Re: Judaim...

I understand that the essence of the Great Work is similar in many systems/paths, Judaism included, so maybe these views are not that different?

Also, my view of the Great Work is more akin to uncovering what is already there, by going beyond illusory concepts (i.e. realising that there is very little if anything that is permanent in the individual (Buddhist view)) and realising consciously the reality of who we are. :)

...how is this different to say, Judaism, that also speaks of purifying oneself through various incarnations in order to become pure and God-like??

[Infoburst: Can you be a little more forthcoming Leyla? Rattling off staccatto questions without telling us why you want to know the answers may not help you get them. Marabas says The Great Work is the ultimate aim of all Mystics and is the attempt to put one's whole life into refining the Self so that the Conscious Mind can contact and liberate the Soul. It is the very best part of humanity and is something we ALL have inside us . It is the kernel of Conscience and the root of all Ethics. ALL mystical paths have the same aim, whatever religious dogma overlays them. To start learning how to contact your inner self and develop this faculty you should use Marabas's

I have different path but in essence agree with 888.

My aim is to consciously realise my innate divinity. This implies: 1) self-knowledge = knowing who/what I really and who/what I am not; 2) unity with All, 3) achieving internal detachment to realise this.

Dear Leya, Hannah, and other fellow. Three requests-
I took an oath, to aid my fellow aspirant, if asked: I shall, as,
and when, able. I am not a natural Teacher. This subject must be expressed carefully. I, right now, however, MUST work, hard and fast. I shall return, and try a basic explanation.
My will is to unite with Godhead, Asar-un Nefer:- Myself made perfect, my true innermost will: Godhead.
If you will, consider that, and my oath, as stated above.
In essence, that is The Great Work-Yet it deserves a far more
exstensive explanation.
I'll be back!
