A History of the Gnostic WarriorA History of the Gnostic WarriorA History of the Gnostic WarriorA History of the Gnostic Warrior The first Gnostic Knight appeared on Earth when humanity began the

journey of the Spiritual Warrior in search of the Holy Grail that would lead to

God. The premier Knight manifested in the Garden of Eden of the East, the Pacific

Continent that Continental Drift Theory refers to as Lemuria and the pan-Pacific

people know as Mu, Hiva, Kumari Nadu, Havai’i-ti-Havai’i, Rutas, the Land of

Rua, etc. This primal Gnostic Warrior was known as Karttikeya (from Krittika, a

name for the Pleiades), who is said to have arrived from the Pleiades via the planet Venus with an entourage of fellow Gnostic Warriors, known collectively as

the “Sons of God.” Karttikeya, who is also known historically as Sanat Kumara,

Murugan, and Skanda, arrived from the heavenly region of his Mother, the

Cosmic Serpent (the Seven Sisters or Pleiades), on his many-eyed peacock

(representing and embodying his omnipresence and omniscience). As a Son

resembling his Mother, Karttikeya possessed six heads, one for each of the six

visible stars of the Pleiades, and he wielded the Wisdom of the Serpent (Gnosis)

and the Power of the Serpent (the “Force”) both of which were represented by his

weapon, the Vel Spear. The shaft of the Vel represented the path of the Serpent

Power, the human spine, and its head or blade represented the Third Eye, the seat

of Gnosis. The message embodied by Karttikeya’s Vel is that the best weapon of

the Gnostic Warrior is Gnosis, i.e., inner, intuitive wisdom and guidance.

The First Fisher KingThe First Fisher KingThe First Fisher KingThe First Fisher King Initially Karrtikeya founded three headquarters for his Gnostic Warrior tradition: Shambhala, and locations upon Lemuria now known as the islands of

Kauai, and Sri Lanka. At Shambhala, which is now in eastern Asia, Karttikeya built

a royal palace which he staffed with an entourage of Grail Knights. In his palace

he served as humanity’s first monarch or “Fisher King” and as the incipient

possessor of the Holy Grail. Technically, he was the first Holy Grail. He was a

human chalice full of the Water of Life or Serpent Power.

Legend has it that the drama that we know of as the Garden of Eden

occurred on what is now the island of Sri Lanka when it was part of Lemuria. At

that time God placed Adam on the summit of Adam’s Peak, which today is the

location of a temple that holds his five-foot long footprint preserved in stone.

After descending Adam’s Peak, the first man encountered Karttikeya, who had

been sent down as a serpent to Earth by his mother, Sophia, in order to reveal to

Adam and Eve – incipient humanity - their divine nature and the path to self-

knowledge. Karttikeya appeared in the Garden of Eden as the “Serpent on the

Tree” and proceeded to awaken gnosis within the first couple by activating the

inner Serpent Power that dwells at the base of the spine and guiding it up the inner Tree of Life to the Third Eye of Gnostic revelation. The gnostic wisdom and

power the first couple achieved and how to activate it through the awakening of

the Serpent Power was eventually transmitted to their premier Son, Seth-Cain

(Seth and Cain as synonymous), who then passed it on to the Sons of Seth. The

Sons of Seth dispersed and established Gnostic Knight Orders in many countries.

Page 3: Gnostic Warrior Manual

Within all the international Knighted Orders eventually founded by the

Sons of Seth the goal was to awaken the inner Vel Spear through activating the

inner Serpent Force and raising it to the Third Eye. The Knighted Order of Gnostic

Warriors in Egypt became known as the Order of Djedi Knights (from Dj, meaning

“Serpent”), who carried staffs full of dynamic Serpent Power. In India, the Gnostic

Warriors became known as the Order of Kshatriya Knights (from kṣatra, meaning

“to possess power”), and in the British Isles they manifested as the Order of Druid

Adders (Serpents), who discharged their Serpent Power through their wands, staffs and incantations. In Central America they became the Order of the Quetzlcoatl

Warriors (the “Plumed Serpent” Warriors), which was divided into the Gnostic

Orders of the Eagle Knights and Jaguar Knights.

Karttikeya becomes Mithra, St. Michael, etc…Karttikeya becomes Mithra, St. Michael, etc…Karttikeya becomes Mithra, St. Michael, etc…Karttikeya becomes Mithra, St. Michael, etc… As the Gnostic Warrior tradition moved westward from Lemuria to Europe

Karttikeya became embraced and venerated by a series of civilizations. In Persian,

Karttikeya (or Murugan) and his peacock became Mithra (or Mihr) and his bull.

Both deities were intimately associated with the Sun and the cock or rooster.

Later, during Roman times, Mithra as Mithras became the principal deity of the

Roman Legions, who during their initiations into his cult pledged to help rid the

world of the despotic Dark Lord, Ahriman, and his denizens.

When the Persian king Cyrus the Great released the Jews from their

captivity in Babylon, the Persian Magi traveled to the Middle East and introduced

Mithra and his nemesis Ahriman to the Rabbis. The Rabbis then took their

adopted Persian deities back to Palestine with them, but then changed the name of the Gnostic Warrior to St. Michael, and the diabolical Ahriman to Belial. The

Essenes, who were perhaps the most ardent worshippers of St. Michael, anointed

themselves St. Michael’s terrestrial army that would fight against Belial’s legions

and sought to incarnate the spirit of Michael into a physical body so he could lead

them in their battle with Belial and his dark forces. They believed they lived

during the end times when the final battle between good and evil was destined to

be fought….a truth they had received from the Mithra-worshipping priests of

Persia.

Thus, Karttikeya and his peacock transformed into Mithra and his bull, as

well as St. Michael and his dragon. The public masses accepted this mythos of

darkness versus light literally, but the initiated Gnostic Warrior recognized the

human-featured hero and his supposed nemesis as the Primal Warrior subduing

and mastering his own inner Divine Power and the subsequent achievement of

Gnosis. They also recognized the battle as a motif related to the creation of the

universe by the Primal Dragon, wherein Michael was the Dragon’s Divine Mind

and Michael’s Dragon was its Divine Force. In this scenario the legendary hero was not the enemy of the dragon, but the Divine Mind of the Primal Serpent that

encoded the Serpent’s Divine Power with a blueprint of the forms it would

subsequently condense into as the cosmos crystallized into physical forms. This

transmission of a code is represented by St. Michael – Dragon motif, wherein

Page 4: Gnostic Warrior Manual

Michael inserts his spear into the dragon not to kill or destroy it, but to tame and

shape it.

From an additional perspective, the Gnostic Warrior recognized that he or

she would eventually evolve into earthly manifestations of the Primal Dragon and

that St. Michael, the Divine Mind of the Primal Dragon, would become their inner

guide, and the Divine Force of the Primal Serpent would become the supernatural

Force they wielded to meet all their needs.

