WEEK TWO

LA PIETA' [A REAL ESOTERIC EVENT] - (3223)

 

Sometimes Art Touches the Essence [Soul]

​

All the types of Art, whether it be sculpture, music, cinema, literature, painting can touch the Essence, when they clearly portray an aspect of the intimate depths of that Essence. 

 

There are many aspects of the Essence that art can touch. The Essence's connection to the cosmos, the battling of light and dark within the Essence, the yearnings and angst to find meaning and God, the errors, the repentance, the moving qualities.

 

When art touches such themes in a way that people feel their own Essence moved deeply from within, people are immediately taken, and a timeless classic is born.

 

Why such a work of art touches so profoundly one's own essence, is a mystery of our own Essence. It is good to know the various works of art that are out there that touch so deeply our soul.

​

La Pieta' 

​

A sculpture by Michelangelo is one such work of Art that touches the soul. This is because it so clearly represents a cosmic moment in the life of the Christic force, it illustrates the path we all have to incarnate internally, the path of any Christ. And as we know Christ is not a person but a cosmic force that enters creation in order to eradicate every psychological sin, of everything born into existence.

La Pieta' only makes sense really if we see (perceive) it esoterically. The term "Pieta" means "piety",  this relates to the quality of being religious, or a divine virtue that is reflected by a soul when it is truly united with the Divine Mother. 

 

It represents a cosmic event because the Divine Mother is the bearer of the Intimate Christ, He gestates in Her and She brings him to life and by mandate of the Father allows Him to incarnate into flesh and blood. 

 

She is also Hecate - Mother Death, life and death are one in Her. The Divine Mother takes the Intimate Christ to his death. Because He must die to to be reborn into a higher and newer life. His sacrifice of death elevates his new life into a higher level of Being of closer intimacy with the Father who is always in secret. 

 

As He is immortal yet mortal He dies but resurrects. If He is to die it is to resurrect later. The esoteric death of Christ is a monumental event, He only dies to effect a greater degree of death.

 

As Master Samael says, with His death He conquers death. Christ conquers death with death!!!  So we need to understand that there are many degrees of death and the Intimate Christ dies many times in side each person.

 

That is the maximum fulfillment of the Divine Mother and of the Divine Eternal Feminine principle, to take Her son to the Father. 

 

In the Pieta' the Divine Mother contemplates His death, Her reflection is seen deeply in Him in His death. She waits that with His death Her yearnings for Him will come to pass in His new life. 

 

His death is also Her work and She in the position of the Pieta' is awarded the result of Her work,  which is to come to bear fruit when He resurrects. 

 

As a mother here on earth holds her dead son in her arms, all that she wanted for him in life has to also die with him. She may have wanted him to be a decent, honest, law abiding human being, who loves and serves others, who loves his wife and does the right thing by her and in so doing wins her love etc. But as he is dead all that wish and aspiration for him by the mother must die also.

In many ways She dies in Him, but the miracle of his resurrection, causes all which has died to be reborn and sublimated to a higher octave of quality and expression.  In short, La Pieta' represents a precious cosmic moment, in the relationship between Divine Mother and Intimate Christ or Cosmic Mother and Cosmic Christ. 

 

A special pause, surrounded by a penumbral darkness in which nature and men are sad and solemn, and the dark forces become agitated and rile trying to take advantage of this moment of vulnerability.

ART MARKS THE PEAK AND THE END - (3254)

​

The medium of Art leaves humanity a legacy and a kind of record of the knowledge, insights and understanding of the great cultures as well as in some cases their esoteric teachings.

 

It seems all that remains of the great civilizations and cultures is their Art. Little of their science, little of their politics, little of their culture remains, but that left through their Art. 

 

While a culture is in full bloom Art also blooms, expressing the culture’s splendor and values and they evolve through the lifetime of the culture.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Usually when a culture is agonizingly at the end, facing its last moments, it is usually preserved in the appeals of Art as the medium to keep what is left of it alive.

These teachings given to us by our Innermost are for the liberation of the human soul [Motho, Essence]. 

Thus, these teachings cannot be understood or psychologically digested by any logic or  reason of  ego, mind, and personality.

Logic and reason are equal to psychological hypnosis.

Inside every living thing there is something called "The Being". 

In modern Christian mythology "The Being" is referred to as "The Father". 

"The Father" is the seminal point of every Creation and the very mystery of regeneration. 

"The Father" inside every living thing is truly "The Being", which, for all lifetimes is always in secret - - and is the secret of Gnosis.

​

The purpose of our spiritual work is to dissolve the very mind we use to study the esoteric nature of the work. 

By learning to observe the  emptiness of breath, we become skillful in comprehending the emptiness of mind itself - - and thus, we are able to dissolve every form in which mind and sensation appears to us as the  Essence of Modimo (Unkulunkulu).

"Gnosis is the esoteric language of our Being! It is a foundation for the clear perception of Reality that a finger cannot point to, or mouth transfer to anyone without the instrument of meditation. A true gnostic is someone who has mastered the art of meditation for himself. A true gnostic is someone who knows how to live with a mind (manas) without habits."

(Only in a mind (manas) without habits can Truth be known from moment-to-moment.)

These teachings given to us by testimony of Modimo (our individual Innermost) are for the esoteric benefit and liberation of the Human Soul [Motho,  Umuntu, the Essence]. 

​

Thus, these teachings cannot be understood with intellectual reason, nor can they be digested by logic of our subjective ego, mind, and personality. 

​

Logic and intellectual reasoning are tantamount to psychological hypnosis for the soul.

Everything comes from the Creator, every atom of the cosmos is synthesized inside the bosom of the Creator - - and in modern Christian mythology the Creator Being is referred to as "The Father". 

​

"The Father" is a seminal point from which all created things permeate, He is the very mystery of regeneration. 

​

"The Father", inside every living thing, is truly our inward dweller; which, for all our lifetimes is always in secret - - and is the authentic internal goal of Gnosis itself.

The purpose of our spiritual work is to dissolve karmic imbalances caused by our basic mind from moment-to-moment. We want to know how to perceive reality beyond duality and relativity.  

​

By learning to observe the  emptiness of breath for example, we become skillful in comprehending "Emptiness of Form" - - and thus, in the same skillful manner, are able to dissolve the grasping mind in us.

 

In that way, our Interior mind is fully liberated from every "Form of Emptiness" upon which sensations appear to be real in the intermediate state.
