True Adepts Never Forgive Anyone

Forgiveness is a very important quality for those who have just begun their magical training. The more you advance along the magical path, however, the less relevant forgiveness becomes. When you reach adepthood, forgiveness has no relevance. Adepts never forgive anyone. 

This probably sounds absurd to you, and if so, that is a good thing. You understand that a true adept would be very mature, and you understand that forgiving is a mature activity. It only makes sense that true adepts would forgive others quite frequently. However, if you really analyze what forgiveness means, then it will be easier to understand why I can claim with a straight face that true adepts never forgive anyone. 

Forgiveness means letting go of your animosity towards those who have hurt you. In order to forgive a person, you must first feel animosity towards that person. However, since adepts never feel animosity towards anyone, they have no animosity to let go of, and therefore cannot forgive. 

In PME, Bardon explains that an adept is someone who has reached the level of magical advancement and spiritual maturity corresponding to the Sphere of the Sun. This sphere is associated with unconditional love. Or, as one adept put it, this is the sphere that teaches you how to "find in your heart a sea of love and compassion so deep that something of it can flow into the world without your feeling any loss." You cannot harbor animosity towards anyone and simultaneously love them. If you have unconditional love, then this means you love all people, even if they have hurt you. It means there is never any need to forgive anyone, because there is never any animosity within you towards others.

    Quite the intelligent title I must admit, I love how the article was layed out first making such a controversial claim then showing how it is true but not in the first sense the reader understood it.

    I believe we can see examples of this is stories about famous adepts such as prophets and how they endured tortue and suffering while praying for their torturers to find salvation. Salvation of the far more hurtful suffering than the physical torture the prophets endured. The root suffering that causes one to hate another, to harm another and to be jealous of another.

      Yes, throughout the ages there have been many highly spiritually evolved people who have demonstrated unconditional love, even to their torturers. One good example is Saint Seraphim of Sarov, who was once beaten up by thieves. As a result of this incident, he had a permanently hunched back. However, when the thieves were captured and brought to court, he begged the judge to have mercy on them.

How Will the Implosion of the Titan Affect the Bardon Community?

Image
  This is a post I've been meaning to write ever since the Titan imploded, but didn't have the time to do so until now. You may wonder, after reading the title, what the implosion of the Titan has to do with Hermetics. The answer is... a lot actually.  If we examine the reasons the Titan exploded, most of them boil down to Stockton Rush ignoring safety precautions. Any quick glance around the Bardon community, however, will show that a large portion of Bardonists also ignore safety precautions. What do I mean by this? If you read the writings of Bardon, and the writings of adepts like William Mistele and Rawn Clark who have worked through Bardon's system, one thing you'll find is that they warn many times of the dangers of attempting practices you aren't ready for. If you're only on the beginning steps of IIH, don't attempt practices like astral wandering, which are taught at the more advanced steps. If you haven't yet worked through at least the first e

Five Considerations for Unvaccinated Bardonists

This is a post I've been meaning to write for a while. When I take a look at my reasons for failing to write this post earlier, I find myself with some interesting insights about the negative and weak parts of my personality, the parts reflected in my black soul mirror. In Step 3 of IIH, Bardon mentions that courage is one of the four pillars of Solomon's Temple. I have been aware for a while now of the many deaths resulting from COVID-19, but despite knowing that this is a matter of life or death, I still hesitated for such a long time to write this post. So much for courage! First off, let me be clear that this post is not me telling you to get vaccinated. Every choice you make generates karma. This includes not just every choice to do something, but also every choice to not do something. In his essay "How to Speak Saturn," William Mistele discusses the idea of taking responsibility for your karma. For me, taking responsibility for your karma starts with taking resp