The Gnostic Warrior embodies the Dragon and Green ManThe Gnostic Warrior embodies the Dragon and Green ManThe Gnostic Warrior embodies the Dragon and Green ManThe Gnostic Warrior embodies the Dragon and Green Man Many Gnostic Warriors recognized that St. Michael’s reflection was St.

George, the Green Man, so in one sense the Cosmic Warrior was already manifest

on Earth. From their perspective St. George, or Green George, and his unruly

dragon were one united manifestation of the Primal Dragon on Earth. The earliest

western Knighted Order, that of the Knights Templar, were indoctrinated into this

wisdom through the Sufis, and under the guidance of their Islamic mentors also

came to know that their patron St. George was synonymous with Al-Khadir, the

Green Man of the Sufis, who in his turn was synonymous with Karttikeya.

Eventually the Templars inherited the Johannite lineage of Gnostic Warriors from

the Mandaeans from Sri Lanka, wherein all the Grand Masters were incarnations

of the Green Man and wielded the Divine Power and Wisdom of the Primal

Serpent. Their titles often included “Jnana,” a name of Karttikeya meaning

“Gnosis,” or some version of it, such as Yohanan or John.

When the itinerant Mandaean people eventually merged with the Essenes

they produced the sect of Nasoreans or Nazarenes, the “Serpents.” Within this sect of “Serpent” Warriors was born John the Baptist, who founded the western Order

of Johannites (“The Johns” or “those of John”). John the Baptist was succeeded

by Jesus and John the Divine and Mary Magdalene, and then the leadership of the

Order traveled down a succession of Grand Masters named John who continued

to govern the sect until the First Crusade. At that time Hughes de Payen, the

Grand Master of the Gnostic Warrior sect known as the Poor Knights of the

Templar of Solomon, or Knights Templar, was chosen as Grand Master of the

Johannites. The Templars assimilated the Johannite tradition and then, throughout

their ensuing history, the most advanced Knights sought to embody the wisdom

and power of the Green Man as John, which they venerated in the personified

form of their Savior, John the Baptist. At the induction into the Order, most

Templar Knights were given a cord that had been wrapped around John’s head,

which had been discovered during the Fourth Crusade in Constantinople. This

cord forever charged the new Knight with John’s Force and established a

protective link with the Baptist. Later, if he proved himself worthy, the Knight was

brought before the grizzled head during an initiation into the higher mysteries of the Johannites. A great amount of Force emanating from John would then

directly enter the Knight and thereby invest him with the power to accomplish

great feats of courage and achieve the hallowed summit of gnostic awareness.

The Warrior TwinsThe Warrior TwinsThe Warrior TwinsThe Warrior Twins In some parts of the world the Divine Mind and Power of the Cosmic

Dragon were personified as two dragons or serpents, or two male warriors. They

became famous as the ubiquitous Warrior Twins, who were venerated as culture-

bearers and the heroes of humankind. Many civilizations around the globe alluded

to these Twins in their creation myths as being the teachers of the arts of

civilization and accorded them the indigenous names they are known by today, including: the Kumara or Ashwin Twins of India; the Kaberoi Twins of Egypt and

Greece; the Dioscouri of Greece and Rome; the Poyangs of the Hopi Nation;

Child of the Waters and Monster Slayer of the Navaho; the Ahayuta of the Zuni;

Hunapu and Xbalanque, or Quetzlcoatl and Tzcatilipoca of the Central America

tribes.

The early legends of the Twins portrayed the brothers as the most skilled of

warriors who rid the world of nefarious beasts and demonic humans that

threatened humankind and then become the founders of all the martial arts and

many of the warrior clans. The Dioscouri Twins, Castor and Pollux, were known

as the greatest of warriors, as were the Ashwins of India. Hunapu and Xbalenque

became patrons of the Eagle and Jaguar Knights respectively, and the Ahayuta

Twins of the Zuni were the patrons of the Warrior Clan.

With the arrival of dualistic, patriarchal theology approximately 2-3000

years ago, the once amiable Twins were first portrayed in legend as being in

occasional conflict, and later they were recognized as eternal enemies of each

other. The Twin associated with the Divine Mind and Gnosis was recognized as the more spiritual of the two and linked to a Father God in Heaven, while his

brother, the embodiment of the Divine Force, was given the lower worlds for his

kingdom and associated with monstrous dragon-like beasts and called Ahriman,

Belial, Satan, Lucifer and the Devil. In their best known manifestation worldwide

these latter Twins were known as Christ and the Devil.

The Knighted Orders of the Middle East and EuropeThe Knighted Orders of the Middle East and EuropeThe Knighted Orders of the Middle East and EuropeThe Knighted Orders of the Middle East and Europe Within the mystical knighted orders that arose first in the Middle East and

then in Europe following the First Crusade a Grand Prior or Grand Master

assumed the role and duties of the ancient Fisher King. These Masters and Priors

were Human Holy Grail chalices full of the Force like their antecedent monarchs

had been. One such Grand Master was Hasan-i-Sabah, the leader of the Order of Assassins, who revived the line of the ancient Persian Fisher Kings. Hasan renewed

the ancient Persian tradition by acquiring for his headquarters the Castle of Alamut

in the Albourz Mountains, which was once the home of the powerful Persian

Fisher Kings, including the great King Jamshid, the royal “Cup.” Hasan became

known as one of the greatest of Persian alchemists, successfully filling himself and

his knights with the Force. Hasan’s counterpart in the parallel order of Knights

Templar, the Grand Master Hughes de Payen, similarly revived the tradition of

the Fisher Kings of the East when he accepted the Grand Mastership of the

Johannites and became John #70. Afterwards, he governed his knights as an

embodiment of the ancient Fisher King, whose names had included Jnana or

“John.”

FreemasonryFreemasonryFreemasonryFreemasonry The rites and levels of Freemasonry were adopted from the Knights

Templar, and today they can be found to reflect the ancient path of the Gnostic Warrior. The 33 degrees of the Scottish Rite, and the 13 degrees of the York Rite

are based upon the numbers of the fully enlightened Gnostic Knight, 13 and 33.

Thus, when the Freemason has ascended all the degrees he should, technically, be

an alchemically transformed enlightened Gnostic Knight. Unfortunately, since

most alchemy has been expunged from Freemasonry, this is not longer the case.

The Daily Life of the Gnostic Warrior The Daily Life of the Gnostic Warrior The Daily Life of the Gnostic Warrior The Daily Life of the Gnostic Warrior Within the following pages are presented helpful guidelines for

the developing Gnostic Warrior to observe in daily life.

Right CompanyRight CompanyRight CompanyRight Company The most important guideline any Gnostic Warrior can observe is in regards

to the company he or she keeps. Right company supports the Warrior on his or her path to gnosis, while wrong company can be a distraction and completely

take the Warrior off the path. This is why it has been encouraged by the Knighted

Orders and initiatic societies to keep the company of other members of their order

or society.

