way, no matter what the circumstances. When you have this parental responsibility, you cannot afford to "sleep" while your child is making trouble and can be hurt or do something wrong. You must be Awake so that you do not miss the right moment. You have to think about how to act and what to tell the child so that it can understand you correctly and not to make a mistake. As far as Awakeness is concerned, and its role in the non-criticism rule, it only shows the connection between the Principles. Fifth Principle: "Take a position before every single moment." Thus the First and the Fifth Principles are connected. There are connections between all Principles in different combinations, but this is a topic for another lecture. Criticism is often not alone but walks everywhere with its comrades - the verbosity (talkativeness) and the wordiness (inappropriateness). Both are prerequisites for the emergence of criticism and the destruction of the Flawlessness of the Word. A common feature of many lost souls is chattiness and idleness. They are afraid to stay alone with themselves because they have nothing to say to themselves. Whoever seeks the Flame keeps his words because he realizes the weight of each word. With each word, we make an agreement that needs to be fulfilled. The persistent treats the words as living people. He does not waste his words and energy, for it is to serve a higher purpose - to patronize man. Talkativeness creates bad habits - together with the many words, also sneak in and many dangers in the speech, which, as they are repeated, turn into mistakes. The talkativeness is like a fitness bicycle without wheels - we rotate the pedals, we sweat, we lose energy, but we do not move anywhere. We remain in one place. A way to deal with talkativeness is by having to listen carefully to everyone and everything. In-depth listening. Not only the external sounds but the hidden ones, which remains unspoken. Most people do not bother even to listen to the outer words of others, they just want to say what is on their mind. So there is no dialogue. Souls do not communicate. Everyone speaks something for themselves, but there is no contact. Everyone pours out the accumulated emotional trash without thinking of who will be cleaning it up afterward. In this connection, interrupting someone while speaking and intervening in the middle of someone else's conversation is a manifestation of criticism/talkativeness. People have so much to share – they only need to have someone to listen to them. From this non-listening, arise most of humanity's problems. Whoever does not listen cannot understand. Whoever does not understand cannot be selfcorrected and has to learn his lessons the hard way. Talkativeness is the connection between the First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word", and the Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." Those words that do not reach the goal, and above all are not created to reach the goal, are unnecessary.
Excess creates spiritual disabilities. Wordiness cannot concentrate. It jumps from theme to theme, comments this person and that person; this event and that event. Thus a person becomes unmethodical and rarely achieves his goals. Claptrap increases these disabilities, causing the person to speak for the very talk. In this way, many people meet with each other just to claptrap. This is the "remedy" for all lost Souls: to be lost, means to have your back to the Flame, to be with your back to the Truth, and then your life becomes heavy, full of misunderstanding. The lost soul needs to consume energy to lighten, and seeks for others like him to talk common tales just for "killing time". It just happens that time kills them. In claptrap, they lose the pursuit of action, they have nothing real to do. They lose time, and instead of controlling it and coming out of it, time subordinates them and traps them. So one day someone wakes up already an old man, looks back and realizes that he has not done anything significant in his lifetime. He has just been losing his time in cheap talk. Here comes another key moment to overcome criticism: pure action eliminates unnecessary words and hence criticism. We see that someone is doing something wrong and it is coming from within us to criticize - instead, we can simply act to correct the mistake of the person who is wrong. That's how the chain is set up. Here comes the following occult rule. Occult Rule: Our words can correct wrong thoughts in others. Our actions can correct the wrong words in others. Our Thoughts / Intentions (Formulas and Intention, Deliberate Thoughts) correct the wrong actions of others. Here you can observe a connection between the First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word" and the Sixth Principle: „From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds kindle a fire. From the flowers extract the honey." This is the correction of the gaps in the First Principle through transformation. When a person gives himself into claptrap, the sacred words retreat, and one loses the essence. There are people who live to criticize. Or so it seems at first glance. If we look deeper, they criticize to live. They have become part of the criticism that, without taking their daily dose of blasphemy and criticizing someone, they cannot sleep peacefully. It is almost impossible to find such a person who lives criticizing and to be pleased with his life. People who criticize a lot are almost always constantly dissatisfied with everything and with everyone, even when they have everything they need. This is a very dangerous behavior for both them and for others around them. It is dangerous for them because they are piling up heavy karma in this way. For others around them, it is dangerous because it acts contagious, so other people are dragged along as a herd and start copying this behavior because they feel it consumes accumulated energy, releases it instead of storing it, and thus this person feels relief. We should observe very vigilantly to not intercept this disease and do not distribute it. It is very insidious and dangerous. In the above examples of criticism, someone does or says something we disagree with and we decide to "put him in place" with a strong criticism. In this situation, we have some stop factors, albeit very small. We may be shy, we may have awe of this person, and we may be worried about the reaction of other people who are witnesses to our conversation. In short, there may appear a bump in the road. This does not help us much because it is a technical stop, not an aware stop. In this case, we are talking about when someone criticizes a third person (most often someone absent: this person may be criticizing politicians, a football team, a person who is not present and many more). Now we have no impulse to criticize the person in front of us but to join this person’s criticism and make it our own. Most people join foreign critics because this is the easiest option for them, as the subject of criticism is most often out of the conversation and cannot defend himself. The other alternative would be to challenge the criticism expressed by the
interlocutor. This is an example of the connection between the First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word and the Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to overshadow your smile." How do we not allow the darkness to overshadow our smile? Through understanding and Awareness. How Is Awareness achieved? Through silence. Occult Rule: "Do not absorpt the dusk nor reflect it. Transform it into the Light of Understanding. The Third Choice. " What do we need to understand? The fact that people dedicated to criticism are not particularly interested in our opinion. They do not criticize others to convince us in their rightfulness. They do it for themselves, not for us. In most cases, our response is not expected. Even more - we are expected to listen carefully because this is an opportunity for the critic to appear. This is his theatrical performance and he is looking for an audience. Otherwise, if there is no audience, to whom will he express his criticism? If anyone else starts to criticize others, we have to grant him our silence. Let him talk. Instead of rebuking him for not being right or becoming his choir, we can make the Third Choice - to give him our smile of understanding. Silence and a smile. Let us then analyze this person and ask ourselves why he criticized. Where exactly was his Soul ill? What mistakes he had made to reach this state? We have already mentioned that, in case of violation of the Rule: “Do not criticize” (which is part of the First Principle: Be Flawless in the Word), we can correct it by applying the other Six Principles. It is possible to correct the Rule: “Do not criticize” with the First Principle itself. This happens by giving ourselves to the Truth. How do we fight the pressing criticism in this case? Just by telling the Truth. Unadulterated. Neutral. No personal attitude. No harmful thoughts and burning emotions. In addition to loquacity and claptrap, criticism has other supporters: slander and sarcasm. We often hear someone to slander about a person who is not present at the moment, thinking that the slandering will not reach this person. But everything is recorded in the archives of the Universe, and every word is paid. By slander, we make a choice. An agreement. We agree to see the negative in people. So automatically, if they are not awakened, they begin to see the negative in us. This is an enchanted circle. That why there are people who constantly complain, that people are harassing them and they want to find peace at last... If you want to be "invisible" to the problems, choose for every single person you know, one good quality of this person, to think about. This person will also have negative qualities. But we will choose to think only about the positive ones. This way of thinking makes the "contact". Makes the connection. Sarcasm is a covert critique. Expression of dissatisfaction. The dissatisfied person has no right to develop and his movement stops. If you are unhappy, how can you appreciate what you have? And if you cannot appreciate what you have, how can you want more? How can you want to move forward? Dissatisfaction is giving in to desires, namely, they are who divert a person from the Flame. The graceful one develops Awareness and sees the world in a different way at several levels. He knows that his desire is not important, but the will of the One, and that without a will, you can never achieve what you want, and even if you do - it will be poor and will not give you what you expected. Another ally of criticism is hatred. Where there is accumulating criticism, a sense of hatred is formed. And when someone keeps hate in their hearts, he displays this hatred
through criticism directed at the object of his hatred. When we forgive, hate melts and criticism disappears. To overcome criticism must become incapable of even the slightest evil and the most microscopic hatred. This happens through forgiveness. Exercise: We can make a list of people towards which we have experienced dislike and those who in their own turn have thought us evil and apply the following formula (3 repetitions): "(Name of a person), I give you my unconditional Love, I forgive you, forgive me too". We must be consistent and apply the Formula every day and the effects will be present. Hate is a defect that is on the surface of the human heart. When a person awakens the Flame within himself, the hatred disappears. It is forgiveness that is the way to develop the personal Power. Whoever walks along the Path must correctly apply forgiveness. If we want to understand correctly the criticism that comes out of us, it is also important how we accept it. When we are criticized, we do not have to retaliate and allow a chain reaction to begin. Neither can we afford to accept criticism in our hearts. Instead, we must listen to it carefully and understand the message of the Soul of that person, not the one of his mind. Often someone attacks us sharply and his mind is hostile, but his Soul secretly asks us for help... Criticism very often, as we have already said, comes from the ingratitude and dissatisfaction of those who do not appreciate and do not realize what they have. So these people start to constantly complain. For them, someone is guilty: friends, relatives, superiors, politicians, and who else not. Complaining people carry a highly contagious disease. This disease is very easily addictive and easily attracts the weakkneed people and they start to join in and complain. The dissatisfied lose the Path. How can you be dissatisfied and want to grow spiritually? Everyone wants to improve, but this happens step by step. Gradually, methodically, with will and understanding. And with gratitude to all that is offered to us. The following Formula is recommended: "Ahaar, I am grateful for this day as well." One more day we see the Sun. One more day we breathe and we are alive. To acquire more, you first have to realize deeply what you really have. Very often, people even meet themselves "for a cup of coffee" to spread this harmful disease. The Occult Student should not be allowed to contribute to the disease. He must avoid falling into the company of eternally complaining people since they are Souls who have temporarily stopped their evolution and are waiting to be reevaluated and distributed. And if someone complains to us, let's face him by telling him all the things we are happy in our lives. All the things that have happened to us and which we are grateful for. In this way, we give a personal example, without intruding and teaching that person, that he should be grateful too. The "Do not criticize" rule is just one of the Rules that make up the First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word." The Seven Principles are inextricably linked. Each Principle contains several Rules. Overcoming a defect is through the implementation of all Seven Principles for dealing with a rule, such as "Do not criticize." Here are some practical ways to overcome criticism: Preventive actions. Do not let yourself fall into a situation where others are wrong, just to tell them they are wrong. Instruct them before they make a mistake. A good
shepherd guides his flock skillfully so it never reaches the edge of the abyss. The shepherd does not let the flock go alone. He goes along with it and teaches it before it makes a mistake. If we only wait for someone to make mistakes, just so that we can show to others how much we are doing by criticizing him, this is the Ego rising over the Spirit, and in the long run, it will cost us a complete failure. Overcoming criticism always starts with awareness of the spiritual duty we have for humanity. This is spiritual maturity, leading to Awareness. Thus, this method of preventive resolution of the problem corresponds to the Fifth Principle: "Take a position before every single moment." The idea of this Principle is not to be in the present. Sometimes we are in the present, but we are so committed to what is happening now that we miss the obvious thing that is about to happen the next moment. This Principle tells us that we must overtake the moment. Do not allow the danger to reach us. Problems are best solved before they come to our home. Be awake. Look at yourself and find out where you can stumble and just take a different path... Achieving Awareness by analyzing past mistakes and criticism. The way to overcome a rule is hidden in Awareness and Awakeness. Together, they result Flawlessness. Awareness refers to the analysis of the past, and Awakeness to observing the present moment. First, we have to start working on our Awareness. Let us try to recall in full any case in which we have criticized someone or he has criticized us. What was the obvious reason? What was the hidden reason? Why the person felt offended? Did our emotions keep us from seeing reality? Where are we criticizing someone because we wanted him or her to correct a mistake, to grow spiritually, or simply because we wanted to feel better, to stand out in front of others? When we analyze where we made mistakes by making criticisms, let's try to imagine an example of alternative scenarios. Someone has made a mistake and we have criticized. Let us now imagine how we could help him in the right way. How could we make a remark instead of criticism? When would it be good to do it? Immediately after having made a mistake or was it better to wait strategically to give the person a chance to become aware of himself? If the mistakes that have we made with criticism can be corrected, let's talk again with these people and correct our own mistakes, by bringing things in front of them the right way. Remark - accurate and constructive. Strategically grounded. Based on unconditional brotherly/sisterly love. After we analyze why we have criticized someone in the past and correcting these mistakes, we must not let them be repeated. The next more difficult step is Awakeness. We have already analyzed ourselves and our criticism of the distant past, have we understood what has escaped us? We have developed Awareness. We now remain to be Awake, so that we do not let ourselves be enthralled and before we think of launching hundreds of criticisms that can bring us karma, stumble someone in his spiritual development. Developing Awakeness, by not allowing the compilation of opinions. How to develop Awakeness? How to protect yourself from reckless criticism? To get the Key to these issues, let's find out what criticism really is. It is an opinion. A confident, hasty opinion. So do not be in a hurry to draw opinions. The world is so dynamic, that what seems to you right now as "white", can turn "dark" tomorrow. What is great today can be diminished tomorrow. So do not draw your opinion. The drawn opinion is a halffinished criticism. Every criticism begins its life as a conscious opinion. How can we avoid creating an opinion? By constantly watching everything around us. Watch constantly and you will see that everything changes. Perhaps the correct opinion today will be wrong tomorrow. When someone shares opinions, watch them constantly without accepting or rejecting the opinions. Do not let others' opinions to yourself, just
allow them to get closer to you, so you can look at them carefully and in detail. But do not make them a part of yourself. If one criticizes something fiercely, we must immediately be able to see the other side of the coin. To see and look for the good sides of what our interlocutor criticizes. Then we have to search for the Third Bank of the River. The hidden one, the one which is not visible to the naked eye. Occupied with this search, the making of opinions stays far from us. If we do not make an opinion, there will be no criticism either. Method of transformation of the criticism in the search for answers (transforming communication sentences into questions). Another method of developing Awakeness and avoiding criticism is alternative speech or silence. The alternative speech is to transform the communication sentences into questions. What is criticism? Opinion. Statement of views. A series of communication sentences. Let's turn this around by asking questions to better understand the person against us. It is questions that indicate where a person is aiming for. If we criticizing, there is something we do not understand. This should be made clear to us. We must realize that we do not understand this person and try to understand what exactly we do not understand. Our interlocutor has acted in a way which we do not approve and we begin to criticize. Obviously, the person has had a reason - obvious or hidden, reasonable or not. We have not understood it. Let's ask neutrally. "Why did you do that? What made you do that? What is your motivation to do that?" With questions, we are searching, and while we are still searching, we cannot build our opinions. And there is no criticism. Criticism is when we do not want to accept something, something we did not like, and we want to express this dislike. Actually, it is difficult to say that we do not like something. It is more mature not to take the position: "I do not like it," but "I do not understand it completely..." This is the technique of "transforming the communication sentences into questions". Not allowing criticism and seeking understanding through silence. As for silence, this is another powerful technique. Someone does something we do not like and we immediately start thinking of what to say to put him in his place. Let's show who's commanding the parade. Who's the Boss. The right question is not what to say. There is a better question: "Is there anything to be said at all?" Yes, if we are silent, our ego, our mind, will not be able to eat and will remain hungry. There will be no "boss", the one who commands the parade. Let us know that there is no need to criticize or to put someone in his place. He is already in "his place". Exactly where he is, and exactly in that way, with all the right and wrong things he says and does. The One (God) has put him there for one reason or another. The One is the commander of the parade, not us. Before we begin to interfere with His thoughts, we have to ask ourselves whether we really do not miss seeing something in this picture. When we open our eyes and see that, yes - the person in front of us is confused, but still, everything is right - we understand, that we do not need to intervene with unnecessary words and this way the criticism fails and there is no ground for it to grow. As final words, I will give you one of the most important keys. Whether we try to overcome the rule of non-criticism or other rules such as "Do not lie", "Do not be tempted", etc., the key remains always the same - Unconditional Love to yourself and others. This is the basis for understanding the Rules and the Principles. Another major key is Awareness of our great responsibility. Although not everyone can reach the level of Adept in this life, each of us has a great responsibility for the spiritual development of mankind. Standing in the Dawn of the Sixth Solar Race, each of us has a role to play.
Becoming aware of our personal significance as part of the whole, and realizing our responsibility, which we bear, largely contributes to a more complete understanding of the Seven Principles and to the observance of the Universal Rules and Laws. Therefore, the personal overcoming of some defects is not only personal, but also part of the whole, because the more we progress, the better we can help the others, and so we all move forward together as brothers and sisters. UR Brotherly, Moriel Yamanu School of the Black Brotherhood, May, 2018.
PART TWO: FLAWLESSNESS AND DEFECTS IN THE WORD First Principle:”Be Flawless in your words.” Second Principle:”Leave everything that is unnecessary.” Third Principle:”Turn your mind into a sun.” Fourth Principle:”Work with what is invisible for the others.” Fifth Principle:”Take a position before every single moment.” Sixth Principle:”From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, kindle a fire. From the flowers extract the honey.” Seventh Principle:”Don’t let the dusk cast shadow over your smile.”
“Be Flawless in the Word.”
In the First Principle there are Three Keys: "Be," "Flawless" and "Word".
First Key: “Be” It is no coincidence that the First Key of the First Principle, the way this whole "chain" begins, is precisely “Be”. This Key puts the question "who are you". Who are you, who walked this Path? On the Path of the Teaching and the Seven Principles? Who are you? You will say a name. But you are not your name. Who are you? You will say what profession you have, what you are doing. But you are not your craft. Who are you? Who are you really? How much are you Aware? You will say, "I am a Christian," "I'm a Buddhist," but that's not you again. These are just labels. The religion does not matter, but whether the Flame is awakened. It's important how close you are to the Flame, and
not what labels you put on. If you carry a label, you cannot be anything else and there can be no change. How can you be in Nothingness if you are only "here" or just "there"? How can you know God if you are with this religion and against other religions? Are not all religions given for one purpose - to learn to love the One? This Key implies that you cannot be Flawless, nor have a Word unless you ARE. The right question is not who you ARE, but whether you ARE. Most people simply ARE not. When a person awakens and becomes an Occult Student, he begins to Be. It acquires an identity, while the rest of the people have only personality, no identity. They do not have a Center. They do not have the Flame. They have not yet made the Choice. They have not yet reached so far, to be among the Chosen. To "Be" is when the mind gives way to the Intention, and the Flame awakens. To "Be" appears after "not to be". First is the Flame (The Absolute). This is Nothingness. Then, from the Flame, a transformation is made (through the Pre-Element Chaos) to Water. (See Book of Absolute Dark - Elements). The Pre-Element Water is the manifestation. Then you're going to "Be". When you move from Zero to the One. Then we have a transition from the Uncreated to "Be". To "Be" is when you give a new meaning to your life and you have a mission greater than your own life. To "Be" is like the first tone of a song. It gives the whole sound and atmosphere. If this tone does not exist, the following Principles cannot be mastered. There will be no harmony. There will be no tonality. To "Be" is when you head to the Flame and turn your back to the shadows. As you refuse to awaken the Flame in yourself and walk through the Shadows, it always happens "not to be". You will not have an identity. Continuing to the line "Be Flawless" we understand the meaning. If we do not "Be" then who is Flawless? First, you have to "Be". It is important to understand that to "Be" does not mean to be yourself, but to be the Flame in yourself. If you are just yourself, your personality, you will be conquered by your mind, and it will dictate to you what to do. This will spoil your whole life. To "Be" also speaks of the dream of the whole human race, and that it is about time that man awoke from this dream and begun to be, the one who he is and not following the illusions of the world: “And told them Ahaar: “Our time has come. Our mission has begun. We are descendants of the Ancient Black Brotherhood. We are the Black Water which shall overflow the worlds. The Black Brotherhood is united, indivisible and impenetrable like the Black Water. Here and now starts the wave that shall overflow everything. This wave is the Black Wisdom which shall travel all over the World. You yourselves are this wave. Carry the Teachings of the Black Brotherhood everywhere with you. Erase and sink everything dry. And to the people in which life is flowing – instead of being dried up by mind, fear, and prejudices – you give the Black Wisdom to protect them. To save them. But strange thing man is. The human system obsesses him so much that he completely forgets about himself and his spiritual essence. Nowadays man doesn’t even believe in the existence of the spiritual. People are born and still, from the beginning are being thought what they should be in conformity with the society. How to behave in conformity with the society. What to believe in, conforming with the society. What they should do in order to be liked by the community. They study in schools and universities how to be more useful for the society. Start to work a job they don’t like. People think that they work for themselves. But actually, they work for the society. With the money earned, influenced by advertisements and other people, they buy things they don’t need. And man no longer wants to have only the necessary for his life, according to his own needs. He wants to have the things the others have, to live better than them. He can see
for himself that this is the true, real life and in tough times he comforts himself with the notion that everyone lives the same way. Then man grows old and before leaving the material world, realizes that he doesn’t know what comes next and his former selfconfidence fades away. He realizes that the material benefits cannot follow him. He starts to ask himself whether he was a good man, was he loved, what has he really done in his life, what has he left. Questions without an answer. These questions are killing man from the inside and are shortening his short life anyway. He’s got no other option, but to comfort himself that he’s got children. Animals got it too. Everyone can have it, but not everyone can create successor. And does he have anything from himself to give to that successor? Man realizes the deep and dreadful truth that he hasn’t had a conscious life. He has missed it. All his life he has served the society, which he hated. Man realizes that he is neither his house nor his car or money. Man is a lot more, but he hasn’t fulfilled himself. Man is not happy. He doesn’t even remember anymore what he wanted to be when he was young. When he had strength and energy and was able to choose his life before the society tightens him up in its deadly grip. To make him think and fear, and then to blame him and take away his freedom. I’m telling you all this, cause you’ll have to work with people. Some of them are dry and will be erased. Others are still alive, and it’s your duty to give them the Truth. The Truth that will protect them. The Truth that will save them. The Truth that will give them a new life. The Truth that will give them a new chance. A chance to participate in the building of a New World. World of Truth. World of the Black Eagle.” Book of the New Aeon: 3 To "Be" speaks of this awakening described above, in which man awakens from the collective dream of the World and understands that he has lived in illusions. This is also the Mission of the Black Adepts - to awaken the people from their sleep and to heal them from the diseases of the mind. It is the diseases of the mind that cause imbalance. Diseases like fear, misunderstanding, constant expectation and lack of action, criminal thinking, anger, and criticism ... Once awakened, it is time to remove the superfluous elements in our Reality, to remove the illusions of our lives. So what will remain will be Flawless.
Second Key: “Flawless” Be Flawless, also means "Be God". Be like God. How can you become a god? By stopping to be just a man of the world. This is by turning off the mind and opening the door to Intention and your deep consciousness. Namely, ”Be Flawless" tells you not to be yourself. Do not be the person but be godlike. How do we become Flawless? Let's translate occultly the very word " Flawless ". Flaw-less. Flaw is to be natural. Less. To have less unnecessaries. When there is no reproach, there is no one to tell you a bad word. There's no reason to tell you a bad word. There are no words from others. Everyone is silent and listens to you. Translated occultly: "He who has no darkness in his Soul." (To interpret Flawless letter by letter). If we magically interpret the word Flawless, we will get the following: "God sends Lucifer to bring man to temptation, and so some will be forever shut in the trap of their mind, while others will penetrate the essence of the test and will continue to spread Knowledge of men and they will, in turn, continue this tradition." So everyone will cross the bridge of the river, into the new Solar Race. Let's explain. F is Father/God, L-Light and A-Asp, W is the Wave, the movement of Light. In these first four letters, we see how God sets
the mission of Lucifer. God chooses it. God sets the mission of the Serpent to go into the garden and tempt man to be able to evolve. How else can he get to know God? Here are the next letters LESS. The Storm of Chaos. It is also the chaos that occurs in the mind when it encounters the unknown. Some people are completely lost in this trial and they are shutting down, putting on their lids. From there, there is no way to evolve. Others succeed in overcoming the Serpent's temptations by penetrating the essence of the problem (S - spear, a spear that pierces, this is the Sharpness, see the Book of the Chosen Ones- Sharpness). Those who pass the trial go to the last letters NESS. The Secret Knowledge, which God, through the Serpent-Lucifer, transmits to the man. After passing the trial, man has proved worthy of receiving this Knowledge and has understood that the idea of the Secret Knowledge is to be passed on to others. At the same time, man understands that the transmission of Knowledge is connected with the placement of Spiritual Trials. When man realizes this process of continuing the occult tradition, we can all together cross the river of time and cross the bridge to a new dimension - the Sixth Solar Race. The very word "Flawlessness" has 12 letters. The first four letters are God's purpose. The last four are humanity. The middle is the way the One (God) communicates with man - through trials. That is why it is said that God tests the ones He loves. Of these middle letters originates the word exercise. Exercise is preparation for the Trial. Training for Flawlessness. Another important thing in the last letters is that when one consciously accepts being taught by the One, the person will always be surrounded by Light (L). When man does not consciously take the exercise (E), only the (SS) remains. So begins the word "issue". That's why many people say they have a lot of issues. Because they do not want to walk the Path consciously and are still trying to divert. The issue may also be a "cause". The trial "L" is the reason for a man to have access to the Light of Knowledge. "L" can also be a "Lesson". So the One gives his lesson - by sending you a Storm to determine who is worthy and who - not. Flawlessness is the result of the gathering of Awareness and Awakeness. If we have to say it in the Hermetic tongue - Awareness is "to know", and Awakeness is "to be able". (Hermetic doctrine - "Know, laugh, ask, keep silent.") Flawlessness is achieved when no mistakes are made. To make no mistakes, the mind must be transformed into reason. ”The third and most dangerous enemy is your own mind. Your thoughts. There is a difference between thinking and reasoning. The first is wandering, and it calls for fears, it works with guesses, it lets doubts in, and it stuns your movements. The reason essentially uses one of its eyes to watch over the path, and it keeps the other eye on the goal on the horizon. The mind keeps both of its eyes on its own feet, and this is why every next step of the path is a mystery, and it spikes fear. Thinking and reasoning go on the same path, but they walk it in a different manner. Walking on a dark trail in the forest the mind is activated, and it starts to wonder:”What if I get lost? What if I get attacked by bandits? What If I don’t survive? How would I find food? I don’t see anything in the darkness! What is that in the distance? What if it is a beast?” ”The reason does not guess, it knows, and if it doesn’t know – it analyses. The reason has got into account that it would be on the road and it has a map, so it doesn’t get lost; it has armed itself in case of an attack; it has taken a light, so it doesn’t get lost in the darkness. In case of danger, reason knows that there is a chance of being killed, but it doesn’t focus on that. Rather it focuses on the steps that it needs to take in order
to survive. It gives its best, and it accepts the possibility of failure. The mind concentrates on the failure and does not give any opportunity for success when not controlled.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 6, 7 Flawlessness is achieved when it embraces your whole life. It cannot be shown only occasionally or when it is convenient for you. Life in the Flame is life in Flawlessness, and the Seven Principles are the guide of the seeker and also form the Rightness. When the mind is gone, everything will come naturally and with ease. If there is tension, ask yourself what is happening. Are you deviating and going to make a mistake? Whoever is constant in the Flame cannot make mistakes. Whoever does not tolerate deviations from the Principles is in Flawlessness. The Return Point to the Homeland. Flawlessness is not something that is attained once, and then for life, we reap the fruits of our labor. Flawlessness is achieved with consistency, and when it is achieved it must be kept constant because it can be lost at any moment. For our Flawlessness, we must keep watch as for our own lives. Sometimes even more. We must direct our Intention to the constant search for Flawlessness at all times. Exercises for Flawlessness: 1. Let's start by drawing straight angles. Once we are successful, we begin to draw squares. The next step is to draw an equilateral triangle with a 60-degree angle. The next step is to draw a circle. We have to draw it until we have acquired perfection. Another figure we can train is the spiral - clockwise and counterclockwise; out and inward. All combinations. All exercises described above need to be trained a number of times - 10, 100, 1000... It is good to train to draw with both hands. 2. Let's write one of the Formulas we train, again a whole number of times: 10, 100, 1000... For example, " Wherever the Flame is, I am there too." 3. Make an occult program: Every day, with no exceptions whether we are sick or healthy, whether it is a day off or a working day or a holiday. Every day we should do some occult activity at a specific time. Let's say we choose at 6.00 every morning to do the two exercises with the drawing described above. Or a Ritual Practice... 4. Another useful exercise is to plant a flower in a pot and take care of it every day. This presupposes perseverance, and perseverance is a path to Flawlessness. 5. A useful exercise is to practice archery. 6. Exercise for Awareness as a Path to Flawlessness: Read occult books, occult papers, read the opinions and speeches of different personalities in the occult and social and all sorts of topics, and take notes, where these people make mistakes in the Seven Principles and other Occult Rules. Let us, then, as far as possible, trace the cause-and-effect relationship in the life of this public or other people. Granted error in a Principle, action or words - what are the consequences? What were the reasons for the misunderstanding? 7.Exercise for Awakeness as a Path to Flawlessness: A very useful exercise is to learn to walk along the beam (lever, rope, any narrow surface). Every step is special and unique. 8. Another Exercise for Awakeness is to walk through the forest at night. There is a very special exercise. It is the following: we enter the forest during the day. We wait for nightfall. Then we have two choices: either to spend the night there in the darkness of the forest, alone or to go back through the darkness without the use of any lighting. This exercise develops multiple Magic Skills.
Third Key: “Word” The Word is the voice that begins to speak in you only after the mind is asleep. The mind cannot bear the Word. The mind creates words, but not the Word. The words are something that comes out of us but does not necessarily reach the goal. The Word will not necessarily be through words. It always reaches as a ray of light to the purpose of its Intention. It is said that at the beginning was the Word. And what was before the Word before the beginning? Thus, "to be Flawless" is before each Word. From here we can draw the Occult Rule: "First become a Sun and then speak." Translated, first acquire the Truth, become a Flame and then you can talk to people. From the very order of the Keys, we see that the Word is not the "beginning," but the result of Flawlessness. This means that the Word is not something that is rightfully given to you, but it is achieved through Flawless Actions. It is not set in you, and it is given to you as a gift only when you deserve it. Be Flawless to gain the Word. When you achieve the Word, you no longer speak from yourself, but from the Flame in you. The Word is not something you have. It is something that is used if you are a servant to the Flame. Who Serves the Truth: “On the fourth day, Akh Tashib came out on the top of the Pyramid. Before the stairs, there were only a few people. And so Akh Tashib spoke to them: “The Truth does not offer enlightenment. The Truth does not offer reward. The Truth does not offer food. The knowledge, the science, the wealth, and all foods are poor and useless without Truth. The Truth is in seeking not in finding. Those who chose to climb the Pyramid know this – there is neither glory nor reward. Only suffering and sleepless nights of searching.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Word: 6 Exercises for the Word: (Here are some more external dimensions of the Word). 1. Let's learn by heart the Twenty-seven Keys given in Chapter Keys from the Book of the Chosen Ones. Let's be able to repeat each of the Keys, all in a consistent and out of order way. 2. Let's train the storytelling of parables, fables, and fairy tales. Telling parables, fables and fairy tales to children and sacralizing is useful for both sides. 3. Let's work with our Occult Brothers and Sisters to train short lectures (5-10 minutes) on topics that everyone has prepared in advance. 4. The next stage of the previous exercise is for everyone to deliver a lecture on a subject that has not been prepared. 5. Let's find out for every person with whom we have contact, a good quality that the person has and think about it. Thus we associate with the Souls of Men. It is the principle of the Word - to be like the Sun. 6. There is one special exercise for the Word: to go to live alone in nature (in a cave, by a river, in the mountain or a forest). You must have no contact with anybody (either in person or by any means of communication). For at least three days do not even make any sounds. Absolutely none: Do not hum, do not sing, do not mutter or speak to yourself. After the third day, you can start working on Rituals, Magic Words of Power and Spells, Formulas, Occult Musical Exercises, and more. This exercise unlocks hidden powers and qualities and gives Magic Power.
Links between the Three Keys Once we have looked at each Key separately, we should also look at the combinations between the individual Keys. Be Flawless. Be the Word. Flawless Word. "Be the Word", can be translated occultly as "reach the goal", "reach your needs". The Word is like the Power. It is not something permanent but must be called. To be deliberately summoned. The Word appears with a specific task and then disappears. Being Flawless, we absorb the gift of the Flame to be conductors of the Word. These are not our words. Our words come from the mind. Achieving the Flawlessness, we have already put our mind to sleep and we have become clean enough to be conductors. Thus the Flame chooses to speak through us and reach the Chosen. Being the Word does not always mean that you have to have words, to speak. The Word is the message of Antiquity. Sometimes this message happens silently - telepathically, sometimes through just a look or a smile. Sometimes it comes suddenly and unexpectedly as a "premonition." Sometimes it appears in our dreams. Being the Word means always reaching to the Heart of Things. To reach the souls of men. To have the Word reach to the Souls, you must have a secret approach. To approach with Unconditional Love. Then you will always reach everyone. "Be Flawless" - for this purpose you should disappear. Do not leave a trace of yourself. Forget yourself totally and allow the Flame to be through you. Forget yourself as "I" and become a Flame. To do this, you must serve Unconditionally to the Flame, and not only when it pleases you. The Service to the Flame does not manifest when everything in your life is tidy and the sun shines over your home. The Service to the Flame is proven when a storm comes and sweeps away your whole life. Only in this storm, you can truly choose the Flame. Only in this storm, the Flame can choose you. When the storm destroys you, then only the Flame will remain. Then you will be Flawless because the mind will no longer be. Only then you can move on to the Word. Flawlessness is achieved with muteness and silence, not with words. "Flawless Word" - this is when we serve only the Truth. Flawlessness in the Word cannot be a goal. It is a gift only to those who only labor for the Truth. The first step is to crave for the Truth from within. The second step is to seek for the Truth tirelessly. The third step is to become one with the search and not need anything else. The fourth step is when the Truth finds us. The fifth step is when we become one with the Truth and it speaks through us. Whoever gets there will understand the next steps. “Night will fall, and famine will gnaw you in it. Only the Truth will feed you.” “The essence of the Truth is in Searching, but the Truth is never found – it just happens.” “You are smart and think logically. But the Truth is simple and devoid of all logic.” “The Truth is not the opposite of lie but the measure of you for the Flame.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Words: 20, 22, 25, 30 Flawlessness in the Word is the Sword that is given only to the Warriors of Truth. A sword is a weapon that is given to the Warriors who serve the Flame so they can perform their service with it. The Sword never belongs entirely to the Warrior. The Warrior's Sword is the Truth. The spear of the Warrior is the Intention. The Sword cuts and the spear pierces. The Truth cuts the Darkness in two and opens a Path that can be followed,
just as Moses has divided the Red Sea into two. The Spear is more special. The Spear pierces the Darkness and allows only the Seeker to pass through this point and no one else can follow him. Both methods (of the Sword and of the Spear) are applicable to traveling through shadows (see Book of the Legacy - Shadows). It is no coincidence that Adaat Chichik's weapon is a spear, not a sword: “Two out of Nine. Second Elder. His name was Adaat Chichik. The Grandfather of Storms. Adaat Chichik was a warrior unsurpassed in brawl because he created war. Adaat Chichik was secretive and mysterious. Therefore common people didn’t even suspect his mystical abilities. Warriors that met him on the battlefield always felt his overflowing strength just as the fisherman smells the coming storm. Should someone challenge him, the eyes of Adaat Chichik turned to lightning bolts, his movements were a flash, and his voice became a rumble of thunder. The edge of his spear was made of black stone received by the Guardian of the Race. With the spear, he had sent three hundred and sixty warriors to the depths of the earth and made their souls serve him day and night. As his feats piled up, he alone chose to live in modesty and solitude. He lived in the heart of the jungle where no human had ever set foot, and the trees were so impenetrable that sunlight could not reach.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 1 The Flawless Word is the Way of the Warriors. This is to fight every day, every second. To fight for every word, as if it were your last word. Protect your words like your own eyes. The Adept values the Truth more than his own life. If there is no Truth in your life, are you really alive? Or are you just asleep and you just think you live? People sleep while wandering around the world. Life begins with the Truth. “The Path to the Supreme Darkness goes through the Abyss. The bridge that goes over the Abyss is narrow, and only those who are one with the Flame and had become Truth itself can pass. A single wrong thought, a single wrong word, a single wrong action and you will fall over and know that there is no bottom. You will be judged for your thinking. The fall from the top of the Pyramid requires only a single wrong thought.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Words: 39
If the Three Keys are joined, you can get a message of a clear nature: "Be careful what you say." Be careful over every word, make no mistake. How can we be Flawless in our words? With silence. With muteness. From here, we can also extract the Occult Rule: "Be Silent in the Silence." Why in the Silence? If you're silent, but in your mind, you're transferring variants and options at a frantic pace, you're actually not silent. Words just do not come out of your mouth, but your mind rages. “Before you learn to speak masterly, learn to be silent correctly. And not just to be silent, my friend. But to be silent in the Silence.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 82 “I am the sower – you are the land. The responsibility is mine to bear – my duty is to all of you. The one who knows – be silent. The one who doesn’t know – be silent and listen. Only the one who understands may speak.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 2
Links of the First Principle with the Other Principles A link between the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word) and the Second Principle (Leave Everything that is Unnecessary). Many occult translations are possible here. “Be Flawless in everything”. Interpretation: In order to acquire the Word, you must seek Flawlessness in every action (or conscious inaction), in every word, and every thought. Only who puts the Truth and the Flame above everything else and above himself can acquire Flawlessness. Full dedication is required. Therefore, Be Flawless in everything means: Give away all that you have to serve the Flame, and then you will receive Flawlessness. What does it mean to give everything? Give your heart to the Flame. Love only the Flame. Give your mind to the Flame - think only of the Flame. Give your Soul to the Flame - always aim only at the Flame. Give all that you have to the Flame and then you will receive a Mission. It is to be Flawless in everything - when you give unconditionally, without asking, without expecting. When you serve only the Flame. This is the Path of Flawlessness, and Flawlessness transforms the Occult Student into Adept. “ Leave unnecessary words.” Interpretation: When speaking, do not say anything superfluous. If there are words only for decoration, and such that "do not reach the goal", this is a defect and we lose Flawlessness. Any excess word slows us down to reach the goal. The excess word is like a detour along the road, which is a dead end. We must get to the end of it and then go back until we get to the Path. When there is going back and forth, it means that we are not ready to abandon the shore at all and sail inward into the ocean looking for the horizon. Our choice is still not final. There is wandering, unnecessary words, then correction. In this wandering Intention is lost and remains its distant shadow - the quest. That is why the Occult Student practices silence. But not just to be silent, but to be pithily silent. Only a few people know how to be silent. People who feel strange to each other are uncomfortable to sit against each other in silence. They feel uncomfortable, and they have to speak something most often nothing essential, just gibberish, otherwise it is unpleasant for them. This is how you recognize people who are close one to another - they can stand together and keep silent, and this silence is pleasing them... The words are not the ones that converge, but the Silence among the people. In Silence is born true friendship, the true brotherhood. “ Be the surplus.” Interpretation: Be what's left after the storm. Be the one who passes the trials. After each trial, you lose part of your personality, part of your mind, part of your wrong thoughts. At the same time, you get more and more pieces of your hidden identity. The Word is not always expressed in words. Sometimes it also occurs in a silent manner. Words, in turn, are rarely the Word. The Word is deeply hidden in words, but it cannot be realized because of the many excess words and defects in our speech. In order to obtain the Word, we must remove the excess. In the Book of the Chosen Ones, Chapter "Words," Master Ah Tashib sends a stranger, a merchant and an old woman to tempt the people so that there can remain only the purest. Only the worthy that he can afford to bring into the Pyramid and teach them in the secrets of the Word. Thus Ah Tasib removes the excess. “Akh Tashib came out on the top of the Pyramid and spoke to the masses. He spoke for the Teachings of the Black Brotherhood and for the Ancient times. Everyone stood
silent and listened carefully. In the crowd there came a stranger who whispered to the people that Akh Tashib is a fraud and his teachings are wrong, that he sought to enchant the people. The stranger promised knowledge and enlightenment himself. Many believed this stranger and followed him trusting the promise. He led them away from the Pyramid. Their path weaved through mounts and canyons. They finally reached a rope bridge that led to the other side of the canyon, and under the bridge, there was a huge drop. The stranger agilely crossed the bridge, but as the masses stepped on the bridge, they realized the unavoidable truth. There was no bridge, and they all perished in the abyss. Only the stranger survived. On the following day, Akh Tashib came out on the top of the Pyramid once more and spoke about the Homeland and the Legacy. The masses were thinned from the day before, and those that were missing were already forgotten, and nobody spoke of them. Then from the crowd stepped forward a merchant who urged the people to not listen to Akh Tashib, nor to waste their time with useless things. He offered immediate highly-paid work, and so many left the Pyramid and the Elder and followed the merchant. Their path weaved through a dense forest, and instead of the promised work and payment, the people were attacked by rogues who robbed them and slit their throats. No one survived but the mysterious merchant. On the third day, Akh Tashib came out on the top of the pyramid to speak once again. Not many listeners were there anymore. Akh Tashib spoke once more about the Masters and the Truth. This time the listeners were visited by an old woman. She promised free food for the hungry. Those she tempted left the pyramid and followed her. They were fed by the old woman, but the food she gave them was poisoned, and they fell lifeless only after a few pours. On the fourth day, Akh Tashib came out on the top of the Pyramid. Before the stairs, there were only a few people...” Book of the Chosen Ones - Words: 3-6 Link between the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word) and the Third Principle (Turn Your Mind into the Sun). Possible occult translations: “ Turn the Word into the Sun.” Interpretation: Make so that others understand your words. Do not speak incomprehensibly to others. Be like a Sun - with your rays reach the people you talk to. Typical is the example of people who know so much, and so much they can do, but cannot explain it in plain language. Thus, there is no transfer of knowledge, but only empty words - words that remain misunderstood. In a more practical sense, do not just talk to make a conversation. Keep an eye on whether the person against you perceives your words and how he perceives them in order to be able to correct yourself. Speak, but at the same time watch carefully if what you say remains in the minds of others. This is the Word - when there is contact. A Secret Connection between the Souls. What helps the Word to reach? The Intention. “The Intention is always determined. It is the growth of the Flower. You don’t see the growth, but only the final result. Growth cannot be seen yet you know it’s there. You know it’s happening.” Book of the Absolute Darkness - Intention: 6
In a practical sense, explain to everyone in the way they can understand you. The poet speaks poetically, the scientist - scientifically, the peasant - simply. Do not be yourself in your words. Be the Soul of man in your words. Do not think what you want to say, in order to feel in a certain way, but what the man in front of you will understand and how it will help him. So there will always be "reaching". As the sun reaches everyone. “ Be Flawless in your thoughts.” Interpretation: The first step in mastering all Principles is to clean up the actions. Then comes the control over the wrong words. Mastering our thoughts is the most difficult. You do not do any harm to anyone. You do not speak evil. But all the time you blame and criticize others. This way you lose the Center. You lose the Flame and your Word is taken away - you lose your access to it. The above translation implies that in order to be Flawless in the Word, we must first be Flawless in our thoughts. If an evil thought occurs, do not try to chase it. Just start thinking about someone you love very much. You love unconditionally. Think of his or her good features, valuable moments spent together, and the moments we would like to spend together in the future. In principle, wandering in the non-existent future is harmful, but in the event of evil thoughts, nothing holds our minds out of thoughts of good future moments with a loved one. Another tactic is to devote ourselves to targeted and planned actions on our Mission. Actions for which we are aware of their importance and undoubtedly accepted their importance. So we do not give the field of expression of evil thoughts and they cannot put roots in us. Formula: "Adaat Chichik, sweep away all my wrong thoughts like a hurricane." Formula: “Ahaar, teach me to think and act like a Sun.” Exercise: Choose 10 different Formulas in a preliminary plan to repeat only once (or at most three times) and in a specific sequence. Once we finish with one formula, we move instantly to the next one. This may be 10 Formulas about our acquaintances. For example: "(Name), I give you your unconditional Love, I forgive you - forgive me too." The same Formula, but for 10 different people. So when we change a formula quickly to another, the mind does not have time to deviate and dream. This is a special exercise that develops Magic Skills and Vision. “ Turn your mind into the Word.” Interpretation: The Word is the purity of consciousness. In other words: Clear your mind from unnecessary thoughts. Give yourself pure, purposeful action. Turn your mind into a superior mind. Not into a mind that fears, suggests, guesses and expects, but a mind that it has already verified, does not believe, but knows and observes the events impartially. Practically, do not react to everything that's happening around you. Do not show reactions that can help others analyze you. When you react very emotionally to everything that is happening, you go out of the moment and instead of gathering impressions of what is happening, you lose your concentration to unnecessary things. Link between the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word) and the Fourth Principle (Work with what is invisible to others.) “Work with the Word” Interpretation: We go to a concert and see how a virtuoso pianist presses the keys one after another at a furious pace. It seems easy. But these are hours, days, and years of everyday training to achieve this perfection. Work or exercise the Word is an instruction to the Occult Student. This does not mean working with the external word (as some of the speech exercises given above.) Here, in working with the Word, we intend to direct our Intention so that fewer words would
be ours and give more and more the Flame to speak through us. It is important to work on every word. This includes self-compiling Formulas and Words of the Power. This should be a regular activity. In a more practical sense, this means giving in to the nature of things. Do not do anything unnatural. Do not be pretentious, but be quiet and observant. Do not talk when people are not ready to listen - first draw their attention, make them realize the importance of what is going to happen and then talk to them. Do not consume unnatural foods and beverages of suspect origin that damage your health. Health is not yours - it is only given to you temporarily while you are in this world so that you can serve the Flame rather than abuse it. Some people will say, "No, this is my body, my health." And what is the point if the One is not there? If you chase him away with your unintended actions? From here we can derive the Occult Rule: "Follow the nature of things." “Be invisible to others” Interpretation: Here again we mean Adept, who has no reaction. He seems to be simply "absent" when he is among the people. You do not even notice him first, but he's in front of you or close to you. Then you can see how close he is to you and wonder why did you not notice him at first. The Black Adept is quiet in nature. He watches others and helps them secretly, sometimes disguised as a villain. The Black Adept does not care if people will love him or not - he is devoted to the Flame and the Flame in the Souls of humans. To be able to control Shadows (Worlds - Consciousness), the Black Adept chooses to remain inconspicuous. He does not actually live among people - he only appears among them. He lives permanently and only in the Flame. Another interpretation is that one who is invisible to others has realized deeply that without the Flame he has no identity, that is, he is invisible. No image. Does not exist. He cannot be known. It is the Flame that gives this secret power - the enemies will not notice you, but for others, you will shine like the Sun. Formula: "Ahaar, make me invisible to all my enemies in the past, present, and future." "Be Flawless in the Invisible." Interpretation: When you want something to happen in the manifest, you must first find it in the undetected. To make a choice. So act in secret, do not act obviously. Let nobody understand your good intentions. Keep in secret the service you do.
