The more I read about esoteric teachings, mythologies and ancient history, the more I realize I am on an active spiritual path to discover the devine within. This manifests in form of symbols, synchronicity and intuitition to follow my heart.
Intentions To Focus The Mind
A week ago I wrote about breaking out of the control patterns I feel have been accumulated within me during my lifetime. This feels now like a heavy burden on my progress to enlighten the universal flame within myself that shines in all of us and makes us the powerful beings we are in this human incarnation.
To gain control over my temple I am starting a path of focussing my creative force on directed intention. This basically means being thankful and humble but also creating a wish to manifest into reality. This wish is very different from what you can read in The Secret, the best-selling book that teaches you can wish for a red Porsche and it will appear if you believe it hard enough. Because if your wish does not fit into your soul purpose of this life you are currently incarnated then it cannot work.
I don't really claim to know what that exactly means. For now it is good enough to me to know that there is a huge difference and that I will discover the intrinsic details of that when I am ready and continue my path. For now I focus on healing my body, mind and soul. This should hopefully align with my purpose as it will enable me to execute whatever it is I came for much better than otherwise.
Intention Techniques
Some techniques for that is to charge your food and water with your intention before you consume it. I have started to do that but it is still a bit awkward and unusual for me to do and I tend to forget it and then remember it half-way through my food. This is very similar to a prayer and the religious among you might do this already all your life. You can also wash your hands and rinse down negative energy consciously and then charge yourself with your intention.
Even though I am admittedly terrible at breaking my old habbits I have at least started the work. It feels like I have a long way to go but yet it is also a relieve that I am willing to the necessary steps to awaken the power slumbering within.
If you are interested in ancient teachings I suggest you start reading the Kybalion which is a small book about the seven Hermetic principles. And if you want to dive deeper research Gnostic and Hermetic teachings.
Have you any experience with gnosticism and hermetism? If so, I am very interested in your thoughts and experiences.
