Commitments of the Ego or ‘I’

Commitments or Plans

Most of the egos or “I’s” that we have, have their plans or commitments. We know some of them and some of them we don’t know.


Plans/Commitments of the ‘I’ we Know

The plans that we do know are the ones that being identified with the ego or by being a willing accomplice of the desires of the ego we with develop in our mind, using the imagination, the information that we have and the reasoning of the mind.


Plans/Commitments of the ‘I’ that we don’t Know

There are other plans or commitments that we don’t know about and they are the difficult ones to deal with as they catch us off guard and most of the time we only know about them after we have fallen victim to those plans.

This only happens if the ego is very large and relatively unknown or unobserved by us. Master Samael said that the ego has secret commitments and that those commitments are fulfilled under the level of our conscious awareness. The egos to fulfil their commitments use telepathy to arrange the various recurrences that are used to fulfil these commitments.


Don’t Create the Plan

To help ourselves in the death of the ego we are working a very good thing is to not create these plans or commitments. Observe and become aware that the ‘I’ wants to use your mind to create a plan or commitment to fulfil an idea or desire, but then just let that go. Don’t allow yourself to think or better said don’t allow your mind to be used to create the plan.


To Die Psychologically we have to Release the Plan

We can’t die in any ego if it is there making new plans and commitments. The fact that it makes plans and commitments is a very sure sign that, that ego is very well and alive. A person for example that is giving up life or in other words a person who is dying does not make plans for tomorrow or the next day or the next. So it should be with regards to the case of the ego when it is dying.


Conclusion

Stop New Plans

Stop the egos that we know from planning and creating new commitments, but if a plan has been made then become aware of it and release it.

Don’t Release Equals Stagnation

If we don’t release the plans that we have made with the ego, we will stagnate. The plans keep the ego alive and full of hope. As we know hope is a powerful force so the ego’s plans keep it strong and ever-present in our human machine.

Decisive Step Toward Death

So if we can neutralise the hope of the ego and release its plans we are moving ahead in its dissolution Toward the death of the ego this is a very decisive step indeed.


End.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