Link between the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word) and the Fifth Principle (Take a position before every single moment.) “Take a Position before the Word.” Interpretation: Do not succumb to the flow of words. Some people tell you one thing, others - another. You should keep track of the flow of words and their meaning, but you often forget where all these words come from and for what purpose. Forget what was the original intent. So you loosen yourself in verbosity and lose your Intention. Take a position before the words, in Silence. There are things that can be shared and ones that have to remain hidden forever. Whoever takes a position before the Word finds out an unspoken secret and understands how to keep the secret. The secret is not in the Word, but in what gives the impulse of the Word - the Silence. There lies the secret. Every word spoken is energy consumed. The Adept knows how to channel this energy, but ordinary people
do not know. Any unspoken word is stored energy. If you sense that the words come one after the other and you have no control over the flow of energy - stop and take your place in Silence. If you're wondering whether or not to say something - pause. Stay in Silence. Wondering is a quality of the mind. It only takes you away from the Intention. The pure Word comes with the Intention only when the mind is asleep. The Word is when energy flows correctly when the river reaches from the spring to the sea. It is not the Word that converges, but the Secret. The secret is not in the Word. It is hiding in the Silence. When you want someone to become a friend, you have to share a secret. The secret is when you never share it. Keeping a Secret develops the Silence in you and keeps the Flame. From here we can draw an Occult Rule: "Make your life secret and guard it unconditionally day and night." To put it in a more accessible way, keep our occult lessons and learn the doctrine in secret. Our activities can be partially and indirectly shared with few people who have already been verified as worthy. For all other people, be a mystery. Do not let them understand your occult life. Do not be demonstrative in your behavior and dressing. Do not let go of occult themes. Be hidden and watch. “The Mastership in Word is not a goal, but a consequence of the penetration in the Truth.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – The Black Masters: 4 “ Be Flawless in every single moment.” Interpretation: Flawlessness comes when the Flame and the Teaching fulfill your whole life. You are at home, doing occult exercises, reading occult books, seeing other occultists and everything is very beautiful and pastoral. Then you go out, you go to work and you change totally - you start to criticize, mislead, sometimes lie, you have prejudiced opinions... All your occult activities go in vain. You put a drop of tar in the clean glass of water. Flawlessness is constantly sought every day, in everything that happens and everything we do. “You keep making an elephant out of a fly. Skills you will acquire when you make a fly out of an elephant. You’ll be a Master when you bring the fly and the elephant into the Emptiness.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – Black Masters: 5 Being Flawless in every single moment means to be Flawless at all times and not just sometimes. This task has the following solution: Be out of time. How do we go out of time? When we are in the right place at the right time. Where is the place and which is the moment? It's where and when the smile does not fall off your face. If you have the feeling of dissatisfaction that you are not where you would like to be, and something has already happened, and you have missed it or it is going to happen, but you are not sure if it will happen exactly where you are, then you are in the trap of time and the smile is gone. Again we come to the fact that in order to be Flawless, you must first "Be". Right now. Not before or after. This act of sacrament is not achieved by rushing back and forward, and we are always looking for where to go to be in the "right place". The right place is wherever we are. We just have to let the Flame awaken in us and fulfill our lives. Then we will always be at the right where and when. Flawlessness, this is when you are absolutely uncompromising to yourself: “The Wiseman sometimes makes compromises with people, but never with himself.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – Black Masters: 6
Link between the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word) and the Sixth Principle (From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, kindle a fire. From the flowers extract the honey). “Be the Word that transforms the World.” Interpretation: Carry a change where it is needed. Every word carries in itself a change - small or big. Only Silence is invariable. Silence, this is the state which the mind can never reach. Not all words are a Word, and not every Word comes out of words. Achieving the Word is a difficult task. This gift is obtained after many trials and achievement of Flawlessness. But it is even harder to keep. It's very important how you use it. Through the Word, the Adept awakens the Flame in the Souls of Men. The Word serves to the Mission. Only and solely to the Flame. If you try to use the Word for personal purposes, it recoils and begins a storm of the mind. Extractive, use your skills and accumulated experience in Occult Sciences to help more Souls get rid of the trap of the mind and awaken the Flame within them. The Word is not a phenomenon whose nature is to be immobile. Its nature is precisely to be on the move and to connect with each other. If you feel that you have stopped and there is no movement in your life, think about who might need you. Whoever serves the Souls will be in a constant Movement. The movement will bring renewal and life to him. He who through the Word serves the Souls and their awakening will never grow old. He will be forever young and death will not visit him. The Word is the power that transforms death into life and old age into eternal youth. Over the centuries, many rulers and adventurers have searched for the Spring of Youth, but their search has been doomed to failure because their approach has been wrong. This Spring is not physical. This Spring is the Word itself. The Word that comes from you when you placed the Flame in your heart. The Word is the power that gives true freedom and eternal youth to both you and others. “ Rekindle the Word in yourself and let it burn World.” Interpretation: Sometimes, in order for something new to be born, the old one must burn. The Word Can Build a Temple: “The Sound spins the Three Rings. The Sound builds the Pyramid, not the hands. The Sound reveals the Hidden. The Sound moves the Darkness. The Sound changes the trajectories of the Worlds. The Sound modulates life. The Sound unlocks and locks.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 7 The Word may erase the World: “ The Plan of my Father is total erasure. What remains will bear the seal of the Flame.” Book of the Black Eagle: The Father of the Black Brotherhood: 13 Word is the wind of Antiquity. When we rekindle the Word in ourselves, we should let it flow like the river flows. The Word must not be artificially controlled, but on the contrary, it must be allowed to flow naturally. Just as the wind passes through the forest - it breaks the dry branches, and the living, flexible branches only bend, but they do not break. The Word is precisely the trial that is placed on man. The fire that burns the world. Those who have mastered the mind will pass. Those who have
defects in the Word will be broken. In a more practical sense, this Occult Rule means not to set the trials according to man, but to let the Word/Trial only speak for ourselves. We must not forget that we are not the examiners, but we are only tools of the trial to determine who is worthy. The Word as a test is always a mystery. It always remains hidden. People of the mind will try to explain the Word, prove it, test it, and all their attempts will fail because their approach will be wrong. The man who awakens the Flame within himself, the man of the Sixth Solar Race, will resist the Word without trying to explain it to the mind without trying to challenge or prove it. The Word of the Teachers is the trial that everyone will have to go through to find their place in the New Age. Everything else will be erased and will lose its form as we know it. This is "The Word will burn the World" - let the Word reach out to all, to have every opportunity to make the choice. Send the Word to the farthest corners of the World so that everyone can have the equal chance of going to the Sixth Solar Race. The Word is the Path that we have to go through to move from the Fifth to the Sixth Solar Race. This is the sunlight that connects the old world with the new. Link between the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word) and the Seventh Principle (Do not allow the darkness to overshadow your smile). “ Do not allow the darkness in your Word.” Interpretation: The word is like the sun's rays. For the rays to reach the other end of the universe, there must be no darkness creeping in them. “Those who master the Word can create Worlds. In order to master the Word, you have to serve the Truth. Those that have the Truth have their Word as Sun, and their words are the rays that reach everyone. There are no boundaries to the Word.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Words: 16 Similarly, in order for the Word to reach the intended purpose, there must be no defects in it. Defects such as lies, criticism, rumors, gossip, curiosity, insults, curses, and others. “When you speak ill of others you are not becoming any better than them. It only shows you have no mastery over the Word. Thus you should never trust people who speak ill of others. With an impure word, there is no Love, and without Love, there are impure relations.” The voices faded away, and Akh Tashib said: “Without Truth, there is no Word. Without the understanding of the Truth, there is no sacred act. There is no Motion if not in search of the Truth. Without Truth, the defects of the Word come up. Without Truth, there is no life in Rightness.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Words: 36, 37 It is the defects in the Word that are the foods that nourish the minds of men and sow the evil in the World. The first step towards winning the war with the mind is clearing the Word. This is a process that begins with an unconditional decision. Choose the Truth. Exercise: Let's make a Diary of the Word. Let's record if we allow defects (lies, criticism, gossip, claptrap, talkative, insulting, cursing and swearing, curiosity). Then we analyze the reasons that have prompted us to allow defects and build a clear strategy to deal with them.
“Be Flawless in your smile.” Interpretation: Make the best of which you are capable. Do not spare your strength. This interpretation is related to two human deficiencies: delay and haste. The smile, in this case, is your actions, what you do in your service. To give your best, you have to be at the right moment. Man often has no patience to do a job and get involved with something else. On another occasion, he does not want to do anything, and he always says, "Let it not be now, let it be tomorrow." Tomorrow does not exist. "Tomorrow" is just an illusion of "today" that has not yet materialized and may not be realized. Whoever postpones losing the moment, loses the smile. It is this smile - to be just before the moment, always at the heart of things. The smile comes when everything is in Rightness. When you feel that something is wrong, the smile does not come - fear and sadness come instead. Those who rush have too many desires. In the Flame everything is right. In Intention, everything comes at the right moment, but for desires, what man has, is never enough, and the desires insist more quickly to act and to achieve their purpose, usually quite unnecessary. Then, in the rush, we lose value in life (smile) so we can feed the mind. So many mistakes are made, which we must then take time to correct. In short: when we postpone, we create laziness and there is no evolvement. When we hurry, we kindle the desire and we cannot keep on the Path. For both abnormalities, there is a "medicine" - Clean Action. Dedicating to the Mission. Every Brother and Sister needs to find their individual Mission - whether it will be as a healer, whether it will be as a teacher, whether it will be to help orphans or to the sick or something else... Dedicating yourself to a pure and fruitful action leaves no room for desires or for laziness. Why is it so? In desires and laziness, the accent falls on us - what we want, what we do not want. Everything is revolving around us. When we dedicate ourselves to an activity related to the needs of the people, we remain in the background, and their needs come out first, and then the responsibility and the service to their Souls does not allow us to delay or thrust our actions. You care about others, and the Flame takes care of you. If you think you have to take care of yourself first and then for others then it means that your wishes and needs are too big and therefore you are always unsatisfied. The solution is simple - reduce your needs to a minimum and strain your efforts to serve the Souls.
Defects in the Word Among all of the defects of the word - criticism, insults, curses, cynicism, gossip, curiosity - the lie is the most basic and most fundamental to the purity of the Soul. Lie. “Whoever loses the Eye, loses the understanding of all things, and this is where ignorance begins. This is the essence of lie – after the loss of the Eye, man starts calling things with their false names. If the name does not come from the Flame and through the Truth, it is false and spreads deception. With self-deception, you guarantee yourself exit from the Awareness. If you start spreading deception among others, you get under the observation of the Eye of the Eagle, and you will be watched over all the time. If you start giving voice to the deceptions, the Eagle comes down and grabs you with his claws – you already have an agreement that needs to be seen through. In return, your sight will be taken away. The word once spoken is being recorded by the Eagle into the Memory of the Universe, and it can never be erased. So this way who has Eye can distinguish the apparent from the hidden; the unclean from the sacred. In order to win
over the Devil in this first battle, first, you need to save yourselves from the deception. What is real is timeless. What is real does not enter in conflicts. What is real stays quietly without unnecessary noise. What is real, looks and searches internally into your own depth, not externally into the world. What is real does not complicate, but simplify until it disappears completely. What is real does not age but grows. What is real is always grateful – no matter if there is a cloudless sky or a storm above it.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 39 The spoken lie gets you trapped: You have said something that does not exist. Now you have to create it and if you cannot, you will have to pay the damages. Every word is an agreement you make and record in the Archives of the Universe. We can fantasize that we have lied to a person and control him, but it is an illusion that easily collapses. The Truth itself can make contact because there is acceptance of it from the Soul. When the Truth is between us - we have proximity. When the lie is inserted, the Word is taken away, the doubt comes, and the mistrust with it. After them comes fear, and from fear - the prejudice and alienation. That`s why nowadays there is so much darkness around the world, and many people live in alienation. Where does the lie come from? It comes from the overly strong and unreasonable desires of the mind. The mind wants, but it understands that it cannot have it. It wants to have it at any cost whatever it is. It starts making false words just to get what it wants. Requests and desires are the favorite foods of the mind. He constantly asks the mind: "I want this! I want that! I have a desire for this, but not for that... " By this, you will know when your mind speaks to you and when the Soul speaks to you. The Soul thinks of the whole, thinks of all. Thinks about the will of the Flame. Thinks what the voice of Truth says. Thinks about what's good for others. The soul is like the Sun - it is programmed to give. The mind always thinks of itself. It constantly wants and when it gets, or is happy for a very short time, and then wants more, or is quite unhappy, and starts blaming others for not having received what it wants. The mind has constantly strong desires and often overlooks everything and everyone, just to make them happen. The mind is programmed to receive, not to give. The lie is its favorite means of achieving its desires. The man who is accustomed to lying is in a very difficult situation: he is a debtor and as such is being persecuted by tax collectors to pay his debts. Tax collectors come as suffering, torment, illness, quarrels and other as such. Every false word is paid. If lies become more than the man can pay - he is no longer a debtor but becomes a prisoner. The tax collectors send him to the guards and lock him up. Such a man no longer has any control over his will. He is vacant and there the Flame is extinguished and cannot be awakened while the man is in jail. In order to get out of this prison, he must make a complete, absolute, radical change and wish the Truth and only the Truth in a deep and categorical way. Otherwise, he remains forever a prisoner. Very serious illnesses, often incurable, come to visit these "prisoners" to avoid them escape. Occasionally, intrusive thoughts come about committing a crime that is often associated with violence. So man sinks more and more. In the next reincarnation, he is often put into an animal body to learn lessons and redeem a human body and the right to greater development. Lie means non-acceptance of Reality. Whoever does not want to accept Reality means that he stands with his back to the Flame and Shadows invade his life. Shadows are the doubts that activate the mind again. The lie is not always aimed at others. Sometimes it is directed to the individual who cannot accept the Truth and chooses to
deceive himself. Without the Truth, however, there can be no control over life. Man often chooses the lie as an easy option because he has a fear of being with the Truth. If a person truly chooses the Truth (not the human perception of truth in one situation or another, but Truth as a Universal, Divine Principle), any fear disappears. The vague desires also disappear, and in their place come clear goals, which then transform into an inflexible Intention. Truth is the most ancient religion. The Truth of principle is the bridge between people. Without it, the whole Reality collapses. To remove the lie, we must reduce and then completely remove our unclean and erroneous desires and begin to serve the Flame. Only then we can gain complete control of our lives and discover what we have never known we are looking for. If in a difficult situation, we are pressed to cheat on the Truth, we can simply pause and say nothing. Often this is the wisest strategy. Or we tell the truth in a given situation or we remain silent and say nothing, but we cannot afford to lie. The Black Adept has the mission to find the lie and transform it. The Black Adept seeks not only the worthy people who are ready to wake up. He also seeks those who lend themselves to the lie and gives them trials, so they can be able to wake up in this way. The black color absorbs and accepts, so the Black Adept accepts everyone and processes them. To the worthy one, he gives the Word of the Flame, to the one who serves the lie – he gives darkness and heavy trials, but there is always an outlet. Light in the tunnel. Thus, man is given the right to choose. The Black Adept himself serves the Truth in a particularly deep and hidden way. People very often cannot understand it because the darkness around the Adept becomes inconceivable. The Adept has accumulated his personal Power by serving the Truth. From just one lie, he will lose his Power and his magic skills and will go through many trials to regain it. By nature, the Adept is silent. He knows well that from loquacity and claptrap is the easiest way to give birth to lies. They are a very good prerequisite for the lie. That's why you have to keep your word in order to avoid misleading anyone. If you give your word - this must be a law for you to keep zealously. So we have to be careful what we say, how we say it and what we promise. Unfulfilled promises pile up a very heavy karma to be paid. A man with a lot of pilled and heavy karma cannot be an Occult Student. Not until he clears this karma. In general, the Occult Student is an example for imitation in every respect. He speaks only the Truth, and always holds his word - both before others and before himself. We must be very careful not only for the intentional lies but also for the unintentional. We do not know something, we do not understand it, but when someone asks us - we are in a hurry to express our opinion, and so we become misleading. Let us be especially careful when we awaken the Flame in a human Soul. Not everyone is ready to become a part of the Word. The meaning of the Truth, for unprepared one, can be perceived as an ordinary lie. Here comes the mastery of the Word: finding a point of contact with everyone and presenting everything accessible according to his worldview, not trying to impose his own. When we lie - we become visible, manifested and we can easily be attacked. With the Truth, we always remain hidden - the Truth itself remains to shine. By lying, we open the gap in our defense mechanism, and demons and other inferior creatures can be inserted to control our minds. They send thought-messages into our consciousness, and if we succumb, we can fall into a dangerous trap. The lie makes us accessible, vulnerable and dependent. The Truth makes us independent and unavailable to negative influences. How to protect our self from the lie? Occult Rule: Avoid concreteness.
“Always avoid concreteness. You should not work with concreteness. You should have Sharpness and accuracy. Concreteness is a mental quality and loves to limit things in order to understand them. But you are not concrete, my friend. You are divine. The Flame is not concrete.” Book of the Yellow Spider - Leader: 8 The lie is conceived in concreteness. The truth is not concrete. It is inherently accurate without being uttered. Example: Do not say, „I’ll be back in a second", because you already made a lie. Better not be so specific. Say: "I'll be back later ..." Another way to protect yourself from lying is to have a proper attitude to promises. Occult Rule: Do not make promises. Example: When someone presses you to do a job, do not succumb to promising that you will complete it today. Better say that you will make efforts to complete the task as soon as possible. Exercise: To get rid of the lie, we must first master the mind. For this purpose, we should not give him food. Food like desires and dreams. If we feel that we have very strong intrusive wishes, let us take up Formulas and occult exercises to slip away from the mind. Occasionally, reading of occult, esoteric and spiritual books is also effective. In other lighter cases, even solving Sudoku and chess puzzles can be helpful. Exercise: Practice silence. This can be done in many ways. We can train it alone and meditate on occult ideas during this time. We can practice silence with our Brothers and Sisters. We could take a stand against each other and start to look at each other, but without talking. Thus, in time, a very special relationship is created and we can convey our thoughts without words. This exercise develops hidden magical abilities. Exercise: With the lie, we achieve little things that are temporary. With it, we get fake control. We only have power through the Truth. Most people are lying from inner fear, about how do people accept them. But with lying there is no real acceptance. So think about what you've lied about in the past, and confess to everyone what you've lied about, whatever it costs you. So you will gradually become free. When you lie, the lie chains you, and you are obliged to keep it internally, and you are not free. Exercise: Some people try with words and actions to compel you to behave in a certain way, to tell you who you need to be and you rub It in. This is the process of taming. You start to lie to the "educator" only not to be "punished". Exercise to be, what you feel. Tell the truth, say what you really think and feel, not what you think will appeal to the "educator". When you express yourself through your true feelings and intentions, you will soon discover those who will appreciate you as you are and you will not have to please anyone. Insults and criticism. “The second step in winning over the Devil is the Voice. You need to clean your words and thoughts. The Devil does not live in an underground world, but on the tip of your tongue, awaiting to be called. One wrong word, one rough word, one spoken or accepted insult, one wrong opinion, one wrong conclusion, one critic and you lose the Flawlessness. Every word is a holy being and once spoken it starts its own life. If
the word is right, it will move you forward all the way. If the word is wrong, it will stumble you, and then you will need to spend time getting back up. Remember with the speaking out of the wrong word you do not start the battle with the Devil. With the wrong word, the battle is over, and you already have lost. You are already under the Devil’s control. The Devil does not speak the words instead of you. You do it on your own. He is the one who gives material for your thoughts. He whispers to you dangerous thoughts, and then you start misinterpreting them. The insult, the opinion, the critic, the conclusions, the rough words – they all start in your mind first. When they conquer your thoughts, they transform in words and get spoken. The wrong words are the most dangerous weapon of the Devil. The most horrifying enemy of humankind. They are dangerous because they are strongly underestimated. Nobody takes them seriously. Nobody sees them as a problem. Nobody pays attention to them. Until is too late. That’s why you must be one with the Flame. In the Flame, there are no thoughts. When a thought appears, determine where it is coming from and where does it lead to, what would be the consequences, and if it is wrongful – erase it. Everything that is happening in the thoughts is also happening somewhere in the Worlds-shadows. The thoughts just like the words are living beings, but they are with hidden nature. The wrong thoughts are like weeds in the garden of your mind. The weeds need to be removed on time, while still a germ. If you are too late, the weeds will take over your consciousness, and sometimes there is no going back.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 40 Criticism shows a disagreement with the order of the Universe. The insult is even more dangerous because it hides our purposeful intention to hurt someone. Because the Flame is in us and in the other person, hurting him, gives reflections to ourselves. This is how we sacrifies parts of our potential for evolvement. We put to sleep our Awareness. Whoever deliberately uses violence in any form, blocks his own evolvement paths, so he cannot continue forward. When he cannot continue, he is often attacked by enemies - suspicions, assumptions, and others. Then threatened from the place in which he finds himself and without the possibility of continuing forward, he often returns back in his evolvement. Such people are recognized by their constant criticism towards things with which they are not directly subject to and at the same time fear of the opinion of others and have a constant paranoia that others are against them, even when there is nothing like that. These people are gradually demonizing and they feel subconscious (and sometimes consciously) that they are sinking, so they are trying to get a hold of someone as a lifebelt, no matter they can drag him to the bottom. The Black Adept follows people who have demonized themselves so this way he can heal them. Healing is done with the right Key. But for this, there must first be a door... Sometimes only one insult can bring you back thousands of years in your evolvement. The insult comes when a person is misunderstood and serves as a protective response to hide how confused we really are. If anyone makes insults, the Adept does not accept things personally, because he sees the call to help the human Soul. The person who insults others needs immediate help. To give him a key to Awareness. We should not teach him directly, but in a hidden way, finding the right moment. Exercise: If someone insults us, disintegrate the word until it disappears. Example: Idiot. Diot. Iot. Ot. T. Or: Idio-Idi-Id-I... Finally, nothing remains of the word. We can try another interpretation. Idiot. I Dio. ID. IO. Where does he come from? Isn’t this someone who does not know where he comes from?
Exercise: If we have an impulse to insult someone, let us ask ourselves which are the reasons for this. Which qualities we do not like in this person. Are these qualities, which we do not like, perhaps useful for someone else? Does this person have qualities that we like? If so, which are they? Before we offend, let's think of these good qualities. If we do not see good qualities, let us ask ourselves how is this possible. While we answer all these questions, the desire for insult will be over. That's right - the desire. This is a desire and comes from our mind which wants food. Desire is not a necessity. So we can do without insulting. Exercise: Let’s, if we get offended, "cut off" this person with a good word. Someone blames us for something and offends us. The moment comes for a tactical retreat on our part through silence. We continue our activities without paying attention to the one who has offended us. When we feel that the situation has calmed down, we can go to this person and tell him about all the qualities we value in him, about all his positive aspects that we see. Let us remind him of those cases in which he has acted noble and has done a good deed. Let the person judge himself for himself, how he prefers people to remember him in their minds - like the noble one or the offending one. Profanity and cynicism. Profanity and cynicism are like stains on clothes. There are places where we have to go wearing clean and elegant clothes, and if we have stains, we will not be let in. It is so with the profanity and cynicism - they dash the Soul and block our access to spiritual events that we might otherwise be attending. With profanity and cynicism, we set the foundations of mental and physical illnesses. Every word has its vibrations that affect the environment, our minds, and our bodies. By swearing and cursing, we pollute ourselves and soon the effects are present. Rarely can be seen a truly healthy person to curse and swear. And it's also hard to see a constantly cursing man whose life is not full of problems. Somebody will say that a person is rather cursing because of these difficulties... But are the difficulties resolved this way or appear more new ones? A man who constantly curses means that he has allowed lower creatures within himself, and they already control his mind and drink from his energy. For such people, there is a very good treatment - temporary isolation in silence. There, these creatures cannot survive. Sometimes for such a person is nice to go alone in the mountains. But besides the silence, he must have an internal striving to deal with these defects in the Word, or else he will go to the mountain, then return and begin again with the curses. Profanity happens when a person is not satisfied, but cannot express himself. What does this mean? That's when you get bitten by mosquitoes in the dark, but you cannot see them. You cannot point out exactly what is biting you. The cursing person is someone who is always unhappy with something but never seeks to analyze the reason for his dissatisfaction. He prefers to swear and get bitten by mosquitoes. Such a person needs clarity. He's like a toddler - cries and complains. Every child's cry is irreconcilability with the obscurity of the world. The child feels that there is something wrong happening in the world, but it still knows very little about the world and cannot talk, so it cannot describe what annoys it or what is it that it does not like. Therefore, it is right to accept the cursing man as a little child which cannot speak, does not know the world and bring clarity into his life. A pure Word, against profanity. Let's find out what annoys this person according to himself, and help him see what the real reason behind the obvious is and what is left hidden for his unprepared eyes.
Gossip and curiosity. Curiosity is a distorted form of search. Search not from the Soul, but from the mind. Curiosity is to look for something which you do not need and something that is not meant for you. The curiosity is to look for something you really do not want to use. This search is not a product of need, but a product of desire. That's why everything you find cannot serve you. That is why the Occult Student is not curious - he asks purposefully when necessary and seeks his lesson, not rumors and gossip. Concerning the gossip, we must be especially careful. It may seem harmless, but it is really dangerous because its nature is not frankly aggressive. Often, gossip is about a person who is not physically present and we talk about him. That is where the great fallacy comes. The soul of a person always hears what is spoken, although the mind and the body are not there. Everything we say is sealed and we bear responsibility for it. Thus we waste a lot of energy to talk about unnecessary things and then when the energy is not enough, we begin to steal energy from others. This is through criticism, intrusion of opinions, planting a sense of guilt or shame. The Occult Student has to guard himself against gossip, as it leads to many defects in speech, such as claptrap, talkativeness, and others, and they, in turn, lead to lies, fear, and misunderstanding. The Occult Student is devoted to humanity and cannot afford anything to lower his energy when he needs it to fulfill his mission. Do not discuss people who are not present unless it is intended to help them in any way. If your words are not meant to accomplish deeds, do not waste time talking. When do two persons gossip? When there is no dialogue between their Souls, they have nothing to say and start talking about other people - "who did whatever", "what they said". Full journal. The Occult Student does not question people, nor does he allow them to question him. The interrogator is the mind who is hungry and is looking for food to be satiated. When we have declared war on the mind, we should not feed it to become stronger, but instead, do not give it any food. Exercise: If we sense that the person begins to inquire and question us, we must get him into some action to cross the path of his mind. This is done by redirecting his attention to another goal of research. Normally, if someone is very curious about our privacy and we redirect the conversation towards money or other goods, this person will forget right away what he wanted to ask us and will turn his attention to the new topic. It is good when the new subject comes with another topic - another human victim of questioning. The personality of the Occult Student must always remain a mystery to others. Exercise: To determine what our weaknesses are, to realize that they are transient and begin to work on them. Make a list of weaknesses and a plan to remove them. Exercise: Starting from the previous exercise, never take the criticisms of others within you. Just listen to them and impartially, consider whether the weaknesses pointed are on the list. If they are - remember that you are still working on them. If they are not, but you think they are real, add them. Do not self-pity, but accept your weaknesses as a gift. They are given to you to have something to work on. People's criticisms are beneficial enough to keep you awake. Exercise: Have purity of speech - do not offend, raise voice, make any remarks, do not enter into а dispute. When you enter a dispute or start criticizing, you take a stand against someone or something that takes away your mobility. You are now easy to classify by others, and that limits you. The mastery of the Strategist is mainly that he cannot be defined and classified in any way. He does not use criticism and therefore
does not become manifested. Think about what and who do you primary criticize, and consider the reasons and consequences. Inculcate not to have to do it and compare the results. In others, there may be no change, but there will be in you. CONCLUSION: We live in a time of change. What has happened over the past 50 years has exceeded what has happened over the past 2000 years. If mistakes have been easily forgiven before, the rules are now uncompromising. The transition to the Sixth Solar Race is approaching. The Race of the Flawless. Those who walk in Rightness. A Spiritual Race. A race in which we will not be able to pass through the lies, insults and all the defects in the word, carefully pilled over the centuries. It is time to turn inward to ourselves, to the Flame burning in us and to be determined. Determined on the path to achieving Flawlessness. Complicated times of severe trials for all mankind as well as for each individual are coming. A heavy storm is approaching for all mankind. It will be uncompromising and merciless. Once the storm passes, only the Worthy will remain. Whoever chooses the mind will be a lonely tree and will perish. Whoever chooses the Word will contact all the Brothers and Sisters in the Universe and together we will pass into the New World. Time is up... Time is now... Time of Choice. Are you worthy to continue?
UR With Unconditional Love to All Brothers and Sisters. With indomitable worship to you, the Worthy, who in the Dawn of the New Age chose the Path of the Flame. With a smile to you, the one reading these lines. Now I and you are connected in One - this is the Word... Brotherly, Moriel Yamanu School of the Black Brotherhood, December 2018.
CHAPTER 2: SECOND PRINCIPLE
THE SECOND PRINCIPLE AND THE TEMPTATIONS
Second Principle: “Leave everything that is unnecessary.” Here we have a few keys: "Leave," "Everything", and "Unnecessary". “Leave” is the point of change. This is a projection of the Flame. "Leave" is the denial of the unnecessary. These are the stones in the pockets of the swimmer. Before you take the Path and begin to serve consciously, you need to purify yourself. "Leave" still means Choice. We choose to abandon the shore and to enter the ocean in search of new land. If we just believe we will find new land, it is hope. Hope is a fine form of ignorance. We have already surrendered and are looking for hope. A new land will be found only by the one who knows there is a new land. Only by the one who is fully convinced. This is the principle on which work Worlds-ShadowsStates of mind. They are part of the Pre-Element Darkness and "sleep" waiting to be awakened. They are a potential opportunity that we realize through the Intention. Through the Intention, we "take them" out of Darkness and they become a reality. Therefore, in order to find the land we are looking for in the ocean, we must first find the Shadows, wish for us to be there, wish for it to happen, and then traveling through the Intention, we reach the Shadow-State. There is no need for faith or hope here. When the Intention is directed and we are the Flame (otherwise said, we are sure 100 percent in it), the result is certain. "Leave" can also be seen as a Point of No Return (PONR), a term for pilots that shows that you have already spent half your fuel and you have to move on to the goal because you no longer have enough fuel to come back from where you left. Through "Leave" we leave something irrevocable so that there is no more doubt in our Soul. This is the final choice. Do not give yourself the chance to break it. The traveler has come to a distant land where he has many difficulties - whether to stay or return? He tears the return ticket and leaves the option to return. There was a case in Antiquity, in which wise men blinded themselves because their eyes were tempting a lot, and so they wanted to take away the opportunity to be tempted. We know that smoking is harmful and damaging to the others around us - we do not reduce the cigarettes, but instead, we throw them out. We do not take money with us when we go to work, so this way we cannot buy cigarettes... The examples given above are not perfect and are not intended to be imitated, but only to portray the notion of "Leave". "Leave" has another aspect - not so much to focus on what we want to achieve and what we shall get, but rather on what is inconsistent with our choice. Something, which we can do without. Which are the important things in our lives and which are the ones we can do without. "Leave" separates the important from the less important, until there remains only the most necessary. "Leave" is related to deprivation. Let's think about everything we wonder whether to buy or not: can I do without it or not? Here comes the question of why people buy, so many unnecessary things? The cost of the purchase shows us how much we value, how much we love ourselves. So we become slaves of our own desires. A person who has many and different desires - has no clear goal. A wondering person is an unconscious person, a person without a mission, with no purpose, someone who has lost the Flame. These are the people who most urgently need our help. How do we recognize people who are lost? They are often obsessed with buying things that they can really do without. Why are they doing it? To understand themselves. To prove that they are not unnecessary. That they are not useless. Every Soul, deep within itself, seeks purpose. The Goal. But when this person does not find it, he needs substitutes. Why do we bother to work so much? In order to buy unnecessary things, because we have no real purpose in which to invest the accumulated. Expensive jewelry, expensive electrical equipment, branded
clothes... These are all ways to justify the work done in favor of "society" and show that this work has not been in vain - we have received a "toy" as a gift. “...But strange thing man is. The human system obsesses him so much that he completely forgets about himself and his spiritual essence. Nowadays man doesn’t even believe in the existence of the spiritual. People are born and still, from the beginning are being thought what they should be in conformity with the society. How to behave in conformity with the society. What to believe in, conforming with the society. What they should do in order to be liked by the community. They study in schools and universities how to be more useful for the society. Start to work a job they don’t like. People think that they work for themselves. But actually, they work for the society. With the money earned, influenced by advertisements and other people, they buy things they don’t need. And man no longer wants to have only the necessary for his life, according to his own needs. He wants to have the things the others have, to live better than them. He can see for himself that this is the true, real life and in tough times he comforts himself with the notion that everyone lives the same way. Then man grows old and before leaving the material world, realizes that he doesn’t know what comes next and his former self-confidence fades away. He realizes that the material benefits cannot follow him. He starts to ask himself whether he was a good man, was he loved, what has he really done in his life, what has he left. Questions without any answer. These questions are killing man from the inside and are shortening his short life anyway. He’s got no other option, but to comfort himself that he’s got children. Animals got it too. Everyone can have it, but not everyone can create successor. And does he have anything from himself to give to that successor? Man realizes the deep and dreadful truth that he hasn’t had a conscious life. He has missed it. All his life he has served the society, which he hated. Man realizes that he is neither his house nor his car or money. Man is a lot more, but he hasn’t fulfilled himself. Man is not happy. He doesn’t even remember anymore what he wanted to be when he was young. When he had strength and energy and was able to choose his life before the society tightens him up in its deadly grip. To make him think and fear, and then to blame him and take away his freedom. I’m telling you all this, cause you’ll have to work with people. Some of them are dry and will be erased. Others are still alive, and it’s your duty to give them the Truth. The Truth that will protect them. The Truth that will save them. The Truth that will give them a new life. The Truth that will give them a new chance. A chance to participate in the building of a New World. World of Truth. World of the Black Eagle.” Book of the New Aeon: 3 But no matter how many "toys" we have, we continue to feel lost, incomplete, unfinished, and imperfect. The goal is missing, the unachievable goal. Something, in which to see the goal. Something that gives us strength in the tireless work every day. Only the spiritual mission can reconcile our lives. When we realize that we are not alone and we are sent not only to satisfy our selfish desires but to help others in their spiritual evolvement, we are beginning to see the whole picture that we have so far stubbornly missed. Buying toys cannot and should not be a goal in our lives. The goal is to serve the Souls of others. Each of us to take care of the Souls of others - then we have a connection, a fusion between people, a Brotherhood. When everyone is focused only to buy a car, a motorcycle, a new handset or another toy, we are disconnected, everyone is alone, there is no unity, there is no general evolvement, and there is alienation. Hence the rule: Do not be tempted.
What tempts us? The things we want. Demand and desire. Our desires diverge us from the pursuit, from the goal. Desires and demands are a failure. They corrode the heart. It is always unsatisfied. It always wants more and more. It becomes greedy. It's like pouring water in a pierced mesh - you can never fill it. On the other hand, the spiritual life in the Mission gives fullness. Why? Because the one who accepts the role of taking care of the Souls of people, accepts the idea of the Brotherhood, accepts the responsibility for mankind, he realizes the importance of each of his actions. He already knows that any unnecessary action, any unnecessary desire steals his path, robbing him of his purpose of serving and helping others. Then the selfish desires become redundant. Then the conscious person voluntarily "leaves" them. Here the Principle is modulated into: "Leave the temptations.” This is through transformation. We replace the demand and desire with aspiration and Intention. The Clear goal. The Flame. The Intention has everything that is missing in desires and demands. The Intention is a long path, with a distant goal, but going to it, is always satisfying. While desire has a constant need for satisfaction and is never satisfied. When it gets, it wants again. Over and over. Desire does not give you energy, it only takes it away. The rule: "Do not be tempted." When you take your Path, trials come in the form of temptations. They aim to check whether you are worthy and whether you have mastered your Lessons. When you begin to observe the Principles of the Teaching, there will be factors and rules that will try to tempt you to break them. The temptations and trials are meant to strengthen your will. That is why the more trials you pass, the stronger you get. "The Spirit is the blade, and the stone is the trial. The stone will either blunt the blade or sharpen it." You will never be ready for the trials, and this is precisely the purpose. You cannot choose when and how the trials will come. You can choose how to meet them. For this, you must have the ability to adapt. The trials are a sign of choice. On the Path of the Teaching, every step is a trial, and you must constantly and relentlessly uphold its Principles with your life. It is often late to understand the trial after it has passed. This means that you did not get it passed because your mind was blurred. The Adept has Awakeness of the conscious and perceives the trial as soon as it comes. The Master feels and foresees the trials long before they come. These are the most difficult Trials. Trials are only met at the present. So be alert and catch the moment. The Path of the Teaching of the Black Brotherhood is filled with much pain and suffering, but by walking along this Path you outgrow the Universe and achieve the unachievable. What is joy and happiness for one person, these are the pain and suffering for the Black Adept. Joy, happiness, and tranquility are like a warm room. They deceptively exhaust you and put to sleep your Awakeness. The pain, the suffering, and the trials are like the cold. They keep your Awakeness and they strengthen you. The Path of Darkness is narrow and thorny. On this Path, every step is a trial and a Path to Unity. To follow this Path, you must abandon the World and its illusions. The Teaching is to follow the Path of the Teaching in absolutely every moment of your life, not when you are comfortable with it. The Path is not an entertainment or a field of personal expression or proof. The Brotherhood is the essence of the Teaching. So the Black Brotherhood is indomitable as the oceanic expanse. “So Razaor whispered: Brotherhood is when you love and protect the Brother more than yourself. The tree that stands alone falls when the storm strikes. As each tree shelters, the one next to it the forest lives through the storm.” Book of the Legacy - Brotherhood: 4
To pass the trial, you must have unconditional faith in the Master and the Teachings. In this world, you are an observer. Observe people impartially. You are not from their world. Never experience sympathy and compassion for the people, because each one of them has their trials and they are the best for them. The One has appointed them their trials and when you cohabitate them you are in contradiction with the will of the One. In the Universe everything is right. You only need to cleanse your eyes to see this Truth. The Teaching cleanses your eyes and moves your feet. So do not have pity for people and when it is appropriate-help them. Introduce them to temptation and assign them trials. If you want to teach someone, give him a trial which he is able to pass, but with highest efforts. Continually assign trials to people to keep them awake. If you want to attack and destroy someone assign a trial that they will not able to pass. For this purpose tempt the man so that he breaks the Principles. Study carefully the interrelationships between the Principles. They are inseparably linked. When you tempt someone, you must know his weaknesses and learn his movements. The temptation is the choice of the World over the Truth. Find out what your temptation is and overcome it. When can we set temptations on people and when can we not? The Black Adept sets temptations on people after he has given them a Key. We first help the man to comprehend his delusion, give him the Principle, the Key, and give him a personal example. Then, we set temptations on his path and we send him Formulas all the time so this person has the strength to deal with the temptations. Temptations are placed with Unconditional Love to the person and to his soul, but never by personal reasons. The temptation is a kind of a trial, by which we check whether the lesson is mastered. Every overcome temptation makes you stronger and opens up new expansions in front of you. When the Black Adepts tempt humanity, they recreate the World. The temptation is the element that separates true followers from those who are untrue. That is why only the worthy can continue. The Trials are the Intention of the Flame. “We cannot separate the worthy from the non-worthy without a trial. The trial is a lesson from the Supreme Darkness.” Book of the Legacy – Supreme Evil: 8 Create your own trials. The trials you create for yourself are the best for you. Never doubt yourself, the Teachings of the Black Brotherhood, and your Master. EXERCISES: 1. When you wake up in the morning, you often are still sleepy, though you have to get up. So you give in to temptation and blunt your will. When you wake up in the morning count to the number seven and get up. 2. Make a list of things you do not want to do, and yet you are tempted and you do them. Let's remove them one by one by starting from the easiest. Maybe you know, for example, that some foods are harmful to your health, but you are tempted, and you are saying, "Don`t care for the harm, just this time, and then no more." This is a very convenient justification in front of you and shows that you internally disagree with what you are doing. But the fact that you can harm your physical health is the least of the problem. So you blunt your will and become easily manipulative. Better start getting rid of your little temptations and you will develop an even stronger will and you`ll be able to cope with your greater temptations until you finally get free from
them. First consider impartially what is good for you and what you really need and what not. 3. As the easiest exercise, start by compiling a list of foods and beverages that you know are harmful to you and start eliminating them one at a time. It can be not only foods and beverages but also everyday habits: cigarettes, lack of order, miss to clean and tidy and similar ones... Start practicing in correcting first of easier. Subsequently, go through each item on your list. 4. Try for a month to live with a minimum of food to understand what your minimum survival threshold is. Which exactly are your real needs to survive, without anything unnecessary? The Second Key of the Second Principle is the word "everything" (Leave everything unnecessary.) "Everything" is the absoluteness. This comes to show us that we cannot compromise with ourselves. Whoever has a Mission is uncompromising to himself. "Everything" comes to show that without rejecting the unnecessary, we can never be complete. Here is the mistake, that people are seeking happiness, not the entirety. Happiness comes to satisfy desire, caprice, and temptation. It lasts briefly and then wants something else. In the fullness of the mission is everything. Everything you need is there; ready to serve you at the right time. Everything is equivalent to nothing. The wholly full bottle is "everything." But it cannot be filled with anything else, so it is "nothing". In this case, the Second Principle corresponds to the Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." In other words, work with Nothing, with the invisible. Here comes the rule: "Have nothing." How can this happen? How can you have nothing? When you reject everything unnecessarily in your life. When you reject the temptations as weight. Then there is no weight, you have nothing. Having nothing, you already have everything you need. You have everything. What is everything? Only what is necessary. The necessary is the screen through which the Occult Student sifters and decides what to reject and what not to. What is a necessity and what is a desire (surplus)? The desire leads to caprice, the caprice to surplus and the surplus consumes energy. So you wake up one day and your life seems meaningless. This is your trial to find the Path. The Path is not offered clearly to anyone. You have to find it yourself in your heart and wish to follow it. The more you want, you will dedicate your life in search of unnecessary things that will not make you happy or, more precisely, can give you momentary happiness but will not give you fullness. Nowadays people are over satisfied: we have everything we need to survive, but the problem is that there is much more. In some countries around the world, a pill of aspirin and a bottle of water cost more than a new phone. Most people just wonder what glossy thing to buy at the mall, under the influence of advertisements and fashion. Satisfaction with personal self-esteem - "I buy, means that I can. I can – means that I'm successful." „Others are doing it to be accepted by the “group”: "He has such a watch, and I have to buy one to fit in the group." And when we turn all glamorous with a sports car, branded clothes and shiny toys, we are still not happy. We think the problem is that we lack something else to buy. But the problem is we have no purpose. Our life is only a series of primary wishes and their satisfaction. All this does not result in anything, just cycling in the same place. The wrong judgment of what is a necessity and what is desire has led us into the trap of unfulfilled dreams. All the harmful habits you have are a gift. They are given to you so you can give them up and gain personal strength.
“Be Flame. To be the Flame means to be the only one there could be. The Flame is the original freedom because in it there is nothing unnecessary. Only the one who could leave any baggage can recognize the freedom. Only the free can go back to the Homeland. Only the free one can choose the Truth as a measure.” Book of the New Aeon: 6, “Be Flame” Freedom gives you completeness. Completeness gives you Clarity. In Clarity, you clearly see the goal, your personal Mission and Purpose. To be free, you have to reject the weight - dreams, desire, thrills, and unnecessary thoughts. “You cannot reach darkness as you acquire knowledge, or wisdom, or understanding, or skill. You cannot reach the Darkness with any acquisition. Darkness can be reached only by subtraction, deletion, extermination. Erase your knowledge. Erase your wisdom, your spirit, your nature. Remove and erase until nothing remains. Only then you will have the opportunity to be one with the Flame.” Book of the Absolute Darkness - Darkness: 3 And in this passage of the Book it is said that the achievement of the completeness is done by "subtraction", elimination of unnecessary habits. To blend with the Flame and not burn, you must become a Flame yourself. Otherwise it will burn everything unnecessary, including you. “The Chaos is the thrill of the Darkness. The Chaos is the storm that washes all colors across the canvas until Nothing’s left. Only when the canvas is cleaned, it can be drawn upon again. Only when the glass is empty can it be filled back up. If the glass is full and you pour you compound in it the mixture would not be homogeneous. It won’t be one whole. The Chaos is your tool to draw and the tool you use to erase and correct the drawing.” Book of the Absolute Darkness - Chaos: 8 To find the Path, you must first erase everything, for Nothing to remain. To paint the picture of your life, you first have to clear the canvas to make it white, and then you can start painting. Leave all unnecessary things in order to remain with nothing unnecessary. Then you can start to accumulate. “The Warrior never does anything unnecessary.” Book of the Yellow Spider – School of the Black Brotherhood: 25 Who fights for the Truth does not do any unnecessary action. Does only what is necessary. A necessary is what achieves the goal. Everything else is unnecessary. “...He said: “I gave you an Eye to see in the Darkness and you’ve got familiar with our Home. Now you have to leave it. Find a Door to other dimensions and fly off beyond. Take the suffering and the pain on your shoulders. Deliver the Darkness and sweep through everything with a glance. Erase everything to be Nothing and starting from there create the New World. Test and tempt, and show the Ancient Evil, in which hidden is the Mystery of Absolute. When your Mission is over, you’ll return in the Homeland...” Book of the Black Eagle – Father of the Black Brotherhood: 20 In this passage: "Clear everything to be Nothing and from there create the New World," the Ancient Black Father implies that in order to create a New World to make your life proper, you must first part with all the unnecessary things, unnecessary
thoughts, unnecessary wishes, unnecessary words, unnecessary actions. Only then will you create a New World, something different from before. Can you create a new world if you make the oldest mistakes and turn around in a circle? “Razaor said to them: “Blood makes Motion. Without Motion, the Key cannot turn into the lock. Without Motion, you cannot pass through the Door. Without Motion, there is no step. The Blood is the only thing you need, and there should be nothing else. Blood must constantly circle.” Book of the Legacy - Blood: 12 In this part, Master Razaor implies the removal of the unnecessary. Blood is Energy. That gives motion to your life. You only need Energy. Everything else is unnecessary. Energy is constantly in motion. This comes to show us that if you remain in stagnation, then the desires, the dreams, and the reveries come. Through them, Energy is drying up. So be constantly moving towards the Goal. Towards the Mission. If you stop or slow down, you start looking for life belts in desires. Everyone wants to be rich, but what is wealth? Only the one who has the Fullness is rich. Wealth is not about having a lot but needing less. When your needs are too big, you are visited by greed. Thus, you turn your back on the Flame and fall into the material world. Material things will never save you. Only Wisdom will save you. Only the Flame will answer your questions. Wisdom is achieved with Awareness, Awakeness, and Flawlessness. People get addicted to the things they think they own. That's why people are constantly losing some of their possessions - to understand that everything is transient and they have nothing. People create territories by trying to protect them. This makes them static and cumbersome. When you have one territory, you are obliged to protect it and you cannot travel. The more things you have, the more they slow you down on your Path. The Black Adept has no territory. He has a Center (Flame). Thus, the Adept may appear and disappear anywhere. That is why the whole World is in the palm of his hand. The king is king only in his country. The Adept is King in all countries. The Adept has nothing but uses everything. He has nothing, but everything obeys his will. If you have nothing, nothing can be taken away. When you have things you think you own, you place a part of yourself in them. So, when these things are taken away from you, you lose a part of yourself. When you own something – the thing owns you too. The only thing you have is your Flame. Only this spark follows you from one reincarnation to another. Material things cannot follow you into the other life. So have nothing. Spread your territory to a single point, to your Center. This will make you elusive and unpredictable. When you want to use this principle against someone, first ignite his greed. Greed always ruins. It creates a desire for conquest. Take away from the object the conquered and thus you will destroy a part of him. The more effort he puts to subdue something, the more he gives from himself in the conquest and consumes more resources. Inflate his ego in order to create an excessive self-image. Destroy this notion by showing this person his weaknesses. Place him into another System where there is nothing familiar for him to lean on. This is a kind of isolation. The Black Adept is accustomed to nothingness, and for him it is wealth. When a person who is accustomed to possessing is isolated, he loses everything familiar and can easily be led in the future. When you have more, invest in something spiritual. When you have more - give. Even if people are ungrateful, their souls are bound to you and sooner or later they pay you back. By giving Love and Enlightenment you will receive from everywhere and everything will work for you.
EXERCISES: 1. A person becomes very often attached to material things and leaves a part of himself in them. This makes him stiff and prevents him from reaching the spiritual. So, my friend, choose one of your most valuable belongings and give it to someone. But give it with Love. Be honest with yourself. Choose your most valuable item. If you can do this, you will gain an extremely strong will and independence. 2. If you lose some valuable item and you are deprived of it, you should not even flinch. Accept this with a smile. If it disturbs you, it means you put your material benefits too high. Here we are not saying, that if you lose something, not to look for it... But not flinch. Accept things as they are. What you have lost is not a part of you. Pay attention to things that no one can take away from you. The Third Key in the Second Principle is "Unnecessary". “Unnecessary” is everything beyond the Flame. The “unnecessary” are the wrong thoughts, words and actions. These are the three things we need to be careful about with priority. Everything starts with the thoughts and then goes directly into action or first in words and then in actions. Unnecessary thoughts. Needless is the thought of everything that does not lead to the Flame. The thought that tempts us is unnecessary. But temptation is given for a specific purpose - to work with it, not to give it up. Giving in to temptations is as cycling in one place. Rotation in empty gear. The temptation is our weakness when it is not understood. When the temptation is overcome (When we reject it and do not nurture it), it becomes our strength. This corresponds to the Sixth Principle: ”From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey.” So we need to study everything that tempts us to understand its roots. We love to drink. However, when drinking, we often get drunk. When we get drunk, we often lose control and say and do things that lead to its consequences. Consequences that we regret. We say to ourselves: do not drink, because it will get worse. However, when we get together with friends and see a bottle of alcohol, the temptation grows. Let's analyze: why do we really drink? What does drinking give us? Do we want to relax? Do we want to forget something? Are we afraid that we waste our lives and have no real purpose, and so we drink to weep in oblivion because we are not ready to solve the problem? Drinking is our weakness. But if we aim to gain strength, by overcoming this weakness, we will make a significant step on our path. Weakness occupies our consciousness and we are not free to help others because we are busy dealing with our personal problems. We set our goal and set our will not to drink, not even a little bit of alcohol. We replace the alcohol with water and we make a regime to drink water. If we have to choose where to meet with friends, we chose an early hour and a cafe, not a pub. We regain control. Often, however, this is not enough. Here is a key. Instead of concentrating too much on our problem, let's think about others. If we already realize that the temptation of alcohol makes us dependent, let's try to help other people with a similar problem. It may not be alcohol: it can be smoking, drug use, and addiction to gambling, obsession with constant buying of unnecessary goods... At the very least we feel useful, helping others. Then we see that this is a real goal for which it is worth working daily. We are recognizing the truth that if we do not deal with our own temptations, it will be difficult for us to advise others how to deal with theirs. This further stimulates us, to self-analyze and to seek spiritual and strategic methods of dealing with various temptations. When we have already overcome a temptation, it
becomes into our strength. It intensifies our will because the will needs a purpose. A clear goal, otherwise it cannot evolve. Then comes the moment in which we can provoke the temptation. If we have a problem with alcohol, we can buy a bottle of our favorite alcohol and put it on the table, not to consume it but as a trophy. Summarized: first is the analysis of temptations, why they appear, the reason, the actual reason, because they are always the product of our misguided desires. Second is the search for a way to avoid temptation on purpose and to eliminate the causes of their occurrence. The third is the transformation of temptations, looking for a way to replace this gap - as we have already set the example; we shift the focus from "my problem" to "people's problems and how to help them in the best way." Fourth is the verification and the complete conquest of temptations - they are already serving us, and they are in our control, and not we in theirs. We no longer have to fear the things that tempt us. Having understood the methodology in the above four steps, we already know that once we have overcome a temptation, we can overcome others. Now we do not keep ourselves from temptation, but even on the contrary: now we are looking for temptations to overcome. This is the strategy of the Adept - he does not wait for the temptations to come, he seeks them, he creates his own trials. Then our new task is to constantly seek temptations and transform them into our strength. A good strategy is also to start looking for the easier temptations, which we have. To concentrate on a temptation until we learn it. Once mastered, we have a duty to help others deal with the same temptation. But not before we have dealt ourselves and have verified that we are no longer tempted. The unnecessary thoughts are the dreams. With our dreams, we choose to put on our dreams the label "unattainable" and rely on uncertain factors such as "hope". Dreams are when the mind rests and is not purposeful. Then it only scrolls variants and options from the entire "card index" with choices called the Worlds-Shadow-states. It only scrolls and scans the options without choosing one. Without choice, there is no real movement. Without movement, the thought dies and falls apart. There is a methodology that can overcome the defect of superfluous thoughts: through the Fifth Principle ("Take a position before every single moment.") How does this Principle apply? Every time we find that we are wandering and dreaming, we must immediately ditch our dream and replace it with action. Targeted action. If we have followed the previous lectures, we have already built up a daily program and if we catch ourselves dreaming, we just have to go ahead with the planned activity. If we do not have a specific plan - we can make Formulas to support someone or ourselves. We can indulge in exercise and Ritual practice or activity that is in favor of people or the Brotherhood. Whatever purposeful action we take, it will help us get out of dreaming. Nothing loses more time than empty blinking and dreaming. This is what robs us of energy and thinning our will. As far as the thoughts are concerned, they can also be properly targeted. This is done in the following way: the thought must turn into words and the words into action. The problem is when the thought does not turn into anything, and then another thought comes after it, and another one after it. Thus, thoughts accumulate, consciousness clogs, and it does not act, but rather stagnates. Here comes the Third Principle: "Turn your mind into a sun." In other words, make sure that your thought reaches the target as the sun's ray reaches the other end of the Galaxy. How to make our thoughts reach the target? One way is to look for the object of Intention first in the Shadows, in the Invisible, so we can then meet it in the visible. (See Chapter "Shadows" in the Book of the Legacy, The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood). Another option is, once we define our mission, to break it down into goals and sub-goals. So we can direct our
thoughts to the immediate goal and its immediate realization. We reach the goal, and then move our thoughts to the next goal. After a couple of goals, we stop for a period of analysis and planning. It is important to understand that the thought is like an arrow of a bow - there is a period of proper flight, then the parabola begins. The thought must be realized immediately before its power has subsided. Then we have unity between thoughts, words, and actions. Then the Second and Third Principles unite in one: "Leave the mind and turn everything into the Sun." Unnecessary words. “So Akh Tashib said: “The words let you manipulate the world. Through words, you could fly. A single wrong word, a single inaccurate word and the Flame takes your wings, and your flight is over. Take care for the needless words. Every redundant word is wrong. Should you let even a single wrong word in your speech, the whole world will crumble, and you will lose the Rightness. You can cross the Abyss only with the right words. They act as a rope over the Abyss which you take in order to cross over – a single wrong step on it, a single wrong word and you fall into Nothing, and no one can save you.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Word: 40 Any unnecessary word leads to deviation from the goal, from the direction taken. Every word is an agreement that forces the Soul to realize it in one way or another. When you have obligations, the will becomes distracted. Whoever is dependent cannot walk the Path. To serve the Flame, you have to be independent. Independence comes with overcoming temptations and harmful habits to which we have been subjected. In this case, The Second Principle corresponds with the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word.) Freedom comes when we do not serve the words. Sometimes the question is not which the right word is, but whether there should be a word at all. In music, the pause sign (silence) is an essential part of the musical performance. Words are created to express our Unconditional Love to the Souls of Humans, and not for idleness. If we do not find the right words - we better stay quiet. If our words do not help and do not show the Path, if they do not serve the growth of the souls of men, then these words are totally unnecessary. It is said: "A word spoken – a stone thrown." The word is really like a thrown stone - it is thrown at the target, it must reach the goal, otherwise, the stone drops and loses its meaning, its purpose. Do not speak in inertia, but always before you say something carefully think about the consequences, where exactly will this word go, what will it reach, will it find a good ground, will an idea become from it. “So said Akh Tashib: “The Word can reach the end of the Universe only if you know its true essence. The Universe itself is made of words. The words are ideas, living creatures – some static, and some in constant motion. Even the words whispered are written down in the Library of the Temple. The words bring change and consequence. It tells of an idea, shows new horizons, foists suggestions, and shapes minds. The Word is the deadliest weapon. Beware the wrong words because it robs you and distorts the Intention.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Word: 44 Unnecessary actions. Which action is unnecessary? The one, which does not reach the goal. The one, which is not directed at the Flame. It is unnecessary to accumulate and store instead of being
used essentially. Fuel is created not to be stored but to be used to reach the goal. There is nothing wrong in the material things, nor is there anything good. The matter is to be used on the Path, not to be an endgame. Accumulating money is a surplus and then money itself becomes an endgame. Money is designed to be used for a specific purpose rather than for storage. The necessary is what we need to lead the Mission. Everything else is unnecessary. Whoever serves the Flame always has everything necessary. When our actions are aimed at achieving the goal, they are essentially needed. If they are aimed at satisfying desires and dreams, then an unnecessary action is formed and it does not allow us to reach the goal. It puts us on the wrong path. “The Sharpness is what serves the Great Evil for its Intention to come to fulfillment. Sometimes Sharpness acts through the Word, and sometimes though Action. Sharpness is everything useful. The extra cannot be Sharpness. The Sharpness is extreme alacrity. The Sharpness is when Intention runs not through the Flame but straight for its aim. In the Intention, there is nothing redundant. Sharpness is like a river – it flows where there is no resistance and takes over the space sweeping away everything negligible in its wake. This is the nature of Sharpness. Sharpness is like the hurricane’s funnel – as it comes down, it swirls around a single fraction until it becomes an unstoppable force. If the hurricane is attacked by an army, it faces the foe top-first and sucks them towards its center until they disappear into oblivion completely. This is Sharpness.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sharpness: 2 Here, Master Amekran implies that in order to avoid any unnecessary action, we must work with Sharpness. In this regard, the idea of Sharpness connects the Second Principle with the Seventh Principle: "Do not let the dusk cast shadow over your smile." How can you avoid the dusk from getting in your mind? Having nothing to get in to. This is Sharpness - just the necessary. Nothing unnecessary. Sharpness is only the one who is fully committed to the Mission. Sharpness is the Path to Flawlessness. Only the one who has set an unachievable goal, for which a human life is not enough, could gain the Sharpness. Awareness is needed – so that you can see far away as the Eagle. In order to leave everything unnecessary, you must first indicate your purpose and understand what your mission is, what your goal is. If you still do not know exactly what your mission is, just start working for mankind's good. Many do not even have the most necessary and you could help them. Start from there. This is a good start, and the mission will be revealed to you gradually. So you will leave what weighs on you along your path and you will only work with what you need. First, determine what is most necessary for the person and start working to provide it to him. The most important thing is neither food nor money. The most necessary for people is Unconditional Love, acceptance, sacred knowledge, healing of the Soul, the clearing from negative karma... That is what we can work with. “Work with what you have.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 69 This advice of Master Alkinor refers again to the Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." "Leave" is an action just like "work". Do not long or dream... but work. Act. Now. Do not work with what is not present (dreams), but works with what you have.