A Gnostic Warrior should choose associates and friends with whom he or

she you can have regular satsang (spiritual conversation) with and/or share his or

her alchemical rites with.

The Inner Weapons of the Gnostic WarriorThe Inner Weapons of the Gnostic WarriorThe Inner Weapons of the Gnostic WarriorThe Inner Weapons of the Gnostic Warrior To meet the daily challenges encountered by a Gnostic Warrior he or she

should develop an arsenal of inner weapons. Such inner weapons denote the

inner abilities and qualities that a Gnostic Warrior relies upon in meeting life’s

challenges.

The Inner The Inner The Inner The Inner Spear Spear Spear Spear The Inner Spear of a Gnostic Warrior corresponds with his or her gnostic

awareness. From this gnosis consciousness comes guidance from the all-knowing

inner Spirit that can dependably guide a Gnostic Warrior through any crisis. Thus,

the Inner Spear is the best and most reliable weapon for overcoming any

opponent and meeting any obstacle.

The Inner Spear is symbolized by Karttikeya’s Vel. The shaft of his Vel

represents the human spine within which the inner Serpent Power ascends to the

head, and the blade of his Vel denotes the Third Eye of Gnostic Wisdom that is activated by the ascending Force.

Page 8: Gnostic Warrior Manual

The Inner SwordThe Inner SwordThe Inner SwordThe Inner Sword The Inner Sword of a Gnostic Warrior corresponds to his or her inner

discrimination. By utilizing the Inner Sword the Gnostic Warrior is able to cut

through superfluous evidence and information to get to the underlying truth. The

single-edged sharp sword denotes the sharp, single-minded intellect that the

Gnostic Warrior needs to make quick decisions. The razor-sharpness of the Inner

Sword denotes the razor’s edge and Middle Path of the Gnostic Warrior who

seeks to live in harmony and balance with the Divine Will.

The Inner ArrowThe Inner ArrowThe Inner ArrowThe Inner Arrow The Inner Arrow denotes the inner will power of the Gnostic Warrior.

When directed with one-pointed focus and perfect concentration, the Inner Arrow

will hit the center of the target and the goal of the Gnostic Warrior will be

achieved.

Typically, mastership of the Inner Sword and Inner Arrow will occur well

before the Gnostic Warrior has fully mastered his or her Inner Spear; i.e., the

development of his or her intuition will normally arrive at a later stage than will

development of the discrimination and will power. While gnosis is being

developed, the Gnostic Warrior should continue to make decisions through

deliberation and with good discrimination. But when it becomes well-developed,

the Inner Spear will become the principal weapon used by a Gnostic Warrior.

The Inner ShieldThe Inner ShieldThe Inner ShieldThe Inner Shield The Inner Shield is the love and compassion within the heart of the Gnostic

Warrior. When the Gnostic Warrior’s love and compassion is very strong, the

Inner Shield will deflect all attacks and he or she can never be defeated.

The The The The Chivalric Chivalric Chivalric Chivalric Code of the Gnostic WarriorCode of the Gnostic WarriorCode of the Gnostic WarriorCode of the Gnostic Warrior A Gnostic Warrior should devise his or her own Code of Chivalry and stick

to it. However, a Chivalric Code should include be a few traditional mandates,

including:

1. Act towards others as you would want them to act towards you.

2. Protect women, the weak (the young, the old, the infirmed), and the under-

privileged.

3. Offer assistance (money, material resources, guidance) to those in need.

4. Serve humanity by assisting others on their path to Gnosis.

Page 9: Gnostic Warrior Manual

The Taoist Philosophy of the Gnostic WarriorThe Taoist Philosophy of the Gnostic WarriorThe Taoist Philosophy of the Gnostic WarriorThe Taoist Philosophy of the Gnostic Warrior A Gnostic Warrior should walk the “Middle Path” between the extremes of

behavior while embracing the balanced philosophy of Taoism. As most of the

great masters throughout history have demonstrated, the best path is the Middle

Path that exists between the extremes of the male and female principles, or Yin

and Yang. Taoism espouses a lifestyle that is the balance of the male (fiery, active,

intellectual) and female (watery, cool, passive, emotional) principles. Too much

or too little activity can be harmful, just as can too much exposure to either hot or cold, or too much time spent in either light or darkness. Besides living a balanced

outer life, a Gnostic Warrior should also cultivate an inner balance of masculine

and feminine traits. The goal of the Gnostic Warrior is to be prepared for all

challenges, and he or she can only do that when he or she possesses such a perfect

inner balance. The great Gnostic Adept Tukaram Maharaj of India proclaimed his

own perfect inner balance when he stated: “I am so strong I can break a

thunderbolt over my knee, but I am so soft that I would be bruised from lying

down in a bed of rose petals.”

DisciplineDisciplineDisciplineDiscipline The life of the Gnostic Warrior requires discipline in body, mind, emotions

and spirit. In order to keep the physical body fit and healthy, a healthy diet and a

regular exercise regime should be adopted. The mind and emotions should be

kept in check by striving to focus on generating positive and uplifting thoughts and feelings. A good tool for assisting the Gnostic Warrior in being completely

present in the moment and not succumb to extraneous thoughts is regular

meditation. To keep the mind steady, the Gnostic Warrior should adopt the

alchemical and meditational practices outlined in this manual. A Gnostic Warrior

should also daily affirmation that the Infinite Spirit exists within his or her heart

and, therefore, anything can accomplished.

Spiritual PracticesSpiritual PracticesSpiritual PracticesSpiritual Practices Every Gnostic Warrior should observe regular periods of meditation,

contemplation and alchemical, spiritual disciplines. Without regular meditation

and contemplation the mind will be unsteady and the inner centers of gnosis will

remain un-developed. Without alchemical spiritual practices, the inner alchemical

force will remain inactive.

Activating the Gnostic Warrior BodyActivating the Gnostic Warrior BodyActivating the Gnostic Warrior BodyActivating the Gnostic Warrior Body Every day the Gnostic Warrior should observe the below practice to

activate the Gnostic Warrior Body, which is the subtle body composed of the

chakra power centers and the Serpent Fire. This exercise is specially designed to

awaken Kundalini in order for the Gnostic Warrior to alchemically transform and

Page 10: Gnostic Warrior Manual

develop gnosis, as well as for him or her to wield the Force. The practice also

activates the Heart Chakra and Third Eye, two important centers from which

gnosis originates in the human body. The Third Eye acts as an antenna to receive

Gnostic Wisdom, and the Heart Chakra, seat of the inner Spirit, provides the

Gnostic Warrior with his or her true identity and the gnostic revelation of “I am

God,” “I am Spirit,” “I am Infinite.”

For best results this practice should be observed 1-3 times daily. Early morning is best, followed by sunrise and sunset. But any time or place is beneficial.

