Hello. I don't understand how this "Transmuting" works. I've read through this stuff so much, only weor book I haven't bought from glorian is beyond death... tried to meditate for countless years, but no real evidence of any kind of transmutation has ever happened? Ok maybe a little, but not much and it's not as easy or clearly perceptible as I thought it'd be like, bam energy from groin up to brain, wala!(Terribly, Terribly slow process to get change) Now I'm just having premarital sex with a girl on birth control, so I feel really guilty both from a gnostic point of view of spilling, but also premarital and birthcontrol point of view from my catholic sentiments. What can I do? When does the point come when we should realize we aren't capable of this teaching and just try to live happily knowing we wont find enlightenment or some deep profound spiritual realization? It all seems phony to me. Gnosticism, Catholicism, Left-hand Path, anything I've studied, philosophy too. It's like any of these teachings bring out something bad in me. Catholicism-sanctimoniousness, Left-hand path-Pretentiousness, Gnosticism-both aforementioned vices. What's the Gnostic view of the chrisitan heresy anti-nomianism? I really feel like I'm living without laws, which the bible describes as the anti-christ, but I can't control myself no matter how easy the religious types make it sound and I can't help being stupid no matter how much left-hand path types command otherwise. I passed my psyche test for seminary and for military, but do you guys think I should see a mental doctor about this? I don't think they'd understand my problem... It's not like it's crippling, but it is frustrating. My relationship with religion and knowing what to do about it. Ugh. I hope no one sees this as a waste of time. Sorry if I wasn't solemn enough in this post, but the inability of me to comprehend this teaching is funny in a "really, after all this time and effort, this is the result, I must have too many mentally and spiritually handicapped egos running around deep inside me" kinda way.
any advice or encouragement is welcome in these dark times =)

To be (self-realize), or not to be (to enter the realm of Non-Being: Klipoth)--that is the question:True spirituality is life without shackles. Liberation is a conscious state, a state of being, to become something new on a moment to moment basis. The most fundamental teaching in the gnostic teachings is not only knowledge of sexual energy, but moreover, how we use attention. If we know how to direct attention, we are discovering new things, instant by instant. This is creative comprehension as described in The Great Rebellion, and constitutes our objective in the work within this precise moment. Without alert novelty and the discovery of the new, we are asleep and remain within the past, or are daydreaming about a non-existent future. It is upon this basis that we acquire genuine understanding and comprehension of the practices in this tradition in order to revolutionize our life.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (Karma)
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles (through jihad: spiritual warfare)
And by opposing end them (through psychoanalytical and Tao meditation).
To die (in the ego), to sleep (rest within the Innermost)-- No more--and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to (through identification with animal desire).
-Hamlet by William Shakespeare
What is our moral level? Or better said, what is our Level of Being?
The repetition of all our miseries, scenes, misfortunes, and mishaps will last as long as the Level of our Being does not radically change.
All things, all circumstances that occur outside ourselves, on the stage of this world, are exclusively the reflection of what we carry within.
With good reason then, we can solemnly declare that the “exterior is the reflection of the interior.”
When someone changes internally and if that change is radical, then circumstances, life, and the external also change.
[...]
Therefore, if we really want a radical change, the first thing we must understand is that each one of us (whether black or white, yellow or brunette, ignorant or erudite, etc.), is at one “Level of Being” or another.
What is our Level of Being? Have you ever reflected upon this? It would be impossible to pass into another level if we ignore the level in which we presently are. -Samael Aun Weor, Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology
Joyful in hope, suffering in tribulation, be thou constant in thy prayer.
Benedictis, qui venit in nomine Domini. Osanna in excelsis.
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!"