Exercise: 1. Seek the goal. The goal that is unachievable for one human lifetime. If it is assumed that it can be accomplished, then it is not the real goal. When you finally discover this great mission, divide it into smaller sub-goals, and even smaller ones. Goals for several years ahead. Goals per year. Goals for the month. Goals for the day. Program and allocate your time. 2. Look for the people in need. The seeking people. Those who are in need, not who desire. Do not just satisfy the needs of people, but give them a key, how to satisfy them themselves. Do not just pass on Knowledge to them, but intrigue them to search for it themselves. Do not give fire to the person, but teach him how to ignite the fire himself. Be awake for the people who are seeking. They still do not know what they are looking for, but they can be directed by you.
UR Wishing all the people of the world: to leave envy and greed and to replace them with Unconditional Love to each other, to accept the others as they are and not to look for differences, but the common among all of us - the Flame. Brotherly, Moriel Yamanu School of the Black Brotherhood, August, 2018.
CHAPTER 3: THIRD PRINCIPLE
THE MIND AND THE SERVICE OF THE ADEPT
Third Principle: "Turn your mind into a Sun." The Third Principle contains three Keys: "Turn", "Mind" and "Sun".
FIRST KEY IN THE THIRD PRINCIPLE: "TURN"
The three keys make a bridge. A bridge from "The mind" to "The Sun". "Turn" is actually the bridge itself. The word "into". "The mind" and "The Sun" are actually two nouns and linked together by the verb "turn". The Third Principle can be translated as: "Turn your enemies into friends." "Turn your disadvantage into strong qualities." "Shine your ignorance through the Flame." Choose only the Flame to keep Shadows out of you. "Turn" speaks about the need for change. Real change can only happen when one realizes deeply the need for such. Change does not happen by force, not by obligation. It does not happen through imposing by society or by religion. The Change comes from within. It's like being in love. You realize that you are in love from within - no one can force you to fall in love. The Third Principle is about inner transformation, the moment of realization. In the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word), the pursuit of the Truth, the Intention to the Flame is formed. A spark awakes. In the Second Principle (Leave everything unnecessary), the Occult Student removes the unnecessary load from his shoulders. The Third Principle becomes a deep awakening. Waking from the sleep of the planet - the collective dream of mankind. Then the Occult Student "discovers" the Flame (the Sun, if we literally follow the text of the Principle). This observing of the Sun is when you understand and gain clarity about your mission in life. About, what is your purpose. This is another interpretation of the Third Principle: Acquire clarity of consciousness. This is when you stop wanting, having desires, and you get a definitely clear goal. Then there are no desires and dreams - you are starting to have an aspiration. This is the process of Awareness. And when you acquire Awakeness in every moment (see the Fifth Principle: "Take a position before every single moment"), then the striving becomes onto Intention. There is no turning back anymore. You have chosen the Flame deep inside you. You are completely convinced in your Path and nothing and no one can turn you from it. "Turn" speaks about the need for change. Do you feel that you live in inertia? That you do not do anything real? Nothing memorable? Is everything every day the same? Are you constantly missing something? You may be mistaken this is love, money, friends or other illusions. But the truth is deeper. Your Mission is missing. A mission, to make sense of your life. The first step is to realize that you are missing something and to understand that change must come from within. Only then can there be a real change. Here, in a hidden way, the Third Principle corresponds to the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word). In other words: Follow the Occult Rule: Do not criticize. Are you unhappy with your life? And do you always have someone to blame? Politicians? The Mafia? Neighbors? Colleagues? Bosses? Only when you overcome the criticism and turn around and look at yourself, you can lay the foundations for a genuine transformation. Here we can derive the Occult Rule, also given in the Book: "Do not look outward, but inward." „...Go through Worlds and Shadows and carry the Law. Share the Law. The essence of Law is not in its abiding by. You must be the Law. Hear the Law: “Let them say the Truth because this is the only Path. Let them always take what belongs to them and what they are worthy of. Let them grant Darkness to Shadows and
Shady, and pre-outline the Path of Flame. Let them give Freedom to Love and never betray their own will. Let them search not outwards, but inwards. Let them not kneel in front of people, gods, and illusions. Let them honor those who show them the Path of Flame. Let them all together sing the Law.” Book of the New Aeon: 4 "Turn" also speaks about the Magic Art. Turn. How? With the Intention. What? Turn others into part of your inner Silence. Turn yourself into Flame: “When I walk – I walk in the Flame. When I stop – I am in the Flame again. I hear the Flame everywhere. When I look, I always see the Flame. I am the One who shares the Flame and therefore think of me as Flame.” Book of the Veiled Elder - Mission: 13 "Turn" - this is the Path of the Teaching - the person turns into an Occult Student. The Occult Student is transformed into an Adept. The Adept is transformed into a Master and then disappears without a trace into the Flame.
SECOND KEY IN THE THIRD PRINCIPLE: "MIND" The next key in the Third Principle is the “Mind”. According to Master Ahaar, the mind is the greatest enemy of the entire human race responsible for the remoteness of the Homeland: “...The World is the mind, which awakens the fear and the prejudices. That is the enemy of humanity. It is a weed, and it must be removed on time. If not – the whole garden will have to be erased.” Book of the Black Eagle Ahaar’s Trips in the Reality: 10 “You’ve got several big enemies, my friend. Fear is one of them. It freezes and blackens your life. You keep doubting in yourself and the others, keep worrying about how people will accept you and what they’ll think about you, keep worrying about your closest ones, keep making suppositions, because you don’t know what exactly happens. You’re not happy, my friend. The fear took away your happiness. You are always scared that why you are accessible to illusions. You ceaselessly think, and namely, your mind called in the fear. Firstly you met your first enemy – the misunderstanding. When you didn’t understand, you got out of the right doing and started to think. But the mind is a dangerous and muddled labyrinth with no exit. The mind keeps blaming on you, making you doubt, suggest and guess in the dark. This way the second enemy brings you to the third one – the fear, which implants into the human Soul and doesn’t let man live. The fear will take you to the fourth enemy – the death of the Soul. The death is related to the prejudices. At that point, there’s no development anymore for the Souls, and the life has dried up. Hunter is the one who has overcome those four enemies. Therefore beware the first enemy – the misunderstanding. Don’t lie, don’t criticize, and don’t succumb to unwise impulses. Don’t give in to the mind. You’ll solve your problems not with thinking and speculating, but with the Right Action. Be reasonable and thoughtful, but don’t think. The mind will push you toward fear, and the fear will push you toward death. All the
crimes and problems you commit are in your mind. Don’t search for your death sentence.” Book of the Black Eagle - Ahaar’s Teachings: 20 Assuming that there are three main areas that we have to overcome on the Path - our mistaken thoughts, our mistaken words, and our mistaken actions, the mind is at the heart of this series. He is the founder of fear, of bias, of misunderstanding... This is one of the enemies against, who constantly the Black Adept fights. It is totally misconceived that the Black Adepts are fighting against the White. This, of course, is a complete illusion, stemming from the misunderstanding of people's minds. It is the mind, the enemy who we must eliminate in ourselves, and then help other people defeat it. The mind is the main obstacle to mastery of the Magic Art, walking in Rightness and achieving Awareness. What is the mind? What purpose does it have? Who gave it to the man? It is important here to distinguish the mind from reason: “The third and most dangerous enemy is your own mind. Your thoughts. There is a difference between thinking and reasoning. The first is wandering, and it calls for fears, it works with guesses, it lets doubts in, and it stuns your movements. The reason essentially uses one of its eyes to watch over the path, and it keeps the other eye on the goal on the horizon. The mind keeps both of its eyes on its own feet, and this is why every next step of the path is a mystery, and it spikes fear. Thinking and reasoning go on the same path, but they walk it in a different manner. Walking on a dark trail in the forest the mind is activated, and it starts to wonder: “What if I get lost? What if I get attacked by bandits? What If I don’t survive? How would I find food? I don’t see anything in the darkness! What is that in the distance? What if it is a beast?” “The reason does not guess, it knows, and if it doesn’t know – it analyses. The reason has got into account that it would be on the road and it has a map, so it doesn’t get lost; it has armed itself in case of an attack; it has taken a light, so it doesn’t get lost in the darkness. In case of danger, reason knows that there is a chance of being killed, but it doesn’t focus on that. Rather it focuses on the steps that it needs to take in order to survive. It gives its best, and it accepts the possibility of failure. The mind concentrates on the failure and does not give any opportunity for success when not controlled.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 6, 7 The secret science of mastering the mind is very extensive. One of the methods of solving the problem, called "mind," is through transformation. Here is a direct connection between the Third Principle (Turn your mind into the Sun) and the Sixth Principle (From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey.) The "Mind" is present in three stages: mud, weeds, and flowers. The mud is the confused mind. From the mud make bricks - Give to your confused mind a form (explanation). Explanation (bricks) is not a ready answer but a principle of action. We can do this with the confused minds of the people - not tell them where they are confused because that is meaningless, but give them the "form", from which they by themselves (see The Book of the Black Eagle - My Master: 6) can make bricks. To make them find the answer themselves. The answer to which a person has come to by himself is always better than the one he has been given. It is not accidental that the wise man and the mystics do not give a clear answer, but give a principle that
may sound very mystical and poetical, but actually has great practical value for those who are ready to penetrate the Truth through dedication, perseverance, and purposefulness. The Principle is a Key that unlocks many doors, and the direct response unlocks only a single door. When one of the Souls for which we are responsible is confused and needs guidance, we should never say, "Now, here you will do like this, in the other situation you will do like that." This is just a quick way for harnessing karma, but it does not really help. We need to avoid making ready solutions. Instead, we need to help the person analyze and realize their situation in depth. And then give the person a spiritual key, such as the Seven Principles and all Occult Rules that come from them. Thus, in addition to solving the current problem, the person will be able to handle similar situations in the future on his own. By giving a shape to the mind, there is one more meaning: to transform it into reason. (See Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 6, 7, quoted above). When the mind already has a shape, it is not wandering but prepared. It makes sense. It becomes a sense. From the weeds ignite a fire... This means to burn our incorrect thoughts. When are our thoughts incorrect? When does even a minimal evil get into our thoughts (Seventh Principle: "Do not let the dusk cast shadow over your smile.")? If we feel that thoughts of violence, criticism, lie, deception are entering into our mind, we must take action immediately. We must begin to think at once about someone whom we love and to detail and think about his or her qualities that we value very much. Then, if we are ready, we can go back to this person we have been thinking poorly about and try to find at least one good quality that he has and think of it. Another method is the Ritual of the Sign of Power and entry into the Temple-Pyramid. A third method is the Formulas: Formula: "Ahaar, teach me to think and act like a Sun." Formula directed at the object of our aggression: "(Name), I give you my Unconditional Love. I forgive you, forgive me too." The third interaction between the Third and the Sixth Principle is "to extract honey from the flowers." In the previous two cases the mind was compared with mud and weeds, and here it is compared to flowers. This is the human mind that has a form, that is learning from its mistakes (unlike the mud), and there are also no defects to think evil to others (such as weeds do), and that is why it is a flower. The downside here is that it only has a nice smell, but no essence. It cannot satiate the Soul. It did not become honey. In the transformation of the mud and weeds, we see a partial transformation. Partial change. Mud does not lose its origin but only changes its shape. The weeds burn, but the ashes remain, so they are no longer harmful. In the case of the transformation of the mind from flower to honey, we have a complete change. A spiritual transformation. This happens with a complete falling in deep sleep of the mind and the awakening of the Flame. It is not about giving shape to the mind or destroying wrong thoughts. Here we want to make a conscious choice, to choose the Flame and only the Flame. If our choice is conscious, aware and final, then honey is extracted from the flower. This is the total control over the mind. Formula: "Ahaar, teach me how to serve the Flame in the best way." Formula: "Ahaar, let it be only your will." Summarized on the relationship between the Third and the Sixth Principles: mud is mainly working over the minds of others, the weeds are mainly the war with our own thoughts. Flowers, this is when the mind is mastered and has to make a complete
transformation to the opening of the Soul. Here's what the Ancient Teacher Yellow Spider says: “When you destroy, you do it wrong. The little destruction is a wrong approach. In your enemy, you see a man made out of flesh and blood. But every creature is composed of several elements – body, thoughts, feelings, Soul, Spirit. In addition to these, the Masters have also: one unifying element, one internal and one hidden. And so you, blinded by anger, destroy the enemy’s body; but as this is only one of his elements and the rest remain alive, the Spirit finds a new body, and thus a new enemy shows up in your life. The destruction of only one of your victim’s elements is like tearing down a leaf or trimming a branch. They will grow up again. Therefore, my friend, don’t destroy; Erase instead. In order to Erase you don’t have to trim the tree, but to uproot it wholly. Erase all its elements. The root is the Spirit, the trunk is the Soul, the branches are the thoughts, the leafs are the feelings, the fruit – the body. When you destroy, it turns out that you interrupt someone’s individual life. With Erasure it turns out that such person has never existed and his deeds fade away. On the place of the ripped out tree, you should plant a new one so that the Balance will be maintained. You also have to write down the history of the new Tree, so that the one of the old tree can be erased completely.” Book of the Yellow Spider – The Spider: 9 The Yellow Spider does not advise to fight the mind. Every struggle is doomed to failure. That's why destruction is the wrong method. The advice here is to completely obliterate the mind. As we've never had bad thoughts. This means not only to eliminate the evil thought but also the reason for it. Where do our wrong and evil thoughts come from? From our lack of integrity. From the lack of completeness. What violates our completeness? Our misguided desires, aspirations, and ambitions. The pursuit of empty happiness, our ambitions to a high post, even at the cost of our health. The problem with people is not that they want to live well, but they want to live better than others, from what they see in others. This is a very deep delusion. "He has a sport car - and I must have one." "She has a new shiny phone - and I have to have one." The human obsession with possession is boundless and insatiable. This way we are never happy with what we have and we still want to have more. There is only one measure and this is not what others have (or rather what they think they have), but the Flame. How do we understand if this is an actual measure? When we have Fullness. When we are grateful for what we have been given. When we work for our spiritual evolvement with dedication and method. We do not have to compare ourselves with others in their benefits. Everyone has his own path and walk at his own pace. Completeness comes with gratitude. Not gratitude to someone, not even to the Flame. Just to be sincerely and consciously grateful for what you have at your disposal, and even to what you do not have. People like to constantly complain about what they do not have and what they want to have. This is just the opposite of gratitude. The first step towards achieving it is to stop complaining about anything. We want to complain that we never have any money or how much we work. Let's not speak these thoughts out loud. By speaking them only we spread the infection more. Secondly, let us ask ourselves, about all these things that we want to have if we really need them, can we do without them, if there is anyone else in need of something much more important that we can provide to him if we do not aim for unnecessary things. Third, let's take a look at what we have and continually open our eyes to more and more things that we are grateful for.
Formula: "Ahaar, I'm grateful for this day as well." Formula: "Ahaar, I'm grateful for every breath of air." Formula: "I'm grateful for the food at my table." Neither the day is yours, nor the air and the food are yours. You are given access to them. Be grateful for every breath of air for every ray of sunlight... Only the grateful has the right to evolve and become honey from a flower. Although "turn" only to form the bridge between "the mind" and "the Sun", the central accent in this Principle falls on "the mind". "The mind" is the ancient enemy of mankind. War with this enemy is relentless, merciless. The entire fall of the human race stems from the mind. The fall of Atlantis and other ancient civilizations comes from the disobedience of the mind. Victory over the mind is a must for a transition from the Fifth to the Sixth Solar Race. In the next 3 years, until 2021, this transition will take place. This is also implied in the Book: “Once my Teacher appeared to me and said: “There are Five Doors, but soon I’ll create a Sixth one.” I asked: “Where shall it lead to?” He replied: “Nothing”. Book of the Black Eagle – My Teacher: 5 This passage has many hidden meanings that we will not touch at this point. Here we will say only one of the outer meanings. In the Sixth Solar Race, the mind will not be allowed. In this connection, part of the Mission of the Black Adept is to awaken and ignite the Flame in the Souls of Humans and to lead a war against the Mind. It means fighting against people's misunderstanding and fears. Always in the name of the Truth. “The Warrior fights only through Sharpness and only for Truth.” Book of the Yellow Spider – School of the Black Brotherhood: 32 Master Amekran advises to deal with the mind before it has raised its head: “...The problems must be solved before they appear. The enemy must be stopped before he had risen up against you. The opposing army must be defeated not on a battlefield but in its sleep. To eradicate evil before it had manifested this is the Sharpness of the Supreme Evil.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sharpness: 7 In this connection, we can say that if we know some actions and words will provoke someone to awaken the mind and start to guess, it is better not to give our minds a choice. How does this work? By introducing clarity to man. Give him brotherly advice. Before we point out the strategies and tactics of war against the mind, we must learn to recognize its manifestations. It is the mind that rules the life of man if the Flame in this person is not yet awakened. When the mind stirs, it accepts several major forms: it begins to think (this are the dreams, the desires, the wandering in which we turn our fantasies); presumption (this is when the mind does not know, cannot understand and compiles presumptions which, due to the uncertainty of its nature, lead to the awakening of fear) and the expectation (because the mind is not conscious and does not see the events in depth, there is no understanding, what remains for it is to presume.) From revealing these three basic forms of mind, we can derive three occult rules: 1. Do not think. 2. Do not draw presumptions. 3. Do not expect.
All three occult rules have one thing in common: the negative particle "Do not". This corresponds to the Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." Thus, a direct link can be made between the Second and the Third Principles: "Leave the mind and everything unnecessary." What is unnecessary? The mind. Thinking. Presumptions. Expectation. Let's look at the Rules one by one...
DO NOT THINK Thinking is a disease of the mind. When we think - the mind manifests itself, this automatically means that we do not let the Intention to act and we cannot use the Principles and strategies. When you think, you do not act and tread in one place, there is no evolvement. Thinking means ignorance. Thinks the one, who does not know. Whoever knows and understands the Principles of the Teaching acts in the best way, guided by the strategies. Thinking makes you presume, to guess in the dark. This creates an internal fear that destroys you and you lose yourself. So instead of thinking, reason rationally and act. Unlike thinking that only confuses you, the rational reasoning makes you accept the facts impartially and do the best you can. Thinking is the greatest enemy of man. This is the most dangerous disease for mankind. Thinking makes people afraid. So they cannot use their skills and spin in circles. Thus, from individuals, they become flocks, easy to manipulate, and continue to carry and spread the contagion of the mind. Misunderstanding causes people to think, thinking makes them afraid, fear makes them expect and become biased. Prejudice kills people spiritually. They become dry trees and can no longer perceive anything new. The whole problem starts with misunderstanding. That is why the mission of the Black Adepts is to enlighten and heal people through the Principles of the Teaching. To overcome thinking, give in to action and allow Love and Intention to work in you. Thinking can be used by the Black Adept as a weapon. The first and most important thing for you to use this weapon is not to give in yourself. By thinking, you can test the person and make him doubt himself, his judgment and, above all, the things he believes strongly in. Referring to the Principles and Strategies, you can make the person think and in a certain way. The thought is the ground for him. But it is also a relation to everything surrounding him. When you change his soil, you will change his way of thinking and the attitude towards everything surrounding him. Often, you have to provide "material". This creates uncertainty in the person, and you can guide him. This is when you want to challenge a certain person. To spread the illness of thought massively, you have to find the key figures or propagate an idea that, if followed, will make people think in a certain way. For this purpose, the best "material" you can bring forward is the one for which there is no answer and the effects of it are not known. Thinking deprives us of the courage to build our lives the way we really want and constrains us. Courage is not expressed in feats, but in asserting your lifestyle and ideas, despite the reverse inertia that appears. Heroes always die while the strategist always survives: “The hero is a brave and vigorous man who dies in the name of a cause. The Strategist is the one, by whom the hero dies and becomes a hero. There’s nothing heroic in death. The heroism is in the life.” Book of the Yellow Spider – School of the Black Brotherhood: 50
The strategist always chooses the path of self-preservation. There is nothing heroic about dying. Heroism is in life, in asserting your actions. When you want to awaken someone's awe, show your power indirectly. If you show him your power directly against him, he will rebel and you will no longer be able to guide him. Make the mind of a person to not know what to expect from you. His mind will make him expect the worst and will be in constant fear. You will control it easily. To be unpredictable, contrast the emotional states of others. When others rejoice - you should be serious. If others worry - be calm. This is a small example of how one can provoke an individual to think in a certain way about us. Of course, this method, though universal, must be applied according to the situation and the individual and by observing the Seven Principles and the Occult Rules arising from them. Formula: "Let the fire burn my wrong thoughts."
EXERCISES: 1. If you cannot find the solution to a question at the moment, leave it. Do not start thinking. The solution will come naturally, not by thinking. This is not running away from the problem, but not allowing it to come. If you do not know what to do about something at the moment, that's not a problem. The problem will happen if you start thinking. So if you cannot figure out a solution for something just leave it for the future - now you do not know the answer and you only have to guess, and by making presumptions there is no solution. 2. When you start thinking and do not find an answer or a solution, transform thinking into action or immobility. You can also leave your body in complete immobility and stand with your eyes closed. The other way is to engage in some active activity to get rid of intrusive thoughts.
DO NOT MAKE PRESUMPTIONS
Presumptions come when you move away from the Flame. Then come the uncertainty and fear of the unknown imminent. Presumption means that you do not know, but you hope. Hope means that you have already surrendered. Presuming, you do not know what you're looking for, and you're wandering without direction. The presumption makes you afraid of the unknown. Everything comes from the fact that you have no understanding of things and you do not know how to listen and perceive. Then you can only presume and hope. Presumptions raise doubts. Doubt is the greatest enemy of the Occult Student. Never doubt the Teachings, the Teacher, and yourself. If you begin to doubt, Reality collapses and the story ends for you. So by the end of your days, you will be endlessly miserable, for there is nothing sadder than an endless story. If you doubt yourself, you will lose your strength and abilities. If you doubt your Master, you lose his protection and become deaf to his guidance. If you doubt the Teaching, you lose faith and question your way of life. When you take the Path of the Teaching, you choose a difficult Path, full of trials and difficulties. When you walk along the Path instantly appears the reverse inertia in the form of difficulties and trials that try to stop you. If your life is filled with joy and happiness, it means you are not walking the Path properly. If you walk properly, you will constantly encounter difficulties, pain, and suffering that you have to go through with a smile, strategy and
defending the Principles through your actions. The trial is a sign of choice. It means you're ready to go to a higher level. Never turn your back on the trials. Even the toughest trials are designed to be passed. The trial is a long corridor with a door at the end. The Master takes you into the corridor, but he cannot walk with you. In every trial, you will be alone. You will pass through the corridor only with unshakeable impetus and will. The Teacher will be waiting for you on the other side of the Door. Go ahead, never doubt. Immovability and power come from your faith in the Teacher and the Teaching. Faith, which needs proof and sets conditions, is not a true faith. Your faith will have power if you believe unreservedly, even when it is not logical and not believable. Have the awakeness to feel the trials at the moment they come, not with a delay. A faith cannot be based on logic. There is nothing logical in the Flame, Truth, and Love, but they are the whole Universe. The Truth cannot be explained by man. That is why it is a higher matter than him. Do not try to explain it. Just take it and live it. Get into it, merge and melt. EXERCISES: 1. Never waste time making presumptions. Be Awaken. Seek constantly. Do not stop the natural course of things. Look around from all sides without taking sides. Make a list of things you know and those you do not know. Mark out which of the things you do not know are important to learn and with which you can do without. If the answers that come are confusing, check if you really ask the right questions. 2. Often what motivates people to make presumptions is the fact that they do not know. This is because most people cannot ask the right questions. So if you want to confuse someone, just share some of the truth about something and leave things unsaid, unfinished. Engage the person with some information and stop there. He will start presuming especially when you put him in a competitive situation or in a situation where he has to act, but he has no knowledge. You are supposed, in a way, to make the subject feel guilty that he does not know enough. So you urge him to achieve knowledge about something without preparation and he begins to presume. This happens when you hurry.
DO NOT EXPECT If you expect, you will be constantly surprised and your strategies will fail. If you expect something positive and it does not come, you will be broken. If you expect the worst and something positive comes, you will not be able to see it because you will be prejudiced by your expectation. Even if the expected thing comes, it will not be the way you wanted and you will be surprised. Befalling surprises show that you cannot predict the consequences of your actions. With your expectation, you stop walking along your Path and stay in one place until the expected thing happens. This means that you rely on time. If you count on time, it means you've lost control over your actions. You have to forge your strategies in a way, in which you will not be subordinate to time. Time has a tendency to ruin. Real things are beyond time. You do not live in the past or the future. You live in the present, and all the strategies are being used in the present. You are the one who creates the future. Whoever lives in the past is getting old very quickly. Whoever constantly dreams of the future never grows up. Evolvement is only in the present. If you live in the present, you will never grow old. Strategies exist for things not to just happen, but to happen in the way you want them to. If you postpone your actions for the future, they befall to professional laziness. Laziness spoils the purity of
your actions and they become imperfect. Laziness means inaction, and from this follows the lack of evolvement and follows ignorance. Laziness and thought are the greatest enemies of mankind. Do not leave today's work for tomorrow. Laziness is the natural result of a misunderstanding of the Occult Rules: Do not think and Do not expect. Therefore, do not expect, but accept things as they are and if necessary transform them, referring to the Principles of the Teaching. APPLICATIONS OF THE PRINCIPLE: 1. Get people to expect. This will happen by provoking them to think and languish in ignorance. When they think, they will be afraid and this way they will always expect the worst. This way, you take them out of the present, and they lose control of their actions. Make things happen in a way in which the object does not expect. So he will always be surprised and will have to constantly change his position. Let the surprises have a personal character. This will make the person accept things personally, and this will serve him as a trial. 2. Provoke the laziness in people by overloading them with too much information for processing, materials to process and work to do. You will force them to delay and rely on the future. Blur the consciousness of man by provoking him to dream of the future, or to dig up and reproach the past. To do so, submit the relevant material. This will show if they are worthy to continue on the Path. EXERCISES: 1. Go to a forest or a park with dense vegetation and start walking in the darkness. If it's not absolutely dark you can put a bandage over your eyes. So you will stop relying on the vision that always makes you expect, and you will begin to move inwardly. You will get used to walk in the moment, not in the expectation. 2. There is also a similar exercise with two or more participants in a closed room to strive to find each other, moving slowly, or if the room is small not to touch each other. To achieve efficiency, the expectation defect must be eliminated. After we drew three Occult Rules and we identified the defects of the mind, it is our turn to point out the strategies that lead to victory over the mind. The fight over the mind is a whole Art, an entire Secret Science. The Occult Science of War. The Warrior Art of the Black Adepts. A war in which the enemy is your own mind and the mind of all mankind. A war against the misunderstanding of man and the darkness of his consciousness. Taking on a whole crusade in the name of the Enlightenment of Humanity and the Awakening of the Souls. The Secret Teaching of Adaat Chichik. “Two out of Nine. Second Elder. His name was Adaat Chichik. The Grandfather of Storms. Adaat Chichik was a warrior unsurpassed in brawl because he created war. Adaat Chichik was secretive and mysterious. Therefore common people didn’t even suspect his mystical abilities. Warriors that met him on the battlefield always felt his overflowing strength just as the fisherman smells the coming storm. Should someone challenge him, the eyes of Adaat Chichik turned to lightning bolts, his movements were a flash, and his voice became a rumble of thunder. The edge of his spear was made of black stone received by the Guardian of the Race. With the spear, he had sent three hundred and sixty warriors to the depths of the earth and made their souls serve him day and night. As his feats piled up, he alone chose to live in modesty and solitude. He
lived in the heart of the jungle where no human had ever set foot, and the trees were so impenetrable that sunlight could not reach.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 1 In this passage there is an encoded message about the qualities that a Black Adept must have: to conceal his skills so that no one knows what his real possibilities are; when he enters into battle, his power is indestructible, so that no one will have any doubt of his might; the three hundred and sixty warriors represent the degrees in the circle - that means, that war must be complete and have Wholeness. This also says that the Three hundred and Sixty Formulas are the weapons of the Black Adept. The Adept lives modestly and in solitude. Here are some of the strategies of the Black Adepts in the war against the mind given by Master Adaat Chichik.
STRATEGIES FOR VICTORY OVER THE MIND
“First appeared the Eagle. And the Eagle said: “I rule the sky and gaze from horizon to horizon. You must first remember: In war you must see the enemy before he approaches, to know the problem before it comes forth. Everything is prevented easily before it starts. When you are in the forest, you see a labyrinth of trees and get lost. I see the whole forest and know the path you must take…” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 13 Here Adaad Chichik's council is to always act as preventively as possible. In practical terms, if there is even a low probability that the mind spreads its infection, we must stop it before it begins to think, doubt, expect or make presumptions. When do these processes of the wrong action begin? When the mind is confused and needs to explain something that it cannot be explained. We see that the person in front of us gets a lot of new information, which he does not know how to work with. Before his mind gets activated and begins to think, it is better to intervene preventively and explain the new information in a way that is understandable to him or her so that the mind is calm and controlled. Otherwise, if we do not intervene preventively and in time, the mind will begin to think, and once it becomes prejudiced, we will have the much more complex task of breaking it. That's why the Eagle sees from horizon to horizon. The Eagle's strategy corresponds to the Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." This is one of the meanings of "being ahead of time". If there is no time, there is no mind and there cannot be confusion. Be ahead of time. “Second came the Spider. And the Spider said: “I move in shadows and the dark corners of human thought. I sense the movements and actions of the enemy from his first step. I am not strong enough to attack the enemy on his soil. Therefore I weave many webs in my reign, and as the enemy fouls in them, I strike. Even in peacetime, I prepare for war. I weave the webs long before I have any real need for them. I weave slowly and turn attention to each detail. Therefore my enemy follows my intentions without even realizing it. I rule space and defy the law of gravity. My eight legs lead me to the eight directions of the world. There are no targets too high or too hard to reach as I can climb up the highest mount and then come down to the lowlands. I write the rules of war, and others follow. Take my cobweb as a parting gift.”
Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 17 The strategy of the Spider is not so much in the preventive action immediately before the moment (as in the case of the Eagle above), but rather in a slow and methodical preparation "in peacetime." Peacetime is when the mind is asleep. In this peaceful time, the Spider is preparing for action. In practical terms, it is to observe and study people from afar. How they would react and how they would adopt the knowledge that could be given to them. We know that someone in the near future is going to meet with his relatives with whom he is not in a good relationship. Another has a forthcoming promotion at the office and an appointment to a new post. A third will move to live abroad. Their minds are to face many innovations for which they may not yet have the capacity to comprehend. Therefore, knowing what everyone has ahead of them, we can prepare them from afar. In the case with the relatives, let us turn our attention to the principles of Love to the Souls, to the karma of past lives, to the Souls of Old Enemies, possessing our relatives in this life to challenge us. In the second case (with the promotion), we can turn the attention of the person to the principles of the Leader, the spiritual responsibilities to the Souls of the People, the need for unconditional love and understanding and lack of criticism, and not accepting things personally (See Book of the Yellow Spider , chapters Leader and Shepherd). In the third case with life abroad, let's turn the attention of the person to the need for adaptability, the principles of time, the awakening and the work with the Shadow-states. The Spider is the one who creates the situations in which people enter. In order to acquire the skills of the Spider, be strong in detail. The eagle is strong enough to see the whole picture of life as on a palm of a hand. The spider is strong in detail. “The strength of a stance is quite different from the strength of the motion. Only when you master both, you can be confident in your power. Remember that true power does not seek its equal but a weaker opposition. The river always flows down the valley and never up against the peek. If you sense a stronger opponent, ambush him with perfidy. If you meet an opponent of equal power, delay the clash until you find an edge in your position. Always strike the weak and defenseless. Those that cannot retaliate. If they are not defenseless make sure they cannot strike back. When the fight is over nobody asks who was stronger – you or your opponent. All that matters is who lays dead and who the new master is. Nobody has won a lot by challenging the most powerful.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 19 What does it mean "during a war to seek to attack the weaker"? The river does not run against the spring. It flows from the spring to the sea and sweeps everything in its path. The stronger (the Aware, the Awake, the Flawless), does not seek others awakened or more aware from him. He seeks the weaker ones (those who slave the mind and the temptations of the world) to awaken the Flame in them, lulling or wiping their minds. The river flows downwards to the sea by watering the valleys. The Black Adept does not seek for another like him to compare his strength. Rivers do not compete for which runs faster or which is more extreme. The Black Adept seeks the weaker to awaken them. This is done with the exact words at the right time in the right place. This is the nature of things. The weaker gather around the stronger. The awakened arouses the sleeping and brings them together. “The purpose of the warrior is always to survive and to enter only in battle he can win. With every win, your power will grow and so will the fear in your enemies. Although I am strong, my courage
is not reckless. I count each step to my enemy and measure every leap so that no one can escape ones I set my eyes on them. Take my paws as a parting gift, and you will find no equal in power.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 20 The strength of the Adept lies in the ability to decide which battles he can win and when he can win them. In practical terms, if we see that the person in front of us is confused in his mind and feels good with his illusions; if we see that he is not receptive and does not seek change, there is no point in taking an "attack". This battle cannot be won at this time. This is a moment in which, instead of acting and trying to show the colors to the blind, we can just wait for the right moment. “Seventh came the Bat. So said the Bat: “How is it you propose you could win the war when you know not the secrets of the enemy? The day deceives, and in it, the enemy shows you only what he wants you to see. The hidden strengths of the enemy are seen in the night. I fly unseen in the night and see every move of the enemy, every hideaway, every thought. Even while he sleeps, I creep in his dreams and see his secrets. I cannot be seen because I am not where you look for me. I am without being. I can cast fear and break the spirits of the enemy warriors. The secret of the win lies not always in the strength and the courage. Sometimes stunning and fearing the enemy is just enough. This happens when the enemy is not sure what he sees and hears and thus always assumes the worst. Fear has a long memory and burrows deep into the mind. Fear overcomes. Fear stuns, and you cannot move. Fear aims to rule the mind. This is why we say that if you rule the mind of men, you can control them. The goal is to make them obsessed with you or with something in a specific way. This is control. The shock stuns you, and you cannot react. So learn to stun. If you are able to stun everyone will be under your control, and you will be able to strike swiftly. The stun comes from surprise. The surprise comes from the unexpected. And the unexpected comes with numbing the attention of the enemy.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 28 To be able to beat the mind of a person, you must also see his hidden sides. The human mind always tries to convey its appearance as strong and indestructible, but in most cases, it is like a frightened child stifled by its own fears. The mind of a person cannot be defeated only by speaking and explaining the Principles. While fear rips a person and does not let him be complete, our words go down the drain. In order to have a direct connection with the consciousness of a person, we must first take away his fear. This happens when we awaken the feeling of trust. Trust comes with the unconditional Love to the Soul of a Person. Formula: "Without fear and without shadows." The second step is to deal with the prejudice of the human mind. To do this, we should not give people time to react. Here we have to leave the words in the background and work with pure action. The confused mind is not ready to work with words and understand them correctly. Instead, it is better to bring the person into a trial, into action to acquire Awareness through personal experience, rather than reading a lecture about what is right and what is not, and let him fight against what we have already said with already accumulated prejudices. How can you teach someone to swim? As much as you explain to him how he should relax his body, he will always be afraid. When you place him in the water, then the prejudice vanishes - the experience appears. When we have passed through the preconceptions and fears of the person, we can now communicate directly.
“...When the army has no more warriors, its leader is defeated. In order to tear down the tower do not aim for its top but go for its base. Thus you take the whole tower down. And here comes the secret of my power. I have no head, nor heart. If you cut an arm, I will grow two in its place. Every part of my body can act on its own without the need of heart of a head. Often I alone rip my limbs and give them a life of their own. Even if you remove a part, the others will live on.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 29 In order to tear down the "tower" (the beliefs of the mind), we should not aim at the manifestations of the mind, but search from where the confusion of the mind originates. The Source of Darkness. In a more practical way, we should not address the thoughts and prejudices expressed by a person but look for the root of what confuses him entirely, not just in the specific situation. For example, somebody makes a strong criticism. We should not go into this criticism and look for the cause directly in it. We must realize that it is only the end product of man's confused thinking. We need to take a deeper look at what provokes aggression and criticism in a person. What hasn’t been he able to understand, what hasn’t he become aware of among the Secret Principles and Occult Rules. Instead of explaining why he does not have to criticize us, it is better to explain to him the Principle he has missed to see and that has led him to criticize. “...Therefore heed my lesson. Learn how to separate your strengths and give them independence. Victory does not always come with courage and strength. It comes with the trait to wait out a long time and never make any mistakes...“ Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 30 To beat the mind in a person, no courage or power is needed, but a secret approach. It is the approach that is the hallmark of the Black Adepts. The mind of the person is very confused, so we need to know when we can go to war with it and when we have to wait. If we see that the mind is not ready to hear the voice of the Truth, we should not try to force it. We have to wait for the moment. We need to know how to divide the time of the mind. If we once overcome things and the mind revolts, we make a gross mistake, and we will need a lot more time and effort to overcome this barrier. “Tenth came the Crocodile. And the Crocodile said: “If you constantly strike and chase the enemy you will exhaust your strength. In order to reach one place, the enemy walks a path. Every path has its hurdles and breaking points. If you take on a long road no matter how straight it is, you will eventually cross a river. The river is a definite point your enemy will come across too. You must only ambush him where you know he will appear. Then you will have surprise on your side, and this will throw your enemy into a panic. You will know the terrain beforehand and will rule the space as for the enemy he will be in a new environment. You will have a plan, but your enemy will have to improvise. So secretly lead your enemy on the roads to the river. Wait patiently in the river and sooner or later your enemy will cross your path. Divide your enemy as the river divides the land and you will easily win. Lure, ambush, divide, surprise, make your enemy move and exhaust himself while you gather strength. This is my lesson to you.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 32
The Crocodile's strategy is the "ambush". He does not pursue his "victim." He does not persecute people; persuade them in their uprights, preaching the usefulness of the Principles and the Teachings because he knows he will face his preconceptions and fears. The Crocodile creates a trial for the person. The trial is exactly "the crossing of the river". A trial that will show his weakness. A trial that forces a person to stop thinking and start acting. This is what is meant by "split the enemy" - to divide the enemy's thoughts from his expectations and prejudices. Only after he has "split" the enemy, the Crocodile can afford to explain the "trial" to the person. To give him the lesson. “I am the emissary with a voice and song everyone listens to. I strengthen the peace and make bonds. I bound all the rulers across the world. I convince the enemy to surrender without even lifting his weapon. Even if you defeat the enemy on the battlefield you will hardly win anything in the long term from it without my skills. If you are favored both in war and in peace, you have mastered Awareness.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 33 Linking the "rulers" is the connection between the consciousness of the Black Adept and the person whose mind is to be defeated. In practical terms, this is to show a deep dose of understanding. To become close to the human mind, to understand how he thinks, how he works. It is easier for us to catch him as a friend and lead him on the path of Rightness. This is to get the enemy (mind) to surrender without a fight. This is the method that makes a long-term victory. This is when we take responsibility for the person and become his mentor and start his training. Then we become friends of his mind and step by step we remove the barriers as "thinking", "expectations" and "presumptions". “In order for the warriors to enter the battle in a brawl, they have to be well fed. I raid your enemy’s provisions and eat his food. Without food, there is no war. So if your enemy is superior to you in battle, attack its provisions.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 35 Here the Rat gives us good advice, not to measure forces with the person's mind, but to attack his "provisions" - in other words, the events and the materials that give him reason to think in a certain way. As an example, we can give people who are so convinced that they know something and have ready-made arguments and are ready to argue about everything. Obviously, this is a battle that we cannot win by entering into a controversy with the human mind. Here we say that "our enemy is superior". By "attacking the enemy's provisions and eating his food," we mean, to be very careful what materials we give to the human mind. What we show and say to it. All this is food, a starting point for thinking, expectation, presumptions, and entering into a dispute. We must "eat" the food in advance, which may be harmful to our mission of eliminating the enemy, or else the mind. “I do not let the enemy the sleep. I creep through its camp and spread rumor – true or false. Thus I infect his mind. He does not know what is real and falls in confusion. I know I cannot win in an open fight I dig tunnels under the camp of the enemy and attack while he is asleep. Just when he is the most vulnerable. Thus I take away his sense of security and take the war outside the battlefield. Know also that my brothers and I are many and we are always on the move. Nobody knows the task of the others.
If one falls in battle, this will not stop the work of the others. We reach everywhere and hear everything – every secret passage and the position of the enemy camp. We succeed where everyone else fails.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 36 Here the Rat describes the counter-strategy, how we can confuse the mind instead of curing it. Sometimes the mind cannot be cured easily and it is better to be totally confused, to block and then we can interfere. This strategy is exactly the opposite - here we are giving contradictory materials and starting points from which the mind can be provoked to think, expect, make presumptions. Here we have to choose the right moment to intervene when the mind is already extremely exhausted and the consciousness opens and can hear us. In general, in the battle with the mind, it is not so important what wisdom we can say and share, but what the person is willing to hear and perceive. “Remember my lesson: not everyone is born strong and brave. Manage your strengths and let them lose indirectly into the enemy camp. Watch, eavesdrop, gossip, and tell lies mixed with truth. Eat from the food of the enemy and never let him get a good night’s sleep. The enemy must always be occupied. Thus you will always have the win without any risk. Remember that what the enemy throws away is often more valuable than what he receives. Nothing tells you more about your enemy like what he removes. Everything he throws away bears a mark from him and the story of its use. Remember my lesson: war lies in the details of the enemy and his life outside the battlefield. The battlefield is a mere stage where everyone plays a role. The enemy is himself not in battle but on his dining table and his chamber. You can take away the skill to stealth from me.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 37 Here the Rat reveals a great secret to us. It is important to ask ourselves what does a person’s consciousness do when the mind is not activated and does not operate? What does it aspire to, to what knowledge and interests (its dining table)? What does a person do when his mind sleeps (his chambers)? To what actions and words does he indulge when his mind sleeps? It is these details that show the blank side that was missing in our observations. So far, we have only observed the movements of the mind when it is activated (thinks, expects, creates presumptions, argues). In order to break the enemy (his mind), we must have studied all aspects of his life. Another point is "what the enemy throws away." That is, again the other side of the coin - not what the enemy / the mind says and does, but what does not say and does not do. In order to understand the mind in completion, we must also study the void (idleness). In a practical sense, mostly, but not only - what is expected of a person to say and do, but he does not. Is it deliberate? Or because of ignorance? “In order to beat the enemy, you have to be able to sense his every weakness, his every drop of blood from afar. The one who loses, does it not because his opponent was stronger but because of his own mistakes and weaknesses. So stay at the seabed and make no mistakes. Wait patiently for the enemy to make a wrong move and then drag him down to the bottom. This is my lesson: learn to sense the fear and the weakness of the enemy from afar. It’s not your strength the will drag the enemy down but their own weaknesses. Accept my scent as a parting gift.”
Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 40-41 It is not always necessary to interfere actively in the life of a person to defeat his mind. Often it "self-defeats" itself through the mistakes it makes. If we "scent" like the Shark, the fears and weaknesses of a person and we think that they are enough to form a trial in which to give him the opportunity to learn his lesson, it is preferable to active action on our side. After the trial (piercing the boat), the Shark drags the person to the "bottom of the sea," into the depths of the Secret Knowledge. About the Three Secrets of War: The Jungle, the Sea, and the Hurricane. Master Adaat Chichik himself - the Dragon, implies the Three Ancient Secrets of the Warriors` Art. This topic is very broad and will be discussed in a separate lecture. Here we will only give a general idea. The Jungle, this is the fight with the mind - trees, and shadows. When we come out of the Jungle (the mind), we stand up against the Sea the purity of consciousness. Our original inner peace. Consciousness stays empty until impulse occurs, the Intention. Then the Storm appears which completely transforms our lives. If we use the terminology of the Far East, the Jungle, the Sea and the Hurricane are the same as Yang, Yin, and Dao. About mastering the mind: “Remember when it comes down to the enemy: he is everything you do not understand and do not know. War is the process of knowing and exploration. The sea doesn’t know the land, and so it sends its wave to get to know it. When the water floods the land, the sea had already explored it, and there is no enemy. They become one. This is war.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 48 Adaat Chichik - the Dragon, speaks in this passage not so much about the "victory" over the mind in others as about mastery of one's own mind. If above we were focused on how the Black Adept defeats the mind in others, here we are talking about the victory over our own mind. We need to explore in detail our own mind, how it responds in different situations. It is necessary to be able to look from the side and also through the eyes of others, how they themselves see us. This is a complete self-observation. We will not always have the opportunity to explore a foreign consciousness from so close. That is why we need to explore our consciousness in every possible opportunity. Knowing your "mind" and how it acts and works, helps to understand the mind as a whole phenomenon and to conduct "successful military actions". Self-knowledge is done with dedication and a conscious quest for trials, not running away from them. Trials must be experienced consciously and with Awakeness, otherwise, they will repeat again and again. Whoever wishes to overcome his mind and reach the depths of the ocean, to the Secret Knowledge, must undergo severe trials and sufferings. This is the Path of the Worthy, Path of the Chosen. When you start to shine through your sufferings, then you absorb them up, the mind withdraws and the Door to the Homeland begins to open. We become the conductor of the Secret Knowledge. Whoever fine-draws thinks and expects, blocks the natural flow of energy. The river is drying up. A blocked artery is obtained. Only the one who overcomes the mind can acquire a Mission. Whoever has a mission, besides energy, can also develop the Power. Energy is a phenomenon for general purposes; the Power is a phenomenon for special purposes. We join the Energy as a stream, and the Power is summoned only by those worthy of the trials.