Step 1:

Sit down on a floor cross legged or cross your legs while seated in a chair.

Put your left hand over your forehead (over Third Eye)

Put your right hand over the lower spine (region of the Kundalini). This creates a

circuit.

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, fairly quickly. Do not

pause between the in-breath and out-breath.

Repeat these in and out breaths 15 times.

While breathing, visualize energy coming up the spine on the out-breath.

On the 15th breath, inhale and hold for a few seconds and then slowly exhale.

Now keep your hands over Third Eye and base of the spine for 15-20 seconds

while inwardly repeating to yourself “Arise Serpent Fire.”

Repeat Step 1

Step 2:

Put your right hand on your heart.

Put your left hand on top of your right hand.

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, fairly quickly. Do not

pause between the in-breath and out-breath.

Breathe into the heart. Repeat breaths 10 times.

On 10th breath inhale, hold a few seconds, then slowly exhale.

Keep hands on heart for 15-20 seconds while inwardly repeating “Awaken

Sophia,” “Awaken the Christ,” or “Awaken Michael.”

Repeat Step 2

Step 3:

Keep your hands on your heart. After you have finished repeating “Awaken the

Christ” (or Sophia or Michael) slowly repeat “Ma Om” to yourself (mentally)

while breathing in through the nose on the syllable Ma and out through your nose on Om. You can also repeat “I Am Love” for some time instead of the mantra, if

you prefer.

Continue the silent repetitions for 5-15 minutes. Your breathing will become

gradually slower and you will slowly drift into a meditative state.

Page 11: Gnostic Warrior Manual

GnosticGnosticGnosticGnostic----Alchemical Meditation PositionsAlchemical Meditation PositionsAlchemical Meditation PositionsAlchemical Meditation Positions There are some standard leg and hand positions that you can assume in

order to stimulate the inner process of alchemy when you meditate. Simply stated,

alchemy is the process of uniting the male and female polarities to generate the

alchemical fire. Since the right and left sides of the body correspond to the male

and female principles, simply by joining them together alchemy is performed. By

using these alchemical positions the Serpent Fire or Kundalini can be activated, and the left and right hemispheres unite so that the Gnostic Warrior can

experience gnostic consciousness and receive guidance from the inner Spirit.

Alchemical Sitting PositionsAlchemical Sitting PositionsAlchemical Sitting PositionsAlchemical Sitting Positions

To unite the two halves of the body the Gnostic Warrior can sit in a cross

legged position on the floor, or upon a bed or cushion, etc. He or she can also sit

on a chair and simply cross the legs. To support the back so you can sit for a long

period of time, either sit against a wall or elevate your buttocks by sitting on a

pillow.

There are a few classic cross legged positions in Hatha Yoga. The simplest is

“Easy Pose,” wherein the feet are tucked under legs. The next one in order of

degree of difficulty is the “Half Lotus,” wherein the right foot rests on the left

thigh (left foot on top of right). The most advanced sitting position is the “Full

Lotus” wherein each foot sits upon the opposite thigh. The left foot should end up

on top of the right foot, so that even though the polarity is united there a slight

dominance given to the female, passive principle. The Full Lotus has many

advantages: It keeps the legs “locked,” and this assists in keeping the mind one-

pointed. It holds in the body’s Force so it can be used for concentration. And

when held in for long enough the Force will heat up and become alchemical fire. The Full Lotus when held for one hour can purify most of the subtle nadis or

meridians in the etheric body, thus keeping the Gnostic Warrior perfectly healthy.

Remember that the first two sitting positions should be mastered – i.e., they

become comfortable to sit in for a long period of time - before practicing the Full

Lotus during meditation. When learning the Full Lotus, begin by holding the

posture for five minutes. When it becomes comfortable for five minutes then add

another five minutes, etc.

Alchemical Hand PositionsAlchemical Hand PositionsAlchemical Hand PositionsAlchemical Hand Positions

To unite the two halves of the body the Gnostic Warrior can also rest his

or her two hands upon the lap, left hand on top of right, in the traditional

Page 12: Gnostic Warrior Manual

Buddha pose. He or she can also rest the hands, palms up, on the right and left

knees while joining your index fingers to your thumbs. This position of the hands

is known as “Chin Mudra” and assists in the activation of the Third Eye so the

Gnostic Warrior can experience gnostic awareness during meditation.

Alchemical Times for MeditationAlchemical Times for MeditationAlchemical Times for MeditationAlchemical Times for Meditation

There are certain times of the day that specially support alchemical

meditation by promoting a yin-yang balance in the body. These are 4-6 am and sunrise and sunset. Between 4-6 am the body is the most balanced in the 24 hour

cycle. Typically, every person breathes predominantly out of the right or left

nostril, thus activating the Pingala or Ida Nadis and their corresponding male or

female principles. Only between 4-6 am does a person breath evenly through

both nostrils, thus creating a balance of the male-female principles and, ultimately,

their union. Sunrise and sunset are also good alchemical times because there is a

balance of light and darkness at those times, which will have the effect of

balancing the yin-yang principles within the body. Meditation should not occur in

the middle of the day or in strong sunlight. Hot and direct sunlight consumes the

inner life force and makes the body predominantly yang.

Gnostic MeditationGnostic MeditationGnostic MeditationGnostic Meditation

Regular meditation will assist the Gnostic Warrior by making the mind

steady and one-pointed. A steady mind will be less likely to succumb to negative

or fearful thinking and be able to make quick decisions. Through meditation the

Gnostic Warrior will also awaken the inner gnosis and learn to hear the guidance that is always coming from Spirit.

There are many forms of meditation a Gnostic Warrior can adopt in accordance

with his or her temperament. They include:

1. One-pointed prayer and worship directed towards an image, a picture, or a

deity.

2. One-pointed meditation on a symbol or on a philosophical idea.

3. One-pointed meditation on some uplifting music or a captivating painting.

4. One-pointed focus on one’s daily work.

This fourth practice of meditation is not suited for everyone. The Gnostic Warrior

must be able to completely shut out all extraneous thoughts and focus solely on

his or her work. Thus, the work must be completely suited to and continuously

enjoyable to the warrior. He or she must also be able to give up concerns

regarding the fruits of the work, and accept exactly what is gained through it,

otherwise such concerns will disturb their mental stillness.

5. One-pointed repetition of a mantra. This final form of meditation is often the easiest to learn and practice for the

Gnostic Warrior. A mantra consists of one or more Sanscrit syllables that when

mentally repeated or vocalized will generate a vibration in the body that will

catapult the Gnostic Warrior into a meditative state. The more a mantra is used,

the more powerful it becomes as a meditation tool. This is because the user of the

Page 13: Gnostic Warrior Manual

mantra plays a role in empowering it. The Gnostic Warrior should find one

mantra that he or she feels most comfortable with and continue to use it with

each meditation.

