Gnosis: State Of Mind.

[Kami]

List of: "State Of Minds":



I have already made a thread in the past regarding how to achieve: "Knowledge Gnosis":

Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge (in the nominative case γνῶσις f.). It generally signifies a dualistic knowledge in the sense of mystical enlightenment or "insight".

So... Now I will deliver the other known form of: Gnosis, "State Of Mind":

The goal of a Chaos Magic ritual is to subvert one's normal conscious identity and bring about a mental state we call "gnosis". This application of the term is similar to the meaning used by the Tantrists, where the discursive mind is short-circuited and the magician's intention can be projected into the quantum flux of the universe.

The quantum flux of the universe is the: "Ether Field".

The Gnosis state of mind is basically the same state of mind when we lucid dream or astral project: "Theta".

People tend to use herbs such as marijuana or salvia, e.t.c. to HELP them ACHIEVE this state of mind.

Through that state of mind, we can then project our beliefs via our hearts into the ether field of this dreamality/mind.

...

To get a good idea of what the astral body is:

Some amputees experience their astral body in the form of a phantom limb which is the sensation that an amputated or missing limb is still attached.

What is astral projection?:

Astral projection (or astral travel) is a term used in esotericism to describe a willful out-of-body experience (OBE), a supposed form of telepathy, that assumes the existence of a soul or consciousness called an "astral body" that is separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside of it throughout the universe where it interacts with other astral bodies and is capable of implanting ideas into other people's minds.

I wonder what would happen if you were to fall into that Gnosis trance/state of mind; "Theta", whilst gazing at a full moon while feeling a happiness within your heart - maintaining it as coherent for a while?

They say that the moon has an effect on our brains.

And they also say that water is capable of retaining memory and that our feelings affect that water's memory structure.

Our brains contain water...

Would this bring about happiness within a reasonable range towards people who are feeling down?

I wonder what would happen if you did the same thing with a new moon, but focused on destroying your bad thoughts / emotions?

I wonder if there's a relationship between how human brain waves, at a lower frequency, become much more effective at giving out effects, and how a bass guitar's low waves can make you feel the vibrations in your bones?

It occurred to me one day to treat the sun as "down". If the sun is "down", then it is the focal gravity point (the biggest force affecting the world). If the sun is "down", then the full moon is "up". There might be some importance to the moon's light itself, but I bet if you stood outside during a full moon and looked down, the "middle gravity" would be enough to do something. It would probably be important to be in direct view of the moon though, because I bet physical objects (roughly stable electromagnetic energy) block the moon's gravity effect on you.

The full moon is pulling you up, so it's no wonder that it will make you feel all "up" and happy [thumbup]

Also, water expands as it freezes, and your brain has water in it. I wonder there's a relationship here between hot weather and poor, almost expanded focus. It's almost like that migraine you're getting is because your skull is expanding, now isn't it?

Sorry for not being as clear as posible... [zomg]

I didn't say that the moon was making me happy. [rofl]

[geek]

I honestly don't know how you misinterpreted that. [crazy]

Basically... What I am insinuating is that what would happen to those exposed to moonlight - while you gazed at the full moon while purposely feeling happy within your heart while you're in a trance/while you're in the Gnosis state of mind? [oh]

The moon is a: "Mirror". [grin]

Not only is it a mirror, it also pulls on water. [thumbup]

We have water within our brains and we know that water can retain memory, so it makes sense that somehow by gazing at a full moon whilst in a magickal trance such as that of: "Gnosis", we could implant suggestions into people's minds by feeling something coherent within our hearts. [yay]

The moon is known to affect peoples brains, and it is associated with our: 7th chakra. ~ [tongue]

I know you didn't say anything about the moon and gravity. I'm the one that added that idea. I made the relationship as a bit of thought, nothing more. No misinterpretation needed.

You wrote an interesting post, and I wrote a few assumptions / things that the post made me think about. The goal was to get your opinion, that's all.

It doesn't read that way... Dx

But I am wondering the same too now.

About the new moon. ~

Here's some ideas relating to the subject. Maybe you can formulate them into something useful using your bio electric energy theory (which sounds pretty decent for the record).

If you treat the sun as the electric pole of a battery, the moon as a magnetic pole of a battery (or even just unlit space or further out planets), and the earth as an insulator (sort of), then because the body is somewhere between 50% and 75% water (infants being made of more water than adults, typically, which is interesting in itself), you could treat the human body as a conductor for sunlight (or general radiation), and perhaps the body gets something akin to "bio electric amperage" throughout the day, but takes less damage during the night (because of a lack of solar radiation). It doesn't take many amps to kill a person.

Now, if you take into account that a fast car being hit by a bus will go off course much faster than slow moving one, you can treat consciousness as a vector of sorts (which is probably not a straight line, but it helps to picture it as having speed and direction). Take the car analogy to the brain. If you try to think or function (in general) during the day, you're effectively speeding up how fast solar radiation affects you (thus headaches, etc.). However, if you try to think at night, you're speeding up your thoughts without any solar influence (except maybe the moon).

I did an experiment a little while ago to see what the effects of sleeping during the day and staying awake all night would do. The results were interesting. I personally felt a lot less tired. It was almost like my consciousness was a beam being sent to my body, and it was starting to focus in because of removed interference. Maybe my body was just giving me chemicals to help keep me up and running, but maybe not. What's really weird is that at one point I decided that I felt like I wasn't really getting any more tired after sun down (though my tiredness at sundown would persist throughout the night).

Maybe you could use this to formulate how to overall deepen your conscious experience (your "connection" to the world), and thus improve the quality of your gnosis and overall magickal abilities.

I have no proof for any of my ideas here, but they make sense to me. What do you think?