Formula: "Ahaar, teach me to see the sun in my enemies." Formula: "Ahaar, make me invisible to all my enemies in the past, present, and future." Formula: "Ahaar, petrify with lava all my enemies."
THIRD KEY IN THE THIRD PRINCIPLE: "THE SUN" The third key in the Third Principle is the "Sun". The Sun is pure consciousness, the cleansed mind. Pure Intention. The mind has desires and preferences - places one before another. The Sun has no desire - it shines equally for all. This is the step in which a person becomes an Adept. The step of initiation. The Sun is the mind that has transformed itself into a superior mind. If the mind has the quality of shrinking as darkness, the Sun has the quality of spreading like the light. The mind is ignorance, and the Sun carries the Sacred Knowledge. The mind has the need to argue, and the Sun is in harmony with the Galaxy. The Principle of the Sun is the sun's ray that reaches the one we dedicate it to. From this Third Key of the Third Principle, we can draw the Occult Rule: "Enlighten the Path of the Shadowy." Translated in an Occult way - "Enlighten the Misled and the Unknowing." Obviously, it is about helping, and here is the time to ask the question: which people can we help and which ones can we not? Should we help on our own initiative or only if we are asked for help? In which situations we could not respect the will of a person and help? If someone does not ask for help from us, when can we help and when not? In which case can we refuse to give support and in which cases do we must help? Sometimes we have to let people learn from their mistakes and not interfere with their actions and their karma. In other cases, we can help without been asked for help. The Black Adept always serves the Souls of men, because the Flame is in each of them. But "service" and "help" often vary greatly. Sometimes, in order to serve someone's Soul faithfully, you do not have to help his mind or help him on a material level, so he can learn his lessons. Sometimes someone comes and asks for help and often actually needs help, but not the type of help he thinks he needs. We will answer all the above questions one by one. Which people can we help and which - not? As a rule, we can help all people, but the question is which one of them make an exception. There are almost no such people, but there are situations in which it is better not to help. There is a popular word: "The Lord helps, but does not bring you into the cot." This very well describes the service of the Black Adept. We can give guidance and advice to the person, but he has to make his own decision. An actual example: A person suffering from diabetes has a stroke. A close encounter with Atafari (see Book of the Chosen Ones, chapter "Death"). This is the moment to interfere and help his Soul to awaken from the sleeping Flame. How the help could be expressed: Formulas, tips, talks, occult exercises, and lectures... Naturally, he must ask for a change in his life. In his diet. In everything. In the real case, the person did not take a note and continued a degrading lifestyle - without spiritual sight and pursuit, breaking daily almost all Principles and Occult Rules. A diet with almost no water, instead of carbonated beverages and a lot of cigarettes every day, and no physical exercises. Result: a second stroke. Again, no change in his behavior. We can continue to send Formulas to this person, but we no longer have the right to interfere directly and teach him. He makes his own choices. The person from this story died not long after the second stroke. Sometimes it's better to be able to suffer from a mistake and return into a new body and begin to cleanse. In short, the duty calls us to bring the Flame to everyone. But we have no right to
continue to interfere. If we see that this person has made a firm choice to walk with his back to the Flame, we have no right to catch up with him to bring him back to Rightness. Which is the exception? When we should not help? If we see that someone has demonized (that is to say, it is dangerous not only for himself but for others), infects people with fear, prejudice, hatred, anger... to such a person, we must send Formulas and help him in secret, but we should not try to change him. Why? He is a trial for the people. He is sacrificed to degrade, so others can evolve. Christ would never become Christ if Satan was not there to tempt him. The most unfortunate are not those who infect others with their wrong thoughts and words, but those who do nothing and have no evolvement at all. This is the category which we should be especially careful with. Another example of non-helping is if we see that someone is preparing to do something wrong - a serious crime or to do something irreversible... If he seeks personal help for himself - for example, suffers from illness and comes to us for a cure - here we should not treat it. It is better for him to remain ill and eventually die than to heal him so that his Soul can accumulate negative karma. In such case, helping someone can mean letting him physically die to save him from a heavier fate. This is part of the Black Adept service. First of all service to the whole human race, then to the Soul of each individual. Assistance to bodies and mind is the ultimate priority. Here's what Master Amekran says: “The path of Amekran leads him and his Apprentices deep into the jungle where they found another village that had also suffered from the bandits’ raids. There were only women and children left. All the men had died defending the village. Amekran’s and his Apprentices’ attention was drawn by a group of boys who were swinging maces at the trees nearby. Despite being too young to have reached puberty, they stood out with their great physical strength. So Amekran asked them why they wouldn’t help the women rebuild the village instead of swinging weapons. One of the boys answered: “We have no desire becoming builders but warriors. Our fathers were killed by bandits, so we are training in order to avenge. Teach us how to be warriors, oh you, who knows the ancient secrets.” Amekran reached his left hand towards the boys and stunned them. With his right hand, he took his black stone and split their veins open as he passed by each of them. Soon their blood ran out, and the boys fell down lifeless. The women cried, and chaos ensued. Amekran’s Apprentices were confused and terrified by the infanticides their Master committed. So Amekran said: “The old man dies, the father dies, and so does the son. So does the river of time flow. If the son dies before the father – the river dries. The unguided strength and hatred breed spiritual orphans and plant the seed of evil in the world. They create the men who attacked this village. This was the fate of these children who sought to avenge by walking the path of violence and destruction instead of rebuilding the houses and breathe new life into their people. The one who is filled with hatred and his mind clouded with revenge should not yield weapon. If someone allows this, he brings a wolf among the sheep. The fire can only be extinguished while it is small and had not spread. The problems must be solved before they appear. The enemy must be stopped before he had risen up against you. The opposing army must be defeated not on a battlefield but in its sleep. To eradicate evil before it had manifested this is the Sharpness of the Great Evil.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sharpness: 6, 7 “Do we help on our own initiative or only if when we are asked for help?”
The service of the Black Adept is, as a general rule, an initiative - it means that the Adept always helps whenever he sees this to be necessary, without waiting for someone to ask. The methods of the Adept's help are, as a rule, secret and hidden, not obvious. Real help is the hidden help. The rule is not to help publicly and openly, but always serve the interests of the Soul. This means that in order to serve we sometimes do not have to help. Example: We see that an old woman is caring a heavy luggage and has to cross the street. There is no need to urge us here - it is obvious that she has been sent, for us to help her. It is proper to help her with the luggage. Another example: we can see a young man bending from heavy luggage and preparing to cross the street. It is clear that his burden is given to him so he can learn to bear his responsibility and that is the best weight for him. It is given to him to learn - we should not help him. If we see that the young man is very distracted and we feel that Atafari is nearby, we can only remind him to be careful when he crosses the street… We must never forget that the service is to the Soul, not to the body. The body can also be treated, but in this case, it is our duty to enlighten the person about the relationship between Soul and body and that it should be treated with extraordinary care as your personal temple - the body. In the relationship between Brothers and Sisters, it is not right to wait for someone to ask for help. If we see that a Brother or a Sister having a problem, we need to give a hand - that's why the Black Brotherhood is like the Sea - all the drops are a compound in a single whole. When a Brother or a Sister needs help with something, it is right for them to seek help (provided that they cannot cope with themselves) among the Brothers and Sisters, not among outsiders. In cases, when someone asks for help, we must first define what the Soul really needs. A stranger meets us the street, asking for money. He needs help. But it`s not money what he really needs. He says that he has no food, and let's assume that's exactly what it is. He thinks the money will solve the problem. And this will probably help him but only for this particular case. Still, the problem is not solved. If we give him money, we help the mind (and the body respectively), but not the Soul. There is a help, but not service. Moreover, by giving him such an easy solution to the problem, we accustom him to the "easy" way, which is not a service to the Soul and is harmful to man. We need to help him find the root of the problem. It is right to deny him money. We can offer him a one-time paid job - so we'll have more time with him to better get in touch with his Soul. We can help him realize that the problem is not in the money but in the fact that has no job. Still, that's not the root either. He has no job because either he is not prepared or did not look right. And for this, there is a reason. There is also a reason for not receiving support in time from his relatives. The root can be that he has decided to look at poverty as a burden, not as a gift. Only after he can enjoy this trial of poverty, he will be able to make changes in his life. When he understands why he was given this trial. In short, the Black Adept does not automatically follow the whims of the wandering minds but has the duty to try to reach their Souls and understand what they really need and give them the opportunity to understand it and give them an initial boost. Then it depends on the person, whether he will understand the lesson or not and what choices he will make. Here's what Master Amekran says: “Amekran said to them: “When a person is at a crossroad he doesn’t need help or handout. Those who stop walking their path do not deserve help. When the beggar picks a direction and walks towards it then everything will fall into place and he won’t be in need anymore. And now each of you must choose a direction. When the choice is made I will continue with the chosen.”
Book of the Chosen Ones - Sharpness: 10
When can we not comply with the will of a person and yet help? If someone does not ask for help from us, when can we help and when not? Here we have a situation where we see the necessity to help a Soul, but the person directly (tells us in plain text that he does not want our help) or indirectly (he does not listen to our advice) tells us that he does not want our support. The Soul will never repel us if our intentions are pure. The one, who can repel us, is the mind of the person (his misunderstanding, his pride, his prejudices, his expectations). Nobody can forbid us to help the Soul when it is necessary. In this line of thoughts, the wishes of a person's mind are of no value. The mind has no say. Simply, if the mind does not want to cooperate with us, we must take care of the Soul in secret, through Formulas, Rituals, by giving trials and perception around and through other people, but not directly, in order not to confuse the mind further. When we help, it does not have to be to solve the person's personal trials instead of him but to give him guidance on how to handle himself. “In which cases can we refuse to give our help and in which cases we ought to help?” Our help is not only for the people but for the whole Universe. And our little brothers the animals need our support. And the trees... and the stones... Our duty is to all of them. Sometimes help to animals, plants, and minerals is much more important than helping humans. With them, the connection is much easier, because the mind is not there to interfere and we can have a direct contact. Concerning the Service and the help... To summarize: The Service comes always before any form of assistance. The Service is always in, on, in front, and only through the Flame. Afterward is the Service to the Brotherhood, then to all mankind and then to each Soul separately. When we help, it must be from the Soul, secretly hidden, so that no one else understands it. So darkness couldn’t come between us and the one we help. When we help, we must have put our mind to sleep, and have directed our Intention. If our mind still blusters - we better wait and not help. If the mind is not put to sleep, then we have no right to help. Even if we try to help, we are more likely to be obstructive. If our mind is not put to sleep, there may be some expectation that the help will come back to us in return. Thoughts may appear - whether we are helping right or not. Hesitation may appear. If you hesitate you have no right to do anything. The hesitation is a very bad sign. Sometimes it's better to take action, to be wrong, so you can correct yourself than to sit in one place and hesitate. Do you feel that you hesitating, either shut your mind completely or take action, but come out faster from the state of hesitation? Never think that you're the one helping - you do not help. Helps the Flame inside you. You're just a transmitter. If the Flame inside you is not awakened, how can you help? And if the Flame is not awakened, what is the purpose to help? Someone has been helped and is better than before, but the Flame is not there, and then what's the point? Temporary improvement to have a complete downfall? If you help with a heart full of desires, there will be no benefit of your help. The Intention should be directed properly. If we allow ourselves to help, not to serve, but just to satisfy our ego, we fall into mortal danger and sometimes there is no return from this path. When we talk about helping, support is conditional. What is your approach to the Souls? If you go with the idea of "I’m helping" you lay the foundations of the kingdom of the mind. There are certain words and phrases which
ought to be avoided whenever possible unless strictly necessary and to the point. The negative particle "no". Words such as "I", "Must". Question words like "Why." These words should be used with great care. Each of them can become a dangerous trap. After examining the Three Keys in the Third Principle, we will look at some connections between the Third Principle and the other Principles. The connection between the Third Principle and the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word). Occult translation: "To become Flawless, you must make your entire life a Sun." This is how you master the art of the Sun, namely to reach the deepest corners of the Soul of Man. Make your Unconditional Love, not just a gift for a few, but direct it to everyone. This means no longer have close and distant people, but to grant your love equally to all - as does the Sun. Here we can draw the Occult Rule: "First become the Sun (Flame) and then speak (have the Word)." The connection between the Third Principle and the Second Principle (Leave everything that is unnecessary). Occult translation: "To be chosen as a servant of the Flame, you must leave the world (the mind)." This happens when you voluntarily choose to put your mind to sleep and always put the Flame in the first place in your life. Then everything automatically remains in the background. When you have the Flame when you are a Sun (you have a Mission), everything else becomes unnecessary for you without being forcing. It happens in a natural way. From here we can draw the Occult Rule: "The path begins only when you face the Flame for the first time." The connection between the Third Principle with itself. (Turn your Mind into a Sun). Occult translation: "The sun leads the mind to change." This, in turn, translated: "The Secret Knowledge transforms the human consciousness." This is the reverse movement of the Principle. In one direction, we strive for the Sun. In the other direction, we see how the Sun treats us. This is to show that the Flame is in the relation between the Flame in us and the Flame in the person in front of us. From us to him and from him to us until we finally become One. Absolute Flame. Hence the Occult Rule: "Where the Flame is - there I am." The connection between the Third Principle and the Fourth Principle (Work with what is invisible to others). Occult translation: "Work with the Sun, which is invisible to men." This is the hidden support we provide. This is also the secret service to the Flame. The Service should not be obvious and exemplary. When you say, "I have helped," you are still the mind that yet has to become the Sun. When you consciously understand that the Flame is, who really IS, and you are his dependent, then you are already a Sun for the Worlds. Hence the Occult Rule: "Be hidden and let the Sun (the Flame) in you speaks." The connection between the Third Principle and the Fifth Principle (Take a position before every single moment). Occult translation: "Be constantly a sun for all, before every moment." That is, do not be a Sun that shines only during the day. You must be the Sun through day and night. In other words, do not serve only when it is good for you or when it is easy for you. You have to be a Sun, to serve the Flame when it is most difficult. When no one else can and does not dare to serve. Here we can draw the following Occult Rule: "Be Always Unchanged in your Intention."
The connection between the Third Principle and the Sixth Principle. The Third Principle resembles in part the Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey." Between the two Principles, there are significant differences and nuances. In the Third Principle, the Adept transforms himself to become one with the Flame. There is a transformation and it is internal. In the Sixth Principle, transformations are on the Universe outside of the Adept. There he already appears as a Healer and a Creator. In the Third Principle, he is the Warrior who fights against the "mind" in the name of the Truth. Turning your mind into the Sun also means burning your mind. What is the Sun? Light and heat. How do we fight and defeat the mind? With the Light of the Secret Knowledge and the warmth of the Unconditional Love. These are the weapons of war in the war against the mind. In the Sixth Principle, we are no longer talking about a Warrior, but a Creator who has attained the Sun and, through it, backed bricks from the mud, burning the weeds, and making the flowers to give honey. Hence the Occult Rule: "Choose the Flame and let it transform your life as its Intention." The connection between the Third Principle and the Seventh Principle (Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile). Occult translation: "Smile to your enemy (mind)". That is, not to postpone the war against the mind, but to consciously look for the struggles with the mind in order to be able to overcome it. Smile, because if you did not have this enemy, what would you overcome? Another translation: "Smile to the Sun every time you see it." The sun is transient, it is not constant. In other words, be grateful and appreciate what you are given and when given. Another occult translation: "Do not let the Sun go down." Do not let yourself grow old. Old age has little to do with time and years, but with the state of Intention. What drives you away from old age is the smile. Hence the Occult Rule: "Do not make mistakes in your Flawlessness."
UR Some people have wrongly accused the Devil for all of the Evil in the World. But the Devil had nothing to do with it - he had the simple task to tempt, unable to create neither good nor evil. Evil was hidden in the human mind. This is the war that must be won at all costs. Only who overcomes this old enemy will be able to pass into the Sixth Solar Race. Real life begins only when you see this enemy and declare him a war... So the sleeping one wakes up, the sick one heals, and the spark in the unspoken becomes the Flame... Brotherly, Moriel Yamanu School of the Black Brotherhood, November, 2018.
CHAPTER 4: FOURTH PRINCIPLE
THE THIRD CHOICE
Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others."
There are several keys within this Principle. The first is: work. Work means "be aware," "build the Hill of Darkness in yourself," "build the Temple in yourself". "Work" calls for the Path to be pursued with persistence, rather than through a one-time action. The Temple is not built for one day. It is built gradually. “That what is built quickly and easily – even more quickly and easily falls. The tower is not built in one day. It’s built in seven days.” Book of the Yellow Spider – The Cobwebs of the Spider: 4 Here the Ancients imply, that the construction of the Temple (the Tower), takes place for Seven Days. Of course, it is not meant literally for seven days, but it implies the Seven Principles. When can we say that we have a Temple? When we build Flawlessness, through the Seven Principles. The Yellow Spider implies, that the secret is not only to follow separate principles and ignore the others but to systematically follow the Seven Principles and search for the hidden links between them. If we simply implement the Principles, we will come to a mechanical understanding, bereaved of depth. Then the Principles will no longer be principles, but merely moral rules of conduct, that limit mistakes, but do not lead to Awareness. Here comes the comparison with the Ten God's Commandments from the Old Testament. Can you give commandments to the Adepts and the Devoted? You can not. The Adept is not governed by Commandments, but by Principles. The difference is that the Principle requires accumulated interpretive skills to be applied. The commandment is for the earthly people. The commandment is obvious. The Principle is hidden. The commandment requires obedience. The Principle requires searching and interpretation, spiritual vision. Master Razaor also notes how the Temple is being built: “Razaor said to them: “The pyramid is the root of the Flame, but the pyramid is not built from its base but the top. The Pyramid is the Sign [The Pyramid of Razaor is not a four-walled, but a tetrahedron. All edges are equal.]. The building block that creates the Universe.” Book of the Legacy - Temple: 6 In this connection, it is not a coincidence, that according to the ancient language of Arhamal, the number 4 corresponds to the form of the tetrahedron (a Double Pyramid). The point is that the Temple of Consciousness and Flawlessness does not start from the
foundation, but from the point that is the Flame. Since the pyramid is Double, we start from one peak, through this peak (the Flame), we extend our consciousness until we reach the base of the pyramid and from there we strive for the other peak to close the cycle. Master Razaor also gives us the Key how to "work with the invisible", how to serve: “The Temple needs your service every day and night. If you serve the Flame only when you want to, this is no service. If your service keeps you up with the Flame in hand – this is the real service. What tires you and lulls you away is not real. Only the thing you’ll want to always have with you is Real. Only this is the real priesthood. You must keep the Flame alive always. If you let it even once your whole Temple could crumble, and you must build it anew, and a pyramid is not built in a day. Never build two pyramids at the same time because one will shatter. The can only be one pyramid. A pyramid is not built by hand but by voice. It is not made of stone but sound. The pyramid is a Key to our antiquity, to our Testament, to the Teachings of the Ancient Black Brotherhood. The Pyramid is an Eye – a Hand– a Voice. The top is an Eye. The edges are a Hand. The sides are a Voice.” Book of the Legacy - Temple: 7
It is necessary to seek, (to work) with the relations between the Principles (the invisible). The work must be methodical and systematic, otherwise, it will not bear fruit. Exercise 1: What we can do, is to spend an hour each day, in which to contemplate the hidden and the secret. The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood can be useful to us. We can read consecutively or open a random page and ponder the meaning of the written. Exercise 2: To look at the sky and the clouds and try to imagine where they come from, what they saw, where they would go, what they would see. The contemplation of heaven is the search for the miracle, the invisible, the hidden. Seeking the different from what we see every day on the ground, full of human misunderstanding. The Earth is fragmented and petrified - the sky is one whole. And what is beyond it? Until where does your sight reach? Look to the sky... The second key in this Principle is "the invisible". What is the invisible thing to look for? The Flame. Work with the Flame, which is invisible to others. In other words, work with the Flame in yourself to merge with the One Flame. The Flame is not something that is sought to be found. The Flame cannot be found. The Flame lives through search, through service. That is why "work" is interchangeable with "search". Seek the Flame, which is invisible to others. We can interpret these words as a search for what others cannot see. Let's first determine what is obvious. What everyone can see and then try to get insight into what others are missing. If someone sees something and we see it as well, we will not go far enough - we can only get in touch better with the person, but we cannot take him along the Path or instruct him. To lead him, we need to see what others have not been able to see. If someone has seen something and we only say, "Yes, yes, yes, you are right...", where is the hidden? At such times, we must be especially careful not to get trapped. The obvious is a dangerous trap. We get used to seeing only the obvious, we stop believing in the existence of the invisible, and we lose the connection with Antiquity.
How do you seek for the invisible? Let's pay attention to the actions of the people. The action and the outcome are the obvious things everyone can see. But the Adept seeks the cause of action. There is also something that is behind this cause and that is the Intention. The person who committed the act knows the cause, but he does not always know the Intention. The reason is what makes us do something. The Intention is the hand of the Ancient, which gives us reasons that put us on a certain path. Who knows only the reason, but not the Intention will always be lost. Exercise 3: Watch the flame of a candle. Look at the base of the flame. Where does the flame come from? See the tip of the flame. Where does the flame go? Seek the invisible. Everyone will see just a flame that shines a light. The Adept will see the hidden before and after the flame. Exercise 4: "Ahaar, teach me to see in the invisible." The 55th Formula of Disciple Formulas, Chapter "Words", Book of the Chosen Ones. The Fourth Principle "Work with what is invisible to others" has another key. “Others”. Who are the others? This is not a reference only to the uninitiated. "Others" means external. Those who are outside. Outside the Center. Outside the Flame. The others are the shadows that the Flame throws. Everything that has failed to be One with the Flame has become a Shadow. The Shadow is an opportunity not realized. The Shadow is an opportunity for something to happen. To the Shadow is given the choice to return to Flame change constantly or remain a Shadow. Looking for what is invisible to others (the shadows) means to look for what is hidden behind the shadows - the Flame. In every Shadow lies the Flame, ready to manifest and scatter the Shadow, as long as the Flame is deliberately Chosen. You are not born to be "the others." You are not born to be yourself. Who are you, if the Flame is not awakened in you? You were born to be One with the Flame. The search for the invisible also has the meaning of service. Serving the Flame. The Service to the Flame is mainly through search, constant search. Continuous search. Whoever gives up, merges with others and becomes lost. The way of serving the Flame is by allowing it to conquer our consciousness until it entirely fills it. Exercise 5: Let us spare time every day to serve the Rituals and Formulas. This is how we approach the Flame. Thus we begin to see the Flame everywhere around us in our everyday life. Thus we recognize the Flame in everything around us. Seeking the invisible reveals the mechanism in which everything manifests itself in the worlds. Whoever makes things happen is someone who works with what is invisible to others. “Nine out of nine. Ninth Elder. His name was Atendaji – The one behind the Mirror. The Seer of the Invisible. The one that was making things happening. Atendaji’s mission was to be a prophet and to choose the ones who will make the prophecies come true. The one to create Reality. During the day Atendaji would look at the clouds and the sky, which were changing their forms. They were bringing news of what was happening around the world. At night Atendaji would stare at the stars studying their history. He was able to listen to the wind and talk with the animals. When Atendaji would close his eyes, the night would come. In the darkness of the night, he would create forms and images that would come to life as soon as he opened his eyes.”
Book of the Chosen Ones - Visions: 1 Exercise 6: To practice "peering into the invisible," we can follow Master Atenadji's example: watching the stars at night, listening to the wind - what it tells us and brings as information. The story that it tells us. Listen and watch the animals, especially those in the natural environment. Exercise 7: Practice a bow. We set a lighted candle in front of us. We look at the flame and bow towards it, closing our eyes and whispering ”Ahaar”. We must have the feeling that we are in the water of the sea deep to our waist, and by bowing we dive into the water. “The secret of the Mastership is hidden in the bow. The bow to the Teacher. The bow to the Black Father. The bow into the Darkness. With the bow, you see the immeasurable height of the Teacher, the immenseness of the Darkness and create an Intention in yourself. Create the Urge. The bow is the connection between the Teacher and the Disciple. The bow is a sacred attitude. If you bow to your Teacher, whole Worlds will bow to you. The bow is the Door.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – Black Masters: 2
The Fourth Principle can also be translated as follows: Search for the unmanifested, before it happens. The invisible is what will become visible. In this case, the Fourth Principle makes contact with the Fifth Principle: "Take a position before every single moment." It is keeping watch over things before they happen, we see what might have been before it became reality. Then we see that besides realizing or leaving the impulse in the invisible and not realizing it, there is also a third choice. The Third Choice. The Hidden Choice. The Third Bank of the River. Let's Choose the Flame and let it guide our lives. A person without the Flame is always lost, always wants more and more and never enough, never feels complete. Whoever chooses to serve the Flame no longer has himself, but has the Flame. And the Flame is more than anything you could be. Whoever chooses the Flame does not travel, but is sent to the Mission; he no longer desires unnecessary things because he has everything he needs; he never complains because he feels complete and is part of something higher that gives a real meaning to his life. “When I walk – I walk in the Flame. When I stop – I am in the Flame again. I hear the Flame everywhere. When I look, I always see the Flame. I am the One who shares the Flame and therefore you think of me as Flame.” Book of the Veiled Elder - Mission: 13 The choice in the manifested is limited. The Adept does not choose what is obviously offered but seeks the choice of what nobody has seen yet. What is obviously offered, has been chosen many times and there is no path there-there is a dead end. The Adept seeks the hidden, to choose it for the first time and to form a Path to guide, those who follow him.
To have a Third Choice, there must be "discernment". To see in depth. The choice is related to our action and behavior, while the First Principle relates to the word. In the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word), we choose the correct words that outline our Path to the Flame. In the Second Principle (Leave everything that is unnecessary), we remove the unnecessary burden, that would prevent us from reaching the goal, the burden due to which, we have not yet set off along the Path. We are ready to go now, but where? Where's the Path to the Flame? We look, but we do not see it. We listen, but we do not hear it. Here comes the Third Principle (Turn your Mind into the Sun). When we master the mind (the shadows), the Flame appears as a point on the horizon and we understand it - that's it! I will go there. This is my Path. The Third Principle is related to our thoughts, as the First is related to our words, and the Fourth, the Fifth, and the Sixth - to our actions. We have already seen the Path. Now we should choose it consciously. This is done by the Fourth Principle (Work with what is invisible to others). Here we begin to move towards the goal. The three first Principles are a preparation for the action that awaits us in the Fourth Principle. The Fifth Principle is the Awakeness, that is needed while we are in action, as we walk along the Path, while we are acting. The Fourth Principle is to make the Choice. The Fifth Principle is to maintain the right course in your path without deviating. The Sixth Principle is the principle of transformation - the obstacles we face on our Path. How do we process them? The Seventh Principle is how we accept the processed and transformed. The Seventh Principle is the Sacred Knowledge itself. We know which is the Path we are going on and we will not allow anything to divert us. We will go to the end and even further. The Third Choice, or known as the Third Bank of the River, is the Adept's methodology. Selecting the hidden. What is not obvious. The mind reaches Two. The light is represented by the number Three. The mind says this or that. The light tells us: there is something hidden, which you can not see. It can be yours if you choose it without seeing it. It may seem at first glance that the Third Choice is a risk, but there is no risk when we place the Flame in the Center of our life. The risk is in the mind, which offers us the obvious, which will lead us to a slow death. The Third Choice is to be able to see beyond what others can see. This is the method by which the Adept unites people. This is the Choice that the Adept makes. “We were walking with my Teacher through an Ancient Desert, but there was no one to see two veiled strangers. We reached a dune, and the Desert was bathed in red. My Teacher took a sieve out of his dressing-gown and started to scoop up with it. Golden pieces remained in the sieve and He collected the sieved sand into a box. He said: “Don’t work with the obvious which remains, but with what passes the sieving. And you, what have you chosen – the gold or the sand?” I replied: “For me, Teacher, I chose the sieve.” Book of the Black Eagle – My Teacher: 6
Which are the things incompatible with the Third Choice. The prohibitions. If you forbid something, you make it more desirable. If you forbid something and a person desires it in his heart, the temptation is not overcome. We need to make the Third
Choice. We have to look for what is not visible to the naked eye. There are no clear prohibitions in the Brotherhood. To drink alcohol or not? The prohibition kindles the desires, and they are more dangerous than the alcohol itself. That is why the Teaching of the Black Brotherhood is more than any religion, because it needs interpretation, and in order to be interpreted, you need understanding and Awareness. In the system of the Black Brotherhood, there are no forbidden things. Principles are followed, and one follows self-control, following these principles. There is no authority to punish him. To drink alcohol or to forbid it? The problem is not in the alcohol but in the addiction and temptation. For some it is good to drink, for others - not. The prohibition does not allow you to choose something better, but it restricts you to follow a will, which is a fine form of violence. No form of violence can be tolerated in the School of the Black Brotherhood and the Teaching of the Black Brotherhood. The spiritual development is not achieved through the imposition of prohibitions but by the passing of Principles through which one can regulate himself as much as his strength allows him. The responsibility that each person carries and the karma that he carries are individual. When a person approaches the Flame and becomes an Adept, then he begins to bear responsibility for all Souls. In this line of thought, religions or at least most of them are moving away from the Path, since they impose prohibitions. In addition to the prohibitions, it is typical for religions, that for every religion there is only one faithful way, and all others are confused and disbelievers. All religions are given as a start on the path to Antiquity. But religion is only the first step. One step does not form a Path. Religion is something we can only get through and move on. If we choose a religion – we choose the way of ignorance. Religion is like a fitness bicycle you turn the pedals, but really get to nowhere. You stand in one place. The emphasis in religions is on rules and prohibitions. Behavior in the social environment. But this is not the purpose of religion. It is given to teach you to love God. Should we drink alcohol? Yes and no. It is important to keep our mind and judgment clear. Should we eat meat? Yes and no. But how can we serve the Flame, if we contribute to the injury of our little brothers the animals? Should we love our close ones? It is important to always love the One. This is where the love for man and the little brothers (the animals) comes from. Should we help those who ask for help? Yes and no. We must awaken the Flame in them. Their specific request is secondary. They do not need the material. They need to choose the Flame and from there they will get everything they need. Should we be good, but hypocritical or evil, but sincere? It is always important to be truly loving. When the Flame is manifested through us, it can sometimes be like a sunlight, that can warm people, sometimes it can be like a frosty wind, that will sweep away the impure and only the worthy will remain. The Third Choice, the Key, is always beyond the set dilemma. It is hidden and needs to be sought. There is no Third Choice in religion. There you either believe or do not believe. You are either a believer or an unbeliever. The Black Adept is not a believer. He's not religious. He is divine, godlike. God's Son. The Black Adept has chosen the Flame, the Flame has chosen him and the Black Adept has adopted the Flame in a deep way. There is no longer any need for evidence and beliefs. Let's look at some of the Ancient Teachers' Words about the Choice: Master Ahaar:
“The new time had already begun. Alp Kubar Jura has long since given up on teaching. Alp Kubar had doubted the Black Eagle, and the Mission and the fog had descended over his life. Alp Kubar lost his path under his feet. He strayed further away from the Homeland and was greeted by the World. But the World proved to be poor. Often Alp Kubar gazed the sky and sought the wonders he once had in his life. The Lost Temple where he was unseen for the World. The Temple he was himself, and anything was possible. The Darkness accepted him there without judging or demanding a change. In the Temple, he found the family he always yearned for. Alp Kubar realized that the World was ruined, but it was already too late. The Black Eagle saw his sadness and said: “You saw me fall and hurried to denounce to all. But I was never falling – I was taking a flight straight to my aim. You thought that I am limited by the world and its, rules, but I was merely strengthening my wings in preparation for the long flight I was made for. You thought that if I am no longer in the sky, I will not be able to guide your earthly path. Know that I have never lost sight of you. I was only patiently waiting for you to find your way and pass your Trial. Even if you no longer have the Eye of the Eagle, you can never hide from the shadow of its wings. The first time I gave you the Flame only for you to lose it. Now, I give you the Flame a second time for you to chose it. The Path will only show when the choice is decisive and final. Then the Sun will alight your life once more. When the decision is made, close your eyes and take a step into Darkness. I await you there.” Book of the Black Eagle – Ahaar’s Disciples: 11 In connection with the above passage: "The first time I gave you the Flame only for you to lose it. Now, I give you the Flame a second for you to choose it." These are the small miracles that happen in each of us. The things that show us the fairytale and the wonder. The Flame is revealed when we are not ready yet, so we can lose it. Only then we will be able to search for it all the time, for all life. Thus the Flame hints to us of its existence and then hides in order for us to search for it. What is important is not finding but searching for it. This is the Choice - to choose to search only for the Flame and this way to discover all the other Worlds. Master Razaor: “The Earth swarmed with various creatures, and we were called the Patrons due to our high growth and mystical abilities. Men had no knowledge of how to live properly, and many did not survive. The sun burnt them in the day and drained their energy. The night was freezing for them, and they became prey to the beasts. They had no knowledge of how to grow crops from the earth nor how to catch the animals. They had no knowledge of the Laws of the Universe, the Elements and the power of fire. They grew lower in numbers with every day. The Black Brotherhood could save or destroy all creatures and also create new ones. Razaor was the one to decide. And Razaor said: “The Black Brotherhood does not destroy. The Black Brotherhood does not safe. The Black Brotherhood keeps the Secret, and only the worthy will be devoted to it. Thus we are the Patrons of the Human Kind. We will give man a priceless gift that he alone will have eternally – infinite freedom of choice. The choice will destroy man. Man will be marked by the Black Brotherhood – everyone will be led to a Trial, and through his choice, only the worthy will pass and be enlightened in the Mystic Studies and the Secret Tongues.” Book of the Veiled Elder - Dawn: 3 The above passage talks about the role of the Black Brotherhood. The Black Brotherhood keeps the Path to the Flame as the main line of the Service. A person is
given the right to choose to follow this Path. The Brotherhood does not save or punish anyone for his wrong choice. It is therefore important to spread the Words of the Elders through the Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood. These are Words for every person. This is the basis on which a person can form his Choice. When someone chooses the Path to the Flame, appears the opposite inertia, to deny him the Path. To check if he is worthy. The person builds his destiny through Choice. The person creates his own world through Choice. That is why a person can be more divine than the gods, and may totally fail on the basis of what he chooses. Master Amekran: “Amekran said to them: “When a person is at a crossroad he doesn’t need help or handout. Those who stop walking their path do not deserve help. When the beggar picks a direction and walks towards it then everything will fall into place and he won’t be in need anymore. And now each of you must choose a direction. When the choice is made I will continue with the chosen.” Every Apprentice made his choice. Some picked the left path, some picked straight and some – the right path. Amekran went on straight with those who picked the black path. The rest of his Apprentices had to follow their chosen paths and never saw Amekran again.” Book of the Chosen Ones: Sharpness: 10, 11 For Master Amekran, it is not enough just to make the Choice, but you must also realize it. It's not enough just to choose the Path, but you have to make the first steps on it. Decision and action. This is the Choice - to choose and to realize it through your actions. Through your way of life. Every second of every day. Constantly. Continuously. Always. Master Akh Tashib about the Choice: So Akh Tashib said: “Expression of opinion is a transgression of a Sacred Law. Every opinion is a different point of view and therefore is completely wrong. The points of view, the opinions, the critique are born when the Flame casts shadows. Each shadow is a point of view and deceit. If you are one with the Flame, there are no opinions, no shadows, no unnecessary words. You are required to make a Choice. You choose the Flame. The Choice should be deep, unconditional and definitive. Should you accept this agreement, the Path that you had no notion of will come up. Should you choose the Flame, even if you make mistakes, they are going to be lessons in Rightness. So you will never be wrong. Those that walk in Rightness are Flawless in their actions, and those that are Flawless are not swayed by the events in the World. They influence the whole Universe. Only the Flawless can travel the Universe and the Dimension-Worlds. Those that had lost the Truth are doomed in exile.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Words: 41 The Choice is what makes you move forward. Whoever runs away from the Choice, remains lost forever. Making the hidden Choice is to move to the Flame within yourself. Whoever chooses the obvious wanders for a lifetime. Whoever chooses what does not appear to be obvious, finds a hidden path.
Master Akh Tashib also gives a Formula (External Formulas, 57): “Ahaar, take/give the weal of choice from/to (name).”
The idea of this Formula is to prevent the unworthy of choosing. This is an extremely severe sanction since this is the gift that distinguishes men from other creatures. Not the reason, but the right to choose. The Black Adept can temporarily restrict this right to some people who are preparing to commit serious crimes and accumulate a lot of karma. Thus the Adept protects the Soul of the perpetrator and the others who may be hurt. For some people who are permeated by evil and conquered by the mind, it is better to be obliterated. This is how we protect the others and the Soul of the obliterated. He is reincarnated and starts clean. The situations in which this Formula is used are strictly regulated. Cannot be applied to everyone. And should not be applied by everyone. This is part of the plan of the Supreme Evil. Master Achaak Chimil: “Then Achaak Chimil went to the people and shared with them the idea. He illuminated it with the Flame, and the people who were in need of deliverance from the many misfortunes gave a warm welcome to God. They started to believe in Him. Then God came to life and became a balancing factor in humankind’s world, but He did not have the right to get involved directly with their lives. Only the one who could find the God hidden deep inside their own soul could learn from God. And God had no choice – he was to reach out for the person at that moment. Neither God nor his sons had a choice. They had a Sacred Mission. The choice was given to man for deception. The choice existed so you can choose the Path of the Flame. God’s purpose was not to get involved with people but to stand as a barrier on the Path of the Flame, wherefrom he had emerged. Whoever wanted to go back to the Homeland first had to pass through the Veil called God.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 2 God, deities, gods... all have their own Mission. Whoever has a Mission has no choice. He chooses once and chooses definitively. Chooses to serve. People can choose every day. So, through their choices, they have to return to their Origin. That's their trial. Each of their choices is movement in their lives. “Faith maybe enough for God, but it won’t help you to go back to the Ancient Homeland. And like this, because of your faith, you will wander without a Home. If you have chosen the path of the faith, you have chosen the most certain path to selfdeception. Where there is a sea of faith, you always have drops of doubt. The doubt is a poison that spoils the water. Your faith does not change the Universe or writes new laws. Your faith is just your decision of what you are choosing to see, and what you consciously choose not to see. Just because you have opened your eyes to see a certain picture, and it has begun its existence for you, it does not mean, that you have created the picture. It has always been there long before you. In The Teachings of the Black Brotherhood, there is no place for faith. This is where faith becomes unnecessary. In the Teachings, there is no place for doubt. There is only Intention. The Intention does not need proof or believe. The Intention knows without a shadow of doubt, the same way nobody can convince someone in love that they are not in love. The faith is the veil through which everyone needs to pass in order to go back to the Homeland.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 46 Faith is a supreme form of ignorance. The faith is to follow. The Third Choice is not to follow but rediscover new worlds. When you choose the invisible, you realize it. You create it. Whoever makes the Third Choice goes with the Creator. This is exactly how
Worlds-Shadows-States of consciousness are created. Through the Third Choice. They were carefully hidden in the Supreme Darkness and patiently wait for someone to choose them as a Choice, to be able and be realized. There is a Formula here, which can be useful: "Ahaar, teach me to see with the eyes of the Eagle" (Book of the Chosen Ones, CHapter "Words", 9th Disciple Formula).
Master Aasim: “In the past, people were given the opportunity to choose. And instead of choosing the Homeland, they chose the civilization. The choice was disastrous.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 35 What is Freedom? Being the Flame. The Center of the Circle. Be equally close to everything and everyone. Whoever is the Flame, has no one to miss. Has nothing to miss. People say, "I miss my relative who died." You are missing him because you are not in the Flame and you have lost contact with him. Alive or dead, who is in the Center of the Flame, can communicate with everyone at any time. His body is dead, but the Soul continues its course. It has been hidden temporarily for the people, but not for the Black Adept. That is why, for the One who has chosen the Flame, there are no losses, no distant and missing ones. They are all equally close and can be reached through the Intention. Finally, we will say the following: man always returns to where his heart is. Whoever loves deception is reborn among deceivers. Whoever loves science is reborn among scholars. Whoever loves the Flame is reborn where the Flame sends him on a Mission, and this is always the most direct Path to the Ancient Homeland. Watch over your Choice. Whatever you choose, you will come back to it again and again...
UR To make the Third Choice, you must first be Chosen. Chosen by the Flame. So, allow yourself to be Chosen. How does it work? Live every day, in a way, so you can be Chosen...
CHAPTER 5: FIFTH PRINCIPLE
THE FIFTH PRINCIPLE AND THE POSITION OF THE ADEPT Fifth Principle: "Take a position before every single moment."
The Fifth Principle is composed of six words, and this is not accidental: "Take position before every single moment." First of all, we have to interpret each word individually. "Take" shows that we need to be prepared for what IS. For the trials. For the reverse inertia. "Take" is the awakening of the Intention and the transition from Peace to Movement before there is a Movement. “One. Start to walk, so that the Path will show up.” Book of the Yellow Spider – School of the Black Brotherhood: 74 To live with the Flame, you must first penetrate into Infinity. In order to penetrate Infinity, you must first get to know Eternity. To know Eternity, you have to master Time. To master Time, you have to "start". "Take" means: "Spin the Wheel". Turn the Circle. Let the Serpent bites its tail. Let's spin the Circle of the Pre-Elements. "Position" is an illusion, since the Flame does not take a firm position, it is constantly changing. It is the constant change that is its Position. Here is a reference to "take", as the movement is always circular. The "Position" is when we go outside this track and observe from the side. “I created time for men. For the Adepts I created Eternity. For you, there is only one dimension – the Supreme Darkness that is beyond. Time is divided in past, present, and future and moves like a ray of light that never goes back to its source. Eternity is like a hurricane that spins around its center and after every spin returns to its prime position although it is never the same as before. Thus Eternity corrects the linear time. The hurricane crosses the line of time multiple times. If you stop moving along the line and became a hurricane time will work for you.” Book of the Legacy - Time: 14 The Position is when you are beyond. The Flame is when you take the Center and so all the points on the periphery of the circle are equally close to you. The Position is the Pre-Element Darkness: “Darkness: The warrior stands still before his enemy. From this position everything is possible. Intention: An urge appears, an impulse to attack the enemy. The decision is made. There is no motion yet, only Impulse. Flame: The body of the warrior flashes forward from peace. Chaos: The warrior’s body impacts that of his enemy and contacts a hit. That is a hurricane, a storm, recreation. Water: As the storm passes, the enemy is recreated and lies horizontally on the ground like the sea, and his blood flows like water. All forms return to Water.” Book of the Absolute Darkness - Elements: 11 “The Darkness covers and fills all space. It is emptiness and fullness at the same time. It creates the illusion of presence and absence. Darkness is when the warrior takes a stance and watches his opponent. Darkness is when the warrior reaches forward and leaves no place for retreat. Darkness is absolute stillness before the attack. Darkness breaks the spirit of the enemy before the attack commences. Darkness flows from emptiness to fullness and back just like a spring that never stops. Darkness is where every battle is decided before it has begun. It always flows like a stream and never stops...” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 7
"Before" speaks of the invisible. When? Before. Before what? Before the invisible. "Before" implies that we are talking about a moment beyond time. What is always before is Infinity. It cannot be measured. What is it that is above all? The Intention. First of all, it is Intention - sometimes hidden, sometimes taking external forms such as fortitude or will. “The Intention is the desire turning into action, and the still body moves. The Intention means unpredictability of action. The Intention is the passing between stance and attack.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 8 “We both had a talk – Yellow Spider and Black Eagle. And said to me Yellow Spider: “Before you start spinning a Net, spin the tightening handle first and never lose hold of it.” Book of the Yellow Spider – Yellow Spider and Black Eagle: 3 In this excerpt, the Yellow Spider teaches that we must never lose our Ancient Origins. Knitting takes place through the Intention, and the handle we must never drop is Darkness itself, our Ancient. In other words, never lose the connection between the Pre-Elements when you go from one to another. “Black Eagle: “I am with you always, but I come out only when called upon. I am Supreme Darkness and time cannot exist within me. I am before Eternity. And you are to become Lords of Time.” Book of the Veiled Elder - Initiation: 5 The Intention always leads secretly to the Flame, but in order to reach it, you must consciously seek it. Otherwise, Intention can be an infinite impulse that does not reach but only leads forward. The flame lies at every next step. You have to choose it in your heart and then it just happens at the moment. To avoid losing it, you just do not have to leave the moment. This can only be done through Flawlessness. “As you turn the Sharpness into Intention, you will get ahead of every moment. As you catch the Impulse and it leads you back to the Intention you have found the Path back to the Absolute Darkness. The Intention is the moment just before the motion. The Intention is pre-action just as the Absolute Darkness is starting stillness.” Book of the Absolute Darkness - Intention: 3, 4 The key to mastering Intention is Sharpness. Only what has no excess, can make you one with Intention. In other words, temptations must be contained. This corresponds to the Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." "Every" means "no exceptions". "Every" is persistence, the Path of Rightness. The Service to the Flame can not only be in separate times, or in some moments but not in others. This Service is at every moment. You have to turn into "every" moment. In a second of distraction - you can lose everything.