Alchemical MantrasAlchemical MantrasAlchemical MantrasAlchemical Mantras

One of the best mantras to use is OM NAMAH SHIVAYA, meaning

“Salutations to Shiva, the Infinite Spirit.” Each of the six syllables of the mantra

correspond to one of the lower six chakras and one of the five elements, so its repetition will also activate those power centers and purify the five elements that

constitute the physical body. During meditation repeat this mantra silently

(mentally). Repeat once on the in-breath and once on the out-breath.

Two-syllable mantras are very powerful tools for leading the Gnostic

Warrior into meditation since they rapidly slow down the breathing. Because of

the breath-mind connection, slowing the breath will naturally slow down the

mind. These mantras include Ham-sa, So-Ham, and Ma-Om. Ham-sa and So-Ham

are versions of the Sanscrit mantra Ahamsa, meaning “I am That.” Ma-Om is a

gnostic mantra that resonates within both the heart and Third Eye. The first

syllable of each of these two-syllable mantras is repeated silently (mentally) on the

in-breath and the second syllable is repeated silently on the out-breath. If the

mind of the Gnostic Warrior is very active when he or she begins meditation, the

longer mantra of OM NAMAH SHIVAYA can be used first initially to effectively

calm and slow down the mind, and then a two-syllable mantra can be used once

the mind has become calmer.

AffirmationAffirmationAffirmationAffirmationssss

Affirmations are a powerful adjunct to meditation. Once the conscious

mind is calmed through meditation then the inward repetition of positive,

uplifting affirmations can easily travel into the unconscious mind. They will remain

there following meditation and to influence the conscious mind throughout the

day. One important positive affirmation for the Gnostic Warrior to repeat daily is:

“The Infinite Spirit exists within me and I am able to manifest all my goals.”

Another is “I am a powerful Gnostic Warrior with all the inner weapons I need to

meet the challenges in life.” And another is: “I meet all my challenges in life with

both ease and peace of mind.”

Mental DisciplineMental DisciplineMental DisciplineMental Discipline

When the mind of the Gnostic Warrior is unsteady and descends into

negative thinking, the Warrior should always be ready to replace negative

thoughts with those that are positive and supportive. If he or she is unable to do

this, then the Gnostic Warrior should consider spending some time raising his or her vibration through chanting, repeating mantras, meditating and performing

alchemical practices. An empathic Warrior may need to remove him or herself

from people in order to clear the auric field from the negative energies received

from others. Crystals are clearing, so meditation in a crystal grid can be healing, as

can a peaceful walk in nature and/or through a vortex.

Page 14: Gnostic Warrior Manual

Pyramids and Crystal GridsPyramids and Crystal GridsPyramids and Crystal GridsPyramids and Crystal Grids To enhance your meditation you can set up a pyramid and/or a grid of

crystals. The pyramid shape results from uniting two geometric forms associated

with the polarity, so it will naturally balance and unite the polarity of a Gnostic

Warrior who sits within one. A pyramid is produced by uniting a cube, the three

dimensional form of the square, the symbol of matter, with a tetrahedron, the

three dimensional shape of the triangle, the symbol of the fire of Spirit. The union

of the male/female polarity as Spirit and matter within a pyramid produces a

version of the fiery, transformative Kundalini, which rises up its center; thus the

name, pyr-a-mid, “Fire in the middle.” If a Gnostic Warrior sits or lies down in a

pyramid its transformative power will alchemically work to engender a union of

the polarity in his or her body and thereby transport them into a meditative state.

A crystal grid in the shape of a hexagon or octagon with the crystals at the

points with terminations pointing inwards will also serve to unite the polarity

within a Gnostic Warrior when he or she sits or reclines within such a grid for rest

and/or meditation. While lying down within such a grid the Gnostic Warrior can

also place crystals over the chakra centers to both activate and balance them. For optimum results set up a pyramid and place a crystal grid inside of it.

This will create a very powerful meditation chamber. Lie down or sit up within

this chamber while holding your Holy Stone and you will have a powerful

alchemically induced meditation experience.

Self InquirySelf InquirySelf InquirySelf Inquiry

One practice that can calm and still the mind, as well as assist the Gnostic

Warrior in achieving self knowledge, is the discipline of Self Inquiry. To perform

this practice the Gnostic Warrior should begin by asking him or herself, “What am

I?” Contemplation on this question, and the inquiry that ensues, will often have

the effect of stilling the mind. The mental inquiry should lead the Warrior from

the most physical to the most etheric levels of his or her being. In succession, the

Gnostic Warrior should ask:

“Am I this physical body?”

“Am I these emotions?”

“Am I these thoughts?” etc, etc.

Page 15: Gnostic Warrior Manual

Each question will result in a resounding “NO” when the Warrior realizes that

when the part of self under examination is absent he or she does not cease to

exist. When the Warrior is asleep and not aware of the physical body, for

example, he or she still exists. When the emotions and mind are still, he or she

also continues to exist. So the true nature of the Gnostic Warrior transcends these

levels. Ultimately, it will become clear that the essential part of the Gnostic

Warrior that must always be present is pure awareness, i.e., the underlying,

witness consciousness. When the Gnostic Warrior realizes that the witness consciousness is his or her eternal essence and true self, the inquiry is complete and

he or she can then dwell in pure, untainted awareness.

“I am not the Doer”“I am not the Doer”“I am not the Doer”“I am not the Doer” Once the Gnostic Warrior begins to know him or herself as the eternal

witness consciousness, it will also become apparent that he or she is not the

“Doer.” The real “Doer” is the Goddess, which as pure energy has condensed to

become a person’s ephemeral components of mind, emotions, and body. The

Goddess has even become a person’s ego, which is also impermanent and

composed of energy. The Goddess has accomplished all the activity in the universe

since the time of Big Bang, and all things continue to happen under her guidance

and locomotion. She contracted her life force form to become the physical body,

mind and emotions of the Gnostic Warrior, and She continually fuels and

animates these parts of self with Her nurturing life force. As the conscious life

force, the Goddess digests the Gnostic Warrior’s food, replaces his or her cells,

pumps the heart, etc. The Goddess’s commanding influence on body and mind becomes completely evident to the Gnostic Warrior after he or she learns to dwell

in the transcendental witness consciousness, where the dance of the Goddess

spinning her web (the Matrix) can be witnessed without taking any part in it. He

or she can then watch as the Goddess drives all the bodily processes, as well as the

mind, emotions and the muscular movements involved in everyday living. The

Gnostic Warrior can then truly proclaim “I am not the Doer.” He or she will then

pray to the Goddess daily for protection and sustenance.

Activating GnosisActivating GnosisActivating GnosisActivating Gnosis The Goddess is also Sophia, your inner gnosis and guide. Sophia, meaning

“wisdom,” is the wisdom that emanates from your inner Spirit. Thus, the Goddess

is your wisdom and power but not the true you, the inner, transcendental Spirit.

