Characteristics of the Motor Centre (164)

Introduction

The motor centre is a very important part of our physical life. In fact if our motor centre were shut down, our physical life would really stop. It is certainly for the benefit of our physical life worth studying the motor centre, because it is really our physical life and what we do with it, gives us our results in life.


Learning

What we learn, is deposited in the motor centre. We have many actions and skills in the motor centre which have been intentionally taught to the motor centre. We are not born with them, though this is the case with the instinctive centre. The instinctive centre already comes with data built into it, whereas the motor centre does not have that data.


Memory

The motor centre has its own memory. That it how it remembers actions even when the mind forgets. We drive with this memory.


Sign of Physical Life

In relation to the physical world it is the most important centre. In fact movement which is controlled by the motor centre is one of the first signs of life.


The Word

The word belongs to the motor centre. What we say and don’t say brings us karmic consequences. We have to move to speak. No movement no speech.


Result of Intellect and Emotion

The motor centre is the depository of the intellect and the emotion or in other words it is the result of the intellectual and emotional centres. The body follows the mind. In fact the motor centre can work alone once it has the full data necessary to act programmed into it. Without motor memory the motor centre works with the intellect and emotion.

It is the slowest centre and it is found in the upper part of the spinal cord. We waste a lot of energy with the motor centre.


Third Man- Motor Centre Man

There are motor centre people who are great because they get things done. They are not so lazy in movement.


Ego in the Motor Centre

We have the ego in each centre, when the ego gets into the motor centre that is when it enters the physical world. That is when the process of cause and effect is unfolded for us in our favour or against us.


Observation

The motor centre is the first thing that we would start to observe. It is also the first thing that we learn to relax as well. Breathing is the motor centre.


Easiest Centre to Control

It is the easiest centre to control as well. It is what people can see about us and it is also our life, we are what our motor centre is. In other words we are what we do.


Energy of Motor Centre

The energy of the motor is related to age. It definitely has a peak, whereas the energy of the intellectual centre can last longer. It is in old age that the physicists and mathematicians of old seemed to have produced their best theories and work.


Conclusion

Use the motor centre in its orbit and make sure to never allow thinking to substitute action. Action is the motor centre and to act is the consciousness and it is what is practical in life.

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...