“The Flame is instant. It is the point of breaking and change. You can’t keep on the top of the mountain for too long. To master the Flame is to seize the moment. The exact moment. It exists neither before, nor after the Flame. It is only now.” Book of the Absolute Darkness - Flame: 5 Flawlessness is deeply hidden in the present moment. What prevents the achievement of Flawlessness and the merge with the Flame is the mind that constantly digs either in the past or into the future, but never in the present. Often we have no plan of what to do at the moment and our mind wanders. We recapture old memories and review them: "If I had said it this or that way if I had not done it this way, but I had done it otherwise. Maybe it would have happened in another way." So the mind is eating and getting stronger, and the Intention weakens more and more. Or, we are proceeding with the future in the same way: what will happen tomorrow when we meet with someone? What will we say, what will happen... Instead, if we have all the tasks planned for our day and wonder what to do, it is always better to indulge in ritual practices, perfecting Magic skills, meditating, or we can do physical exercises to strengthen our body and health instead of infecting the defects of the mind. Much of the secret science of Flawlessness is based on the exclusion of the mind. “Magic lives truly only in the moment. Before and after it only exists without living. Men are rarely in the moment. They constantly remember the past or dream for the future. This is unreal. There is only now. So act on the moment and not in Time. You cannot run away from now forever.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 61 The Flame is the key to the Magic Art. The Zero Key. Translated in an occult way, the above message from Master Alkinor would sound like this: "To master the Magic, you must first put your mind under control." “So Amekran said: “The old man dies, the father dies, and so does the son. So does the river of time flow. If the son dies before the father – the river dries. The unguided strength and hatred breed spiritual orphans and plant the seed of evil in the world. They create the men who attacked this village. This was the fate of these children who sought to avenge by walking the path of violence and destruction instead of rebuilding the houses and breathe new life into their people. The one who is filled with hatred and his mind clouded with revenge should not yield weapon. If someone allows this, he brings a wolf among the sheep. The fire can only be extinguished while it is small and had not spread. The problems must be solved before they appear. The enemy must be stopped before he had risen up against you. The opposing army must be defeated not on a battlefield but in its sleep. To eradicate evil before it has manifested this is the Sharpness of the Supreme Evil.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sharpness: 7 In this case, "before" indicates the direction of the River of Time. Here is a hint of something hidden, something that is shown in different Eras of the Book. Namely: The Adept’s Path is opposite to that of the River of Time. Time flows like this: "The old man dies, the father dies, the son dies." However, the Black Adept does not flow with this river. He separates himself from his family in a gradual and natural way so that he can fully serve the Flame and the Brotherhood. He does not create a son, but a sacrament. A mystery that the chosen seek day and night. The Adept does not flow with
the River of Time, but goes in the opposite direction - to the Ancient Homeland, before time. That is why the direction that the Intention chooses is important. The Intention that shows the Path. In this connection let us pay attention to the Key that shows the Path: The Morning Star: “Twentieth Key: Morning Star Alvanir closed his eyes. Now? Now. It was before the now but after the past. Shine? No. It was just before the shine. Motion? No. It was just before the motion. Visible? No. It was just before it was seen. The moment before every moment. The expectation. Breathing? No. Just before I breathed in. I am not here, but I am. I am not yet, but you expect me. I am the one that is before every moment. I am the one that shows the way. Follow me, and you will become real. Alvanir was the Morning star and the Morning star was Alvanir.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Keys: 51 It is important to make the difference between a "moment" and an "instant". The instant is before the moment. The moment is part of the present. The instant is something that is just before the moment. Just as the Dawn is before the Sunrise. The Sunrise can be measured, it can be predicted exactly when it will appear. The Dawn is elusive. It has no time. It is both relative and specific. This is the instant to be mastered. It is this hidden instant that is the Morning Star, which shows us the "direction" in which the Adepts walk. The Path of the Chosen Ones. “The Darkness is the dark energy. The Water is the dark matter. The Intention is the Impulse that sets everything in motion and transcends from rest to excitement. The Chaos is the element that devours all and leaves emptiness. The Flame is the one just before the Instant, the Crossroad of the entire Universe.” Book of the Absolute Darkness - Genesis: 2 If the Intention is the Path, the Flame appears as the Crossroads. The Flame gives you the choice of direction. A Destination. The Flame is also the key to working with Shadow-worlds-states (Book of the Legacy: Shadows). When we are in the Flame, we are both on our Path, and we are not. The movement stops. We're at the Crossroads. These hints at one of the Elders' messages: The road must disappear into the depths of the desert. "Separate" refers to Pre-Element Chaos. This is the trial. The Storm that separates the mind from the Intention. "Separate" are the drops in the rain. Each one individually, by itself. In an "instant" the drops will be merged into one Water. What is separated from the whole seeks to return to it again and again: “...Once separated from your roots you always long to return. But the Absolute Darkness was hidden, veiled. Also veiled was Razaor. The Black Eagle sent namely him in the Worlds-shadows, namely, he had to bring the Mission to the people. The Mission to discover the Way back to the Absolute Darkness.” Book of the Veiled Elder - Mission: 1 Here's how Pre-Element Chaos refers to the time:
“The Chaos is a sudden change. As there is no time, things do not happen gradually. Everything happens simultaneously in Chaos. The Whisper arranges. The Whisper gives shape. The Whisper is the Occult Tongue of the Ancient Black Brotherhood.” Book of the Absolute Darkness - Chaos: 7 The word "separate" refers to the Pre-Element Chaos. When this Element is contained, the Adept goes beyond time. Whenever Chaos is achieved, everything happens at the same moment - past, present, and future. Everything is a potential opportunity that can be realized (transition to "instant" or otherwise said from the Pre-Element Chaos to Water). "Separate" is also the event that separates the Eras from one another. "Moment" means that Time has been defeated. The moment is always beyond time. Time is a continuance. The moment is the accuracy. Sharpness. "Moment" is the PreElement Water - The mission is already realized. Raindrops are now united in Water. The Principle is implemented. All five words before "moment" are to bring this result precisely. The wheel is rotated and has made a full circle. The "moment" has many meanings. Here are some parts in the Book where the meaning of "moment" is affected: “Twelfth Key: Spring Alvanir closed his eyes. Out, out. I cannot hold it in. Uncontrollable. It longs to burst out, and no form can hold it in. Out, out. It never stops. It never slows down. It never speeds up. Forever young. Never aging. Every moment is a beginning. It begins in every moment. Ever beginning. Out, out in endless motion and so until it returns. It flows from itself. Self-sufficient but sought after by all. It longs for no one except itself but is longed by all. It cannot hide. It has to appear. Absolutely pure. Never letting in anything from the outside. Alvanir was the spring, and the spring was Alvanir.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Keys: 43 "Moment" is the formed Pre-Element Water. This is the Adept, who applies the Teaching. The Adept on the Path of the Mission remains forever young, never stops along the Path. He has no time to grow old because he is constantly serving and beyond Time. That is why he cannot be aged. He has Flawlessness, and therefore he neither hurries nor slows down. The Adept does not need the other people, but they need him. In this case, the "Spring" appears as a synonym for the Adept, who bestows the spring water (the Sacred Knowledge) and brings it to the sea (Humanity). “Atafari told them: “The Disciple’s Path requires full Attention and Awakeness. Awakeness is day and night without a break even for a second. If you stop even for a single moment, the discipleship has been lost, and the sands consume you.” Atafari buried in the sands, those who had lost their Attention, without the right of tasting water ever again. Few pass that Trial, and they understood – the secret was not the water, but the constant walking.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Death: 5 Here the image of the "Adept" is completed. He must serve the Flame day and night, and if he stops for a moment, the darkness slips into his life and he loses the Path. This corresponds to the Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." The day and night are the life of the Adept. The night is when he studies the Secret Knowledge and serves the Darkness. The day is when he walks among the people and delivers them Knowledge and awakens the Flame in them. "Day and Night"
are a completed cycle. There is a balance between the two, and if the Adept admits disbelief, inconsistency, lack of Flawlessness, the Darkness will enter his life and break his natural rhythm. That is why it is said that Flawlessness is achieved through a mixture of Awareness and Awakeness. This is the secret to achieving Flawlessness Completeness. The Fullness is when the day and night fill you completely - when the Adept does not study the Skill, he delivers Knowledge, and when he does not deliver Knowledge, he does not waste time but submerges again to seek deeper and deeper for the secret and the hidden. The Adept does not seek poor achievements like "happiness". He strives for Completeness. Only Completeness can give you the feeling that you are flawless and you do not miss anything else. It is not accidental to say: “...Be Sun. Think like the Sun and everything will be in the Rightness. Be precise like the Sun because it is always where it needs to be and when it needs to be. The Sun is the exact moment. Be like the Sun and all worlds will welcome you.” Book of the New Aeon: 6 The Adept is the Sun – during the day he is shining on the World, and at night he studies the hidden so the sun can appear again. Another place in the Book hints at the relationship between man and the Book: “You, my friend, are a big Book, which is written and read every moment. Every single life of yours is a chapter of the Book. Pages and size don’t matter – what does matter are the Handwriting and the Tongue. Whenever you finish your Book, it will return to your Homeland, to be read by the Ancient. There’s no life without the Book.” Book for the Book: 2 This is to show that a person is a book that is constantly written - there is no rest. Writing, these are the trials. Occult translation: "Be ready for trials at every moment." Only constant preparation gives Flawlessness. There is no time for relaxation and rest. Completing the book means returning to the Homeland and setting up a new Mission. “You don’t know how to wait, because you live with your mind, and time liked you and took you over. I will eternally wait for you to return to the Flame because in the Flame Eternity is a flash. And how will you return when you don’t see the Path, which is yourself?” Book of the Ancient Serpent – The Path: 25 The Fifth Principle shows the methods for transforming time. In this regard, it corresponds to the Sixth Principle: „From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey." The message is to turn time into timelessness, timelessness into Eternity, and Eternity into Infinity. A big part of the Magic Art of the Black Adepts consists in controlling the mind and the time. To do this, time should not be eliminated, but transformed. "Work with what you have." “The new time had already begun. The owl Shaora was long since lost in the dark woods. Many thought she no longer followed the Path of the Eagle. The Black Eagle told them: “The true Black Adept remains forever hidden. Everyone has their own Mission. Everyone serves the Truth in different ways. Some of you have been chosen to be manifested and others – to be hidden. Shaora was always with us and will ever be. Both the forest and the night are in the shadow of my wings.” And so said the Black Eagle to Shaora: “The Flame is every day and every moment. Never skip a day. Never
miss a moment. The Black Brotherhood is ever veiled in Darkness. Close your eyes wherever you are and be one with us every day and every moment.” Book of the Black Eagle – Ahaar’s Disciples: 12 Every Black Adept follows the Mission of the Black Brotherhood but has his own individual mission, individual purpose. The Adept does not act openly and prominently, but in a hidden way and only when and where he is needed. And here is the connection with "instant". The Adept must be awake in every moment because he is part of the Brotherhood. It is said: "If a Black Brother/Sister falls into trouble, the whole Black Brotherhood is coming to help." That is why the Adept is always awake so he can come to help when necessary. To carry out his service. Finally, as a summary of the Fifth Principle and its composite words, we can say the following: Each word refers to one of the Pre-Elements. Take (The Circle of the Snake), Position (Darkness), before (Intention), each (Flame), separate (Chaos) and moment (Water). *** After this interpretation of every word in the Fifth Principle, we will proceed to the extraction of several hidden manifestations. The very Five Principle itself represents the Circle of Life. “In the fifth degree – the Healer, the Adept is taught to recreate the Shadows, Worlds, and Systems. To flow like a river and always to reach the Source. To know the Circle.” Book of the Yellow Spider – School of the Black Brotherhood: 1 The Fifth Principle is closely related to Fifth Degree, namely the Healer. The Healer has to revive the energy in the people and turn the circle of life. That is why it is said: “The Healer does not banish the illness but awakens the Flame.” Book of the Yellow Spider – School of the Black Brotherhood: 56 In this case Adept and Healer are equivalent. In general, the Fifth Principle relates very much to the Adept's personality, mission, and life. Even the first two words in their own terms without the rest: "Take a position" imply service. Start working, start serving the Flame. Take a position - realize your purpose. Realize your Ancient Origins. Let us not forget that even though the Seven Principles appear implicitly or explicitly in different parts of the Book, they are given by Master Aasim in the chapter "People" after the dialogue between the people and the Master. These Principles are his legacy, his inheritance. With them, he incites the person to awaken the Flame within himself. With the Fifth Principle, he says: Begin to be. Start your mission. Leave the human life and accept your role and responsibility as an Adept. Take a position against the trials, which separate you from the Flame. By taking a position, there is also another meaning. To take a position "facing the Flame", or otherwise, this calls for the Flame to be placed above all other things in life. Your position to the Flame. In the Fifth Principle is underlined the need to return to the beginning. "Do not forget where you left." There are also other messages. The Fifth Principle is just before the Sixth. In the Sixth Principle, there is no return to the beginning, but there are a re-
creation and transformation. Occult translation: "If you want to re-create the world in which you live (your own life), you must first return to your roots. Before you become an Adept and transform Reality (Sixth Principle), you must go back and analyze every moment of your life. This is one of the meanings of "take a position before every single moment." To go back and analyze and realize where your mistakes were. Where were the deviations from Rightness. Once passed through the steps we have taken, turning the Circle of Life, we know what we have to overcome. Then help comes from the Sixth Principle, which teaches us how to transform (the mud into bricks, the weeds into a fire, from the flowers we extract honey.) This is again a relationship between the Fifth and the Sixth Principles. Apart from the Second, Sixth, and Seventh Principles, the Fifth Principle also makes a hidden connection with the other Principles (First, Third, and Fourth). The Fifth Principle (Take a position before every single moment) corresponds to the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Words.) The key and the door are clearly visible here. Let's make a little shuffle: "Take a position before the Word" and "Be Flawless in every single moment". Even in the Bible, it is said that in the beginning was the Word. And what was before the Word? The Flame. The Zero. The beginning is God. The unit. It is the Flame that is before every beginning. The Absolute. The Void. Zero. If you are in the Word, then you are late. You have heard the Word, but you have not heard the Whisper that is before the Word. You have heard the words that have been told to you, but you have not perceived their deep meaning. That is why the Adept seeks the hidden (the Flame), not the Word (the manifested). On a higher level, this can be interpreted as simply "first be sure of what you want to sow in the Soul of the person in front of you, direct your Intention, and then speak with words." This is also a Method to Flawlessness. Exercise: When someone talks to us, let's abstract ourselves from the literal meaning of the words and feel their atmosphere. Not what the mind tells us with words, but what the Soul cannot say. This is an example in which someone, verbally insults another person, and the insulted accepts things personally, without seeing that the really gross words come from the human mind only, while his Soul asks for attention. Asks for help. Let's try to hear what the Soul says, not the mind, and help with words and actions. The other part is to be Flawless in every single moment. "Be". Become the one who you were predicted to be. The question is who are you? “You know so many things, but you don’t know who you are. And then who are you, who know so many things?” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 51 Realize your origins. Your purpose. You can be Flawless only if you are the one who you ARE. If you are trying to be someone else who you are not, you cannot have a Mission. Without a Mission, you cannot be Flawless. Formula: "Ahaar, give me the key to the hidden Path of the Black Brotherhood." Formula: "Ahaar, reveal the essence of my mission." To be "flawless every single moment" emphasizes the persistence of the Occult Student. The student's occult day is twenty-four hours, not a second less. If you relax even for a second, it may be your end. This is the day of the Occult Disciple: “When I walk – I walk in the Flame. When I stop – I am in the Flame again. I hear the Flame everywhere. When I look, I always see the Flame. I am the One who shares the Flame and therefore think of me as Flame.” Book of the Veiled Elder - Mission: 13
The Occult Disciple has nothing personal. He is constantly with everything and with all people at the same time. The Occult Disciple realizes that each action has consequences not only in our world but in even the most remote corners of the Universe. When the Occult Disciple takes on his own path, he realizes that he is no longer like most people living in error. The Occult Disciple is responsible for each of his actions. Here is "every single moment". An instant of inattention and the whole world may be wiped out. What is the World? Shadow-state. State of the consciousness and the Soul. “A World where the Sun shines during only part of the day isn’t Real. Every World has its own Sun, though not everyone is Real. There is one true World – the Proto-Ancient Black Homeland – and all the rest are its resemblances.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – The Homeland: 9 “Every day, all day, without rest. Always in, through, and only with the Flame .” This is the motto of the Black Adept. If you admit even a flawless moment, it can be like a drop of tar in the clean glass of water. How can we be Flawless at all times? We need to fill our daily lives. Do not waste a single moment... In addition to our routine occult activities, we must apply the accumulated knowledge at any given moment. Among friends, among relatives, at work. Even at work, when we are not so busy we can close our eyes for a minute and say a proper Formula. Later again. We should not give the mind the opportunity to activate even for a moment. When you have a job - work. But when you are not so busy, instead of giving yourself up to the games of the mind, to fantasies about what you will do at the end of the week, or tomorrow if you are free, instead of reviewing conversations again and again where you heard something you did not like, you are again wandering and fantasizing of what you would say if things were otherwise or what you would say the next time. Better close your eyes for a few minutes and perform some Ritual or Method. Some Formulas. As for your relationship with people, make sure you do not have a single void word in your conversations with them. Speak moderately, honestly, and essentially. Do not exaggerate, do not distort. This is about the quality of your words, but do not forget that the most important thing is the Intention in them. "Take a position before the Word". This is practically speaking that every time you talk to someone, your words should be directed to his help. Not what you want to say. It does not matter what you want to say. It is important what the Master wants to say through you. It is important what the person`s Soul needs. So much for the relationship between the First and the Fifth Principles. A few words about the relationship between the Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary" and the Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." If we combine them, there are three separate Occult Rules: "Leave the Unnecessary" and "Leave the position" and "Everything before each moment". How do you leave the unnecessary? The lesson here is not to strive for what strive all others. Do not aim for the obvious, but for the hidden. Everybody wants the obvious things: money, property, sense of security. These are not real things. Real is what you have when the Hurricane hits you. When a hurricane, a tsunami, an earthquake, or a volcano erupts, you cannot spend your money, your house is destroyed, and for a sense of security, we cannot talk at all. No one can guarantee you security at this point. There are no authorities, no administration. What do you have in the end? Nothing. There are many ways you can be taught that you have nothing - some of
them would be unpleasant for you, and others would be dramatically unpleasant. It is important what you strive for. Few strive for the Truth. For the Flame. Only that is real. It is always hidden - you cannot boast of it with your friends, you cannot deflect, but unlike money and property, it is always with you. "At any given moment," it is with you. What's unnecessary? Everything which remains after the hurricane, which remains after the test, after the trial, after the hurricane. “We were walking with my Teacher through an Ancient Desert, but there was no one to see two veiled strangers. We reached a dune, and the Desert was bathed in red. My Teacher took a sieve out of his dressing-gown and started to scoop up with it. Golden pieces remained in the sieve and He collected the sieved sand into a box. He said: “Don’t work with the obvious which remains, but with what passes the sieving. And you, what have you chosen – the gold or the sand?” I replied: “For me, Teacher, I chose the sieve.” Book of the Black Eagle – My Teacher: 6 And here we see the same analogy: gold and sand are the obvious things to work with. Not everyone can see the "sieve" as an opportunity. The hidden cannot be taken away. "Leave the position" completes "Loan the unnecessary." What is the position we have to leave? Let's leave the earthly. Not to be influenced by people's opinion, by the passion for material gains. Let us be focused on the spiritual. Nowadays, people do almost everything in their lives just to get more money, to "have" more. To accumulate material goods. Money is never enough and we still want to have more and more and our greed ignites continuously. This way we can never enjoy even the material things we have, not to mention the hidden things we have. We cannot because we still want something that we do not have, and we do not even know why we want it. It's just the obsession with possession that gives people without a clear purpose in life a sense of "realizability," and they are comforted by not working in vain, and that they are achieving something by buying toys and trumpery. Exercise: Let's choose from our clothes that we like the most and give them to someone. And then are we less valuable as people? Are we poorer? Exercise: Let's try how long we can go without buying anything unnecessary. Let's go on just what we need the most as food and nothing else. If there is a temptation to buy something unnecessary like a garment or a "trinket", let's do it for someone else, but not for us. Leaving the position has also other meanings. Do not take root, but be in constant motion. Here's what Teacher Adaat Chichik says about the motion: “War is ever changing – it always on the move and never stays still. It never stops. Therefore you must be unreadable and unseen like the impassable jungle. Be unpredictable like the sea and surround your enemy like the sea floods the land and don’t let him back away. Be relentless like the hurricane and destroy everything in your way. After everything is ruined rebuild it once more in the correct form. Remember: peace is the rest of Ancient Creation. But the built Universe is in constant movement and always changes. This is war precisely – the constant motion and transformation. Motion means to stay alive. If you lose your Motion and stay in place, the storm will swipe your whole life.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 46, 47
What is "war"? This is the awakening of the Flame in the Souls of Men. This is the war of the mind that has to be defeated. When the mind reigns, it moves in one place, rotating in empty speed. Therefore, we must take "war" against it in the name of the Truth and awaken the Flame. How does this work? By clearly showing people what they can and cannot do without. What they really need and what gives them fullness. In this case, "leave the position" creates a new occult rule: "Do not form an opinion." The opinion limits you and does not allow you to see things as they are. The opinion is a consequence of your personal attitude towards things. (See the Seventh Principle). It makes you static and limited. The world is constantly changing. (See the Sixth Principle). What is here today, is gone tomorrow. Objects are in constant motion. When you make your mind, you only see their momentary position, without being able to capture the changes in their trajectory. So have an observation and watch things change. The observation of the invisible and the hidden develops the Eye of the Eagle or, in other words, the Awareness. After studying the mind of a person and his past, you must anticipate how he will respond and change in certain situations. Assess the minimal and maximum possibilities of the mind. When you make an opinion, you choose to believe in a false image for others and the surrounding world. The world is a great forest. The Adept is the Hunter. The animals are in constant motion. To capture them you have to observe them and know their habits. Habits are one of the greatest enemies of man. They make people easily predictable. So get rid of your habits. If you get rid of them you will be elusive. In order to capture the human mind, use his habits and bias. You can get them to create habits appropriate to your strategy and goals. Your habits are given to you so you have what to work on in your spiritual development. Be unpredictable. For this purpose, constantly modify your movements and trajectory. Never repeat the same move twice. The Black Adept knows perfectly the principles and rules of the Strategy. You will become a Black Master only when you study the exceptions in the Rules. When you make an opinion, you take a position. Opinion means that you agree with one thing and not with others. Then comes the reverse momentum, the resistance taking the role of an adversary which in turn has a view opposite from yours. The opinion is as if you were in a dark forest without a torch. Staying alone in the woods, you will become the victim of a predator. If you need to provide a trial for man, offer the appropriate material to him so he can accept it personally. Personal attitude leads to bias and all of that to opinion. Once he has made your opinion, the subject becomes easy to hunt: “Those who found the jungle he stayed in faced a new Trial: They had to cross the jungle and reach its heart. And it was completely dark. Their path was a labyrinth of trees, and every step they took had a dangerous trap or a vicious or venomous beast. Many of the Seekers were lost in the wilderness and fell prey to the beasts. Only those who developed a flawless step could reach the heart of the wild forest where Adaat Chichik lived in solitude.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 3 (The core of the jungle is the Truth, the Flame. The labyrinth of trees is the resistance of the mind. Only those who have a "flawless step" can pass.) The accumulation of many opinions leads to presumptions. If the enemies are more than one, make each of them compose an opinion opposite to the others. This way you distract attention from yourself and you have time to get out of the bustle. The opposing views give rise to the dispute. And the dispute is the beginning of criticism and misunderstanding. People will always come up with their own opinion, but you can choose what material to give them. Do not accept others' opinions in yourself because
they lead to a disease of the mind. Listen to them and understand them, but do not accept them. However, the opinion does not walk alone but has its own twin brother: the doubt. You make an opinion about something, but then the events change and you do not know what to believe - this is doubt. “When your faith is plagued by even the slightest doubt, it is like walking on the edge of the abyss – it is only a matter of time to fall. Failure is imminent if you depend on time alone. You must never waver so that you do not ever wake. Faith can lead to doubt. Knowledge can lead to ignorance. The straight road can curve. You should never believe the Flame. You alone must become the Flame. After that faith becomes Mystery, knowledge becomes Inmost Wisdom, and the Path disappears into the Abyss. Explaining the mastery of the Art of Magic to someone that is not one with the Flame is as useless as explaining the dolphin what the desert is like.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 90 So do not jump to conclusions. Just observe things as they are. The opinion and the doubt are the greatest enemies of Awareness and Awakeness. The opinion creates a false sense of knowledge, which is not real. Exercises: 1. For every single thing, find the common and obvious opinion, which are seen with the naked eye. Then try to look beyond the obvious and find something that is not visible to the naked eye, but is hidden for most people. 2. Make a list of people you know and what opinions you have had about them. Then try to get into their essence, to study their worldview and motives, mostly on the actions that made you form an opinion about them. Follow the changes in them, to make sure your opinion was hindered and it would be much better to have only observations. 3. Feel what opinion some people have made about you through observations. Your task is with words and actions to show them that they were mistaken. Show them that you can be something very different. Then use this starting point to share with them more about the Principles of Teaching. "Leave the position" means leaving the comfort and coziness of "home" and heading for the "jungle" in search of "force." “The Hunter never sleeps. He is on a constant move, registering every movement and every sound, without paying specific attention to them.” Book of the Spider – School of the Black Brotherhood: 22 The Third Rule derived from the interaction of the Second and Fifth principle is "Everything before every moment." What is everything that is before every moment? It's Darkness. Darkness is before every moment. Through the instant, Darkness is realized in the Flame and returns to its usual state. Let's understand it well. The Instant is not a moment. You can capture the moment. But you cannot catch the Instant. You can only be ahead of it. Or after it... But it is so short, so small that you cannot be with it. The instant is part of the invisible. It is a sense of motion without having any motion. In other words, do not let every instant tear you up. Be everything before every single instant. Wait for the instant. Be before it, not after it. Do not hurry. Following this line, we can derive the next Occult Rule: "Have patience." Here's what we can say about patience:
“To light a Fire in the Forest, you’ll need two sticks, a spark and a lot of patience.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 60 “Remember the most important. The creating and modulating of a Shadow is part of the knitting of the Web of the Spider, and the Web you don’t knit in just one day. This is a process for which are needed patience and consistency. If you let doubt into your knitting, your creations will be invalid, and the forms will be ultimately imperfect and ineffective.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Visions: 17 Patience is one of the strongest weapons of the Black Adept. Most things in the World are transient, and the Adept lives in the invariability of the Flame. With patience, he outgrows the transitional earthly things and sees everything at a glance. This allows him to have a clear idea of things. Thanks to patience and the ability to wait, he protects himself from ignorance and does not violate the Seven Principles. Thus he develops immunity against illusions and illnesses of the World. When you can wait, you have the chance to understand the unknown. Patience is a Path to Flawlessness. If you feel stuck and the path ahead of you is in a fog, wait patiently for the morning and set off down the path when the mist rises. “Everything there is or patiently waits to be summoned exists in Darkness. There is nothing there. It appears as you cast your Intention. Everything is already there and awaits your Intention.” Book of the Absolute Darkness: Darkness: 2 “Long before Sun rises for the first time, Darkness ruled over the worlds. The Darkness is not the lack of Light itself. Light is motion, Darkness – peace, originality. However fast Light can be Darkness is already there and waits patiently.” Book of the Absolute Darkness: Elements: 6 The Pre-Element of Darkness and its deep understanding create in the Black Adept unique qualities, which for people are neither right nor necessary to know. One of them is to be patient, to wait until this wait has come out of time. Patience is also a basic technique in the Art of Strategy. Strategies are made up of multiple moves and you must patiently go through each of them. The smart strategist is not the one who is planning a well-defined strategy, but the one who manages to do it, and still is not interpreted. “To become a good Strategist it’s not enough your strategies to win, but after and during their implementation no one should be able to unriddle them. The Strategist is not a subject to analysis.” Book of the Yellow Spider – School of the Black Brotherhood: 52 When you rush, you disturb your balance and the natural course of things. As you rush, this inevitably means you will make mistakes and you lack a strategy. Then you are after the instant, not before it. Each individual has his own natural speed. When he changes his speed, he loses some of his skills, the performance quality. So when you want someone to make a mistake, make him change his natural speed, his natural way of life. For this purpose use the Principles. If you cannot change the natural speed of the subject, look at his movements. Each moving object has its own rhythm. Enter into
his rhythm and break him with an attack. The attack must be strategically necessary. (See the Chapter "Sharpness" in the Book of the Chosen Ones.) Here are three main options: 1. Making someone rush, depriving him of patience, or forcing him to go for the pursuit of unrealistic purposes, to force him to seek for hidden or lost things. Making him take things personally and placing him in a situation where he has to act suddenly so he can rush. 2. Forcing someone to lag, by making him think. In this way, he will wheel slip in one place. You can force him to lag, and by failing his plans for the future, you take his hope and make him console himself with the past. By breaking his contact with his allies. Stopping his resources. Delay him by putting many different options on his path and he will wonder where to go. 3. Do not change the movements of the subject, but instead get into his rhythm and break it. This can happen when you get him to make a wrong opinion, in which to stumble; to make him think that there is something of value to which he is attached, and you in your turn to take it away; to surprise him by offering him what he least expects; to attack him with the Truth, which he is not ready to hear; to hit him with an old wound; to break his will; to make him think of his ideals and his faith; anger him and lead him in a direction you choose. For each of the three options, observe in advance. Read the Soul of the person. Mostly observe his movements and natural "speed" in his life aspect. Here follow a few short words about "speed", which is one of the "three dimensions of war." “Fifth came the Snake. And the Snake said: “War knows three basic dimensions: Swiftness, Tension, and Rightness. All other forms of attack, defense and maneuver derive from the first three dimensions. Swiftness gives you the ability to move around. The enemy’s numbers are a vital factor, but it can be compensated if you are faster than him. If you make two moves of each one of the opponents you can face a stronger opponent. If you make three moves of each one of his, you will be victorious swiftly. Swiftness comes from the readiness with which you make decisions. Each decision gives you a different form. Only those that got rid of the drawbacks of the corners could become any form with no time in between transformations. I, the Snake, do not suffer from those drawbacks so I can become any form instantly. I make my decisions before the enemy and force him to change his form in order to adapt to my attacks. If the time between the decision and the action is too much, you cannot achieve Swiftness. If you have a body of many parts, your Swiftness is lacking. The eyes have to see and rely on the head, and it should make the decision and order the legs to run. So there can never be Swiftness. I, the Snake, am an unbreakable whole and flow from sense to action without the need of a general command. From this comes my legendary Swiftness and deadly skills. But know that there are many different kinds of Swiftness. One is the Swiftness from stance to action, and another is the linear Swiftness when chasing a longer goal, another is the swiftness when the direction is constantly changing. Every type of Swiftness is distinctive and unequal to the others. The point of Swiftness is not the only movement from one point to another. The aim is to be unreachable. However fast you are, if you are traceable, with predictive trajectory, you will face an obstacle sooner or later. I move like water – in waves. Thus my moves are hardly predictable just like a sea wave. The focused Swiftness and persistence result in a true power. An unreachable fortress is not conquered by brute force. You must find a weak point and
strike it like the drops of water grind a hole in the stone. So much for speed.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 23 Exercises: 1. Fill a glass to the edge with water and start walking around the room as you try to increase your speed without spilling a single drop. The maximum speed at which you do not spill the water is your speed. 2. Take a kilogram (or approximately) of rice (lentils or something similar) and count it. 3. Learn to wait for the comfortable moment as much as needed. Be patient to wait for the seeds you plant to give fruit and tear it at the right time, otherwise, the fruit will not ripen and will not saturate you. If you have the opportunity, grow plants. Plant flowers, trees, fruits... 4. Set your own speed in a life plan. What you plan usually happens too slowly, too fast? At a time? Never on time? Is it successful or not? Did they tell you that you are not proactive enough and just wait with your hands crossed for things to happen on their own? Or have they told you that you are always rushing and not make through of things? Adjust your speed… Interaction between the Third and Fifth Principles. Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." Combined together, these two Principles create two Occult Rules: 1. "Turn every single moment into the Sun." 2. "Take a position before the mind." How can we turn every single moment into the Sun? By understanding what its purpose is. Each moment is meant to reveal a message. Have you ever had the feeling that you are not in the right place at the right time? You feel redundant where you are, deep inside yourself, you do not want to be there? Neither being among the people around you. To turn every moment into the Sun means always to be in the right place at the right time. This happens when you serve the Flame. Then you do not go anywhere - The Flame sends you wherever you have to be. Otherwise, without the Flame, you can go wherever you want and whenever you want, but without the Flame, what are you there for? Without the Flame there is no Path, there are only walks. To become a Sun, you have to reach the Souls of Humans. Find the key to their Souls. To speak in one language. “...Be Sun. Think like the Sun and everything will be in the Rightness. Be precise like the Sun because it is always where it needs to be and when it needs to be. The Sun is the exact moment. Be like the Sun and all worlds will welcome you.” Book of the New Aeon: 6 Formula: "Ahaar, teach me to think and act like a Sun." The Adept is the Sun, whose light reaches the farthest corners of the Universe. “The Black Adepts is like the Sun – desired by all but unreachable; he gives all and reaches everything.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – Black Adepts: 13 How to turn every moment into the Sun: through your thoughts, words, and actions you have to be omnipresent and overwhelming. In other words, do not neglect some Souls at the expense of others and never stop giving them the Sacred Knowledge and share
the Truth. Then you become increasingly desirable by all Souls, and they secretly or obviously aspire to you. But you cannot allow yourself to be revealed. You must remain unattainable. This means helping always secretly and hiddenly, without looking for praise. The Adept is the one who thinks of the good of the Souls of the people, without them even suspecting it. That's why the Black Adept is called "The Secret Ally." The Black Adepts are also called "The Secret", "The Guardians", "The Patrons", "The Allies". "Take position before the mind" is a Rule closely related to the Sun as a principle. Here we are not talking about the mind befalling the Adept and for him to struggle with it by the methods given in these lectures. Here the Adept chooses a completely different strategy - he does not allow the mind to come. He takes a position before the mind. Formula: Ahaar, extract the mind of (name) and lock it/hide it/delete it... “Your mind needs to measure and compare in order to be able to understand and believe. But Love is unconditional, and there are no conditions in it. There’s only one true measure, inaccessible to mind, and it is the Love to Truth. There’s only one true level, which is the being in the Flame. The more you are hated, the more your Love becomes more radiant and deeper rooted. On earth, you might be hated, but in the Homeland, you are loved.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Word: 16 To take a position before the mind means to have pure action and to do just the most necessary. That is why the Adept has no unnecessary actions. How can you be before the mind? Being permanent in Flawlessness. Desire only the Flame and don’t get out of it for a moment. When you are in the moment, there is no time. And when there is no time, no mind can appear. To take a position before the mind is to be constantly together with Awareness. This is the only way you can help people fight the worst enemy of mankind - the mind. Being constantly Awake and Aware. In a more practical way, having learned the mind of a person and knowing in which cases it is activated and how it works - do not let the persons’ mind get activated and confuse him. Take away his time and force him to act. Give him a sense of urgency. He will have to act constantly and will not have time to activate his mind. Interaction between the Fourth and Fifth Principles. Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." Fifth Principle: "Take a position before every single moment." Combined together, these two Principles create two Occult Rules: 1. Work with everyone. 2. Take a position invisible to others. By "work with everyone", it is meant that the Black Adept has taken his duty to the Souls of all people, not just to the preferred ones. Sometimes, if the duty requires, we must first help the stranger and then the blood relative. Among the Souls, there are no close ones, no distant ones, no friends, no enemies, no relatives. They are all equally valuable. All Souls are Brothers and Sisters. For the Adept there are no close and distant ones - there are only Brothers and Sisters and they are all equally loved because he sees in depth, he sees the Flame in each of them. “In his diary, Atafari marks deaths of people, animals, and insects with the same symbol. Everyone is important. Everyone has his role to play. There is no close and distant. Everyone is a dot on the periphery of the circle, and Atafari is the center.”
Book of the Chosen Ones - Death: 27 “It’s too easy to love your closest ones and friends. But only hardships will make you Radiance. Can you love those who do you evil? Can you love the murderers, the thieves, the slanderers? Can you love those who squash, humiliate, deride and tread on you? Those, who hate you and speak evil of you to your closest? Can you give them Love? Will you have enough Love for that? Will you have enough strength? Unless you give Love to the evil, darkness shall fill you in, and you’ll never see the Flame.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 15 “When you are away from your closest ones, don’t say: “I miss them,” because this would mean that you’ve got lack, that you aren’t whole. Lack means shortcoming. It also means that you are in need. The problem is that you’ve got closest. When some are close, others will be distant, and therefore you’ll always have a need.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 28 “For the Initiated in the Teachings of the Black Brotherhood, there is no close and distant – everything is at your fingertips because the Adept is everywhere. The Initiated doesn’t crave anything – the craving is to want something without having the Intention to reach it. The Initiated is directed towards the Flame and this way he receives everything that anyone could ask for. The Initiated doesn’t have fears – he is the one that creates the dangers. The Initiated doesn’t have successes and failures – on the Path to the Flame every step is a harsh lesson, every step is life in Infinity, every step is a triumph in the Ancient Times. For the Initiated there are no important things – there is only one constant, one Reality, and this is the Flame itself – everything else is Shadows, which people see as important or unimportant depending on their position. The Path to the Flame is Path of the Awareness and clean Intention. For those who serve the world, this Path is invisible. Those words are the Spark. The one who can thicken the Intention will be able to kindle a fire.” This is what Aasim said. After he showed mankind’s enemies, Aasim continued with lessons about life itself...” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 9 "Take a position invisible to others" means that the Adepts' actions must always remain secret and undisclosed. The Adept does nothing revealing but seeks effectiveness in his actions. Just as the Sun reaches even the most distant corners of the Galaxy. Do not disclose your intentions to others. Serve their Souls secretly. Deliver your lessons in a hidden way without revealing your position. There are many ways to heal the Souls: sometimes by enlightening them in the Principles, sometimes by putting hard trials in front of them. Through Awareness, we must determine what is best for every Soul. How will the Flame awaken in the Soul? Here's what the Book says about the Black Adepts: “The Black Adept’s motions are like the waves of the sea. Its motions are impulses flowing one into another, but his whole remains intact. The Black Adept is unreadable like the sea, and his actions are unpredictable. The Black Adept cannot be seen through and is unending like the Darkness itself. The Black Adept uproots the weeds and plants the trees that hold the World.
The Black Adept is like water – unfathomable like the ocean and hidden like the subterranean waters.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – Black Adepts: 9 - 12 Once again, the Black Adept is likened to water, just as the Teaching of the Black Brotherhood is compared to the Black Water that floods the world. For a fuller understanding of the Adept's mode of action, pay attention to the PreElement Water (see Book of the Absolute Darkness).
UR Have you ever been in love? You wake up and think about your loved one. You do not see what's happening in the world around you all day, but you think about your beloved. You fall asleep with thoughts of your beloved ... I fell in love as well. I fell in love with the Teaching of the Black Brotherhood and it became my life. I see nothing but it, I hear nothing but it, I think about nothing but it every day. Every hour. Every second. And that's how it happened - I took a position before every moment... Brotherly, Moriel Yamanu School of the Black Brotherhood, October, 2018.
CHAPTER 6: THE SIXTH PRINCIPLE
CHANGE, TRANSFORMATION AND FLAWLESSNESS Sixth Principle: "From the mud make bricks. From the weeds ignitea fire. From the flowers make honey."
Speaking of the Sixth Principle, we first need to understand its component parts and how they are organized. Of all Seven Principles, the Sixth is the most combined and most complex. It is composed of three components. All three components say: "Transform, recreate, and reproduce in One image and likeness." This Principle represents the Creator. The Adept, who creates his own world. The Sixth Principle is directly related to the Fourth Principle (Work with what is invisible to others). The word "work" is encoded in each of the three parts of the Sixth Principle. "Bake," "ignite," and "extract" are equal to "work". The connection between the Sixth and the Fourth Principles in this respect is that the message "work" is invisible; it is not spoken directly, but must be sought. Occult translation: "Work with bricks. Work with fire. Works with honey." The Bricks are the Matter. The Fire is the Spirit or the Intention. The Honey is the Sacred Knowledge. It is the ultimate "product". It is the reward for the Adept, who serves the Mission and the Flame. The Bricks are the steps you make along the Path. They are the Awareness of the Occult Disciple. The Aware one builds a house, builds a Home. The Home of his Awareness. This is the Temple for service to the Flame. “Once in a village uploaded were a thousand bricks. From amidst the crowd, a fighter came out and started to demonstrate his strength by breaking bricks with hands, legs, head, elbows… Throngs had gathered to watch him. Every day he would break bricks, and the people and bricks decreased. Suddenly the fighter felt cold. The summer had gone. The winter had come, it was snowing, and no one was on the outside, and the fighter stood alone and homeless, surrounded by brick houses.” Book of the Black Eagle – Ahaar’s Teachings: 29 Here it is clear that the fighter is not aware. That's why he's just a fighter, not a Warrior. He is not Aware of his Mission and the importance of the service to the Flame and has not "built" his Temple in time. The "winter" has come or the temptations of the World, and he has remained "homeless", or else said, he has been deprived of access to the Knowledge, and is destined to live on the surface of life in ignorance. After the bricks, comes the second "ingredient" - the fire. (From the weeds, ignite a fire). If the bricks are the Awareness, the fire in this example is the Awakeness. When you fall asleep, the fire awakens you by burning you. “You sleep and dream but the Flame will awake you and there comes the time for you to burn in it. In the Flame, there is no dream. Give in order to have. Do not worry that whatever you have will end because the Flame is limitless. Give off the Flame, and you will receive from it.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Keys: 16 The third ingredient is honey – the Flawlessness. Flawlessness is a rare product obtained from a rare combination that requires a special key. Only who has built his Temple through Awareness and has been awakened by the fire to gain Awakeness, can extract honey from the flowers and gain Flawlessness. This is the quality of the Black Adept - working with honey. Man cannot extract honey. Animals cannot extract honey. Only bees can do this. The bees correspond to the Occult Disciple, to the Black Adepts. What do bees do? They never rest, they have no days off. They serve the Flame tirelessly and create honey. This again makes a connection with the Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." The way of making honey is secret, invisible to others. Likewise, the Adept's methods are secret. Flawlessness is not achieved by
reading or doing just an exercise. Full commitment is required. A pure heart. A mastered mind. Only Awareness or only Awakeness is not enough. We must make the choice to serve the Flame and the Black Brotherhood unreservedly. As bees serve on the hive. Then honey will appear. Flawlessness. Summarized here: The Sixth Principle ("From the mud bake bricks, from the weeds ignite a fire, and from the flowers extract honey.") Can be translated in an occult way as: "Work with Awareness. Work with Awakeness. Works with Flawlessness." The Sixth Principle is directly related to the Second Principle (Leave everything that is unnecessary). We can translate in an occult way the Sixth Principle as follows: "Leave the mud. Leave the weeds. Leave the flowers." Leave the unnecessary. If the Second Principle shows us what to leave, and the Fourth tells us what to do, then the Sixth shows us how to proceed from one to the other. From non-doing to doing. From the empty to the full. How to make the transition. However, the Sixth Principle does not say: leave the mud, the weeds, and the flowers and search for a home with a hearth and honey... The transition takes place in stages. We remove the mud... and we get bricks. Then we remove the weeds and get fire. Step by step. Here is encoded the idea of traveling through the Worlds-Shadows: “...Other times Razaor had to reach particular world-shadow from another worldshadow. Then Razaor walked a path. With every step, he removed from his current world that which didn’t belong to the world-shadow he was headed to and he added that which was not present. Thus he passed through the worlds until he reached the destination of his Intention. He used this to reach the worlds he left no Path or clues to. Thus the only way for anyone to reach these worlds was for Razaor to reveal them himself. When Razaor wanted to show anyone the hidden worlds, he took his black stone and gave the chosen a drop of his blood so that they became one. Razaor could share his world with the chosen once they intertwine. After that, they had to only set foot on the Path and add and remove elements until they reached the point of similarity.” Book of the Legacy - Shadows: 17 Understanding the mechanism of the Sixth Principle, the Creator can travel through the Shadows and create his projections. In this case, we can assume that the Purpose of our Intention, the Shadow World, which we want to reach, is Flawlessness if we follow the above examples. To get to Flawlessness of our World-Shadow, we need to determine what the incompatible elements in our lives are. What prevents us from achieving the Goal? Flawlessness. Assuming that Awareness and Awakeness lead to Flawlessness, we are tempted to mark all the obstacles that keep us from achieving Awareness, Awakeness, and Flawlessness. When we find the item that does not match, we do not continue to search for other items automatically, but first, deal with the non-matching item by removing it and replacing it immediately with the appropriate one. Here comes the Occult Rule: Do not postpone. This makes a connection with the Fifth Principle (Take position before every single moment). If the Second Principle teaches us what not to do, the Fourth teaches us what to do, and then the Fifth tells us "when" to do it. Now. Do not postpone. Do not accumulate disadvantages. If you see that you have an element in your behavior that does not match the goal - fix it right now, do not postpone it. If you postpone, negative elements will accumulate, they will unite against you and form a veil. The veil will not let you see clearly and you will lose Awareness.
Example: Someone has told you something negative and you've been affected. You have realized the wrong element instantly. Do not wait for a next meeting with the person to fix your mistake. Evoke the Flame instantly. Make the relevant Formulas and other operations. Try to make a verbal contact with the person and explain your position and hear his position... Look for a common goal between the two of you. This will merge you into the search and replace the mistake made (accepting things personally). If you do not immediately replace this element, it is very likely that once you accept things personally, you will criticize them and it will be much more difficult to correct the situation, after words have been said. This is the idea of the Rule: Do not postpone. Whenever you have to correct your actions, do it instantly. The Sixth Principle hides three principles of action: "Bake", "Ignite" and "Extract". "Bake“ is to build. To create. The mathematical action of addition. The light. The number 3. „Ignite " is the degradation. To obliterate. The mathematical action of subtraction. The darkness. The number 6. „Extract " is the Hidden, Third Choice, which is not obviously available. This is the mathematical sign of equality. To reach the Unknown. The Balance of the Universe. The Circle of the Universe. The End of the Beginning. The Supreme Darkness. The Blinding Light. The number 9. Thus, the Sixth Principle hints at the 3-6-9 system, which we will discuss in more details later. Here we will only say that 3 guides 1, 2 and 4 and 6 guides 5, 7 and 8. 9 brings them together and guides 3 and 6. Organized in this way, the figures build the whole Universe. The Sixth Principle, although given by Master Aasim at the end of the chapter "People" is reviewed by Master Atafari in the chapter "Death ": “Atafari said: “I am the Wind that will change the world. I am the Wind that pierces the hearts of the wrong. I am the Wind that moves the Aware ones. I am the One who creates and modulates the life itself. I am the One who brings death. I am the One who travels between Galaxies.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Death: 24 The Sixth Principle is a matter of life and death. One dies in order for another to live: “The Plan of my Father is when the Spark sets in, the forest to take the fire so that there will remain one Flower. “ Book of the Black Eagle – Father of the Black Brotherhood: 6 It would be more correct to say that one loses its form to accept another. Because nothing really dies, but it is only re-created. The mud turns into bricks. It's still there, but it's already baked and dried out and has a new shape. It is not "dead" but only transformed. Let's see the relationship between the three parts of the Sixth Principle. We have obtained three results: bricks, fire, and honey. The bricks have a solid shape. They are the manifest, the obvious, and the limited. The fire has no shape. It is the unknown, the hidden. You do not know where the fire comes from or where it goes. The honey can be in liquid form, it can also be in a honeycomb (in boxes). Honey is the variable. It is the Sacred Knowledge, which can make the Hidden - manifested and the obvious to seem hidden. Here is another hidden line. If you do not make the mud into bricks and do not build a house, the flower of your life will not be able to grow. To extract honey, there must be a flower first. Another hidden line is that if you do not burn the weeds, they will suffocate the flowers and honey still shall not be extracted. The third hidden line is that if you do not have wax (a wax honeycomb), you will not be able to keep the fire burning
after the weeds have already been burned, and you will not be able to keep backing mud into bricks. “The ideas are the Flowers. The Soul is the fruitful land. The Spirit is the Sun, and the mind is the weed. When you remove the weed, the Flowers will bloom. But beware not to remove the Flower along with the weed and if it can’t be saved, uproot them both, so that you’ll preserve the Flawlessness.” Book of the Yellow Spider – The Garden of the Spider: 4 The three component parts of the Sixth Principle are in constant symbiosis. A defect in any of these components leads to imperfection in others. The Sixth Principle is also in contact with the Third Principle (Turn your mind into the Sun). The sun means purity of consciousness. The result after a transformation. "From the mud bake bricks" can be said: Turn the mud into the "Sun". "From the weeds ignite a fire." can be said: Turn the weeds into the Sun. "From the flowers extract honey" can be said: Turn the flowers into the Sun. We can follow another line - Turn your life into honey (Sun). Honey is the essence of things. The Secret Knowledge. When you continue the flow and pass on Knowledge to others, you become a Sun for them. This way you change your consciousness and theirs. The Sun gives freedom to others as well as to you. That is how the Sixth Principle is realized. In the Sixth Principle, can be seen two lines running in parallel. The first line is the materials: mud, weeds, and flowers. These are the elements before the transformation. Mud is the soil in which the flowers grow. Around them, there are also weeds. Weeds are needed - so only the strongest flowers remain. Weeds provide the selection. They are the trial. The message is: Find first your land, soil (mud), and then among the flowers place weeds. Only the worthy will survive. The second line is the results: bricks-fire-honey. The honeycomb keeps the fire burning. The fire bakes the bricks. The clay (the clay container) serves to keep honey (Knowledge) in it. The clay (baked mud) is consciousness. It shows our limits of perception. The bricks are the matter. The fire is spiritual. The honey is the divine. The Sixth Principle is related to the First Principle (Be Flawless in the Word). Occult translation: "Be Flawless in the transformation". "Be Flawless when you stride over the Abyss". The transition is when you see the other end of the river. Removing the unnecessary element, without having any idea which is the right element to replace the missing one, revives a defect. This leads to a lack of Flawlessness in the implementation of the Sixth Principle. That is why the First Principle implies the key to the proper implementation of the Sixth Principle. The Flawless Word is this Word that can reach the goal. If you talk, but there is no one to hear you, it is a vain act. The rule is: talk when there is someone to hear you. Plant a flower when there is good soil. Get rid of the weeds when you have a clear purpose for what you will use fire. Extract honey from the flowers, only when you have where to store the honey. Raise your hind leg from the ground only when the front has stepped on the next step. Here also comes the difference with the Second Principle, in which we finally abandon all the things that interfere with the Path. In the Sixth Principle, we substitute one with another. But first we choose the new thing and from there we look for what we can transform to get the desired result. “You can take everything you want, as long as you return it in order with no one finding out. On the same principle, you can exchange one with another. No one must
understand for these Operations. Should you master the principle of exchange, there’ll be no limitations for you.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 78 Here it is made clear, that we are not talking about "leaving" or "obliteration", but "replacing". Nothing is lost. Only transformed: “...Sound and water are internally connected. Water never disappears. Sometimes it is silent like the stream or thundering like a waterfall, or dense like rain. Other times it is hidden like a cloud heavy in wait of the rain or hidden like underground waters. Despite everything water never vanishes. It only changes its form and state of matter. Sound is just like water. It never vanishes. It just stops being perceivable for the human ear, but the vibration continues. Vibration is the root of the sound. Just like your hands become wet when you touch the water. You leave your sounds and vibrations to everything you touch. Everything remains written. Vibrations are like colors cast on a white stone. Every sound and every vibration have their value. The Black Adept is a master of every sound but is also absent of vibrations because he is one with the Void. One with Darkness. Darkness has no vibrations, nor sounds. However, all sounds and vibrations come from the Darkness.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 6
The Sixth Principle has yet another message: The Black Adept has to transform the Universe. There are many ways of transformation. He sees that some Soul is asleep and makes some adjustments, changing Shadows to help the Soul wake up. So with transformation, the Black Adept serves the human race and the Souls of men: “The Black Adept must edit everything created. He always has the decisive move. The Black Adept edits everything that is made. The Black Adept rejects nothing. The Black Adept accepts everything and transforms it if needed.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – Black Adepts: 3, 6, 7 Transformation is definitely one of the hallmarks of the Black Adept. The question arises: "If the Universe is perfectly arranged and created by the One, why is the correction or transformation necessary?" The Universe is ideally created, but it does not have a permanent form, it is in a constant state of change. Nature is perfect in origin but is in a constant state of change. Change is its essence. The change itself is the flow of energy, and this is what the Black Adept works with. With the energy that drives the change. This change is the renewal, which is the essence of life. Transformation is the secret of life. One of the enemies of life is old age. What is old age? Lack of transformation, lack of change, lack of re-creation. The Universe is in constant motion, and if we want to preserve ourselves, we must learn to read its messages and be in sync with it. Otherwise, we are lagging behind and getting older. We are no longer in the right place at the right time, and we are overwhelmed. In order not to grow old, we need to use the Continuous Energy of Change. Here the key is to learn new things constantly. Most people study up to a very early stage of their lives, and then only automatically apply their learning without adding anything new. They get older much faster. You need to constantly learn new things, acquire new skills, and search constantly. A person has to keep on learning until his last second in this world, so his experience passes into
the next rebirth, and the life he has lived is meaningful to the last moment. The Black Adept never get old. Even with gray hair, he still keeps the young man inside himself. He maintains his Intention invariably, constantly making new plans, setting new goals, constantly hunting for strength, constantly learning and acquiring new qualities. The Black Adept never stops walking with the Flame. He never talks about the past, because he is not there. He has taken a position before every single moment (Fifth Principle), lives on the ridge of the wave of life and controls the change. Whoever stops living the Path - ages, and then the Universe must correct him. Often for this purpose, the Universe has to take him and prepare him for another reincarnation. In this regard we can learn the Occult Rule: “Be careful not to get old.” “We both had a talk – Yellow Spider and Black Eagle. And said to me the Yellow Spider: “From Antiquity, you come, but beware not to get old.” Book of the Yellow Spider – Yellow Spider and Black Eagle: 1 This is a warning to work constantly, because whoever skips the work for today, tomorrow there will be another, and he will be aged. Whoever does not follow the Sixth Principle misses the moment (the Fifth Principle) and ages prematurely. The Black Adept never dies of old age. He leaves the body when he completes the mission. Concerning old age, there is another secret connection, this time between the Sixth and the Seventh Principles. When we have already made the transformation, we must not allow the process to reverse. Once we have made the mud into bricks and we have built a house, we cannot soil our house with mud. It is exactly here, that the Seventh Principle states: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." Do not allow weeds to creep among the flowers. Once we have made the change, we must keep the achievements. An example can be given with the temptations mentioned in a previous chapter. A certain temptation is overcome. We need to keep this status and not fall back into the same trap again. Transformation must be final. It may be useful to pass on the inertia we have accumulated in achieving the transformation. How does this work? By giving our experience to others who need the same transformation. We have overcome the temptation to smoke. Let's not stop there, but help others with similar problems. So we do not allow the "dusk" or the overcome flaw to return. Transformation of the mistakes. The Sixth Principle can also be reviewed from a different perspective. As a transformation of mistakes we made. In this case, "mud" and "weeds" can be accepted as mistakes. The principle tells us: correct your mistake now. Transform them. This also means one more thing: do not commit the mistakes again, do not overwhelm them, and do not deny them. You got mud. Mud is not a flower. Do not try to convince yourself that you have flowers, not mud. Accept the mud the way it is. Do not deny its essence. Then transform it into something useful, something constructive ("bricks"). Likewise is the situation with mistakes. We should not close our eyes to the mistakes, but understand them in depth and then transform them. Depending on your attitude to mistakes, they can be human mistakes or occult mistakes. The human mistake is the mistake of the mind. These mistakes lead to other mistakes and together they have serious consequences. The human mistakes are a deviation from Rightness and from the Seven Principles. This is when a person does not realize the cause and the reason for his mistake in depth. He can sometimes try to correct it, but through the mind and finally, the result is in the best case unsatisfactory. The human mistake comes from the misunderstanding of the Seven Principles and the Occult Rules set forth therein. When
we lie, criticize, succumb to temptations, create bad habits, it automatically leads to mistakes that most often their carrier blames other people. Thus human mistake is based on the misunderstanding. The occult mistake (or the mistakes of the Occult Disciple) is a purely technical mistake that is given to the student on his path so he can learn his lesson. Everyone can catch a cold, but it is important to know how to accept it. A man would say, "Well, now I cannot go out with my friends. My throat hurts, my nose is running - what annoyance!" The Occult Disciple would say, "Great! My throat hurts I'm just going to talk less, and I'm less likely to say wrong words. My nose is running wonderful - I will purify myself. Due to this cold, I will stay home and I will be able to read more and do the occult exercises. It turns out that this cold comes to me as a gift." The Occult Disciple has Awareness and follows the Principles. He can make mistakes on this Path from lack of Flawlessness and Awakeness, but immediately realizes his mistake and seeks among the Principles a way to correct and transform it to return to Rightness. These mistakes are very helpful because they keep the Disciple Awake and help him learn his lessons. They direct him to the Flame. Thus, the Occult Disciple transforms his life, and the person who has no Awareness is transformed by the circumstances. “Atafari said: “There is no death, no punishment, and no end. Everything is precise. Everything is a transformation from one form into another. One has been modulated, and another has been modulating. When the Sun drays the crops, is it its fault? When the river overflows its shores, is it its fault? Some modulate with the Awareness, and some are just instruments of their incompetence. The one that modulates unconsciously is an instrument that needs to be cleaned and put away just like the one that is about to be executed. The unconscious takes away one form without being able to recreate or replace it with other. The process of modulating contains namely these two steps. The wind first breaks down the tree and then takes down the seeds as well so new trees can grow. Is it the wind’s fault that the tree had broken down? Is it not the tree’s fault for letting the wind break it? The wind is only a measure: If the tree cannot withstand the strength of the wind its only option is to fall out of the way. Therefore if you don’t want to be modulated, don’t allow yourselves to dry or break. Be alive, don’t be dry. Don’t stand on the winds way. Can the wind break the sea? Mankind is still like a tree – it falls down and grows back up again. Time after time. Only the form is different. I, Atafari, am the Wind that passes through the desert.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Death: 22 The above-mentioned passage from the Book clearly shows the role in the art of transformation: One is "the Sun" and the other is the "dry crops." The Sun is the Aware, the Occult Disciple, the one who serves the Flame and the one who transforms life. The "Dry crops" are the unaware and the unaware people who have no control over their lives and are simply transformed. This passage hides more secrets of the Teachings revealed to us by Master Atafari. It implies that the transformation has two parts: the obliteration of the old and the birth of the new one - (The wind breaks the tree and spills seeds to give life to other trees.) This corresponds to the idea of the Sharpness (see Book of the Chosen Ones, Sharpness), namely that only the useful thing can be a product of transformation. Also, that life and creation come with sacrifice - a tree is sacrificed and broken so that many other trees can be born from its seeds. Here again, appears the motif that for the Black Adept the Teaching is not an occupation, but life itself and the Adept is ready to defend the Teaching with his own life as if it was his own child. And it really is. The true Disciple never copies the Teaching, but partially
recreates it. Recreation becomes his creation. This creation is the Adept's "spiritual" child. The Adept always places the Teaching over his own life and knows without the need to believe it - if the Adept's life is in danger, only the Teaching can save him... "Do not stand in the way of the wind," means not to go against transformation. Do not go against change. This means that the transformation has a direction. We should not stand against the direction of the Intention. It would be like making the bricks from sand and pouring them with water, so they turn into mud. Another motif from the above paragraph of the Book is: "Therefore if you do not want to be modulated, do not let be dried and demolished." The Occult translation means that besides not going against transformation and change, we cannot and should not stay in one place or stay idle. Whoever stands and does not move, does not develop spiritually, will be subject to someone else’s transformation. In other words, if you do not develop, someone else will develop you, and then you have to play by his rules. Both of Atafari's advices - not to go against the wind and not to remain in one place, translated according to the Occult Science are as follows: "There is only one direction and it is forward to the Flame." Of course, "forward" is quite conventional - the Flame is everywhere, including in you. The last motif of the paragraph is that the Wind is the change itself. This is why Atafari is the Grandfather of Winds. Here comes the comparison of the Ocean with the Wind. The Ocean is unchanged just like Darkness itself. The Water changes the Chosen Ones. The Water is hidden in the obvious because it is in all life. Water is life. The Wind is hidden. It is invisible and changes everything. The Wind is the absence of life. It brings both death and life. The Water takes all forms, but only temporarily and then changes over and over again. The Wind never has any shape, but it shapes the World. It sculpts stones and rocks. It makes them into sand. Whoever controls the Wind defines the principle of transformation. The Wind can be a mild breeze, but it can also be a hurricane. It can blow lightly and knock down seed from the tree to give a new life, but it can come like a storm and knock down all the trees in the woods. Hence the Occult Rule: "Turn the mistakes into your advantages." The error is an incorrect action (word or thought too), and the wrong action is a bad habit. The transformation is to recreate our bad habits into good habits. Exercise: Determine which your weaknesses are, which your harmful habits are and remove them. Replace them with useful habits. For example, if you have the habit of drinking coffee with sugar every day and realize that it is bad for your blood pressure and irritates your stomach - replace the coffee with green tea. If you have the habit of lying in front of the TV all day long - replace this habit or at least reduce it by reading. Do not let yourself watch your favorite TV channel until you have covered your reading norm for the day. In addition to recreating bad habits, it's good to build new positive habits, such as training every day, following your student program, taking care of people who need help. Formulas every day. Permanence and the like. Exercise: Do not ignore the wind when you are outside. Feel with your skin absolutely every breeze of the wind. Feel when the wind is strong. Feel the wind embrace you... You become one with the wind and now you embrace yourself. Sense the direction of the wind. Ask it where it comes from. Travel with it. The feeling is like flying. Feel how you at first are a soft breeze, and then you became a hurricane. Synchronize your breathing with the wind. Inhale and exhale.