To receive guidance from the Goddess you can simply ask questions during

your meditation and wait for an answer. You will know it is the Goddess speaking

to you because the answer will arise with an accompanying “AHA!” that resonates

throughout your body. At first the “AHA” in your communications may be subtle, even hardly perceptible, but the more you mediate and ask questions the more

obvious and clear it will become. Remember: guidance does not come only as

words, it may instead come as inspiration to take some course of action. You may

be thinking of moving ahead with some project when all of a sudden you feel a

Page 16: Gnostic Warrior Manual

rush of inspiration telling you that you are on track with your plans.

To receive guidance from the Goddess you can also call her forth by her

various names. There are many of them to choose from. You can also repeat

many of Her names at once as the 108 Names of the Goddess, which is a very

powerful and reliable aid for receiving messages and inspiration from the

Goddess. Both the 108 Names and some other assorted names of the Goddess can

be found at the end of this guide. These names consist of Sanscrit letters that

activate petals on various chakras, and each petal is associated with a different power or ability. All 50 letters of the Sanscrit alphabet are intoned when

repeating the 108 Names of the Goddess. Therefore, solely by its daily repetition

can the Gnostic Warrior activate all the petals, all chakras, and all his or her inner

powers.

The Vision QuestThe Vision QuestThe Vision QuestThe Vision Quest To initially connect to Sophia, i.e., the inner Gnosis, or to refresh that

connection, the Gnostic Warrior should find time to exclusively devote to

alchemical spiritual disciplines. One such observance which can be embarked upon

with the specific intent of continually practicing these disciplines is the Native

American rite of the Vision Quest.

Typically the Vision Quest is observed in nature, in the wilderness or

desert, and occurs over three days and three nights. With nothing but a bed roll

and water, a Gnostic Warrior can use his or her time to exclusively observe

spiritual practices designed to raise his or her vibration and unite with Spirit.

Often, during the second or third day, a new revelation, answer, or vision will present itself to the meditating Warrior.

For the Gnostic Warrior the Vision Quest has a secondary benefit. It assists

the Gnostic Warrior in transcending his or her fears. When the Warrior realizes he

or she is all alone in the wilderness many fears regarding self-protection suddenly

arise. The Gnostic Warrior must then learn to replace such fears with a renewed

faith in the protecting nature of the inner Spirit and the Great Spirit or Goddess

that surrounds them.

Academic StudyAcademic StudyAcademic StudyAcademic Study The academic study of the Gnostic Warrior should cover a wide range of

helpful topics, including the mechanics of living in the world. Even a peripheral

study of business practices is helpful. Spiritual study should include the lives and

The Bhagavad GitaThe Bhagavad GitaThe Bhagavad GitaThe Bhagavad Gita: Scripture of the Gnostic Warrior: Scripture of the Gnostic Warrior: Scripture of the Gnostic Warrior: Scripture of the Gnostic Warrior The definitive scripture for the Gnostic Warrior is the Bhagavad Gita, the

“Song of God.” The Gnostic Warrior should make the study of this scripture a

basic part of his or her daily contemplation.

At the heart of the Bhagavad Gita is a conversation on the battlefield of

Kurukshetra in ancient India between Arjuna, the archetypal Gnostic Warrior, and

Krishna, his inner Spirit who is depicted as Arjuna’s chariot driver. During the

dialogue, Arjuna, becomes despondent at the realization that he was about to slay some of his own relatives, but he is able to resume his role of warrior after

receiving instruction from Krishna regarding the Dharma (code, modus operandi,

lifestyle) of a noble Gnostic Warrior. All facets of the Gnostic Warrior lifestyle,

including diet, alchemy and meditation are covered in detail during the ensuing

conversation.

One of the principal lines in the Bhagavad Gita that aptly sums up the

entire text is “Yoga is skill in action.” This means that by using good discrimination

in all his or her actions, the Gnostic Warrior is performing yoga and will evolve

spiritually. Another important and essential passage reads “Prakriti (the Goddess)

is the performer of all actions and the Self (the inner Spirit, true Self) is actionless.”

Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts All martial arts have their respective benefits, however it is encouraged that

the Gnostic Warrior study a martial art that incorporates a spiritual emphasis. Such

martial art schools include:

Akkido: A purely defensive school with a spiritual philosophy

Kung-Fu: A school of with a spiritual philosophy.

Tai Chi: A very soft-style martial art that teaches Taoist philosophy.

Dealing with Fear Dealing with Fear Dealing with Fear Dealing with Fear A knowledge of Martial Arts is a great benefit for a Gnostic Warrior in

overcoming fears regarding his or her physical safety. But a Gnostic Warrior must

also be able to overcome all his or her other fears to live in equanimity. Nothing

cripples a Gnostic Warrior like fear. Only when a Warrior has transcended most of

his or her fears can their consciousness remain calm enough to hear the gnostic

guidance coming from the inner Spirit or Goddess Sophia. This guidance,

symbolized by the Spear, is the Gnostic Warrior’s greatest weapon. The fear experienced in the present moment is often related to traumatic

experiences from earlier in the current life and other lifetimes. Fear also results

from feeling separate and alone from others and a lack of trust in the protecting

and nurturing power of the Goddess. The development of the polar opposite

emotion of love can offset these feelings. Through alchemical spiritual practices

and service to others a Gnostic Warrior awakens the inner centers of love and

thereby overcomes the natural sense of separation that accompanies a physical

body and ego. An accompanying sense of love for the Goddess will also intensify

one’s feelings of support and protection.

Emotional release therapy can assist a Gnostic Warrior in releasing those

traumatic experiences that are generating fearful responses to life. Such release can

occur through psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and energy work, including massage,

acupuncture or Reiki. These modalities effectively move and help release unhealed

emotions that have become blocked energy in the meridians and nadis of the

etheric body. When these blockages are moved and released, so is their

corresponding emotions. A Gnostic Warrior can also overcome his or her fears by intentionally putting him or herself in circumstances that evoke them. Often

intensely experiencing a fear is the best remedy for defusing and releasing it.

Fear that exists within a Gnostic Warrior from lack of trust in a higher

power can also be overcome by consciously trusting the Goddess and Her Son on

a daily basis to protect, guide and nurture him or her. In times of stress, hardship

and danger, the Gnostic Warrior can call upon the Goddess and Her Son for

support and protection. The Goddess is the Matriarch of the Gnostic Warrior Path

and is always there to support those who call upon Her. The Goddess’s Son is the

model Gnostic Warrior known as Karttikeya, Michael, or Al-Khadir. He is also

always ready to assist one on the Gnostic Warrior path – which he himself first

taught.

Fear of danger to ones physical form can also be overcome by learning

some self survival techniques. A Gnostic Warrior should have knowledge of how

to survive alone in any environment, including the desert, the wilderness, high in

the mountains, and even in snow and ice-covered regions.

