The student of Gnosis has to learn how to transform all experiences into wisdom. No matter what our circumstances, it is necessary to remember that God is with us, managing our life. Whatever difficulties of discomfort we face should thereby be transformed into a mirror unto ourselves, in which we can see our pride, envy, jealousy, anger, etc. By meditating on the elements that our circumstances provoke in ourselves, we can then understand how each situation was created by our desires. When those desires are fully comprehended, the corresponding situation will also be comprehended. When those desires are subsequently eliminated, the corresponding situation will also vanish. Therefore: if we want changes in our external circumstances, it is necessary to understand what internal qualities caused them to exist. Change the internal qualities, and the external will also change.