Hidden Lines in the Sixth Principle: First hidden line: The Sixth Principle can also be viewed from another angle. The transition from general to special. There is a lot of mud - but the bricks are few. We do not process all the mud, but only as much as we need to make a brick house. The weeds are many, but the burning fire is just one. We do not use all the weeds, but only as much as necessary to light the fire. The flowers are many, but the honey is not much. Not all of the flowers give honey. In this way, we must never neglect mud, weeds, and flowers. If they were not the foundation, there would be nothing to make bricks, fire, and honey. Mud, weeds, and flowers are matters. The material that is being transformed. They are the essence of all things. Before we learn to transform them, we must learn to work with them on their own. They are linked together in several ways. In the mud (soil) grow the weeds and also flowers. Mud is the World of people, flowers are the people, and the weeds are the trials for man. Weeds are the bad thoughts, sent to people to give them the opportunity to evolve. Thus, these three elements are connected. They are common. They are our foundation. What we get at birth as a right, as opportunities. From them, we extract the special. The special elements are bricks, fire and honey. The bricks, this is when from the World (the Kingdom of the mind), we make a Temple of the Spirit. A transition from mud to bricks - from material to spiritual. The Fire is when we pass the trials and turn our mind into Intention. Weeds are the doubt that we turn into a fire (pure Knowledge). There is no room for doubt in the fire. There is utter clarity. Flowers are all people. The chosen are honey. Those among the people who will be dedicated as Adepts. Honey is the enlightened spiritual man. Everyone has the fragrance of a flower, everyone has his own aroma, but not everyone can find his hidden essence, the Flame in him (the honey). Whoever finds honey, except smell, already has a taste. The uninitiated person only has a scent - this scent cannot satisfy the hunger of the people. Only the spiritual man (honey) can feed the hungry. Only he has something to give them. The scent of the uninitiated is as a teaching, and the honey is a submission of real experience. Real, experienced knowledge. There are other connections. The mud is the clay from which the fireplace is built so that the fire can be maintained. This occult translation means that when we serve the Flame and go along the Path of the Brotherhood, we always have helpers who take care of our lively and material needs so that we can concentrate on our mission. Therefore, in this case, the fire is not somewhere in the wild forest, but it is lit in the fireplace, in the brick house. From another angle, mud/clay is needed to make a clay jar in which the honey can be stored after it has been extracted. According the Occult Science, this means that through the mud we have where to store the accumulated spiritual qualities (honey). But of course, first of all, we have to master the transformation and be able to modulate the mud (From mud make bricks). It's about the connections between the general and the special. Second hidden line. Every transformation is unique and has its line of Intention. From mud we make bricks and from the bricks, we make a house. The house may have a fireplace, but the fire might burn down the house. This means that if the person is not ready for the Sacred Knowledge, this fire will burn him and it will not be useful to him. This signifies, that between the first and the second part of the Sixth Principle, there is a balance - there are two lines of evolvement based on the Intention. This is because One leads directly to Two. Fire is needed to make the bees move away from the hive so that we can extract the honey. But the fire, if unchecked, can damage the flowers and then there is no way the bees can extract honey. Again, it depends on the Intention. There is a balance here between the second and the third part of the Principle. Two
leads naturally to Three. But here One does not lead to Three, because the flowers do not grow on the bricks, but on the soil (the mud). From the Sixth Principles can be extracted the Occult Rule: Work with nothing. Or as said by Master Alkinor: “Work with what you have.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 69 If you have only mud, do not think of honey. Work with mud. Work with what you have been given. So step by step you will get everything in the chain, and finally the honey. The lesson is not to underestimate the mud. Dirty and sticky, but bricks are made from it and with bricks we build our home. Finding the useful where no one else will see it. In dealing with people, it means we can see the hidden features of the character, the hidden qualities, and the hidden good sides it holds. Once discovered the hidden in a person, we must awaken his Flame in order to use these qualities constructively in the Mission. Thus we transform the qualities of a person by revealing what he has not been able to see alone. Transformation of the hidden into manifestation. A third hidden line is that each of the three parts of the Sixth Principle corresponds directly to the three Intentions: Awareness, Awakeness, and Flawlessness. You must have Awareness to see that bricks can be made from mud. You have to be constantly Awake so that you can separate the flowers from the weeds, so you do not tire the flowers and make fire from these weeds. Honey, you can only extract if you are Flawless. If you are not Flawless, you can work with flowers as much as you like, but you will not get honey. Fourth hidden line: The fire. Fire has a very special role because it plays a central role and connects the first part (mud to bricks) with the third part (flowers to honey). The fire bakes the mud into bricks and drives the bees to collect the honey. It also burns the weeds so the flowers cannot suffocate and maintains the heat in the fireplace of the newly built house. Fire is the hidden element in the Sixth Principle. In its central position, it reminds a lot of the PreElement Flame and the place of the Flame in the original line of the Pre-Elements: Darkness-Intention-Flame-Chaos-Water. In this hidden line, the encoded message is: Looks for the Flame. Make the Flame the center of your life and you can transform everything. Fifth hidden line: The Sixth Principle and Magic Art. Another idea, underlying the Sixth Principle is the principle of change. The Magic Art itself is a symbol of change. The Sixth Principle conceals the mystery of the Magic Art. Thus, the Sixth Principle can be translated: "Turn the mud into bricks. Turn the weeds into a fire. Turn the flowers into honey." This is the principle of transformation. The Magic is the energy that flows between and through the Shadows. Magic is the Power that is being called upon. Magic is what makes things happen. Magic makes the wind blow. Magic makes the river flow. Magic sends the sunlight from one end of the Universe to the other. Magic is the secret language of the Universe, the secret and the hidden. The Black Adept modulates the Universe through the Magic Art. This is the instrument that is given to the Chosen Ones. The Magic cannot be either good or bad. It is neither black nor white. It is simply a tool of change. This tool cannot be mastered by reading or by yourself alone. It is given only to those who have chosen to serve the Flame. Once have chosen to serve to the Flame, the Secrets of the Magic Art are
revealed to them as a gift. The Magic Art is given to the Black Adepts to be able to fulfill their mission when no one else can fulfill the mission. The Seven Principles are powerful tools for solving general trials. The Magic Art is a tool for solving trials of a special nature. The Seven Principles work with what is available. The Magic Art works with what's there and what's not. With the obvious and the hidden. With the visible and the invisible. Whoever wants to master the Magic must be constantly awake and feel even the lightest breeze of change. In order to be dedicated to the Secret, the Occult Disciple must be Flawless. Here's what Master Atafari, the Grandfather of the Winds says: “Atafari said: “The Black Adept is the modulator of the world. The Black Master can erase the identity completely like it had never existed, the way the water floods the land without leaving any traces behind it. These are the instruments of The Black Masters: Wind – Modulating, Water – Erasing, Darkness – Hiding, Light – Blinding, Flame – Extinction, Intention – Piercing, Chaos - Re-creation.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Death: 23 By this, we can see that the Magic Art of the Black Adepts is based on the Five PreElements. The Pre-Elements show the modulations in the Universe. Everything in the Shadows is a mixture of these Pre-Elements. Whoever wants to master the Magic Art must first master the Pre-Elements. The Seven Principles are the question – The Five Pre-Elements are the answer. The Seven Principles show the Path and explain it. With the Five Pre-Elements, we are plotting new paths, correcting and removing the old ones. Mastering the Magic Art allows the Occult Disciple to see and do things that are impossible for ordinary people. The Seven Principles give great freedom to those who follow them. They make changes in the human world. The Five Pre-Elements make changes throughout the Universe. After the seizure of the Seven Principles, the Occult Disciple enters into Rightness. Through the Magic Art, the Black Adept adjusts the Shadows and creates new Shadows. Creates and transforms Reality. The Magic Art can be mastered only by uniting the Three Qualities - Awareness, Awakeness and Flawlessness. Thus, with the Magic Art, there is a change in the invisible, and from there all elements of Reality appear. The Magic Art is the very symbol of change, the transformation. It is not some practice, some ritual or spell. These are just elements of the Art. The essence of the Magic Art is to change your mind and synchronize it with the Flame. Change the essence; rewrite your fate by changing your choice. Do not think of magic as a collection of practices and traditions, but as a new way of life, in which for the first time you are truly free. The Magic is when you choose to serve the Truth, the Flame, and you no longer accept the darkness in your Soul. Then the fear that made you vulnerable will disappear and you gain your independence, your Freedom. Slaves cannot be part of the Magic Art. Magic is not what you do, but what you really are. Magic is not just action, but the essence of immortality. Live every moment of your life magically. Do everything, every day, as if it was the first time you did it. Do not stop seeing the hidden beauty in all things. The Magic Art requires a Choice. When this Choice is made you become one with the Magic and you begin to master the changes. Then you can transform everything. From the mud you make bricks. From the flowers you extract honey. The dead – you revive. The ill – you heal. The healthy - you awake. The awakened person you take along on the Path of the Flame. Magic is not something you can have; it is given as a gift that you can use while you serve the Flame. If you deviate from Rightness, your access to the Magic is temporarily
limited or in a severe case - forever withdrawn. Only the Pure One can touch the Sacred Magic Art. Only the one who is so concentrated in the Flame that he sees nothing else. What does it mean to be constantly in Rightness? Imagine that in a moment you meet Atafari. What would you tell him? "I'm in Rightness. I and the Flame are one." Or you will tell him: "I am trying very hard. I try to be in Rightness." The Black Adept lives as if Atafari can appear in front of him at any moment. This obliges him to be constantly awake and responsible. Ready to protect the Teaching with his life. As the Black Adept lives all his life for the Teaching, he is ready to die for it at every moment. Only in this state of mind the Antiquity touches him and accepts him as its successor.
Sixth hidden line: The Sixth Principle and the transformation of thoughts, words, and actions. The idea of the Sixth Principle is to show us the path of transformation. Let's see how it works in practice. First, we need to have clarity about what can be transformed. There are three categories that are always subject to transformation: our thoughts, our words, and our actions. Everything as a process starts with thoughts. All the problems, which we think have come from nowhere actually come from our wrong thoughts. When we think of the worst that can happen to us; when we think of someone with hate, anger; when we think of vengeance, of how to apply violence... These are all examples of misconceptions. When we are out of concentration, we have a lot of different thoughts, and many of them are the wrong ones. At this point, we can transform them by immediately redirecting our attention. This can happen by choosing and starting to think about someone we love or someone who loves us very much. Another method is to start immediately thinking about specific positive qualities that we like in a person. A third method is to think of what our Master would do if he had a bad thought? How would he deal with it? The bad thought tells you: go, do something bad, say something bad, express yourself. And what do you say to this bad thought? What would your Master tell it? Do not hold bad thoughts in yourself as they can put roots. Immediately replace them with thoughts about loved ones, favorite moments, favorite places. Here the idea is not what we will specifically transform, but rather shift the negative thought from our minds. We shouldn`t express ourselves, but the Flame. Another subject of transformation are the wrong words. The words of other people and our own. For example, if someone insulted us with bad words and then leaves, these words remain in us and they wonder what to do. They tell us: "Come on, go ahead, and give us to somebody else." This is how these incorrect words are urging us to come out and be uttered. Instead, we can make a transformation: when someone insults us or affects us with his words and then leaves us, we need to make sure we do not continue the chain and insult someone else. That is why we can go straight to the person or the people closest to us and praise them for a job well done. If the job is not done well, we can tell them how much we value their work, give them advice on how they can do better next time (avoid words like "you have to..." and replace them with word combinations as "I would do in this situation... or I would do it in a different way") and assure them that if they are purposeful they can achieve enormous successes. To relatives, family, and friends, we can remind how much we hold on them and what are the valuable qualities that we like in them. Our relatives, family and friends, we can remind them how much we value them and what are the valuable qualities that we like about them. Some people may have thought it too much to call a friend just in order to greet him and tell him how much we value him as a friend and what qualities we like
so much in him. Is it really too much? Try it and you will see what changes this exercise does. Where are the bad words with which we have been hurt? Are they gone? If there are still some of them in our minds, we can also look for the person who has insulted us, without getting into the subject we talked about last time and deal with this person, as we did with our friends. We will not tell him the bad things we have seen in him. It`s his task to see them on his own. We will only fill the glass halfway with water by telling him the good things we see in him. So he will see that his glass is half full (his good features) and he will have the opportunity to ask himself and find out that his "glass" is half empty. He, by himself, must realize the need to correct his behavior and his words. Even if it is a person who has hurt us and who will never see us again, if we follow the advice given above and transform the received bad words, and decide to pass them on to other people as positive words, at one point or another, we see which things really make sense. The received bad words are beginning to fade in front of all the positive words we have spoken to so many people around us. This is also the future of the bad word: it is highly contagious if you decide to surrender it along the chain, but if you eradicate it from your consciousness, it cannot survive and die. Here's what Master Achaak Chimil says about overcoming the wrong words: “The second step in winning over the Devil is the Voice. You need to clean your words and thoughts. The Devil does not live in an underground world, but on the tip of your tongue, waiting to be called. One wrong word, one rough word, one spoken or accepted insult, one wrong opinion, one wrong conclusion, one critic and you lose the Flawlessness. Every word is a holy being and once spoken it starts its own life. If the word is right, it will move you forward all the way. If the word is wrong, it will stumble you, and then you will need to spend time getting back up. Remember with the speaking out of the wrong word you do not start the battle with the Devil. With the wrong word, the battle is over, and you already have lost. You are already under the Devil’s control. The Devil does not speak the words instead of you. You do it on your own. He is the one who gives material for your thoughts. He whispers to you dangerous thoughts, and then you start misinterpreting them. The insult, the opinion, the critic, the conclusions, the rough words – they all start in your mind first. When they conquer your thoughts, they transform in words and get spoken. The wrong words are the most dangerous weapon of the Devil. The most horrifying enemy of humankind. They are dangerous because they are strongly underestimated. Nobody takes them seriously. Nobody sees them as a problem. Nobody pays attention to them. Until is too late. That’s why you must be one with the Flame. In the Flame, there are no thoughts. When a thought appears, determine where it is coming from and where does it lead to, what would be the consequences, and if it is wrongful – erase it. Everything that is happening in the thoughts is also happening somewhere in the Worlds-shadows. The thoughts just like the words are living beings, but they are with hidden nature. The wrong thoughts are like weeds in the garden of your mind. The weeds need to be removed on time, while still a germ. If you are too late, the weeds will take over your consciousness, and sometimes there is no going back.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 40 Similar is the method of work with the wrong actions. Here are two basic tactics. One is to make a change instantly. The second tactic is to make a transition by going from the wrong action to nonaction or inaction. Then we can take a radically different move and behavior from what we had before. This tactic is closely related to the principles of time and the Fifth Principle. The question is whether to act immediately or to wait. If we sense that we are out of the moment and make a mistake
after a mistake, and especially if each of our mistakes leads to another one, then we have to stop. It is better to close ourselves at home without going out and through spiritual practice, ritual activity, and meditation to clear our minds, analyze the reasons and causes of the mistakes we made. From which of the Seven Principles we have deviated from and why. Then we can take concrete action after we have seen the right direction. This tactic of waiting is more suitable when it comes to us specifically. In our relationship to others, it is better to correct the wrong action immediately. Someone has insulted us, as we have traveled around the city; a salesman has cheated us with the product and the bill. It is important that we do not allow ourselves to give birth to wrong thoughts and allow them to produce wrong words and actions. We must break the chain and look to take action in favor of someone. Something that would be useful for the development of another. If we feel affected, we have to wait and do nothing by using the technique of thought transformation and start to think about something we love, someone we love and the good qualities that we like in this person. So we turn time to our side and look for an opportunity for noble action. Most people are so far away from the Rightness, that it's hard to find a Soul that needs guidance and advice. To protect ourselves from wrong actions, there is another tactic: to keep ourselves far from inaction. Inaction shows a lack of purpose, a lack of direction. Then one easily deviates from Rightness. Instead, we can set a task for ourselves, seek for Souls to help with enlightenment, through thoughts (Formulas), speech (introducing them into the Seven Principles and the Teaching, in a direct and indirect way) and by action (by giving a personal example and explaining our actions). In this way, looking for how to help those who need guidance, we step by step begin to realize the responsibility we carry and makes us aim for Rightness. This prevents wrong actions. Seventh hidden line: Transformation of the accumulated karma. “Satan does not exist you created it. God does not exist, but you believed in him, and you lost your center. Karma does not exist. Your conscience punishes you enough. Only the Flame exists, and in its brightness, both God and Satan fade away.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 21 Even in this hidden line of the Sixth Principle, we see again that the Flame is placed over everything else. The quoted passage does not deny God, Satan, and karma, but emphasizes that they only exist when you are out of the Flame. Here is the key. How to overcome Satan's temptations - become one with the Flame. How to transform the accumulated karma - become one with the Flame. In the Sixth Principle, there is a direct connection with karma. There are three basic levels of accumulated karma: flowers, weeds, and mud. Why flowers too? Flowers are the people with the lightest karma. There is relative purity in them, but they still have things that connect them to the earthly - that is why the flowers are rooted in the earth. What holds them? The contact with the World. Earth desires and ambitions. If they manage to get rid of the desires for material superiority, the human way of thinking and the desire to possess in all its forms, the flowers will become honey. Flowers have almost no accumulated karma from previous incarnations. Or if they have it, it is relatively light. Weeds are people with more severe karma - they are not only burdened with the karma of "flowers", they not only want the wrong things and point out the wrong goals, but also prevent other people (flowers) from evolving. These are the people-parasites. They criticize, blame, infect others with their mistaken thinking, and impose it as a model. This kind of people have karma from previous lives, but instead of clearing it, they are adding more karma. They are not focused on themselves, but on others. The weeds want to multiply and suck out the energy of others. The weeds are not like "flowers," which have goals, ambitions, and desires (though wrong). The weeds are distinguished
by the fact that they have neither goals nor ambitions and their desires are very primitive and disorganized. They do not have their own life and that is why they live the lives of others. There is no development in the weed, there is no growth. Everything is the same. The weed has the chance to become either a flower or mud, depending on its choice. So we must be very careful with weeds. On this occasion the Teacher Yellow Spider advises us: “The ideas are the Flowers. The Soul is the fruitful land. The Spirit is the Sun, and the mind is the weed. When you remove the weed, the Flowers will bloom. But beware not to remove the Flower along with the weed and if it can’t be saved, uproot them both, so that you’ll preserve the Flawlessness.” Book of the Yellow Spider – The Garden of the Spider: 4 Flowers need water (thirst for Knowledge), and then appear the Teachers and the Mentors (bees), and so the honey is extracted and the flowers become honey - the earthly person becomes spiritual. In the weeds, the transformation is much more labor-intensive. They need something sudden and general to overturn their lives. Weeds need to be burned in the fire to be transformed. Fire is associated with passing through a trial and severe suffering. In order to pass through them, the "weed" must consciously choose them and consciously enter the "fire". These are people who have accumulated a lot of karma, realized their mistake and wished to escape. A typical example in Hollywood films is the motive for the convicted of a serious crime, who changes in jail, becomes highly religious and changes his way of thinking and seeing the world. It is precisely what the weed needs - to change the way of thinking and realizing the reality. Flowers need to get rid of the mind entirely and connect with the Soul. If the weed continues not to take lessons from its actions, it will sooner or later be transformed into mud. The mud is the people who pay very heavy karma from past lives - people with severe or incurable chronic diseases and sicknesses. The task for them is to realize what they pay for and why they pay for it. In this way, they can "get out of the mud". This category of people needs someone to give them a goal, give them a form (From the mud bake bricks). These people need to be harnessed into action and just to follow in order for their mind to work at minimum speed and not confuse them. The problem of the mud is that it has no form - it does not see any sense in its own life. It is very important to be able to make the mud to realize its own importance and to see its qualities. To realize its purpose in life. When we uncover the Flame to such a person, the "fire" burns him, and from the mud, he becomes a brick. Then he has to find his place in the building. There are also such cases where the mud-person is in such a deep layer of mud, that there is no getting out in lifetime - the mud just wants someone to sink and pull him down and down. If the weeds are people who want to suck out the energy of flowers and infect their minds, the mud-person is a heavier case if he does not get help in time. These are people who deliberately commit themselves to crimes, live by lying, and use all forms of violence. In this way, they sink even more into the mud and there is no way out. Depending on the specific situation, their right to choose as men may be partially limited or temporarily withdrawn from the Ancients, and in a subsequent life they may receive another form (non-human) in order to be forced to repay the accumulated. The karma is cleared when we look at the Flame and when the Flame appears in our lives. We start with Awareness - then it is very difficult to accumulate new heavy karma because even if we commit a non-attentional mistake, we immediately correct it in the Awareness. After Awareness, we develop Awakeness and thus help others to transform their karma. With Awareness and Awakeness, we develop Flawlessness, and with this Flawlessness, we cleanse and process the old accumulated karma. About Flawlessness, the Master Adaat Chichik tells us the following:
“The third merit is the Rightness. Rightness is being Flawless in your actions. Only Flawlessness defeats the stronger enemy. The Flawlessness gives you the opportunity to be in the right place and the right time. If the enemy is faster, you have to pick the exact moment to counter him. When you stop him in his tracks, his speed is no longer pure. The single right moment is more relevant than speed. The speed of the enemy is routine. The moment you counter him, an Intention appears, and it brings a change in the situation and a transformation in the enemy. In order to seize the moment your enemy has first to enter your space. So I cannot bite anyone too far away from me. I have to first let it near me. When the enemy is stronger, strike his weakest point. Precision beats prowess. The weakest point is the crossing of his strengths.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Motion: 25 Also important is the method by which we will work with "mud", "weeds" and "flowers". How do we bring the "fire" to them? How to awaken the Flame? On this subject, Master Aasim says the following: “The people asked Aasim, how to convince the others who do not believe in the Teachings. Aasim replied: ”Eye, Hand, Voice. The aware consciousness says the right word in the right moment and gives an example with flawless acts. Gathered together, and a Center will be formed. From the Center starts a new Path to follow. The Path to the Flame.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 82
Exercise: "Ahaar, teach me how to recreate my past incarnations into Flawlessness." Book of the Chosen Ones - Words - Disciples` Formulas: 56 (Repeat 9 times). This formula applies to us. Exercise: "Ahaar, give (name) cries and sufferings to choose life in Flawlessness." Book of the Chosen Ones - Words - External Formulas: 16 (Performed with 3 repetitions) This formula applies to others. Exercise: If you make a mistake, do not blame yourself, but self-analyze and see where the defect is. Seek the spiritual cause, principality. Repeat the situation now in pure form at the earliest opportunity so the mistake can be replaced by a pure action. Never allow yourself to make the same mistake twice. The first time will be a useful lesson. The second time may have consequences. Exercise: Similarly, analyze and monitor others carefully. Study them and see where they are confused and what they could improve. Then browse the "routes" that they have gone through, without committing their mistakes. Monitor and study the affairs of leaders in different fields. Exercise: When you draw up a plan, consider what the mistakes could be and eliminate the possibility of letting them happen. Mistakes must be prevented before they happen.
UR Wishing all Brothers and Sisters to be able to transform their mind into Soul, and the Soul into Intention. Feel the Wind of Change and let it take from you all that is
unnecessary, until there is nothing left. Until the Flame is left. Then the Universe will greet you with "Welcome"... Brotherly, Moriel Yamanu School of the Black Brotherhood, September, 2018.
CHAPTER 7: SEVENTH PRINCIPLE
THE SMILE AND THE REJECTION OF DARKNESS
We will now look at the Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." For this, there is a hidden reason. If the First Principle hints at everything that comes out of us: lies, criticism, insults, and many others, the Seventh Principle hints at everything we accept in ourselves: the insults of others, their criticisms, and opinions... Let's first look at the principle itself: "Do not allow...“ In this part, Master Aasim implies about the primary Choice granted to man. This is the mystery: to accept what is offered to us or not? What is the measure? The Lightness. Where the Truth is hidden, everything is easy. With clarity. With a sense of connectivity. There may be difficulties, trials, and obstacles, but they again are passed through with Lightness. In making a Choice, one must be like a river: the choice is made in the beginning - the river must reach the sea (the Ancient Homeland, the Creator). Man may choose not to flow with the river and dry - these are the people who choose the material above the spiritual. They do not want to flow naturally to the sea but want to subdue the mountain peaks. In a more practical aspect and from the point of view of Lightness, the Choice of river-man is from where to pass on his way to the sea. “The river flows through where the least resistance is.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 66 This is the Lightness, which is being sought. Not to choose Lightness and stop to flow, but to choose to flow with Lightness in a natural way. Whoever makes the Choice consciously and begins to flow, the opposite momentum also appears. "Brakes" appear along the way. These are the stones and rocks. These are trials on our path. Problems at work, family problems, health problems... What does the river do?
The river does not try to pass through the rock and crush it - if the river does, this stops the river`s evolvement and looks so closely at a tree, which fails to see the whole forest. The river is doing something else – the river passes between the big rocks and does not stop to crush any of them, because it knows its mission and its purpose - to reach the sea, rather than to crush the rocks. In human terms, this means, that when we are given a trial, we should not fall to its level. It is a trial as if a stone falls before us - if we only concentrate on it, we will miss the point on the horizon we have been aiming for. The way to deal with the trials is to make them a part of our mission, which is to reach the "sea". If we make the trial as a center of our lives, then the trial wins - it has departed us from the Mission, from returning to the Homeland, from the flowing to the sea. We experience problems in our family and we are so concentrated on them, that these problems become everything for us. We cannot take a break. After a lot of struggle with these difficulties, we finally solve them in one way or another, and we think we have passed an important trial in our life. This is an illusion. We have solved one problem, one stone, but we have forgotten the importance of the Mission during this time. And what's going on? We've solved the family problems, but now we get sick... The mission is still in the background, we stop flowing and now we concentrate on improving our health... And yet, we make another mistake. It is a mistake because it is an unnatural action. How can you solve your health? In the first place, it is not yours. For health, no one can purchase. You could have only a "rental contract". You "rent" your health. It is given to you to serve it, not to waste it. We are focused on dealing with our problems with our relatives. And why did these problems appear? Because we have not seen them through the eyes of the Mission and see that our relatives are a part of our Mission - to give them Unconditional Love. To look upon them as Souls in need, to which we must give our hand and not fight them and try to impose our will (the example already mentioned with the river that erroneously stops to destroy each rock separately). If we stop for every trial and prioritize it, we place the Mission on a second plane, and so the problems come one after the other and we are entangled in their net. You will ask: well, how can we deal with the problems then? As the river does - it flows pass between them to survey them, to study them, and to proceed to the sea - so it shows them where the right direction is. The river does not abandon them - it continues to flow in between and around the stones, but does not stop bumping into them, but only tells them: "Unconditional Love is the way to the sea, come with me and abandon your burden!" Thus we solve "the stones", the problems in our life - with a personal example of the right direction. How do we deal with our problems? Embracing them with love and understanding as the river embraces the stones in a water hug. By clearly understanding that these problems are just part of our Mission to the Black Brotherhood and to all of humanity. Therefore, it can be said, that in a sense: "Do not let the stones stop your urge to flow to the sea" and "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile" are almost synonyms. Therefore, the Rule we can draw is: "Do not let the sun rise out of your sight", meaning "Do not let the trials deviate you from your Path." “Instead of being corrected, mistakes should not be allowed in the first place. For the one who creates and act together with Intention, mistakes turn into advantages, and problems can only look at him from afar and never reach him. The biggest mistake is to go against the Laws of Intention. It’s like swimming against the current of a river – you’ll never reach the Spring.”
Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 19 The Seventh Principle may be interpreted in another way. Dusk is the doubt, and the smile is the Sun. The smile shows what you see. It is a reflection of the Sun. The smile is searching for the hidden, to give it its Love. That's why the smile is always searching - to give the Light of the Sun to everyone. Do not let the doubts keep you from seeing the Sun (the goal to which you walk). Doubt is like a fog that descends and you cannot see the star that guides you on your path. Doubt is the most dangerous enemy of man. Doubt is a special type of trial, which comes to show us if we are worthy to walk on the Path and serve the Mission. Doubt is far more dangerous than many other trials because it questions the Rightness of your actions. Doubt is very dangerous, mainly because it takes away the tools you need to deal with other trials. It removes the right to Choice, which is the original right of man. Doubt tries to instill, that everything is predetermined and you have no choice. Everything you do is meaningless, and if you do it anyway, it's all the same - you are insignificant. The Truth is every action of yours echoes in the Universe. Every word of yours, every action of yours and all your thoughts produce consequences somewhere in the Universe. The Aware can see and feel it. The purpose of the doubt is, that after it has instilled in you, that there is no such thing as Choice, to blur your judgment. Then Awareness retreats. And what happens? "If any of my actions are irrelevant, then let me do whatever comes my way, without complying with the Universal Principles and Rules." Then we lose the Path and start wandering - from one problem to another. From one doubt to another. Doubt often moves with other two companions - proofs and beliefs. The person who seeks proofs to be able to follow the mission has lost in advance. From both proofs and beliefs, proofs are less dangerous, because even the partially awakened, soon realize that real things in life cannot be proven. Whoever has ever been in love knows that the loved one does not need any proof and if you go looking for a scientific explanation, you lose the feeling. Belief is much more dangerous because it has an internal logic. However, there is no logic in the Flame. “Faith maybe enough for God, but it won’t help you to go back to the Ancient Homeland. And like this, because of your faith, you will wander without a Home. If you have chosen the path of the faith, you have chosen the most certain path to selfdeception. Where there is a sea of faith, you always have drops of doubt. The doubt is a poison that spoils the water. Your faith does not change the Universe or writes new laws. Your faith is just your decision of what you are choosing to see, and what you consciously choose not to see. Just because you have opened your eyes to see a certain picture, and it has begun its existence for you, it does not mean, that you have created the picture. It has always been there long before you. In The Teachings of the Black Brotherhood, there is no place for faith. This is where faith becomes unnecessary. In the Teachings, there is no place for doubt. There is only Intention. The Intention does not need proof or believe. The Intention knows without a shadow of doubt, the same way nobody can convince someone in love that they are not in love. The faith is the veil through which everyone needs to pass in order to go back to the Homeland.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 46
Therefore, never doubt in yourself, in the Teaching, in the Teacher, and in the relationship between them. There are prerequisites for the occurrence of doubt: mind, fear, misunderstanding, bias. “You’ve got several big enemies, my friend. Fear is one of them. It freezes and blackens your life. You keep doubting in yourself and the others, keep worrying about how people will accept you and what they’ll think about you, keep worrying about your closest ones, keep making suppositions, because you don’t know what exactly happens. You’re not happy, my friend. The fear took away your happiness. You are always scared that why you are accessible to illusions. You ceaselessly think, and namely, your mind called in the fear. Firstly you met your first enemy – the misunderstanding. When you didn’t understand, you got out of the right doing and started to think. But the mind is a dangerous and muddled labyrinth with no exit. The mind keeps blaming on you, making you doubt, suggest and guess in the dark. This way the second enemy brings you to the third one – the fear, which implants into the human Soul and doesn’t let man live. The fear will take you to the fourth enemy – the death of the Soul. The death is related to the prejudices. At that point, there’s no development anymore for the Souls, and the life has dried up. Hunter is the one who has overcome those four enemies. Therefore beware the first enemy – the misunderstanding. Don’t lie, don’t criticize, and don’t succumb to unwise impulses. Don’t give in to the mind. You’ll solve your problems not with thinking and speculating, but with the Right Action. Be reasonable and thoughtful, but don’t think. The mind will push you toward fear, and the fear will push you toward death. All the crimes and problems you commit are in your mind. Don’t search for your death sentence.” Book of the Black Eagle - Ahaar's Teachings: 20 Thus, the Seventh Principle is connected by the line of the mind with the Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." To eliminate the wandering, panicking suspicious mind and replace it with pure reason: “The third and most dangerous enemy is your own mind. Your thoughts. There is a difference between thinking and reasoning. The first is wandering, and it calls for fears, it works with guesses, it lets doubts in, and it stuns your movements. The reason essentially uses one of its eyes to watch over the path, and it keeps the other eye on the goal on the horizon. The mind keeps both of its eyes on its own feet, and this is why every next step of the path is a mystery, and it spikes fear. Thinking and reasoning go on the same path, but they walk it in a different manner. Walking on a dark trail in the forest the mind is activated, and it starts to wonder: „What if I get lost? What if I get attacked by bandits? What If I don’t survive? How would I find food? I don’t see anything in the darkness! What is that in the distance? What if it is a beast?” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 6 As can be seen from the above example, the mind provokes doubt. The Third Principle teaches us to turn our mind into the Sun, always to seek above all the Truth, the Flame. Whatever trial or difficulty we encounter, let us not look at the trial
separately, but as part of the whole, as part of the Flame. Always through the prism of the Flame. This means not looking for proofs or relying on blind beliefs, but looking for the root cause of the trial, the problem, the obstacle. The spiritual reason why it happened. To understand that the problem is only part of a greater plan. When the problem comes, it seems difficult and heavy, and we can easily despair. Sometimes it seems hopeless. But we do not have to believe, but to know that all trials are temporary and come with a specific purpose and a specific lesson for us. When the problem or trial comes, we should not ask, "Oh, when will this agony finally come to an end?" but ask, "Where is the Flame in this trial? What can I extract from this trial? What spiritual use can I gain from this trial?" This is an example of the right attitude with which we apply the Third Principle as a corrective method of a defect in the Seventh Principle and in particular the Rule: "Do not doubt." Whoever constantly seeks the Flame cannot rely on proofs. This is the path of the scientists: today they prove something, after ten years another proves the opposite, and they are wandering for centuries because they do not have the Truth: “Once through the Desert a group of scientists was walking. They were looking for some objects to prove a theory. But in the Desert, there are neither theories nor proofs. There is one theorem, and that is the tireless Sun. The Sun would make the air in front of the scientists to tremble. They were at the end of their strengths, and all their knowledge, formulas and theorems couldn’t help them. At that moment the glass of water was more important that all the knowledge of the World. And so, the scientists died, and they became a subject of an investigation by other scientists, and all of their knowledge, proofs, and theories sank in the sands. One should not proof theories in the Desert. In order to revive there, you need no knowledge – you need to become Spirit and Live Water. The Desert is not a place for scientists. The Teachers are born and baptized there.” Book of the Ancient Serpent – The Desert: 14
The Third Principle only shows us the Path to the perfection of the Seventh Principle and the overcoming of doubts. It is the Sixth Principle that really shows us how to walk the Path. Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey." The doubt itself is difficult to transform. The preconditions for it must be transformed: the mind, fear, misunderstanding, and prejudice. Let us turn our mind into reason (see Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 6). When we are reasonable and do not give in to the mind, there will be no fear. To be afraid means to be accessible. Accessible for darkness. That is why we are told not to let the darkness overshadow our smile. Here comes the question of where this smile comes from? What are we smiling at? The Hidden Flame (the hidden God). Why do we smile? Because of the deep Love to God. Even if you have nothing to eat, even if you do not have a job, you have to smile inside and out. With the smile comes the gratitude. With gratitude comes the understanding. With understanding comes Awareness. With Awareness comes Awakeness. With Awakeness comes Flawlessness. With Flawlessness comes Life in Rightness. Then the Flame appears. So the smile is important. This is how the fear, the misunderstanding, and the prejudice are transformed. Whoever sees the Flame and serves the Flame, the Brotherhood, and the Mission and firmly believes in what he does - fear cannot break him. Fear cannot scare him. Fear makes you accessible, and whoever serves the Flame does not live in this world, but is only physically present.