Finally, fear can also be overcome through mystical experience during which the Gnostic Warrior recognizes his or her eternal nature. Astral travel and

out of body experiences will reveal to the Gnostic Warrior that he or she is more

than a physical form and will, therefore, survive any harm to their physical body.

These expansive mystical experiences are an essential part of all gnostic paths.

DietDietDietDiet for a Gnostic Warrior for a Gnostic Warrior for a Gnostic Warrior for a Gnostic Warrior A Gnostic Warrior should eat a diet that is right for his or her constitution

and lifestyle, and one that also promotes spiritual work. In general, the amount of

food consumed should be consistent with the daily amount of energy spent

through physical, emotional and mental activity. Too much food will consume the

life force (including the Kundalini, a high frequency prana) needed for spiritual

work. If the Gnostic Warrior eats too much one meal he or she should reduce

intake in the following one or two meals.

Eat for your ConstitutionEat for your ConstitutionEat for your ConstitutionEat for your Constitution A Gnostic Warrior will possess either a Vata, Kapha or Pitta body type and

constitution. A Vata ConstitutionVata ConstitutionVata ConstitutionVata Constitution or body type is thin, wiry, and “airy.” There is a

predominance of the air element in his or her constitution. A Vata person is

mercurial, intellectual, and often quiet or introverted, although he or she can also

be garrulous and animated. He or she suffers from a weakness of the digestive

system, especially in the intestines, and is prone to accumulating an abundance of

internal gas. A person with a Vata Constitution should consume a diet that is easy

to digest and made up of a predominance of grains, fruits and vegetables. Sweet

carbohydrates and easily digested meats are fine as long they are not consumed in

too great an abundance. Milk products are good in order to keep flesh on a Vata

body and calm the overactive nervous system. Beans and legumes can be

problematical. Spicy foods can assist the weak digestive system, but they may be

too stimulating for some Vata Constitutions.

A Kapha ConstitutionKapha ConstitutionKapha ConstitutionKapha Constitution is one which possesses a predominance of the earth and water elements. There is a tendency to gain weight easily for a Gnostic

Warrior with this body type, and the muscles are doughy and not usually very

well defined. A person with a Kapha Consitution usually moves slow, is never a

“morning person”, and needs a greater amount of sleep than those with other

body types. In order to balance the earth and water elements, the Gnostic

Warrior with Kapha Constitution should eat salty and drying foods, and limit their

consumption of carbohydrates. Lean meats, vegetables, fish and fruits are good for

this constitution. Spicy foods can help to balance the earth and water elements,

but carbohydrates and sweets will exacerbate them and are counter-indicated.

A Pitta ConstitutionPitta ConstitutionPitta ConstitutionPitta Constitution is the most athletic of the three. It possesses an

abundance of the fire element. Gnostic Warriors with this constitution produce

fiery energy that can be channeled into athleticism, abundant activity and

creativity, but also aggressiveness and anger. Pitta people have well defined

muscles, as well as good, efficient digestion, since fire is the element that digests

food, and they can often eat most anything without suffering from digestive disorders. In order to balance their fire, Pitta people should limit their

consumption of meats, salty, spicy and drying foods.

of a Gnostic Warrior. This includes the alchemical Serpent Power, which is a high

frequency life force. A depletion of the life force will result in lack of both energy and inspiration, and give rise to lethargy and a slow, dull mind. Spiritual progress

will be slowed, and it will be very hard to experience inner peace, gnosis and an

ecstatic union with the Divine.

work, so it should be principally consumed by a Gnostic Warrior. Sattvic foods

include easy to digest foods such as fruits, grains and vegetables. Sattvic foods are

usually sweet and/or lightly spicy and benefit the water and earth elements of the

body. They make a person calm and peaceful and promote contemplation and

meditation. By contrast, Rajasic foods are fiery and heat producing foods, such as

meats and overly spicy foods that make a Gnostic Warrior active and aggressive,

and Tamasic foods are overly processed, extra rich and hard to digest foods that

make a person lethargic and uninspired

. When to Eat DairyWhen to Eat DairyWhen to Eat DairyWhen to Eat Dairy

During times when a Gnostic Warrior is involved with intensive sadhana

(spiritual practices) and therefore generating a lot of inner alchemical power, or

Kundalini heat, it is important for him or her to consume dairy foods. Kundalini

feeds off of the inner liquids (seminal fluids, hormones, etc.). Inner fluids and flesh

can become consumed quickly during intensive spiritual work unless certain foods,

such as dairy products, replace them quickly. If the flesh is not continually

nourished, then once it has been consumed by the Kundalini the Serpent Fire will

feed off of what is known as the ojas (bone marrow) and jing (seminal fluids).

This will give rise to a dangerous deficiency of the immune system and an

invitation to a host of disease syndromes that are nearly impossible to overcome.

Jing, which is one’s inner essence stored in the kidneys, fuels all the inner organs.

When it is depleted the inner organs become weak and inactive. When the Jing is

completely consumed, death is either near or has arrived.

Nourishing Nourishing Nourishing Nourishing and Increasing and Increasing and Increasing and Increasing the Forcethe Forcethe Forcethe Force As stated previously, an abundance of life force is imperative for spiritual work.

Here are some basic guidelines for nourishing the life force on a daily basis:

1. 1. 1. 1. SleepSleepSleepSleep. A Gnostic Warrior should get 6-8 hours of sleep a night. Too much or

too little sleep can weaken the life force.

2. 2. 2. 2. ActivityActivityActivityActivity. Too much activity will overly consume the life force. A Gnostic

Warrior should get the right amount of activity for him in accordance with his or her constitution. A Warrior with a Vata Constitution requires less physical exercise

than one with a Pitta Constitution. A Kapha Constitution person requires an

amount of physical exertion consistent with their mass. If they are very over-

weight they need to have less physical activity than those who are of normal

weight. The right amount of activity will saturate the blood with nourishing life

force and leave a person feeling tired but not exhausted.

3. Tai Chi and 3. Tai Chi and 3. Tai Chi and 3. Tai Chi and YogaYogaYogaYoga – Both Tai Chi and Yoga can greatly help to increase the life

force. Through performing Tai Chi in the morning, when the chi in the air is at its

peak, the Gnostic Warrior can assimilate an abundance of the Force both from the

ground through the feet, as well as from the air. The asanas of Hatha Yoga, when

combined with proper breathing, will have the natural effect of both moving and

increasing the Force.

4444. . . . Stress.Stress.Stress.Stress. Emotional stress is one of the greatest contributing factors in weakening a

person’s life force. Emotional stress will both create blockages in the flow of the

life force and consume the jing. When emotional stress is experienced ongoingly it

will consume the inner jing fluids that are the raw materials being transformed by the body into life force.

