The Great Work

The term Great Work (magnum opus) is a term used in Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Hermeticism, Alchemy and for The The Great WorkOrder of the Gnostics. It is simple to define, but very difficult to complete.

The work is considered “Great” because it is one of our main purposes in this lifetime, and how we evolve our souls through each successive life.

Many of us are like an undisciplined child whose souls have just began our journeys on the path of the Great Work, and some souls are old wise beings that just need to ‘remember’ the Great Work in order to evolve. To remember is to become a Gnostic that taps the ancient Gnosis encoded within your very own DNA.

This is the Great Work of Human Evolution. (more…)

Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all

By Albert Pike – “Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all Albert Pikeexcept the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it.

Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it.

So God Himself incapacitates many men, by color-blindness, to distinguish colors, and leads the masses away from the highest Truth, giving them the power to attain only so much of it as it is profitable to them to know.” – Morals and Dogma pages 104 and 105

The birth of this true faith, is the beginning of Gnosis

The dawning of this sacred conviction, the birth of this true faith, is the beginning of Gnosis; it is the Glad Tidings, the Gnosis angel of light gnosticof Joy, at whose shining Sorrow flees away.

This is the Gospel, as Basilides the Gnostic conceived it, the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings; that is to say, the Father in the likeness of a dove–the Father of Light brooding over the sacred vessel, or divine chalice, or cup, the awakened spiritual nature of the new-born son. – GRS Mead

May he be born out of ignorance into Gnosis

The office of the “father” is to bring the “son” to union with himself, so that he may be born out of ignorance into Gnosis, born in Mind, his Highest Self, and so become Son of the Father indeed. – GRS Mead

The Number 7

Since ancient times, the number seven (7) has always held a special significance in our universe, the creation of human kind, 7_Chakrasand in religion. The number 7 is often called the holy number, lucky number, the prophetic number, or the mystical number.

In Eastern Philosophy there are the seven heavens of the Mohammedans and Hindoos, with the seven hells. The Christians in the West have the seven virtues and seven deadly sins, or what those in the New Age movement might call our seven light bodies, the seven chakras, or the seven states of being.

Plato had written in Timseus, that from the number seven was generated the soul of the World, Anima Mundana (Adam Kadmon). To the Greek Mathematician Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, the number seven is “the essence or first principle of things,” which they applied to the secrets of the universe and creation.

They had called the number seven in Greek ‘heptad’, and thought of it as a religious and perfect number. The Heptad was said to be from the Greek verb ‘sebo’, to venerate (and from the Hebrew Shbo, seven, or satisfied, abundance), being Septos ” Holy”, “divine”, “motherless”, and “a Virgin.” Hipporcrates said the number seven, a sepentary number had occult virtues, which “lends to the accomplishment of all things, and is the dispenser of life and foundation of all its changes.” (more…)