Every day you have to find something to smile at. The smile means you can see the secret, the hidden. The Adept does not smile at the obvious, but at the hidden, which is invisible to others. That's the smile. The Adept smiles both internally and externally because he sees things not accessible to people. Therefore the Seventh Principle smile is in conjunction with the Fourth Principle: “To work/smile with what is invisible to others.” The smile is the Key. The smile is the Center. It is like the Flame - in the Center of everything. This is the Zero. When you laugh it is a positive emotion, but it is not a center. Laughter is the positive numbers. You have to transform the emotions into the Flame. To transform laughter into a quiet smile. On the other side sadness, grief, melancholy, nostalgia, and others are the negative numbers. They also have to be introduced into the Flame, in a silent smile. Why? Because both laughter and noise, as well as sadness, grief, melancholy, are prerequisites for misunderstanding. No matter how nice they are, they can divert us. It does not mean to never laugh, but to be alert to what we really laugh at. Laughter often acts unloading and uniting with other people, but we must not lose Awareness and always be aware of what we really laugh at. If we laugh a lot, let's ask this question: "What do I laugh at? Is there something I am missing? I saw the funny side, but what am I missing to see? Which then is the non-funny side? " Defects in the Seventh Principle, overcome through the Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey." There are many ways of transformation and one of them is the system called "the Seven Doors". One of those Doors is the anger. Someone calls us with an offensive word or does something to provoke anger. Let's immediately see what the natural reaction would be - we get angry. All right. That everyone could notice. Let's now see which is the other way we could react. We can strategically respond to the person, but not with anger, but purely neutrally: "Is there a specific reason why you told me this insult or why you acted in such a way? I know you did not do it to offend me, but I want to help you and figure out the reason. Would you like to share?" We do not have to say every word written above the same way, but it will be beneficial to keep this behavior in general. Or if we talk, to have a similar strategy. If we really cannot understand why a person is doing something, but it is obvious that he does not do it because of us, let's ask him. Why is it obvious? Because people do everything for themselves to feel safer, more confident, to feel a certain way, but not for us. Whatever they say to us, they do it for their sake. Here the question is not what they want from us, but what do they want for themselves. We are not subject to their "hunt". We are standing on their way. People are usually unaware. They do not see things spiritually and for them, emotion is food. Especially for the creatures that possess their Souls, because their Souls are not complete and self-contained. The creatures in them are hungry and want food. Passion, anger, hate, temptation... These are emotions, energies that exhaust people, and they thus destroy themselves. The Adept knows how to transform emotions. He simply merges with the Flame and sees that emotions are not part of him, but they are like clothing that he dresses in. The Adept asks, "I do not need this clothing, but let's see who needs it..." The Adept never dresses other people’s clothes. He only accepts them and passes them to others. This does not mean that if someone has hurt us, we have to hurt him back. We have to choose what we will give these people. Somebody offends us and logically expects our insult in return. This is how he would be able to look at himself. To satisfy the needs of his ego. Instead, it's good to be
indirect, to intrigue the person with some activity, to be constantly busy, so he will not have the time to think. A woman who constantly argued with her husband wondered what to do. Someone advised her to make him a gift - fishing rod. So she did. They argued again. She locked herself in the bedroom, and her husband had nothing to do ... so he took the fishing rod and went fishing... So gradually, if he sensed a scandal, he grabbed his fishing rod and disappeared. When he returned he was already calm. Eventually, he realized that his wife gave him the fishing rod because she cared for him. We can urge a person to another activity - to direct his anger not to us, but to someone else, and thus to unite with him and to instruct him how to cope with the anger. Let's remember something - the person just needs to look around, look at himself in the light of anger. He has no need to apply insults and anger to us in particular, but in general to pour out his feelings. Let's direct his emotions to another, and we will become his ally. So we can start with: “Yes, I can understand you. And I, in your place, would be angry.” Then going to: “I was angry that day at a person, but I decided to try to figure out the cause and came to the conclusion that...” And get to: “And why don’t you reassemble? You both have different reasons for your anger. You may be more useful to each other if you talk what actually everybody wants and seeks”. This is how we redirect someone's emotions away from us without responding to them. But we still condemn in our thoughts. How to get rid of this? We have already had the prudence to stop ourselves from action and words of counter-reaction to the person who has offended us. We have broken the connection between thoughts and words and actions. We have not reacted. But we still have the negative emotions in our thoughts. Now we have to remove the offense out of our minds. This can be done by transforming thought into action. The easiest example is to indulge in sports and exercise until we get tired. Another way is to determine ourselves in something useful for someone else. Caring for someone, physically and spiritually. We have a child or an old parent: Let's cook them and give them attention. But it must be a person who is very beloved to us; otherwise, there is a danger of passing on the harmful emotions to him. By doing something for him or her, we need to concentrate on doing it excellently. In connection with the Seventh Principle. The Principle overcomes through the Seventh Principle itself. All of the above are ways of transformation of a particular emotion. This is a cure, but it is not a healing. The cure heals only for the moment, but after a while, the disease may appear again. The healing is final. For healing, we must see Truth in depth. If you have a small child, we know that it sometimes throws a bowl of soup down and makes a mess. Even after seeing that we are pointing out this action as a wrong, the child does it again and again. Deliberately. But not to make us angry. It seeks emotion. Attention. Our reaction. Can we be angry with it? The child barely senses the consequences of his actions, but still does not understand them. The easiest thing to do is to react and yell at him. But what will be the meaning? The child will not understand. We have to ask ourselves, what is really the child looking for when makes trouble. It could be just food. If it is fed, it may be looking for attention. Adult people are the same, from a spiritual point of view. They are children, who do not fully understand the consequences of their actions. The Adept is the parent who,
despite the fact that his child is making trouble, has to take care of it and put his child's interest in front of the momentary anger of the trouble made. Whoever chooses the role of the parent, the role of the Adept, does not succumb to provocation. We know that we are sent by the Teacher, to take care of the Souls of the people and when we are in the service of the Souls, we leave their minds in the background. If we look at ourselves in every situation, as a spiritual parent and see the people around us as our children, we will be closer to Rightness. Then we will not take insults personally. We will not see everything as a trial, but we will look at people as sick patients, who have been sent to us to be healed. We also have another way of making a shield against accepting things personally, and that is by drawing up a schedule. From this hour until that hour, I will commit my time to Formulas and Rituals. Then I will do sports. Then I'll cook. Everything scheduled by hours. It is important, that whatever we do, to be maximally concentrated in it. We have been offended - very well, but we are now in service. Service to the Flame, service to the Teaching, to the Mission, service to the people around us, whose Souls are entrusted to us, service to our body, so that we can be in form to serve... There is no time to react to insults. We're occupied with more important things. Here is another method of transformation, which comes from the Sixth Principle: It is very important if we have been provoked and we feel the words rushing in our mouth, to think what we will say. We must have great respect for the words. The words of your loved ones have brought you joy. The bad words, of people who have not understood themselves, have hurt you. The words. That's how important they are. You have to realize before you say something, what the consequences will be. Imagine all the words, purely visually, before you say them. Where will they go? To where are they directed? Where will they reach? Will they reach the ears of the person for whom they are intended? Will they reach this person`s mind? Where? How? In his mind? In his Soul? Will they help him with something? Or will they just do him harm? Watch over every word, as if it was made by pure gold. Live in the silence. Talk only when it's really necessary and measure every word. If you're not sure what to say – remain silent. Here's how we control the connection between thoughts and words. To realize the importance of words and their importance as a part of our Path to mastery in the Word. Go through every word consciously, as if you are walking on a rope - every step is important. Otherwise, if you're not careful, you can fail. Summarized for the Seventh Principle: How to establish everything in the smile? With the smile you understand the importance of the Mission. You understand that everything in the Universe has its purpose, its role. You understand that you also have your role, your Mission. Can you understand the importance of your mission and all, which depend on your actions and to give yourself to side-emotions? You have a meaning for yourself and others. Something greater than yourself. Laughter shows the misunderstanding. You are sad when you are obsessed with yourself instead of serving the Mission. Find a reason to smile at your mission every day and to see its meaning for your life and for everyone else. Laughter is dangerous. We often laugh through laughter. As it was fashionable in American comedy movies to be performed by fat people so everyone to laugh at them. And it became somewhat natural that fat people are funny. Being overweight is a very serious health problem and there is nothing funny about it. So with laughter and
mockery, we miss seeing something important. Whenever we laugh at somebody, we miss something essential. Sometimes people are sad and depressed. But if they see things right, nothing would be sad for them anymore. Everything would be just. So the Smile is the balance. Self-control comes not from fear of punishment in failing to realize the Principles, but from a high self-awareness and awareness of the importance of the Mission and the personal responsibility we bear before mankind as Black Brothers and Sisters. That's where the Smile comes from. From knowing our Mission and the role we perform in it. Whoever knows his the role, is constantly serving and has no time for sadness and self-pity. While you are sad and feeling sorry for yourself, who will care for the Souls of humans, who will protect them from their dangerous minds? Thus, laughter, noise, sadness, self-pity are a condition that cannot help us in our personal mission. They are not of real benefit either to us or to the people whose souls we should take care of. Therefore these conditions are unnecessary. If we accidentally fall into such states of mind, the Sun must shines on us immediately, to show us that we lead a Mission, to show us the importance of the Mission and that these conditions are not real. We have more essential things to do. To serve the Flame and the entire Universe. Practically, if we fall into such a state, we just have to find a task on the Mission: doing Formulas, meditations, Rituals, reading the Book, doing any useful action on the Book and the Mission. This way we go out of these conditions. Let it be clear, that we have to distinguish things. We are not the grief or the self-pity, nor the mockery or the noise... We are we, and these states are just visitors, who will soon leave. What will always remain in us is the Flame. Thus, the Awareness of these extreme polemic states, which are on both sides of the Smile (the Zero, the Center) and the abandonment of these states, corresponds to the Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." As we have said at the beginning, the Seventh Principle is to a large extent the reverse of the First Principle. The First Principle is what comes out from us (It is not by chance that even Christ has said that not what comes into our mouths (food) will pollute us, but what comes out (the words we say). The Seventh Principle is what we accept in ourselves. Here comes the question: what can we accept and what not? What we decide to accept, what do we do with it: do we store it in ourselves, pass it on to another or process it? When we talk about the "dusk", which has overshadowed our "smile", we talk about insults addressed towards us, obtrude opinions, foreign points of views, foreign thoughts of the mind, wrong and harmful foods. In the context of the above, the most inappropriate thing we can do is to pass this disease on to others. That is to become a conductor of a chain reaction. A typical example is when somebody insults us at work, we cannot cope with this insult in our hearts, we go back home and we take it out on one of our loved ones. So the chain reaction continues. Whoever serves the Flame cannot afford to become part of the foreign ignorance. That is why the Seventh Principle is so important, as its misunderstanding and non-observance become a prerequisite for breaking the First Principle. Another option is not to allow a chain reaction but to store the insult in us. This is a bit better than the chain reaction, but it's still wrong, as we self-crash, letting in ourselves things that are unnecessary. This is contrary to the Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." This can be put in another way: Do not do anything unnecessary or do not allow into yourself anything unnecessary. Setting up an insult (accepting things personally) is also contrary to the Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." To solve the problem with the insult, we can use the Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey." How do we
transform the insult? First of all, understanding it. Here are some methods: 1. When your concepts are confronted with someone else's, do not act with that object in hostility, but try to understand him in his own views. Try to understand where his ideas originate and how they are formed. This will give you a clearer idea of how to approach him, in order to avoid confrontation. To put it shortly, we should not accept insults and criticism, knowing that man defends his ideas and does it for himself, not for us. Then we have to try to look at his position to see how he sees the world. Always try to understand and analyze. Never hurry with the conclusions. People talk and act to satisfy themselves, not you. So, live your own life. No one will do it for you. 2. If you get offended, try to analyze objectively, the word that offended you and why was it used. Look for what the "creatures" in the given person want to hint. For example "idiot". Let`s drop it down. (Idiot- Id. So what`s my real identity? iDIOt. Dio. Where is God in me? I`d (iot). I`d or I would. What would I do if I was an idiot?) This way, you'll make sure that words are not what you thought they were. The meaning of all the words has changed significantly. You will not be offended as you were before. Although fairly basic, the method helps to understand many other phenomena. Understanding that people have not reached this state of consciousness, to realize, that it is the duty of every one of us, to give Brotherly and Sisterly care to the Souls of others, we cannot blame people for insulting us, intruding their opinions and criticizing us. It is right to assume that in the spiritual sense, these people are our children and they are just not yet prepared and not yet spiritually mature. It is our duty to understand them so that we can guide and direct them. If someone insults us, let us not think of ourselves, but why did the person in front of us had the need to offend us. What's wrong with him? What does he suffer from? From what do we need to heal his Soul? The rule we can draw is: "Do not take things personally." People, who are not spiritually mature, are like leaves drawn by the wind and succumb to a chain reaction. When someone offends them, they accept things personally and in turn offend another person. An Adept must never allow becoming part of a chain reaction. The Adept must always be constant and never be influenced by external factors. When someone behaves well with you and helps you, he does not do it for you, but for his sake. In this way, he feels good and protects his own self-image. This way he takes things personally and often makes mistakes in his plans. Example: At a funeral, the saddened ones are sad for the deceased. This is still a personal attitude. They accept things personally. They grieve because they feel personally sad and they do not wonder if the deceased feel sad for them. So it turns out, that they are sad not for the deceased, but for themselves. They are constantly possessed by the idea of their personality. People do not realize what actually they are mourning for at the funeral. They are not sad about the past moments with the deceased, because these moments have already passed. They are saddened by the future moments, which they will miss with the deceased. The deceased obviously cannot take advantage of these future moments, because his body has no future in this world and in this form. That's why the people, who are mourning, are doing it again for their sake - because of "their missed future benefits". Everyone has a built-in concept of themselves, the surrounding people and the world. When the concept of a person concurs with ours, we often communicate more with this
person and we call this phenomenon "friendship". Often, however, people with different concepts from ours, express more directly "their world" to us, and so confrontation occurs. So sometimes we get insulted or criticized. Those who are more labile lose the outline of their "world" and allow the other person to impose his ideas over them, thinking that the problem is in them. When you get offended and criticized, it is not because of you, but because man protects his views, his world, and his beliefs. Otherwise, he will feel unprotected, losing the soil under his feet, losing all the beliefs and ideas on which he relies. People do all this for themselves, driven by the sense of self-preservation. Therefore, we must not take things personally. Using these Principles, the Adept strategically can make someone personally take things in, to trigger a chain reaction, to deliberately deceive the person to accept things personally, making him misinterpret, deceive himself, self-criticize, giving him a sense of shame or guilt, or make him lose his patience and in this way make him rush and make a mistake. It is very important how we will respond at the time of the offense. We must not bear the insult in our heart for more than 10 minutes. At first, until we get used to it, we may need a day, an hour, and so until we get to 10 minutes. After a while, we will not be offended at all. Here comes the role of the Diary for the Principles, where we record all of the Occult Principles and Rules. Let's record what rules we have observed or not, how, when, under what circumstances, to analyze them, to develop a strategy of how to deal with them. Here's what Master Achaak Chimil says: “The second step in winning over the Devil is the Voice. You need to clean your words and thoughts. The Devil does not live in an underground world, but on the tip of your tongue, awaiting to be called. One wrong word, one rough word, one spoken or accepted insult, one wrong opinion, one wrong conclusion, one critic and you lose the Flawlessness. Every word is a holy being and once spoken it starts its own life. If the word is right, it will move you forward all the way. If the word is wrong, it will stumble you, and then you will need to spend time getting back up. Remember with the speaking out of the wrong word you do not start the battle with the Devil. With the wrong word, the battle is over, and you already have lost. You are already under the Devil’s control. The Devil does not speak the words instead of you. You do it on your own. He is the one who gives material for your thoughts. He whispers to you dangerous thoughts, and then you start misinterpreting them. The insult, the opinion, the critic, the conclusions, the rough words – they all start in your mind first. When they conquer your thoughts, they transform in words and get spoken. The wrong words are the most dangerous weapon of the Devil. The most horrifying enemy of humankind. They are dangerous because they are strongly underestimated. Nobody takes them seriously. Nobody sees them as a problem. Nobody pays attention to them. Until is too late. That’s why you must be one with the Flame. In the Flame, there are no thoughts. When a thought appears, determine where it is coming from and where does it lead to, what would be the consequences, and if it is wrongful – erase it. Everything that is happening in the thoughts is also happening somewhere in the Worlds-shadows. The thoughts just like the words are living beings, but they are with hidden nature. The wrong thoughts are like weeds in the garden of your mind. The
weeds need to be removed on time, while still a germ. If you are too late, the weeds will take over your consciousness, and sometimes there is no going back.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Gods: 40 Words of Master Aasim: “If you are insulted and get offended, the Love shall withdraw from you. The insult comes to test you, and you should not accept it in your Home, but just feed it and see it out with Love.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 17 Master Ah Tashib for Opinions and Criticism: “So Akh Tashib said: “Expression of opinion is a transgression of a Sacred Law. Every opinion is a different point of view and therefore is completely wrong. The points of view, the opinions, the critique are born when the Flame casts shadows. Each shadow is a point of view and deceit. If you are one with the Flame, there are no opinions, no shadows, no unnecessary words. You are required to make a Choice. You choose the Flame. The Choice should be deep, unconditional and definitive. Should you accept this agreement, the Path that you had no notion of will come up. Should you choose the Flame, even if you make mistakes, they are going to be lessons in Rightness. So you will never be wrong. Those that walk in Rightness are Flawless in their actions, and those that are Flawless are not swayed by the events in the World. They influence the whole Universe. Only the Flawless can travel the Universe and the Dimension-Worlds. Those that had lost the Truth are doomed in exile.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Word: 41
When insulted, it is very important not to respond with an insult. This is the origin of a chain reaction. The insult is not important. It's important how we take it. “Make it so, that your reaction to dictate the Reality.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 79
Let us say finally, that the smile is the Key to the Path of the Flame. The smile (internal and external) is an occult method. The smile understands, it heals, it omits, it opens doors, itloves, and it creates whole new worlds-states. Here's what the Ancient Masters say about the smile: The Teacher Yellow Spider: “The Language of Flowers is the Language of the quiet smile. Whoever masters this Language, evil shall not recognize him and will wonder at him, but will secretly relish his Deep Fragrance.” Book of the Yellow Spider – The Garden of the Spider: 2 Master Ahaar:
“It was another time. Ahaar was walking with his Disciples through a black desert land. They walked for seventy-three days and reached a precipice, the bottom of which couldn’t be seen. Down there was only black Abyss. In the far distance ahead the end was seen, but there was no bridge to it, and the passage through the Abyss looked impossible. The sky grew dark. A severe tempest set in. Black hurricane started to spin around them, and they were on edge. There was no way back. The Disciples asked Ahaar: “Teacher, what shall we do?” Ahaar replied nothing. Only smiled and set out through the Abyss. The Disciples set out after him, and soon everyone passed through. The smile of the Black Master opens a Path in the Abyss, and the Abyss starts to radiate with pride, cause its Son is visiting it.” Book of the Black Eagle – Ahaar’s Trips in the Reality: 9 Master Razaor: “The Secret of Darkness lies in the smile.” Book of the Legacy - Priesthood: 15 “Time is as relative and chaotic just as it is orderly and organized. Time can be locked in various forms. One of them is the pyramid. Once locked, it can be tampered with. There are lots of ways to tamper with time, and one of them is the smile. The right smile hides the secret of time. To master the smile, it sometimes takes a whole Eternity.” Book of the Legacy - Time: 11 “When you are done Evil, make a Smile. When you are done good, commit Evil – again with a Smile.” Book of the Legacy – Supreme Evil: 6 Master Aasim: “The people asked Aasim, how to defeat old age, and Aasim replied: ”The smile never ages.” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 80 “The smile is the way towards the Rightness. The smile shatters the darkness and leads you to the path of sacrament. The smile is the door towards the Ancient Times. Only when your smile overshadows the sun, you will be able to walk through that door. The smile is a sun on its own, and it should never go down. World in which the sun lights only during the day is a temporary world. If you lose your smile, the dusk will surround you, and you will leave the Rightness.” “This is how Aasim was giving his smile every day until he disappeared, and no one ever saw him again. It was no need for it anyway. He disappeared, but not his smile…” Book of the Chosen Ones - People: 105,106 Master Atafari: “Once, the Disciples asked Atafari, what was the right manner to prepare for the journey. Atafari told them: “You need to suffer so you can focus the Intention and get closer to the Flame. Suffer flawlessly until a smile comes out. Smile until your focus concentrates. Then fall to sleep, and I immediately will come to guide you, and we should go on a journey together.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Death: 18

CHAPTER 8: THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES IN THE SYSTEM OF THE BLACK BROTHERHOOD
The Seven Principles are part of the overall Black Brotherhood System. The system is 1000. Five Pre-Elements, Seven Principles, Nine Sounds, Sixteen Guardians, Twenty-Seven Keys, Seventy-Two Paths, Three hundred and Sixty Formulas, and Five hundred and Four Homes. Thus the Seven Principles are one. But also the Principles are connected with each other, but they themselves are part of another larger whole. “The Temple is present when you build a Hill in the Darkness. The Temple is present when the Flame fills you, and there are no more shadows. The Temple is present when you spin the Three Rings. The Temple is present when you master the Whisper. The Pyramid-Temple is mastery of the Teachings. The ancient pyramid has nine sides1. This Temple is build of Five Elements, on Seven Principles, Nine Sounds, Sixteen Keepers, Twenty-seven Keys, Seventy-two Ways, Three hundred and sixty Formulas and Five hundred and four Houses. They hold the secret to the Teachings. Only when you master them completely, the Supreme Darkness will welcome you, and you shall return.” Book of the Legacy - Temple: 8 Apart from the System of 1000, the Seven Principles are part of the System of the Three Rings - this is System Five, Seven, Nine.
1
. This is a dual tetrahedron pyramid with a common base.
The Seven Principles are the Middle Ring. Here's what Master Alkinor says about the Mid Ring: “Alkinor turned the Mid Ring... B – was the Temple. The Father. D – was the Door. The Key. A Crossroad. M – was the Mother. The Water. L – was the Light. The Sun. The Hilltop. N – was the Rainbow. The River. The Bridge. The Balance. The Knot. P – was the Sky. The Fruit. Completeness. T – was the Plant. The corn. The man. The matter.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 22 “After them, come the Seven Derivatives: B – The Creator of All. The Father that guides you. “B” us the Temple, the Pyramid. “B” is the presence that only appears without being present. D – The Door to another dimension. A Key to an Ancient secret. The point where Paths cross. M – The Mother that gives birth to all. The dogma of the Original Love. The one to reproduce everything in existence and gives it form. L – The Light that reaches even the furthest corners of the galaxy. Light reaches everywhere because of its speed. Even if you stop a single sun ray with your hand, another one will reach you from another angle. N – The bridge between dimensions. The link between two rivers. The sale to measure Rightness. The balance between active and passive. “The Keeper of the Balance is unknown to Light and Dark. Therefore only the one who bears the Flame will pass the bridge.” P – The sky is inexhaustible and unsubstantiated. The sky crowns everything on earth. Reaching the sky is only possible if you leave the earth beneath your feet.
T – The matter that creates man. He awakes. He begins thinking and feeling. He begins moving and making decisions.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Sound: 27 First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word." "B" is the Temple, and in order to enter the Temple, you must be Flawless in the word. "B" is who has mastered his thoughts, words, and actions. Second Principle: " Leave everything that is unnecessary." "D" is the Gate of the City of the Chosen. To pass and go through, you have to leave everything that is unnecessary, you have to leave the world outside. Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." "P" is the Tower from which the world is ruled. When you are chosen to teach the whole human race, you must be like the sun - shining equally for all, not just for some. You must love the human race as the Sun does and, just like it, be fair and see what is happening all over the world. The Tower is where a man transforms into a god. The Tower is for those who serve mankind. Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." "N" is the Bridge. The Bridge is where the water of the river is shallow and can be crossed. The Master knows where it is shallow. The uninitiated will sink from wherever passes. It is important to be able to see the Bridge when it is not yet built. Fifth Principle: “Take position before every single moment.” "M" is the Mother. The Mother is who gives birth and by giving birth, she is always before each of her children. She is who creates and gives birth to every idea and every action. Sixth Principle: “From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey.” "T" is the Proto Man. The Corn. Matter. Death. "T" is the transformation in the world. "T" is the person who can make something unusable, into something useful. The farmer is the one who commands the transformations of the earth. "T" is the beginning of one and the end for another. And also the end for one and the beginning for another. Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." "L" is the Light that penetrates everywhere and reaches the farthest corners of the Galaxy. Light never despairs. Fear cannot penetrate the Light. Light is always inaccessible to fear and doubt. The letter "L" means the one, who has chosen his Path, who has made a deep and unshakable choice. Only when the Choice is final you can move like Light. Let's look at the Seven Principles from another angle. To understand the Principles, we need to ask ourselves the right questions, in order to get the right answers and go forth until the questions and answers are finally gone. We have seven key question words: what, when, how, who, how many, where, why. We also have a zero questioning particle - "if".
"What" is looking to characterize, define. "When" is looking for time. "How" is looking for a way, a method, a state. "Who" and "whom" are linked: providing and receiving. "Why" is looking for the reason, the motive. "How much" is looking for quantity. "Where" looks for the origin, the place. ... "Is it" is a general question. This particle is self-contained. This is the doubt, the dusk, the ambiguity. "If"? That's what we are questioning. Let's see how these question words relate to the Seven Principles. First Principle: "Be Flawless in your Word", answers the question "why." Why should I be Flawless in the Word? To create the Path to the Homeland appears. And why exactly in the Word? Because Word is the ancestor of pure action. The Action that causes Rightness. "Why" is the first question emerging on the Path. The First Question in the First Principle - Why? What's the point of all this? This question is the initial trial and questions the Teaching itself and its meaning. It questions the meaning of the Mission. Why do we do all this? Anyone who finds an answer to this question can proceed to the next Principles. Second Principle: "Leave everything that is unnecessary" answers the question "what". To leave what? Whatever weighs more than bird feathers. (Anubis, the Egyptian god, measured the Souls of the dead in this way, placing the heart of the dead on one side of the scales, and on the other putting a feather, the pure hearts were lighter than the pen.) After answering the question "why" in the First Principle, the question is "what to do"? We have understood the meaning of Mission and the Path of the Flame, and now what should we do to continue? We should leave the unnecessary weight so we can be lighter than a feather. Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun" answers the question "who". Who are you who turn your mind into the Sun? You are the one who gives Light to the Shadows, you are the one who bestows the Sacred Knowledge of the World. You are the Path. Next to "who" stays the counter-question: "whom" or "to whom"? You turn your mind into the Sun to reach whom? To reach those who need to be awakened. To reach the farthest corners of the Universe. To reach those whose minds are wrapped in the shadows of doubt. Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others" answers the question "how much"? Do work. How much work is needed to be done? How much should you work? Until you disappear from the world. Until you become part of the invisible. Here "work" is in the meaning of "searching". "How much" is a misleading word. Trap. It only comes to remind us that there can be no quantities on the Path of the Flame. The measure is "limitless", "inexhaustible". Truth is the unit of measurement of the Universe. The Fourth Principle is closely related to the Third. In the Third, your Intention is directed outward to reach the goal to which the solar ray has to reach. In the Fourth Principle, there is Intention directed inward to your roots. Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment", answers the question "when"? We already know why we follow the Path. We know what to do. We know who we are and who we serve. We know how much work we are waiting for. Here comes the question: when should I act? Now? No. Now it`s too late. Act before "now". Every moment. So it cannot be surprised. The Fifth Principle is the work with time and Eternity. When they are mastered, we enter the Infinity. The Fifth Principle
is embedded in all other Principles. This Principle tells us: "Do not miss the moment to apply the Principles." What does a position mean before every single moment? Means living in the Flame. Means to be unchanged. Being living beyond time. Then there are no limits to you anymore. "Everything" is a potential opportunity. Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey ", answers the question "how"? How does the transformation take place? This Principle implies a journey through Shadows. (See Book of the Legacy - Shadows: 17). The journey is done by replacing one item with another. Remove and add items. Like swimming. Removing an item is when we push our legs, and the addition of items is when we drag our hands. The Sixth Principle resists the Second, as the First resists the Seventh. The First Principle is what "comes out" from us as thoughts, words, and actions. The Seventh Principle is what we accept from the thoughts, words, and actions of others. The Second Principle is to leave everything unnecessary and to get Nothing. Through the Sixth Principle, you do not "leave", but replace. There is no denial of the unnecessary in the Second, but everything is transformed. Seventh Principle: "Do not let the dusk cast a shadow over your smile", answers the question "where"? Do not allow dusk where? In yourself. In your mind. In your heart. In your Soul. The Seventh Principle asks who are you and where are you. Whether you are in the Flame or outside. The Flame is in you, it is in everyone but are you in it? The Seventh Principle is the union with the Flame so the shadows cannot penetrate you. Do not interfere with the opinion of others about you. Whoever has chosen his Mission and is convinced in his own right, does not allow the world to darken his smile. First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word." Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey. " Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the darkness to cast a shadow over your smile." There are other interrelationships between the Principles. First + Second gives Third: "Be without a surplus to turn into the Sun." Second + Third gives Fourth: "Leave your mind to see into the invisible." Third + Fourth gives Fifth: "Work through the sun to be one with the Dawn." Fourth + Fifth gives Sixth: "Who builds a House (takes a stand) in the invisible, takes the essence of life (extracts honey from the flowers). Fifth and Sixth give Seventh: "Whoever can extract honey from flowers (and make bricks from mud and fire from weeds) never sets down (there is a constant smile). The Sixth and Seventh give First: "Whoever smiles when he falls into mud (without a home), cold (weeds without fire) and has nothing to eat (no more honey is extracted from the flower), then he acquires Flawlessness. In other words, the trials fail to break him. There are other models of connections. First leads to Second: "Be Flawless in the Word and you will not say anything superfluous. Second to Third: "When you think and act like a Sun - the mind becomes redundant."
Third to Fourth: "Turn the invisible into the Sun for others. Become Sunrise. Illuminate the way of the human race." Fourth to Fifth: "Works outside of time (before every single moment). Do not build your life based on time. Do not think about the time you work." This is the method of the Occult Student. When he serves the Mission he does not watch his watch. The Adept does not follow the time. The Adept creates the time. Fifth to Sixth: "If you take a position before every single moment, you will see how the bricks have come from the mud, how the fire has come from the wooden twigs, how the honey has been extracted from the flowers. In a few words, you will see the origin of all things. Sixth to Seventh: "Whoever has bricks will build a house (Home) and storms will not break it. Whoever has fire will not die of cold. Whoever has honey will not die of hunger. This way the foundations of life are secured - protection from the elements, food, and warmth. This is what makes the smile - the man has built his life. Now the dusk cannot penetrate his life. " Seventh to First: "Do the Word continuation of your smile." Let's look at the Seven Elements in the Magic Art: First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word." The Adept is the conduit of the Truth. He has cleansed his mind, merged with the Flame and no longer speaks the Truth. The Truth speaks through the Adept. Here the Word is the connection between Adept and the object of the magical act. The Adept has an impeccable attitude towards this object. His intentions are pure and unaltered. Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." The Adept does just what it`s needed, not what he desires. There can be nothing unnecessary in the Adept`s Mission. In the Magic Dimension, this Principle means that the magical act cannot be intended as something of a secondary goal or personal benefit. Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." The Adept is responsible for all mankind and thinks about people as the Sun thinks of the flowers. The Black Adept is a light that reaches everyone. In Magic, this principle means that the magical act is like a sun ray, it arrives at an immeasurable speed where the Intention has directed it. This also means that in order for the magical act to work properly, you must transform your mind into Light, into Intention. Until your mind has become like the Sun, you will never succeed in the Magic Art. Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." The Adept works directly with the Soul of man. He does not work with the mind. No one wants to work with the mind. In a Magical Dimension, this principle means that the Magic act makes changes at the inner level in an invisible way without looking for others` attention. Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." This means that whoever understands the Magic Art, also understands the time. Being ahead of every single moment means you're out of time. You create the time of others. This is the magical act. The Adept makes others` time reality. Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey."- The Black Adept helps a man in his development. The
magical act alters the state of your mind. Changes the world around you. Changes the eyes with which you look at the world. If you dwell in the Magic Art, everything around you changes and looks different. Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." The Adept never forgets his Mission and that it stands above all. The Adept never allows tarnishing Magic Art with evil thoughts or desires. Magic Art is given to him to serve, so the Adept keeps his purity with a smile. Wisdom and childish innocence in one. Sharpness and softness. Application of the Seven Principles in Magic Art. 1.First Principle. Your Word should not be your own but you should let the Truth speak through you. Only then all Souls will listen to you. You do not need to talk about what you think is right. The purpose of this Principle is to become a conductor of the Truth so Truth can speak through you, and your mind to stay silent. When the Truth speaks through you, it is impossible to lie or criticize. But if you walk in the wrongness, why the Truth will choose you and will speak through you? Did you deserve it? Think and act like the Sun - pure and consistent, giving the Knowledge of all, and the Truth will choose you as its conductor. 2. Second Principle. The Magic Act does not recognize unnecessary elements. Everything superfluous in the magical work is like a drowning stone. The exact measure is needed. No more, no less. The Magic Act is like a glass - it has to be filled to the edge. If you pour more to make the effect secured, the only thing that will happen is to overflow the glass and get wet. 3. Third Principle. Magic Art is based on Sacred Principles and Universal Laws that cannot be understood by the human mind or explained in a logical way. Turning your mind into Sun means burning your wrong thoughts, and when you prepare the magic act your mind needs to be clear already. This principle tells us one more thing - to apply Magic Art anywhere in our lives - just as the Sun shines with a light all over the world. 4. Fourth Principle. What is invisible to others? The Soul. Always focus on the Soul of man. Someone may approach you with good words, but his soul to be corrupted. Another can behave with you, but his soul is diminished and need treatment. Leave the human mind, which is always confused. Read among the words of men, look behind their eyes, watch what is before their actions so you can find the Soul. It is not important what the person wants to say, because in most cases people are not aware of themselves. It is important what the Soul wants to say through the man. The Magic Act must be directed to the Soul. 5.Fifth Principle. How can you always be ahead of others? Getting ahead of them? To lead them? Man, beast, and nature to follow your will? This can happen if you are before every moment. How is that possible? When you become what comes from every moment - the Flame. It is said to be here and now. But what is the meaning, if the Flame is not with you (awakened in you)? Then who are you, who is here and now? Do not let yourself to be distracted even for a moment. A moment of inattention and you are already out of the Flame. 6. The Sixth Principle is the principle of transformation. This is part of the Black Adept's duty - the sick to heal, and the healthy one to give a trial to strengthen his will. The hungry to feed, and the satisfied to induce action so they can deserve their food. The weak to show the power of Intention, and the strong - the holiness of the Soul. This is also applicable to the way we transform our harmful habits into good
practices and weaknesses - into strengths. The Sixth Principle describes how Magic Art is applied and also applies regularly. 7. The Seventh Principle is the way we meet our Trials. The creation of a magic act provokes the ease of action. To this ease, we must strive - the natural course of things. But in general, on our overall path, there is always a correcting force, which is the opposite momentum. The Dark of the Shadows, which always follows us and is waiting for us to step outside the Path. We must not allow the difficulty of the path to despair. So we have to train to smile. Both physically and spiritually. But not only seeming but true. Through the smile, we unlock Doors that otherwise remain always locked. That is why we need to train our smile. No altered smile. And to practice a real smile every day and with our smile to express our gratitude - we are alive, we breathe, we smile. The Seven Principles also deal with the Seven Degrees of the Occult Student at the Black Brotherhood School (Book of the Yellow Spider- The School of Black Brotherhood: 1). First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word." This Principle belongs to the Traveler. The Traveler must choose his Way. His Mission. Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." The Hunter is the Traveler who begins to walk the Path. The Hunter must leave everything unnecessary to hunt the Power. Heavy armed Hunter is ineffective. Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." The Warrior who fights for the Truth. He conquers the "territory" of his consciousness, defeating the mind and putting the Truth (the Sun) in its place. The sun's ray is the "sword" of war through which he reaches and conquers the minds of men. Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." The Strategist is the one who organizes the Universe and the world of people. He writes the rules of the game. He outlines the paths. He modulates the Shadow-Worlds. Therefore, he works with what is invisible to others. He sees everything that remains hidden for man. Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." The Healer takes a position before the disease of the mind has come. He acts preventively. The Healer is like a river, but each river has its own Spring. Getting into the river downstream is already too late. Whoever wants to heal completely has to start running before there is a river. To start from the Spring. Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey. "This Principle refers to the Creator. The Creator constantly recreates the Universe and creates new Worlds. He works with all that Is and that Is Not. The Creator is the man who becomes a god. He remains invisible to the world and people, as he is in constant transformation. Only those who extract honey from the flowers will understand the secret of life. Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." The Seeker is the one who lives in the smile. He's here and then he's gone. Through the smile, the Seeker opens doors to other dimensions and disappears without a trace. The Seeker leaves no legacy but just a smile. Whoever seeks the Flame needs nothing more. The smile is his passage to the Homeland. Master Aasim left us a hidden line in the Seven Principles: First Principle: "Be Flawless in the Word." Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun."
Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey. " Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." There is one main and many minor lines here. For example: Be everything. Turn it into invisible. Take a position before the fire. Draw the darkness. Take the bricks, the fire, and the honey. Here is another message: Be, Leave, Turn, Take, Bake-igniteExtract, Do not Allow ... Be The Flame in Yourself. Leave the vanity of the world. Turn to the one you have been chosen to be. Engage with your task, with your Mission. Bake food to feed the hungry. ignite the Flame in the Souls of men. Extract only the purity of the people, extract only the most worthy. Do not allow anything to deviate you from the Path.
EXERCISES: 1. Speak words every day to bring light to people's lives. Words to show the Path. 2. Every day, face something that tempts you, but you have already decided that you will not give it to yourself. 3. Every day spend a few minutes thinking about something good for your Brothers and Sisters. Think about each one of them. Think for at least one quality or feature of the character you like in him or her. 4. Every day works on the study of Magic Arts so that you can better serve the Flame, the Brotherhood, and mankind. Explore new techniques and train the already learned. In addition to the Black Brotherhood's Magic System, educate yourself with other systems. 5. Be accurate every day. Accuracy is a way to get out of time. You will train an hour. Let it be precisely an hour - not 59 minutes. You have a meeting at 13:00. Do not be late even with one minute. Distribute your time. 6. Every day determine what do you want to improve about yourself. What further to learn. You may have chosen to learn languages, arts, crafts. Every day, take time to learn something new. 7. Every day, find something to smile at. If you do not find one, smile at Nothing. The smile is the unspoken secret of the Adept. Every day we have to take time to smile, no matter what happens during the day. The smile is sunshine and must rise every day. Even at first, we do not see meaning in this smile, the meaning gradually appears. Our smile is not meant for others. They do not have to see us when we perform this exercise, but on the other side, they do not interfere if they watching us. It is important for the smile to be real, not just a seeming grimace...
CHAPTER 9: THE SEVEN DOORS
1. Misunderstanding; 2. Pain; 3. Fear; 4. Anger; 5. Compassion; 6. Passion; 7. Preconception.
INTRODUCTORY NOTES ON THE SEVEN DOORS The Seven Doors are a prerequisite for distortion from Rightness and entry into the Shadows. In this way, we have a distortion of the Ancient Image, distortion of the Seven Principles. The Seven Principles are when the Intention is awakened. The Seven Doors happen when the mind is activated. Each "Door" represents two states and the transition from one to the other. The transition from one room (state) to another, passing through the Door. In other words, this is a method of transforming random emotions.
1.
Misunderstanding. A Door to: Search for Truth by
Acceptance. No rejection. Everything that surrounds us and happens to us in life is an opportunity to understand and improve ourselves. When we understand a phenomenon, we gain control over it, and it becomes part of our resources. We have comprehension, pieces of the jigsaw, and thus we get a clearer picture of the world and our place in it. Understanding is a Path to Wisdom. It gives us freedom. In order to understand what is happening to us, we should not be in a hurry making conclusions and opinions. We need to see what is obvious, which is visible to the naked eye and try to look behind it. Let's see what others are missing. To do this, we must be patient. When we move up and do not understand something, it becomes our enemy. If we do not understand most of the phenomenon around us, we are surrounded by enemies and this takes away our freedom. So we lose our strength, smiles are rarely appearing on our faces. We become more closed inside us and ignore most of the world around us. Incomprehension awakens internal fear in us. Fear of the unknown. It creates a desire to cause pain. Incomprehension makes us lose a clear sense of reality, its boundaries, and shape. That's why we often lose reality by mistake. All this comes from misunderstanding. The misunderstanding comes from the attempts of a person to compare everything with his already accumulated experience, which is limited, compare to Universal. In
the absence of touch with our already accumulated knowledge, we have nothing but to reject and deny any attempts to re-enroll. “Many of you will read this Book and accept some things, reject others, and fiercely criticize. This would mean that those people have opened just a bunch of paper and read the material book, without reaching the Book. It happens so because they compare it to their own already established view of life, and their reading is prejudiced, instead of surveying the Book in its own light. There’s no need to accept or reject it, my friend. Just leave it alone to speak for itself. There is a copy of this Book in every one of you. The thing you’re holding now is just for recollection.” Book for the Book: 1 Here we can assume that any new knowledge is a kind of "book," though not in the literal sense. We can understand if we simply accept every new knowledge in ourselves without having to deny it or consent to it. Once we have accepted the new knowledge as a new potential opportunity, we will be able to study, test and apply it, using neutral behavior towards it throughout the learning process. If we can be unprejudiced, we will be able to look at every new "book" in its own light, and we will be able to derive the relevant knowledge for us. Conversely, if we reject everything that does not correspond to the things we know (or we think we know), we limit and miss a number of possibilities. There is another danger - if we automatically agree with everything, just because it corresponds to our already accumulated knowledge. So we miss seeing the details, seeing the new message. The method of overcoming misunderstanding lies in the constant quest for Truth. Whoever constantly seeks, perceives everything he touches as an opportunity that can be realized. He begins to live in a search. Searching itself is more important than finding. Understanding is part of the path to achieving Awareness. Looking for Achievement of Awareness, we should be open. We can not want to invite Conscience, but keep the door closed. Every misunderstanding is like a hungry stranger who knocked on the door of our home, and we have not opened him and we have not invited him. This stranger becomes our enemy and remains enemy as long as we do not invite him to our house so we can get to know him. The fact that we invite an idea to our home for dinner does not necessarily mean that we will let this idea spend the night with us. If we look closely at the misunderstanding, we will find that behind this enemy stands another - the mind. Our mind is the one who still cannot understand even the obvious. It is the mind that always wants to prove and reject everything unknown. It is important to master the mind so it can not prevent it from awakening Awareness. How does this mastery take place? The mind needs to argue and reject and, at the same time, to accept unconditionally what is already familiar. We are asked not to reject anything, nor to agree. We can accept all options as a potential opportunity and thus obtain an inexhaustible source of ideas and scenarios. To act without limitations and prejudices. Whoever has mind blurred by the mind can never understand Strategic Art or Magic Art. Occult rule: "Take everything as a potential opportunity without accepting or rejecting it." Another trap. One that we can fall into is a hasty decision. That is where our mind is pushing - to accept one, but reject another. This is already a decision. We do not always have to make a decision quickly, and sometimes we do not even have to make
any decision at all. However, the mind can not feed itself this way, and it is quick to push us into the abyss. So do not be in a hurry to make decisions. Always seek not only to know but also to understand. Do not rush to determine what is good and what - not. Try to understand the essence of things. Exercise: Try to understand every person not from your own but from his point of view. Do not rush to define him, just systematically note all his qualities - both positive and negative. Think about how to help him transform his negative qualities into positive ones. To overcome his bad habits, a person needs a goal. Clear target. Think about what goal you should give him. Every day think about this person and his positive qualities. This is how you will find the Key of your personal power.
2. Pain / A Door to: Lightness
There is no pain in the Flame. Pain is the product of one of our worst enemies - the mind. It creates the pain to control us. To get rid of the influence of the mind, we need to understand how pain works. Everything that is out of the Flame cannot be Real, though it is part of our reality. All mind products are illusory.
PHYSICAL PAIN. If we have to do surgery without anesthesia, we will probably experience severe pain, we will not be able to sit back and sit in one place and the surgeon will not be able to do the job. Applying anesthesia, the mind is squeezed and the surgeon can perform interventions on our body and pain will not exist because the mind is absent. Without the mind in action, there is no physical pain. Physical pain is often a cause of fear. The problem is that most people react in the way they copy from others. The human body can be very durable, depending on the will of man. Most people have the mind of "victims," and by reflex, they seek the empathy of others. For example, if you fall and hit yourself or get scared, you feel obliged to report it with a cry. Here, an equivalent must be sought in the animal world - its representatives are notifying the other animals in their group or family with a sound signal for danger. It is this "sound signal" that gives you a sense of "pain". If in such a case, we just pause and wait for the pain, it will only cover our body, but not our mind, and we will resist. Of course, there is a case with unpleasant injuries that are lasting and in this case, we must accept them as something we need to learn, a burden that we must learn to bear. So the pain is overcome most effectively by the way of thinking of a "predator" who knows that whether there are pain and injuries, he should hunt to survive. The way of thinking of the "victim" in this case is completely wrong. Exercise: Look at the candle flame for several minutes, initially focusing on the brightest part of the flame, then to its peak where it disappears again in the Hidden from wherever it came. Exercising in this direction, the calling of the image of the Flame will be by reflex. This helps to change consciousness and merge with the
Nothingness that has no pain. The pain is in the mind. Exercise: If you hit or injure yourself, keep calm and do not make a sound, cry, scream or any signal showing others that you have hurt yourself. So you do not accept the pain in your mind and keep your Awakeness. Once that moment has passed, take care of your injury if necessary, but never complain. Avoid sharing with others that you got hurt. Keep this for yourself. Exercise: Put your hand in the hot water (so that your natural reaction is to pull your hand abruptly back but not so hot as to cause lasting injuries) and hold it in it despite your primary impulse to move it. After a few seconds, your hand will get used to it and you will no longer feel pain. The pain is under your control as long as you know how to manipulate it. This will be your advantage - that most people succumb to their primal impulses, and you have overcome them and outgrow them. This gives you greater self-control and greater personal strength.
EMOTIONAL PAIN.
Methods of dealing with emotional pain are similar like the one dealing with physical pain. Everyone is looking for happiness and satisfaction, but everyone has an internal affinity for self-harm. Most people have no understanding of the world around them, accepting unfamiliar things in themselves, and creating illusions that they possess them by incorporating a part of themselves. But because they do not know the nature of the things around them, they lose them, thus departing what they have put into the subject. The remaining gaps (vacuum) in the human emotional body we call pain. Pain comes as a product from this gap. So do not put any unnecessary emotions into strange things you have not yet understood. First, you are trying to understand, then what you have understood will join you. Pain is not something to suppress or deny. It can only be a consequence of misunderstanding and something that we need to go through our development process. Pain must be transformed. So we use it as a potential force that just transforms into what we want. It is not an enemy. People are hostile to it because they do not know its essence. Happiness, joy, and tranquility are the warm room that puts us to sleep, and in the morning we wake up tired and exhausted. Pain is the cold that keeps us awake and ready. Cold is not dangerous for us if we know how to work with it. The very characteristic of the pain is that it "chokes" the person, reduces his movements and his desire for movement. It makes him close in himself. Unconquered, the pain leads to fear and/or anger. The solution is to get out of this state with action - harnessing the energy of pain taken in purposeful movement. This will give us enormous momentum. When the pain comes, do not shrink in yourself, but go forward and unfurl. Thus, in many cases, pain becomes a strong motivation that stimulates us in our quests and endeavors. Black Eagle: “The heat exhausts you and lulls you to sleep and makes you a victim of the beasts. The cold keeps you always awake and always wary. Sun blinds you, so at night you do not see in the dark. Sun prevents you develop the Eye. Seeing during the day is not much of an effort itself. It is harder to learn to see at night. Therefore only
Darkness can develop the Eye. During the day you see only distorted reflections of light that your senses take for granted. You seek but do not find, and in Darkness you have everything.” Book of the Veiled Elder - Initiation: 11 Everything rests on the extent to which we want to accept the pain as something actually existing. Pain is dependent on the mind, and as long as we do not subdue the mind of our Intention, we will always be slaves who follow the commands of our abuser. What really provokes emotional pain is the irreconcilability that we do not realize our desires. In this way, pain and fear are inextricably linked. Both are dependent on desires. And desires are dictated by the mind. The mind is a beast that continually eats and is always hungry. It always wants something from you, and when you do not give it, the mind creates a feeling of guilt or make you feel ashamed of yourself. The mind constantly wants to fulfill its wishes. And they, for the most part, are all unnecessary (see Second Principle: Leave everything unnecessary).
WHEN WE CAUSE PAIN. The Occult Student has made an agreement with himself not to hurt living creatures, whether they are humans, animals (our little brothers) or plants (our silent brothers). The Adept cannot be tempted to hurt other beings and cause them pain. In our relationship with people, we can not afford to hurt even one person. If we accept this, we can obtain a prohibition on the use of the Power, and Energy will stop flowing through us, which can lead to the debt of karma, the accumulation of karma, resulting in illnesses or other discomforts. Sometimes we could have a complication and accumulate karma if we just have thoughts about how to hurt someone. Worse still happens when we deliberately cause pain and harm to others. So we block the flow of Energy in us and lose light. We put barriers on the energy path itself and this gives negative results of a different nature. “The third Mirror said: “You killed the animals on their territory, cut down the forests, polluted the air, the rivers, broke the land to pieces and now ask why there are wars. The peoples of animals, forests, clouds, winds, rivers, and stones are very discontented. You people, without being aware, caused the wars by destroying peoples, for which you know nothing. You will pay dearly with blood, mind, heart, and Soul for every little rock, for every breath of air, for every drop of animals’ blood.” Book of the Chosen Ones - Visions: 25 In this connection, everything that is part of the process of causing pain to animals and plants is the accumulation of karma. Killing animals, violence against animals, eating animal meat, using animal skin. Cutting forests, cutting flowers, polluting nature with rubbish. All this has consequences for both the world and all the people that inhabit it, as well as for ourselves at the inner level.
VIOLENCE NOWADAYS: We are at the dawn of the Sixth Solar Race. A new era requiring certain changes. Time
of transformation. Time for everyone to make a choice. Of course, the transformation is a process and it does not happen in a few days or even a few years. The time has come to abandon the last era of the Fifth Solar Race - the Iron Age. An era of brutality and violence. An era of wars and chaos. This era is at its very end and will pass into the Sixth Epoch - Epoch where the spirit will dominate the mind. In this time of change, we will have to update our views on many phenomena in our life. Such as our attitude to weapons and their use and martial arts. Martial arts are no longer what they were decades ago. Martial arts have fulfilled their role - they have emerged in the copper era - an era preceding the Iron Age, in which war conflicts and the establishment of borders between human lands have begun. Martial arts were born in Ancient Egypt and ancient Greece and evolved into Ancient China. Martial arts, then, were military arts (of which, of course, the hand-to-hand combat occupied a very modest place). In the evolution of warfare and the use of gunpowder, the martial arts must give way first. Nowadays martial arts become recreational sports. Many traditional martial arts teachers are starting to argue that martial arts already have a different role and should not seek to harm others but rather to train to improve health. After 20 years of practicing martial arts and teaching them, it's hard not to notice the change in attitudes of people studying martial arts. Studying a fighting style suggests its possible use, which is related to violence. Some people naively believe that martial arts can serve as self-defense. These are unfortunately very isolated cases and are more an exception than a rule. Very often even prepared fighters are losing a fight against armed or more numerous attackers. Only hate and bitter taste remain in the mouth (if we survive, of course). The best martial art nowadays remains a good tactic of anticipating, preventing, and avoiding any conflicts. This at the same time protects ourselves physically, and we also eliminate the possibility of hurting others and thus building up karma. It is an Internal Martial Art, for which it will have a special place in one of the following books. Here we will briefly say that it is much better for people to change their visions of martial arts, and instead of seeking their destructive side, seeking the healing complexes of exercises and other healing practices so closely associated with traditional martial arts. As far as armed conflicts are concerned, we can say that only in the last century have we witnessed two World Wars and many other wars, which only shows that man not only does not tend to wake up but even the opposite - he has a propensity for destruction and self-destruction. Nowadays, most of the military actions are taken not to help a nation to survive but to continue its consumer lifestyle and acquire luxury goods while other people on the planet die because they have no drinking water. It is time for this way of thinking to change. This change of mind depends on the existence of man. In the future, wars and armed conflicts will not be the main problem for humanity at all. The depletion of natural resources of paramount importance and climate change based on human ignorance and newly born diseases of uncertain origin will be the biggest cause of mortality. The only way to overcome these problems will be for all people to unite by stopping the use of violence on each other and acting as one. If they do not wish to do so, they will be forced by nature itself in ways much more brutal than any wars. Here we come to the point where we understand that every person is extremely important to the whole and must adequately help the other ecumenical transition from one epoch to another. To do this, one has to stop himself self-inflicting a sense of guilt for his failures, and through destructive behavior: to stop poisoning drugs, harmful foods of doubtful origin and any other harmful substances to his health. It is time to move from the modern slogan: "Now it`s my time, I live once " and get to the wiser:
"Let me think about my health because besides myself I have to think how to help others. For this purpose, I have to be in a position to help, because only together we will be preserved as a human species by common effort. "
TRANSFORMATION OF PAIN: Pain should be transformed into Lightness. What is Lightness? This is to walk the Path Flawlessly and to overcome the trials with Lightness. What makes you heavy? Negative karma. What makes you light - the Actions in the Rightness. What then is the pain? Not accepting Lightness. Accepting and causing pain is a burden attached to us. By continuing to treat this way, we can no longer move and become the victim of our own illusions. To transform the pain into Lightness, we need to understand how this process works. Pain is a state that the mind itself causes but is unable to be kept long. This is because in most cases, if the pain persists for too long, consciousness can understand its illusory origin (as well as the exercise in which we put our hand in hot water) and that it is merely a creation of the mind and is not real. It is just a signal that the mind sends us. Here comes the next part that when a person feels pain, he loses a sense of power. There are two scenarios: In the first, someone is hurt and wants to return the pain back, as a basic self-defense reflex. If he cannot hurt his aggressor, he begins to look for another victim and draws bloody causes, just looking to hurt whoever. The second scenario is that when one sees no control over others and seeks a sense of power, even without being hurt, he seeks objects that can hurt and regain a sense of power. Following the line of the first scenarios, we should not allow ourselves to be part of a chain reaction. If we receive pain, we need to be able to look in depth. Someone wanted to harm us purposefully or unintentionally. Even if this individual had this intention, it does not mean that the pain we experience is caused by him. Pain is the way our mind reacts to the actions of others. There is no pain until we create it. Example: A group of children plays on a playground. There comes another child who wants to join them but they refuse him. The child feels bad about being rejected. But it was no pain caused to him by others. They just have not accepted him and that`s it. The mind of the child has created the pain because he has received something different from what he expected and could not realize his desire. The group of children has had their motives not to accept it, and these motives have not been personal. Here comes the fear of not being rejected, the fear of not realizing the desires. In order to break the line of destructive behavior, burdened with guilt, because we have been rejected or found someone to take our anger with, we can just stop and look at what's really going on. There is no pain. Our mind has provoked it. When we calm our minds, we will see clearly that we are not to blame, because some people like us and others do not want us in a particular environment. We will see that everyone has their motivation to make the decisions they take and they do it for themselves, not for us. If we follow the second scenario in which a person initiates violence in order to cause pain to be able to feed on the sense of control and power, we must look carefully and see where control really is. Control is in our own Infinity. Only then we have control. If we are willing to cause pain just to feel strong and gain a sense of control. If we hurt people, just to feel strong is an illusion of control and strength. Thus, we just create the impulse for a chain reaction and sooner or later this wave returns to us, directly or indirectly. Control does not come with the application of force, but with its restraint.
"The Warrior always carries the Sword with himself, but never unsheathes it. The mastery of the Warrior is hidden in his not drawing the Sword. Especially with this Ability does the Warrior win all Battles." Book of the Yellow Spider - The School of the Black Brotherhood: 35 Control comes when force is applied in Rightness. Applied through the Seven Principles. Therefore, when we are hurt and experiencing "pain," let us acquire Awareness and see that we have just become an object of interest to someone else's mind, and "pain" is the way our mind perceives this attitude. At a deeper level, the man is helpless against us. He does not really know what he is doing. He has no control over his mind, and he works out of his mind. If we do not have Awareness, we can think that the man is an aggressor against us, when his Soul actually asks for help and seeks a way to attract our attention. Instead of influencing the product of the human mind, we can seek contact with his Soul. Causing pain cannot be an end in itself. There is always a deeper reason. When someone seems to hurt us, let's think about what he really wants? Does he want anything of us at all, or is it just we've crossed his way? If we find what he really wants, and if we find a way to offer it to him, or at least to show him the way to achieve it, the person in front of us will undergo a transformation. The search of his soul will be satisfied. To break his desire for aggression, we need to find out what the Soul wants. When the Soul suffers, it tries to explain it, but because man is not conscious of communicating directly with the Soul, the latter must deliver the message to the mind, and the mind passes it on to man. The problem is that the mind often interprets the message in its own way and gets the "broken phone" effect. Exercise: Always look for the cause behind the events. Even when he discovers one reason, do not stop there, but keep looking for other hidden reasons. This will give you a sense of the origin of the hidden things.