5555. Sex.. Sex.. Sex.. Sex. To much sex with ejaculation depletes the jing (sexual fluids, hormones),

which is the body’s fluid essence that supports the production of life force and

Kundalini. By contrast, discipline and abstinence in sexual relations will nourish

and build up the jing to a degree that it produces fire which can bring sexual

desires into the mind. Sexual abstinence and celibacy is only required among those

Gnostic Knights involved in intensive spiritual activities because at that time they

are creating copious amounts of Kundalini power that feeds off the jing. If the jing

is depleted at such times the Kundalini is likely to feed off the bone marrow or

“ojas” and this could seriously damage the person’s immune system and any

reserves of energy.

6666. Slow, controlled breathing.. Slow, controlled breathing.. Slow, controlled breathing.. Slow, controlled breathing. Slow and controlled breathing into the lower

abdomen or Dantien, the point just below the navel, will increase the life force

power in a Gnostic Warrior. He or she should hold the breath in the Dantien for a

count of five and then slowly exhale. This practice will transmit life force down to

the kidneys, which will then distribute it to the other organs (the kidneys are recognized as the root of all the organs). When held for a certain period of time

the retention of life force in the lower part of the body can also turn into fire that

awakens the Kundalini force at the base of the spine. Controlled breathing

practices should be observed first thing in the morning when the life force is more

7777. Pranayama and Chi Gung. Pranayama and Chi Gung. Pranayama and Chi Gung. Pranayama and Chi Gung. These are controlled breathing practices that the

Gnostic Warrior should daily observe principally in the morning to increase the

Force.

8888. Mantra repetition. . Mantra repetition. . Mantra repetition. . Mantra repetition. All mantras contain Force, especially those of a sacred

language like Sanscrit or Hebrew, and those that have been repeated by their

owner over a long period of time. Moreover, if the mantra comes from an

enlightened spiritual teacher it will be full of the Master’s Force. Thus, the Force contained by a mantra is contingent on its language, where it comes from, and

how often the practitioner has used it. It is good for the Gnostic Warrior to repeat

mantras each morning in order to begin his or her day full of the Force. A mantra

should be repeated a certain number of sacred repetitions, or groups of mantras,

as in the 108 Names of the Goddess, or with mantras many verses (stotra

mantras), like the Bhagavad Gita, can be repeated. The 108 or 1000 Names of the

Goddess (see end of manual) will fill the Warrior with the Force of the Goddess.

They will also fill the Gnostic Warrior with inspiration from the Goddess and

draw Her protection and assistance in meeting life’s needs and responsibilities.

Moving the ForceMoving the ForceMoving the ForceMoving the Force Besides nourishing the life force a Gnostic Warrior should also keep it

flowing. The life force moves within subtle energy channels in the etheric body

known as nadis (Hindu) and meridians (Chinese). When it becomes blocked then

emotional, mental and physical ailments can result. To restore health the movement of the life force must be restored. To keep the life force flowing

optimally and/or to restore its flow, consider the following:

Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi:Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi:Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi:Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi: These are two excellent disciplines for keeping the life

force flowing optimally. They are traditionally performed in the morning when

the life force is strong in the air; thus, they not only regulate the flow of the life

force but nourish it as well.

Exercise:Exercise:Exercise:Exercise: Moderate exercise will move the life force and restore its movement.

Too much or too little exercise can, however, both block and deplete the life

force.

Acupuncture and Massage:Acupuncture and Massage:Acupuncture and Massage:Acupuncture and Massage: These are two excellent healing modalities that are

designed to restore the movement of the life force. Massage moves the life force

through stroking motions applied to the physical tissues, and brakes up blockages

by loosening tight muscles. Acupuncture uses metal needles inserted directly into

the meridians to unblock the life force and resume its proper movement. The

needles act as conduits to either release blocked and congested life force by moving it out of the meridians, or they increase life force by moving it from the

outside and conducting it in to the meridians.

Page 25: Gnostic Warrior Manual

Stress: Stress: Stress: Stress: Stress is one of the greatest offenders for proper life force movement. Stress

stops the proper flow of life force, which then causes tightness in the muscles,

body tissues and/or disturbs the proper functioning of the internal organs.

Prolonged stress can cause permanent muscular and tissue tightness in an area of

the body that is continually effected and/or severe inner organ disturbance or

failure.

Directing the ForceDirecting the ForceDirecting the ForceDirecting the Force As embodiments of the Infinite Spirit, all humans possess the power to

create and manifest their desires. The personal mind and life force of a human is a

microcosm of the Divine Mind and Divine Power of Spirit which at the beginning

of time manifested the entire universe. Just as the Divine Mind emanated the

Divine Force, a spiral of creative power is continually emanating from the Spirit

and mind located inside a person’s heart. As the Chinese say, “the heart is the seat

of the mind.”

To efficiently manifest the life force emanating from a Gnostic Warrior

must be strong and abundant. The speed and efficiency of manifestation will

depend on the amount of time the Gnostic Warrior spends giving the object of

desire his or her one-pointed mental focus.

When focused, the Gnostic Warrior will send into the universe his or her

thought forms to be manifested. These thought forms are magnified by the

Warrior’s personal life force, and they can be further magnified by the use of wands, staffs and hand-held crystals, or by sitting or standing within a vortex or

pyramid. When using wands the Gnostic Warrior should point his or her tool in

all four directions while visualizing the object of his or her desire.

The thought forms of the Gnostic Warrior receive assistance in their

manifestation through the vocalization of the syllable OM. The OM is known in

India as the “Pranava,” meaning “that which produces prana (life force).” When

OM is vocalized it will produce additional life force to carry the thought form

into the world and promote its manifestation. The OM is the sound-syllable of the

Goddess, whose form body is the Sri Yantra, the geometrical form produced by

the OM vibration. The OM is the Divine Power of the Infinite Spirit, which is the

Goddess. Thus, through vocalizing the OM the Gnostic Warrior is invoking or

summoning the Goddess as life force to assist in the successful manifestation of his

or her object of desire.

A thought form can also be empowered by an emotion. After

visualizing and inwardly experiencing the joy of successfully

manifesting the chosen object, the Gnostic Warrior should then

vocalize the OM mantra. This will send both the thought and emotion

of the successfully manifested object of desire into the world. The life

force will then be encoded to accelerate its manifestation.

108 Names of the Goddess, the Divine Mother This is a selection of names from the Shri Lalita Sahasranam, The Thousand Names of the Devi, which is very ancient and has its roots in Lemuria, the primeval Goddess civilization. You can start your regular repetition of this chant by first learning to repeat the first 18 mantras. Then increase to 52, and then 108. The more you repeat this chant the easier and more powerful it becomes. It will eventually fill you with the power of the Goddess while activating all your chakras. It will give you both inspiration and gnostic guidance. It is, therefore, an excellent chant to do the first thing in the morning before beginning your day.