PAIN AND THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES First Principle: "Be Flawless in your Words. " The First Principle carries the message of being extremely careful in everything that comes from us - thoughts, words, emotions. Sometimes even our unspoken thoughts can harm someone. That is why the Adept keeps a silent post in search of Flawlessness. He watches over every word he utters and utters it only if it is imperative. Claptrap leads to poor spiritual hygiene, and soon impurity is projected into our lives, and through our words, we spread this infection, which is perceived as pain. People who are infected with it do not know how they can cure, their minds are activated, and they just carry on this infection to other people. Occult rule: "Keep silent in the obvious, and observe in the hidden." Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." Leave everything that deviates you from the Path of the Flame. Pain is the method your mind uses to attract your attention. If you feel a burden and constantly disbelieve, be careful. You got trapped. Pain is one of the appeals of the mind to deviate from your path to concentrate on perishable or unreal things. If there is no Lightness, stay away. Lightness means everything happens naturally. There is nothing forcible. There may be difficulties, trials, and obstacles, but they must be natural. If you do not feel in the right place at the right time or if you feel you have to be elsewhere or do something different from what you do, stop. Leave
everything that takes away your Lightness. Occult rule: "Take only what is necessary to make your life natural." Third Principle: "Turn your mind into a Sun." It is your mind that creates feelings of pain, fear, uncertainty. Without the mind, there is a state of Blindness that can be filled with absolutely everything. Be the Choice itself. You are the Sun, who decides whether to shine or not. You choose whether to accept the "invitation" for pain or not. Turning your mind into the Sun, in the context of the subject of pain, means removing the limits of your consciousness and looking from another angle. The correct question would be, not how to accept the pain, whether you accept it or not, but whether is there really a pain? Being a Sun means to make a decision in what direction you will shine. It means illuminating the "problem" to see it clearly. Asking the right question. Most people's problems arise from the fact that they accept a number of phenomena for granted, and on the basis of this, often mistaken knowledge, they make mistaken questions and from that, they receive erroneous answers. There is another interpretation: Turn your mind into the Flame. Translated, this means that in a situation of choice we should turn to what is absolute and immutable. Occult rule: "When you are given to choose between two, always choose the third one that is not apparently available. Always choose only the Flame and nothing else. " Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." Working with what is invisible to others, in the context of the theme of pain means to seek what lies behind the pain. Someone has told you an offensive word that has affected you. But was the man against you just a conductor? Who actually has said the word - the man or a being that temporarily possessed his mind? Why have you got moved exactly by that word? Is this word close to reality? Do you feel hurt because someone else has a wrong opinion about you? Or does the word describe the reality you do not want to accept, and it annoys you that other people see your weaknesses? When you feel that something has hurt you - the words or actions of someone, do not concentrate on the "pain" but see what's behind it. Occult rule: "Look for the root cause and whatever you find, do not stop searching." Fifth Principle: "Take a position before every single moment." You are currently experiencing pain. Physical or emotional. You think this is the present. But that is not the case. This is the present you have chosen to accept. And what was before that moment of pain? Point your attention before the moment of pain and see the reasons why it has occurred. The way it happened. Concentrate at this point before the pain and live in it. Then you will ask yourself what is ultimately real - the moment before the pain or moment of pain itself? If you can be in both states, is not this a matter of choice? Is the pain real? Can it last all the time? When you learn to concentrate in the moment of pain, you have the choice. Then the pain never happens because you chose the moment before it and the pain cannot be realized. Example: If, in general, we are upset and annoyed on a particular subject - religious or political - we are with the flow of the river and every time someone speaks on a political issue and we disagree with his opinion, that deeply affects us and we begin looking for a confrontation. If we make the choice to keep ourselves calm, no matter if someone can say something unpleasant to us, and we make an agreement to stay at that moment, we begin to have another look at the notion of pain. Someone says something on a political subject, which is completely contrary to our views, but instead of fighting, getting angry, making us uncomfortable, we keep ourselves calm and stay in a "position before every single moment" and so we understand that the man against us just needs to pour out his energy somewhere. It's just his opinion and we do not need to accept or comment on it or to disprove or challenge it in any way. We just have to listen to the
man against us. Though seemingly his words addressed to us, perhaps even with a clear aim to irritate us within himself, he is not at all interested in us, but simply wants to satisfy the needs of his mind - the need to argue and so self-assured in his own eyes, the need to be right, to receive approval ... Occult rule: "When there is excitement in the sea, do not stand near the shore where the waves are strongest, and enter the sea where it is calm and the waves have not yet formed. " Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. Of the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract honey." Sometimes so-called pain can be very useful and play a role of initiating power. Impulse, which we can transform into something constructive. This means that if we are "hurt", we can choose not to take the offense and perceive it as pain. We can just assume that someone or something has awakened in us a "reaction" that has given us an incentive to "move". The pace of Action. Here again, we are given the right to choose how to use force and where to lead it. Someone can use this impulse to create a new creation that will help people. Another will create something degrading. But in both cases, man has chosen not to accept the bitter taste of pain in himself, but to transform it into action. "Pain" is static. It nestles in us and drops root. It's like reading a book and getting to the chapter where your favorite character dies, but instead of reading the book forward, you read again and again the same chapter. To overcome pain, you need to take action. Targeted action. Continue reading the book. This is how transformation happens - through change. Even if you do not have a clear direction yet, it is better to move forward than to stay in the same place. Occult rule: When the fruit you eat turns out to be spoiled, stop the first bite, eat it no more, but look for another fruit. " Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." Follow your goals. Do not allow a painful feeling to stop you or deviate from your path. Socalled pain plays the role of a barrier that we need to stop on our way. This may slow our development significantly. When we realize the illusion of pain, the barrier rises and we can continue our path. Occult Rule: "When you set a clear goal, do not take anything that deviates from it."
3. Fear/ A Door to: Clarity Overview. When we have Awareness, we clearly see the situations in which we fall, and from there the events that follow, and we move forward with a sure step. When Awareness is absent, the present moment is unclear, and from there, our future becomes obscured. We have nothing else but to guess and guess. This gives us an internal fear that eat us from inside. From then on, our consciousness is biased, and there is no salvation. Fear has conquered us. Fear besides being misunderstood comes as a consequence of experienced pain and the fear of its re-occurrence. Therefore, if we want to master fear, we must first achieve understanding and control of pain. The problem of fear stems also from the fact that we hide in ourselves many unknown elements and often even we surprise ourselves. In this regard, we can draw a similar example with the weight of a fighter. The massive weight can give him a big advantage, but only if every muscle is mastered and trained. Otherwise, his heavyweight will be a hindrance that makes him slower and more cumbersome.
Everyone is afraid of the unknown. And the more unknown in an individual's life, the more his internal fear grows. Fear is a strong, insidious and large-scale disease. It makes people weak and easy to manipulate. The human habit is expected to increase the impact of the disease. Fear is always related to the future that is unknown to us. The remedy for this disease is always to stay in the present moment. Here the Fifth Principle comes to your attention (Take position before every single moment.) Fear, like pain, is not Reality, but a temporary actuality created by the mind. Fear is the transfer of all possible negative scenarios for the development of a given scenario. The mind tells us what could happen and how bad it can be for us. This is an extreme misconception. Nothing can happen in the future. Everything is happening right now and is happening simultaneously in all Shadow-World-states. We do not cause anything to happen. It's already happening. Now. It is up to us to choose precisely these scenarios, to choose to live it, and then it comes to life and becomes our present. That is why we have to force the mind to stop expecting. Expectation shifts the attention to an illusory future moment, and so the consciousness is conceived for the present. Awakeness does not develop in the future, but in the present.
Fear and the unknown. Fear is always ignorance. Ignorance is the unknown. What is known we do not afraid it is obvious and we can analyze it. This is where the fear of the dark comes - the fear from the unknown. How can we overcome the fear of the unknown? By concentrating on what we know. The unknown awakens fear that something new can happen. This is an expected change. If we concentrate on the unchangeable, then fear can not slip. What does not change and doesn`t need change? The Flame. There is no fear and there is nothing unknown for the Adepts of the Flame. The Adept realizes the inexhaustible variants that are hidden in Darkness but always chooses the Flame. Every day, every hour, he chooses the Flame. The Adept has nothing else. He has only the Flame and it brings fullness to his whole life. When darkness emerges when the fear of the unknown appears, the Adept concentrates on the familiar - the Flame. Whoever realizes deeply his personal mission as Adept, awakens an irresistible Intention, and fear runs out from him. Fear can always occur even among the Adepts, but unlike ordinary people, the Adept simply chooses not to accept fear or just transform it. So if you feel fear, concentrate on what is truly certain. Fear is a shadowy split in our consciousness, and it scares us that we do not know what's there. This corresponds to the Seventh Principle (Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile.) We must not allow unexplored nooks in our minds. The point is that we often know about these problematic sections, but we never want to study them, but just circumvent them with caution. Let's start from the easiest part. Fears that have or can have material dimensions. Fear of spiders, fear of the dark, fear of the hights …
Fear of manifested phenomena. As far as the external fear is concerned, we must start with our individual work. Mastering our fears gives us the incentive and the urge to deal with our inner fears. The external fear is of a material nature, but it is not at the moment, as some people would have thought. Even if we are afraid of the dog that stands before us and barks at the
present moment, the fear is what the dog can do next. With other words - the near future. We can overcome the fear of a near future with Awakeness and the deeper fear of the distant unknown future through Awareness. Sometimes it happens that we have put aside our awakening by looking at either the past or the future, losing the moment. So sometimes we are surprised by the events, whether in material or emotional terms. In other cases, fear and uncertainty are in us for the distant future. This includes the mind and encourages us to guess and guess and we alter the thread of our lives. External fear is trying to break your balance by putting you in front of something unknown or what you did not expect, especially at a given time, in a given way. Fear tries to stifle you and restrict your movements or make you hurry, thus making a mistake in your movement. Fear makes you close your eyes and so expect the unknown. Everyone is afraid of what he does not know. So open your eyes to get to know the unknown. Fear is mastered by opening your mind, not by closing it. You also learn to accept things as they are - no guess, no hope, no worries. The eye simply has to accept reality and make its plans in the light of what has been seen.
Fear and Desires. The confused mind is the root of fear. The mind eats desires. Fear comes from the fact that your desire may not come true. This is the fear of the failure of something planned. The desires and fears are common that both are aimed at the unreal future. When you get rid of your desires and replace them with a clear purpose, to which you have thrown in a flawless way, fear is melting. That is why there is no fear in the Adept`s heart. The Adept serves the Flame and the Mission has filled his life. The Adept knows that Mission is impossible, and that is precisely its hidden meaning. There is no desire, no disappointments, no fear - only the Path of the Flame. You are not what you think. You are not what you want. You are not what you are afraid of. You are much more. You have the original freedom of Choice. In most cases, people do not follow the nature of things, but they still want what they do not, thinking that they will find happiness. Your house, your car, your money, even your friends and relatives are an illusion. You think you have something, but you do not really own any of those listed above. The only thing you have is what you can keep during a powerful hurricane - the Flame within yourself. Some of these people who are looking for happiness never achieve their desires. Then, come the companions of the mind - shame and guilt. Guilty of failing to get the food that the mind has ordered. Shame on your own "failure". That's exactly one of the most dangerous tricks of the mind - it prevents you from concentrating on yourself, so you do not see what's going on around you. You think everything in this world revolves around you and you become self-centered. This is how you shift the center of your life, shifting your priorities. Only the Flame can be the real center of your life, and when you establish the Flame in the first place, the world around you is stacked. No longer ambitious - the ambition is when you want something you do not have. And you have no ambitions because you already have Fullness and you have everything you need. Nothing you miss. There is no more sadness or happiness. There are a hidden saturation and completeness that makes sense of your whole life, in a way you did not suppose it was possible. Apart from those who fail to fulfill their desires, there are those who are determined to do everything they can to succeed. They finally achieve their desires (dreams), but they
are not happy. In their strong ambitions, they have concentrated so much on their wishes that they have missed many essential things along the way. The life of this kind of people is a series of successes and failures. There is no Balance. Happiness alternates with sorrow, but it never has Fullness.
The fear of being different and not being rejected. If the fear of failing desires is an internal conflict in ourselves. This is the fear of being rejected by others. This means basing our lives on the opinions of other people. Some people do not accept us, but even when they are gone, we are still not accepted. That is why many people are constantly looking to be part of a group to enjoy themselves, fearing that if they spend more time with themselves alone, they will have nothing to say. Since we cannot accept the possibility of staying alone with ourselves, the only thing left to us is to hope for others to accept us. But if the others will accept us, it does not matter. More importantly, we accept ourselves. It is only essential that the Flame always accepts us and gives us the Fullness. Formula: "No fear and no doubt." Tasks: 1. Make a list of the material things you are afraid of. Begin to open your eyes to each of them. Study in details each fear. Find out where it comes from, where the fear originates. 2. Make a list of your emotional fears. Open their eyes for them and see their origin. When you know where something comes from, you can easily trace its trajectory and avoid the collision with it. Exercises: 1. Make the exercise with the contemplation of the candle flame so you do not think. Immerse in the flame until every thought disappears. Thinking leads to fear. If, while contemplating the candle flame, you lose a sense of time and space, then you are on the right path to accomplishing the task. 2. Stand in front of the mirror and start smiling. You could also watch the sun and smile. If there is no sun or mirror, just ... just smile. Do not underestimate this exercise. In no matter how difficult it could be sometimes, do not forget to smile. Always smile. After some practice, you will understand the mechanism of the exercise.
4.Anger/A Door to: Pure Power for protection of all people. Overview. Anger means reaction. Every reaction that is an act, there is also another act which is counter-reaction. There is something to be your counteraction, it engages your attention and you can not concentrate. So you lose energy and you cannot be a conductor of the Power. So whatever happens around you - just accept it as it is. Take it without reacting. Sometimes power is not in doing but in taking no action. Every person has his inner center and "circle" of life around him. We are the very center and if we move so does the "circle" - it moves with us, like a halo. Anger, in a
conditional sense, is the force that disturbs our internal balance and shifts our center, and the "circle" cannot adapt quickly enough to the new position. So for a moment, we lose control and judgment. Often, anger makes us move our center and sometimes the consequences are undesirable and unforeseen. This is done in two main ways. The first is when we were surprised by something we did not expect and/or the events had developed too quickly. Thus, we have accepted things personally and hastened to catch up with what happened. This makes too many necessary errors. This is the sudden anger as a reaction. The second option is when we were injured and our pain suppressed and we did not have the opportunity to act or we lacked the initiative for it. It is also possible to feel the fear of resuscitation. So anger rises slowly until the moment when it can not be stored and we have to get rid of it. The anger can also be manifested in provocation. Often an anchor chain reaction occurs. A violent person causes pain and fear to another in a weaker position and this victim accumulates internal anger at himself and at one point he pour the anger to a third individual. Anger can be a major obstacle if there is no control over it. But it can also be a potential force if it is mastered and properly transformed. Anger is aggression. And aggression is power. Power is something neutral. When it is not controlled it has a devastating nature. If transformed, it has a universal character. It can also be constructive. Anger is like a sea wave. You have to grab it before it reaches its top and reworking it. If it has already risen, you lose control and initiative. Anger is poured most often through words and actions. So if you missed the moment to catch the wave and don`t want unpredictable things to happen, you should parry rising anger with "silence" and "immobility". You will soon realize that anger is beginning to pass away. This is more about the unexpected attacks of anger. If we accumulate anger gradually, then we have better control and application options for our purposes. This could be done by identifying the source that provokes the anger in our mind and we try to look at it from its own perspective. Where there is Awareness, anger does not appear. Anger is often more dangerous, not for those on whom it is applied, but for those who apply it. Sometimes the Adept can provoke an outburst of somebody's anger by taking him out of control, and his power is turned against him. This is a good tactic for people who are very passive and lack energy. For such people, the Adept can provoke anger, which then transforms into constructive action. For this purpose the Adept provokes man to accept things personally, to lose patience. It affects him with something he cares for. He attacks it gently so that the sense of self-preservation arises in him. Of course, from a strategic point of view, the Adept does not allow other to see that provocation comes from him. For this purpose, he can create an illusion that incitements come from a third person. Thus the man directs his anger to the impious provocateur. This allows Adept to stand lightly and steer the situation.
Anger and Desires Anger is the product of the mind. When the mind can not understand a certain situation, it gives us indications that something is wrong. The mind has made a plan of what should happen and has set goals (aspirations and ambitions), and whenever something else happens, the mind needs a period of time to adapt to the new circumstances. This is the anger. Even if one realizes that his anger will not change anything, he often can not control it because he is guided by the mind. When are we angry? When it does not happen, what we want. When we can not achieve our desires. The Adept has no
unnecessary desires and ambitions. He serves the Flame, the Brotherhood, and mankind. He places them above his personal interests. The Adept has a Path that is infinite. The Adept has no expectations on this path-only ministry. The Adept follows the Principles, and then there are no surprises. Whoever serves the Flame cannot be surprised, and whatever happens is always part of his Path. When you have unreasonable desires and ambitions, things often happen that are not part of your path but are part of someone else's path. On the Path of the Flame, everything is exactly what it should be. The Adept has seen all possible options and nothing surprised him. In the Worlds-Shadows-states everything is present and non-existent. So if something happens to annoy you, stop and think. There is something you did not want, something you did not foresee, your desire was not realized. Instead of being angry, ask yourself: "Was my wish wise"? Anger, just like pain, fear and the rest of the Doors, is an emotional state. It is created by the mind.
Anger and Seven Principles First Principle: "Be Flawless in your Words." Anger is the moment when the mind is confused because it did not get what it planned, and then it retreated for the emotions to come. The mind is confused, but it has a direct nature. It's like a snowslide - you know it will move down, but not up. While uncontrollable emotion is like a hurricane it is unclear what direction it will take. It is precisely the danger of anger - it provokes actions in a vague direction and has a destructive character. When one is angry, he often says things he regrets then. Later he can apologize, but karma is already accumulating and is pending. So, if we feel that we are already angry, we must do our best not to speak at all. Or make sure that there is no one to talk to (for example, let us alone for a while until our anger is overwhelmed). Another useful method of controlling anger is to counteract it with concentration. The essence of anger is chaotic. That is why we have to go out of chaos, giving us a clear direction. This may be by engaging in an action different from what angered us and concentrated strongly on it. This can be a physical activity that does not require a particularly mental effort, such as a sports workout. It can also be a book reading. It is important that it is an action that does not imply talking. If we talk to someone, even if we are not angry with him, still it could give very negative consequences. Anger will steal into our words and we can allow other defects in the word and convey false thoughts. Basic rule: "When you work on your anger, do it yourself and don`t engage other people." Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." Of course, the best option is to prevent anger is not allowing to appear at all. Wrath appears in people who are slaves of the mind. Their mind designs scenarios, desires, and ambitions, and when something does not happen, man is angry. So we have to study and analyze the reasons that led to our anger in the prior situations. Often the reason that someone makes or says something we do not agree with. Anger is our form of disagreement. We neither need to accept the position of others nor reject or rebut. That is why we must leave the wishes to change people when they are not ready for it. Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." Be as the Sun - seeing all and unattainable to everyone. The sun wants to shine equally for all. When two people argue and get angry, do not take sides, but do not be indifferent. The Adept does not interfere directly. He allows being seen by the arguing, without interfering in their quarrel. With his behavior, the Adept shows another possible way in which there is no conflict. The
most elemental example: If two people argue fiercely about sports because they are supporters of competitive sports teams, the Adept will change the subject of conversation to one that is attractive to both sides and is one that suggests unanimity. If the two are, for example, of the same political party, we can change the subject from sport to politics. Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." The man in front of you is angry because he did not understand something right, something was contrary to his principles, his desires. What is invisible here? People are rarely see the future because for them it is part of the for unknown. The Adept sees the unknown and can offer the angry new perspective. To create a new desire for him. New ambition. The mind calms because there is new food. Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." Watch people carefully. Find out what they like and what they do not. What they believe and what they do not. Which are their desires and ambitions? This is the easiest way to avoid someone getting angry. This is the meaning to stand before every single moment-by not allowing or giving the preconditions of anger to appear. Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey ." If you see that someone tends to be angry or is already angry, direct this energy in another direction. Instead of giving him words, give him something to do. Some tiring action in which to get tired and so anger will go away. Anger comes only if a man has energy. When a person has no energy, it is difficult for anger to manifest. The confusion of the mind can manifest itself in another form, like fear, for example. Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." If you assume someone can pour out his anger on you, move as far as possible to prevent it from happening. This can provoke a chain reaction in you, and the person who has nagged you will accumulate karma. To protect both, the Adept sensed when the anger rose and moved away instantly. Exercise: 1. Every time you get angry you have to keep silent, no matter how much you want to talk. Do not take any action, no matter how much you want to do something to pour out and show your feelings to others. If you are silent and you do not take an initiative, it will not make you weaker. On the contrary. Who demonstrates his anger, seeks comfort from other people, and has an internal need for help. 2. When someone is burdening you internally, and so you engage in internal aggression and anger, start to self-analyze how this affects, the power of the subject over you, and what it affects you. Then think about where to focus aggression to cultivate it. Point this energy to something constructive. So you will learn to re-create reality. Тhe gathering of anger is an intermediate process. You have to trace where it comes from and where it should go. 3. When anger rises, go to the bathroom (so you can stay alone with yourself) and let the water out of the tap. Put your hands up in the water stream, close your eyes and start breathing deep and slowly through your nose. When you fill your lungs with air, do not rush to exhale it, but hold it for a long time. Do 9 repetitions with inhales and exhale, while you feel the water "flushes" your anger and your mind is emptied of thoughts.
5. Compassion / A Door to: Approach Overview. The consequences of misunderstanding, pain, fear, and anger are like a battlefield after a war. There are many dead on the ground. Few survivors are labeled as "predators", although they are just another type of victim. How does this picture look for someone who just passing through this field and never took a place in the battle? He will first see the victims, and the first thing he will think of is that the same can happen to him. He will accept the situation personally and he will think first of all about him selfprotection. Thus he fails to realize impartially the situation he is witnessing. By accepting things personally, he will think, analyze and act under the influence of fear. He has already chosen the "victim" mask. Compassion for the victims and fear of "predators". The Adept knows that both the "predator" and the "victim" are just figures in a theatrical play - everyone plays their part, but they are not real. Punishing the "predator" or the sorrow of the "victim" is in contradiction with the Sacred Occult Rule: "Do not help. Everything is exact. Facilitate nobody. Tempt the Souls and test the Spirit. " The Book of the Yellow Spider - The Cobwebs of the Spider: 12 Regret and sorrow are a lack of Awareness. The blind is blind as a consequence of his actions in his past lives. The cripple is crippled as a consequence of his actions in his past lives. The poor are poor as a consequence of their actions in their past lives. Also, the rich are rich and extremely talented is genius as a consequence of their actions in this and past lives. "With your compassion to others, you make yourself feel more significant and strengthen the cult of personality and mind. Even in your compassion you still think about yourself and don’t even notice that. You feel pity for those who bear the shortcomings you have and try to fix them through the objects of your compassion. This way your need for your “victims” is increasing – need to protect them to feel yourself secure. After that, you get more and more attached to them until you become dependable and then you wrongly call this love... " The Book of the Yellow Spider - Disciples: 8 Everything is exactly what it should be. Just most people do not know how to take full advantage of each situation. Each of us carries our fate - the consequences of our thoughts, actions, and decisions. Some encounter difficulties and overcome them, thus growing spiritually. Others fail to unravel the trials and react in a way that is harmful to themselves. All people encounter difficulties, but only the Chosen encounter trials. Pity means inner fear and irreconcilability with reality. Until you accept reality as it is, you will never learn to use it. People do not need our compassion and regret. They need the understanding so they can overcome the difficulties. Your sympathy stops you at every step and through it, you see the obvious, but not what lies behind it. Look behind the curtain and see the hidden reality and learn to accept it the way it is.
What we see is a consequence of people's actions. Everything is just the way suppose to be. Those who suffer carry the consequences of their actions. They do not need help in bearing the consequences. What we can do for them is to reveal them the Seven Principles and to give them methods of changing Reality. Thus man can change himself, and this change will come from within, not from the outside. Of course, we must also mention the way we can use this Principle to control others.
Compassion and Approach. Compassion is another child of the mind. It is closely related to misunderstanding. Compassion means to be affectionate with someone. Everyone has their own line of life. Everyone has their own destiny and for many, it is a heavy burden. Only who makes conscious choices can change his destiny and rewrite it. Only Intention has this power. Intention is a hidden force that anyone can access, but only a few could reach and even fewer could possess it. The first step is to awaken the Intention. This can be done through a conscious walk-in Rightness, which is a result of the application of the Seven Principles. If a person suffers and we only make his mind known, expressing our sympathy for him, we only deepen man's conviction of the predestination of his destiny. What we can do is transform our compassion into building aid. Assistance, of course, should not be direct but hidden. Example: If a friend complains that he has quarreled with his wife and wants us to talk to her to reconcile, we should refuse. The Adept does not interfere directly in people's lives. We can go talk to his wife, mitigate the conflict, but it will not have long-lasting results and it will be meaningless. It will take time, and very soon our friend will quarrel again with his wife and it goes out that we have wasted energy the previous time. That leads to compassion. Instead, the Adept has the Аpproach. The Adept does not give direct instructions to the person how to reconcile with his wife, nor does he trust in his prejudiced opinion how the conflict originated. The man may think that he and his wife have quarreled because he has spent much of their monthly savings and he has returned drunk, but the Adept sees behind the curtain of the obvious. In this hypothetical history, we can note that the conflict was not so dictated by money spending but by the lack of trust and sharing. It was also not so much a problem in drinking, but in that his wife was expecting more attention than her husband did not give but devoted his time to other people. On this basis, the Adept reveals the need for specific Principles and Methods that can broaden his friend`s horizons and allows him to make changes and avoid the same error again. This is the Аpproach.
Compassion and Seven Principles First Principle: "Be Flawless in your Word." Being Flawless in the Word in the context of compassion means to choose only those words that can be understood. Speaking to someone in his language, in a way he will understand you. So do not think about how you sound to yourself, but how you sound to others when you talk to them. Do they understand? Do you realize what you are telling them? That is why citing is not inherent to Adept. He explains the same Principle to different people in different ways and gives them the appropriate examples to be understood. Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." The Adept is committed to actions
that set roots. If your help only makes the person lazier and less proactive; if your help does not help him to learn from his mistake, then all this is unnecessary. Plant the fruit of your labor only in grainy soil. Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." Being a Sun in the context of compassion means to cast your rays to where they can actually reach. If a person is in a "cave" or otherwise is too self-absorbed and not ready for change, you have to wait patiently for the moment. Occult rule: "Give your hand for help when the hands of man are free." Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." The Adept sees not only the direct cause of human suffering but also the hidden causes of past lives and the karma that has been accumulated. The Adept gives people methods of clearing karma and removing suffering. Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." Here the question is when we interfere. If a person suffers and we interfere too quickly, we can deprive him of the opportunity to learn from his mistakes. If we slow down too much, it can have permanent damage to it. We have to choose the right moment to intervene. In certain cases, we can intervene before the person has made the mistake and thus prevent it. Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey." When you see someone suffering, capture the energy of this suffering and give the suffering Clarity. The Clarity through which to acquire Awareness and thus find the door through which it must pass. Frequently faithful answers are right in front of us, but our minds are blurred by dreams, ambitions, and fears. Sometimes people need someone to wake them up and give them direction. Seventh Principle: "Do not let the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." When it happens to suffer, we must be able to see the usefulness in this suffering. It is given to us as a gift. We have no right to complain or to be ungrateful. Whoever complains, suffering becomes torture, and the man falls even further into the swamp. Accept the suffering with a smile. Look at it carefully, study it, and when you understand it, it will no longer be a pain for you. Suffering is what we do not understand and we want to reject immediately. When we study suffering, it becomes closer to us, and we now perceive it as a lesson, not as a burden. Task: 1. When you find that you are starting to feel sorry for someone, try to understand his past and look for the origin of his misfortune. The fact that sometimes the cause is not obvious does not mean it is not reasonable. 2. If it happens to suffer, do not complain, do not be scornful. Be sincerely grateful. Whoever serves the Flame truly serves both in grief and in joy. If you serve only when it pleases you, you can never become Adept. In case of suffering, stand in front of the mirror and smile. Formula: "Ahaar where the Flame is, I am there too." Formula: "Ahaar, let me rise like a Sun." Do not look to get rid of suffering, but live with it. Make it a part of your life and it will be transformed.
6.Passion /A Door to: Unconditional Love to all and mostly to our enemies.
Overview. Love is the principle of pure action. It is the initial impulse from which every movement is born. Love is an Initial Intention. When Intention is moved in a certain direction it is called "Will". The Intention - this initial impulse goes into motion and the tip of this arrow is called "Will". Love that sets conditions is not a real Love. Love is sacred only when it is like the Sun. Only when lights for all. If we love some people more than others, we bring to the world a combination of light and shadows. The Adept must be able to believe even in what is not believable. Only then he can seek the hidden. Then Intention changes Reality. If something is easy to believe and can be proven, then where is the trial? Faith creates what it establishes in the limits of your perceptions. That is why you need to extend the limits of your perceptions through Love. Human love is only a shadow of Divine Love. Human love sets conditions, is accompanied by selfishness and suffers from an obsession with possession. Therefore, it is short-lived and has no real force of action. Human love makes you take a personal attitude and make a lot of mistakes. You love some, and others do not. So, you fall between these two extremes. Loving those who are easy to love is not Love. Love as Principle is like the Sun - it shines and loves unconditionally everyone. Right here is the key - the unconditional. You must be like the Sun and impartially love everyone - even the evil ones, those who cause you pain, those who you have no reasons to love. Logic is a human creature - Love is not logical. It is Absolute. When you start to love yourself and everything around you, without setting conditions and judging, you are getting closer to Love. Only with Love, you can bring Strategies into Action. Affected by superficial emotions, you can not become Adept and exercise the Supreme Strategy. Love is a Path to Mastery and Word. Love is the beginning of Understanding and Wisdom.
Passion and freedom Passion is to have preferences. To desire something or someone too strong. When we direct our will and energy to a particular object of desire, we move our center. A desire cannot be the basis of our lives, so no matter how beautiful this passion seems to us, the time comes when everything collapses and we ask ourselves whether it has ever been real. There is no sense of passion for the Adept. For the Adept, all people, animals, and plants are his children, and he loves them all. The Adept gives their affection to all of them, but only loves the Flame. Who establishes the Flame at the center of his life, the Flame ranks everything in the most accurate way. Sometimes we have difficulties, sometimes even hard trials, but they are precisely calculated so we can pass them. Sometimes we
are given wealth, sometimes poverty, but nevertheless, the Adept is always provided with everything he needs to serve the Flame and carry out the Mission. Passion means dependence, and unconditional love gives freedom to both yourself and others. The passion gives so that it can then take away. Unconditional Love gives everyone without wanting anything for themselves and always gets the most. There is a fear in the passion that you will lose it. Unconditional Love is full and you know it will always be, and no one can ever take it away.
Passion and the Seven Principles First Principle: "Be Flawless in your Word." Love is unconditional when your words give freedom to all people. When there is no preciosity and everything happens naturally without being abused. The words of the Adept release the Souls of the people who have been enslaved by the mind. Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." If you are too attached to something, it becomes your weakness. The Adept cannot afford weakness when he is called to serve the Flame. The Adept is free at every moment of his life. Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." The passion is when you seek to feed your mind. Being a Sun is to let you be sought by all. This is the Adept for the world and the people - the Sun. Everybody wants it, everyone can see it, everyone can receive the light of its rays, but no one can own it, no one can reach it. Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." The Adept realizes that not every person is willing to devote himself to the spiritual and divine, so when he sees someone who has given his great passion (man, hobby, subject, etc.), the Adept reveals the hidden part of his passion. Example: The Adept sees, one is in love and blinded by seeing the obvious qualities of the woman he is in love with. Qualities that everyone can see. She may be talented, tactful, hardworking. The Adept reveals to man some of the spiritual qualities of the Soul of the Woman, which the man did not suspect. Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." The Adept is like little children - he plays with everyone and is well-meaning to everyone. Sincere in your words and pure in your heart. This is the position before every single moment - a position before the World has tamed you and the mind has placed you under its control. The Adept develops consciousness, but never send the child to sleep. Return to your childhood. Wake the child inside. When the child loves, makes it unconditional because it still has no developed mind. Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey." Get rid of the addiction and make it your strength. Turn your enemies into friends. Be father for all creatures. Seventh Principle: "Do not allow the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." Do not allow yourself to concentrate too much on a particular desire or passion, because it will open the door of your home, and the dusk will enter. Concentrating on one wish, you lose your Awakeness and you can easily be surprised. The Adept remains impartial and observes the whole without fixing in particular details. He sees the whole picture and there is no surprises. Task: 1. Many people are able to love their loved ones. The Adept is not most people. The Occult Student, who has begun to transform into Adept, must be able to love all
unconditionally - humans, animals, and all the beings in the universe - manifested and unmanifested. Start by loving your enemies or, in other words, those people who think you evil. Make a list of people who have been hostile to you or those who have harmed you and direct your Unconditional Love to them. Formula: "(The name of the person), I give you my unconditional Love." First, we can imagine how the person stands in the chair right in front of us. Then we pronounce the formula 3 times. After more practice, we present the person closest to each other. The final stages will be to imagine how we embrace the person while we apply the formula. Exercise: 1. Go out in nature ( forest, park or other) or if you are in the city to a tall building. Observe the landscape without focusing on any part of it. Swallow the whole picture in front of you. Look at everything at the same time like on a palm without concentrating on specific elements.
7. Preconception / A Door to: Sacred Knowledge Overview. Preconception is a disease of the mind. When it engages you, life stops and there is no development. The Soul dries. You do not see the meaningful things in life anymore. Your mind makes you develop firm opinions about things, and they form your preconception. Preconception makes you not understand yourself and the life around you, and you weary in ignorance. Now everything new and progressive provokes fear in you. Fear of the unknown. You have nothing but a desperate attempt to defend your beliefs. So you are trying to impose your beliefs on others and spread this disease. Preconception makes you a dry branch and you are already fragile for the changes in time. It prevents you from listening to and perceiving, and you can only hear your illusions that are true only in your consciousness. Preconception takes the quality of judging events and you commit error after error. So to a great extent, your life loses meaning. What are you actually living for? What is the idea of your life? Beware of preconception, my friend. Whenever you think everything is obvious, try to look at things through the prism of the doctrine and understand it. Take a look at your whole life and see what all the things you are prejudice about and try to penetrate the barrier of the mind and illuminate the darkness in your mind with the Principles of the Teachings. This is how the spiritual death of man comes: under external and internal factors, one begins to think in a certain way, to be afraid, to be in constant expectation. He begins to doubt himself and others. Constantly makes guesses and never has confidence. On the basis of the above, the person draws his opinion and thus loses any real idea of reality. This leads to preconception and alienation. Exercise: Death and old age are in many cases the same. Be careful not to get old. To do this, smile and do not stop searching. You will never grow old in the search. If you
put the Truth on a search, you will never find it, but it will find you. And youth is something to be exercised. What exactly is youth for you? What is it composed of?
Preconception and Knowledge Preconception is trying to guess but never knows. It does not know because it is afraid to know. Knowledge comes with a great responsibility that the mind does not want to bear. It prefers to guess, but it can never feel secure. If it says the apple is red, it may be right, but it may be wrong. It may also be that the apple is actually green. This is the mind. This is the man of the world. The one who follows the rules invented by others ignorant. The Black Adept walks the Path of Flawlessness, and this gives him access to the Sacred Knowledge. The Adept knows that the apple is neither red nor green. It is in all colors. In different dimensions, the same apple exists in all shapes, colors, and tastes. It is the same apple, but at the same time, it is very different. All of them exist as one apple. What will be the color and the taste of the apple, depends on the choice of the Adept. The Adept does not believe in the existence of the apples. He just knows there are real. Do not believe. You just have to know. Be sure. The Adept is not allowing the doubt as an opportunity. There is no fear. There is no possibility of disappointment. There is no way to make a mistake. Now the apple may be red, and if you need could become green, depending on the Adept's Intention. The Black Adept also knows that on a deep level there is no apple - it is just a projection of consciousness. The outcome of our pointed Intention. Only when we get rid of the prejudices we can look at the "apple" of all different angles and know its true nature. Knowledge is not something that is achieved and then "just known." It is the product of Intention and is always on the move. Always in a search. Continuous search. This is the essence of Knowledge - the Movement. What stops moving - dries, becomes static and accepts the preconceptions. In the continuous movement, consciousness does not accept any particular form - it accepts all forms as an opportunity.
Preconception and the Seven Principles First Principle: "Be Flawless in your Word." The wrong words mislead, and misconception leads to an opinion, and one becomes prejudiced. The prejudiced has a constant need to be right. He is internally insecure, and therefore he must constantly speak his confused thoughts to see how others react and try to contend with them, to convince them in his rightfulness. In fact, man tries to convince himself and conceal his insecurity. The root of all this vicious chain is the impurity in the word. The Adept can name everything with the right names. He reveals Knowledge gradually and gives as much as man is willing to perceive. To reveal more than necessary to the unprepared will lead to his confusion and delusion. Choose your words carefully. Be thrifty and strike the target not with many words but with accuracy. Second Principle: "Leave everything unnecessary." People are prejudiced and block their own development, forming their opinions about unnecessary things. For which political party did we vote? Which politician "will manage the state" better? Absolutely unnecessary reasoning that leads to unnecessary analysis and
compilation of even more unnecessary opinions. These opinions, with the help of the opinions of our surroundings, are conceived in preconceptions. The Adept never focuses on the needless and transient. He is concentrated in the Flame, and from this connection gets everything he needs, and his whole life ranks in the right way. What is superfluous? People`s opinion. People live in a fictional world in which they believe it is imperative to have an opinion and say it, otherwise you have no individuality and others will not respect you. It is not important to have an opinion. Important is your attitude to the Ancient Gifts - Life and Choice. How do you live? Which are the choices do you make every day? Third Principle: "Turn your mind into the Sun." Man is a diminutive copy of the Universe, and in himself are hidden all mysteries. Turning into the Sun means accepting your responsible role in the Universe. The Adept has realized his role in the transmission of Knowledge. In this transmission is the secret of Knowledge itself - it must be constantly on the move. It can not and should not be static. A constant task for the Adept is to observe the worthy people and bring them the Teachings. Fourth Principle: "Work with what is invisible to others." What is the invisible? People's lack of knowledge. Ignorance. That's what Adept works with. The Adept sees what man does and doesn`t know and he fills the gaps. When he notices that a person has a misconduct, the Adept does not contradict him but slowly drives him into a situation in which man can personally realize his mistake. The Adept just stands nearby to be able to guide the man. The Adept works with the questions and answers of the people. Their questions show what they are looking for and do not know. Responses show what they think they know. Questions and answers serve Adept as a map where he points to where the person has gone. The Adept looks closely at what the person is talking about; why he avoids talking, and would otherwise talk; what questions they ask, when they ask them, and how they handle the answers they receive - whether they accept them right away, whether they check them, whether they are arguing; what are the answers people give - whether they are sincere, whether they want to like it, whether they are silent about the essence ... When the Adept study the "relief of this map", he begins to fill the gaps. Fifth Principle: "Take position before every single moment." Preconception and opinion have a form. Sacred Knowledge is formless. It is like water - it does not have its own form, but it can take all forms. If you take a form, you will be after the moment and you will have no control over your own life. You can have control only when you are before the moment before drafting your opinion before the water takes shape. Knowledge can never be contained in opinion. That's why science constantly hit on a stone when it collides with the spiritual. Science works with evidence (a type of opinion) and thus takes a hard form and can not be changed. A scientist proves a theory, then another scientist proves the opposite theory, and while they play, people live in ignorance. Man needs to be awakened from the Sacred Knowledge, not from the opinions of fictional authorities. Man needs Principles, not laws. Man needs methods, not constraints. When everyone begins to do exactly what they are intended for, there will always be harmony throughout their lives. Sixth Principle: "From the mud bake bricks. From the weeds, ignite a fire. From the flowers extract the honey." How to get a man to overcome preconceptions? With constant search. Based on what a person is looking for (or rather, what he thinks he is looking for), the Adept gives him a direction of search. The Adept gives him an unachievable goal. So man is in constant search. It turns into running water. When he finds the answer to a task, the Adept instantly puts another to him, and the man
goes on a search again. This is how he learns to live in a search. Seventh Principle: "Do not let the dusk to cast a shadow over your smile." Do not allow the preconception to grow in your mind. Then you become a dry branch and the wind can break you. Do not accept the others` experience until you have created your own. That is why the Adept does not have the right to convey Knowledge, which he has not transformed and made his own. You read something, and you are in a hurry to share it with others. You do not have the right to share something you did not pass personally. Something you've learned as an experience. This is why the Master passes his experience directly to his disciples. Not things he read here and there. No quotes. Only what he's been through. For this reason, the relationship between teacher and disciple is sacred, and there can be no darkness between them.
APPENDIX: CONTROL OVER EMOTIONS
Emotions: Overview Emotions are states that the mind creates. They sometimes feed consciousness, and sometimes they eat it. When you are a music performer of classical music, you have a work with precise notes text and explicit indications of how to accomplish it. The longer we go back in time (Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven), the more concrete we must be in the performance, and lesser the wills we can afford. Fewer opportunities for personal expression. Many music educators claim that we need to "serve the music," not to use it for only selfexpression. There is no such thing as "serving the music". Music is not something that exists constantly and independently. (If we go deeper into the Occult, we can say that the Universe is vibration, everything is a vibration, etc., but that's already something different deeper than music). There is no way to serve the music. The music serves us. We have an idea and want to express it with our performance. There is no music until someone sits down and does not start pressing the keys of the piano. Previously, there was only Silence. We create the music, and without us, it can not live. Where is the relationship with emotions? We do not feel emotions. We create them. We allow them to survive. Most people live with the idea that we just feel emotions and that`s it. There can be no other way. We serve the emotions. They just happen. But that is a great delusion. Are we getting angry? Do we choose to serve anger? No. We just allow the anger to happen. We choose to be angry. There is no such thing as anger. It is a product of the mind and can not exist alone without us. If we do not exist - there is no anger. It's the same with fear. It is a point of view. Whether we choose to have it or not. We can choose whether the shadow on the wall is a terrible monster or just realize that it is the shadow of a garment. To master the emotions, we must first fully realize that they are not real. They do not exist. They are a fiction. We create them as illusions that feed our minds and then disappear as dreams. Something that is real is permanent. Can you be angry with the same power constantly? Can you be constantly afraid? The emotion is exactly the shadow of the wall. The mind chooses to see it. We bring the flame of the candle closer to the wall -
the shadow disappears. The flame of the candle is Awareness. What are emotions trying to do? To make us not to be ourselves. Or to drive us to unnecessary actions, as does anger. Or make us take no action, as fear does. Fear is mastered with determination when we do not hide under the blanket as a visible shadow on the wall, but on the contrary - we go to investigate what is trying to scare us. Let's try to look at it from different angles, to understand its origin. For anger, our strategy is the opposite - to refrain from any action or words. We just stop reading the book. We close the book and forget. Later, we can come back and analyze when we cool down. Emotion is a matter of choice. With emotions, we go out of the center of our circle and so we become distant for one and closer for others. How can we serve ourselves, the Flame, the others if we succumb to our emotions, and do not realize that we are creating them and they should be subordinate to us? The emotion tells us: "Come on, you want this, or you want that! Say so, do it otherwise! Satisfy your desires." But these desires are not necessities, they are not really necessary. They are unnecessary. So we make the world revolve around us and because of our personal selfish desires, we miss the true real needs and the needs of others. Our emotions are sometimes pleasant, sometimes - not. But the question is how they help and to whom they help? Where is Love in these emotions? Where is Truth? When we feel a sense of our brothers and sisters and act with purity, then emotions give way to Love. There was a time of change. A great storm is coming. Whoever chooses to serve himself and his own emotions will remain as a lonely tree and the storm will sweep him. We do not live alone in this world, and if we want to move to the Sixth Solar Race, we can do it all together, all united. Only united as a forest, we will be able to overcome the storm. United in one race - Spiritual race. Speaking one Language - The Language of Truth. Serving only the Flame. The only Flame, The Flame in you, The Flame in me … UR "The essence of Truth is in the search. You will never find the Truth, but it will find you and will accompany you to the search, which is itself. " Book of the Chosen - Word: 13 Address to the School of the Black Brotherhood, July 2018, Moriel Yamanu
Thoughts and feelings Thoughts and feelings are inextricably linked. Always lead to others. So neither of them can balance. Let's give a method here: "Thinking is mastered with a step forward and emotions with a step back." Thoughts are mastered when you run out of time. It takes a high speed to overtake the thought and replace it. There is another technique: to make a short program of Formulas and change the Formulas one after the other very quickly without having time to think about and thus disturb the concentration. Here the technique is equivalent. You have intrusive thoughts about something that damages you. Speed. Quick. Now. Put a new thought-purpose. Something that still has no clear concreteness. Just feel the atmosphere of this thought. Build a few other thoughts quickly with which you can easily reach the thought goal. Let's give a good example. Our child is sick. This is the current thought: "Oh, now if it gets worse, what will
happen, will I have to take unpaid days off from work again, how will we deal with it..." and this way, the more we think, thoughts materialize more or less (depending on other factors - whether there is a backward momentum, karmic burden, etc.) We need a thought-aim. Let's not formulate it yet ... We just mark the Shadow-World-Mind state ... We see ourselves and our child in the park. We all laugh and we are healthy. There is no tension. Now let's see how we get to that thought. We can choose a few points on the way - how much, depends on the complexity of the task. Our first thought is how our child is still sick, but he/she no longer cries (we assumed he/she was crying while was sick). Then we concentrate on another thought - the child not only does not cry but also smiles. Next thought is that we give him water to drink (in which we put the formula instantly while we apply the thought). The next thing about the chain is how we get to the park (which was the goal). We're already importing details. We have a background prepared from the beginning: the background is that we are together, laughing, and are visibly healthy. Now we have to bring the strokes for the StateShadow that we are creating. What are we doing? We play in a game - hide and seek or something else. Ballgame? This is how we transform the intrusive and dangerous thoughts. With Speed. Next. The above was an example of a journey through the Shadows. (Read more about Speed in the Book of the Chosen, chapter Movement, the lessons of the Serpent). How do we deal with feelings? We go back. We stop any thoughts. We clear our consciousness completely. Is there no thought, the movement stops and the time slows down. What is happening? Emotion moves in a higher speed line and continues to steer and overtake us, and as we slow down our pace, we are lagging behind, and so we and the emotion separate and we are no longer together. We are no longer driving in the car. We go out and watch the car overpass us. Now we can see what kind of model it is, what color. Even its registration number. Now it is the time for self-analysis and lesson. This is a very natural method if it is understood correctly. If you are very angry, what will your relatives advise: wait, do not rush, do nothing so you cannot do something bad or something stupid. How is this "lagging and slowing down" technically achieved? With concentration. It's natural. Why? Emotion has the mark that it is not specific, unlike thought. The emotion is very fuzzy, like ink in water. To counter it, we apply concentration. We can concentrate on the Flame, at a point on the wall, in our breaths and exhales, in the rhythm of our heart, in the rhythm of the music, in whatever you wish ... This is the gateway to the transition. When the "car" overtakes us, then we understand that this emotion is not ourselves. We've only been to it for a while, nothing more. After the examples, we gave above, we could say: drive the "car", but do not sleep in it.10 minutes, is a practical exercise for many other techniques. There comes a dangerous thought, a bustle, how to deal with a problem. All right. The bustle wants to force you to act hastily. 10 minutes. If you can not figure out a solution until then, you have the problem for the moment, and you are targeting another task. That you took something personally or emotionally in a very short space of time ... I would not say that in that case you "accepted it". Emotion just came to see you. This is more like when you are on the sidewalk and you are about to cross. At that moment a car passes at high speed - if you continue to cross after the passing of the car, it becomes a slight swirl that sucks you gently ... But the car did not hit you or you did not get in the car. Another comparison with your situation is the pulling of a guitar string - before it gets its original
position the string flicks and the amplitude decreases. These are things that will be cleared up with practice.
Transformation of emotions: The transformation technique lies in the Sixth and Seventh Principles and the interrelationship between them. Synthesis of their combination goes to the Third Principle. Emotion is simply energy combined with the mind. Pure energy and defect of the mind. Through the Sixth Principle, we make the decision to transform the emotion. Someone gets angry. Very good. So he has energy. If he had no energy, he would probably sleep, sit quietly, and do nothing. But he has surplus energy, consciousness does not know what to do, and is looking for what to do with it. Which people are angry? Those without purpose. Without a mission. With no sense in their life. Here's the key. Purpose. The man is angry - it's like having someone pumped with adrenaline - he cannot stay calm. But the angry one pumps himself with adrenaline and sit in one place, without moving forward. First, we must separate the mind from the energy. This will leave pure energy. This happens when we eliminate the mind and separate it from emotion. If you make it with you, the feeling is specific: let`s say you feel sadness ... How does the transformation take place? Imagine that you shrink. Just like Alice in Wonderland, after drinking the potion for shrinking. But in our case, we are diminishing within ourselves and seen from within. From your inner center and see how emotion, in this case - sadness, flows like a river around you and then you understand - you are not that sadness. It just passes from there. It has defied you, but you are not identical. It was like a garment that you chose to dress, but now you've stripped off. If we are dealing with someone else and following the example above with anger, the way is to transform through the Sixth Principle - to extract the usefulness of this person's anger, to turn it into something constructive. Let us give direction to this force. For example, instead of letting the man be angry at politicians to whom he will not do anything, we can turn him to someone who needs to be tested if will accept things personally. When we have transformed and harnessed the power of anger, then we apply the Seventh Principle - we do not allow a man's confused mind to return. How does this work? Partial with the Fifth Principle - we take from his time so the mind can not come back. We keep the man constantly engaged so that the mind can not intervene. And finally, we apply the Third Principle - the energy that is left pure, without the mind to confuse, we point it in the right direction. Instead of being angry at politicians, why do not you put this energy into something constructive, such as seeing who among the people around you needs help? This is just one of the many examples of how the transformation is done. There is an entire universe in the Five Proto Elements and the Seven Principles. And even more. With the consistent application of the Seven Principles, the Occult Student learns how to work with the power of his thoughts and to master his emotions.
EPILOGUE
The book is your companion in joy and difficulty, but the time is coming to close all the books and to start being. The time coming to write the book of your life through your actions. Through your Choice. Everyone's coming to the point where they have to put the book on the side and start making their lives ... Here comes the moment when you, dear reader, are given the right of Choice. The methods described in this book do not need your approval or criticism. These methods are just tools. How you decide to use them depends on your choice. The obvious benefit of working with the Seven Principles is extremely clear - through them, you can achieve greater understanding and control over your own life and help both yourself and your loved ones. But going beyond that framework, what is the whole point? One of the things that make sense of life is leaving an heir. But do you have what to give to your heir? And what will your successors inherit? And their heirs? The money will be spent. The house may be wiped out by a hurricane. Your children will remember you. Your grandchildren will remember you. The children of your grandchildren will not remember you, and you will be forgotten. Even if you leave some material goods, they will no longer be associated with you, because no one will remember who you were. What you were. What have you done and what you have contributed to. Where's the legacy then? On the other hand, the knowledge and methods described in this book can change your way of life and open your eyes to other realities. These methods are a tradition passed from generation to generation since time immemorial. Now you have the opportunity to be part of this tradition, make it part of your life and pass it on to your heirs. To give them something that cannot be lost, destroyed, or spent. A tradition which has resisted the test of time. A tradition that will make you truly remembered. A tradition with which your heirs will be remembered and none of you will be lost in the trap of time. Heirs are not just our own children, but every spiritually awakened human being. Everyone could apply the Seven Principles in his own, unique way. Everyone could benefit both himself and others. Everyone deserves the opportunity to make a change in their lives using the Seven Principles. The more people apply this system, the more they will find the balance within themselves and will be in harmony with others. So instead of succumbing to the temptations of the world and living in hatred, jealousy, and ignorance, we will be an indivisible and balanced whole. The Sixth Solar Race. Race, spiritual in nature. A race that does not matter skin color, nationality, gender, age or religion. A spiritual race in which the only important thing is your Flawlessness. Here is the moment for this book to end, but begins the book for your Way to Flawlessness ...
