Separation from the Ego V (193)

What Makes us to See the Ego as One?

What helps separation is when we don’t want that ego. It is identification that makes us to see ourselves as one with the ego. We fully adopt the identity of the ego. The identity of a person who has been wronged, or the identity of a Don Juan or an identity of a person who is being attacked or being offended or insulted etc. etc.

Separation, really is a matter of awakening and comprehension. This is probably the first step in the awakening in Gnosis. We do it most of the time only partly, but to do it fully consciously is the real key.


Self-Remembering

The real self-remembering comes from that being that consciousness not taking on other identities which are the egos. We have to do that consciously. Without separation or an in depth knowledge of that self-remembering is not really effectively possible either.

How can we separate from something if we don’t know the two parts that we are going to separate from?


Degrees of Separation

There are degrees of separation. Sometimes we can be intellectually separate from the ego but still have it in our human machine. This is when we suffer. This is when we know how to suffer. The right way to suffer is conscious suffering. It is a real myth that we are able to separate all and every ego just like that, maybe in the Second Mountain and in the Third Mountain.


Conclusion

We are to blame as to why we identify with the ego, only though when we know that we are the consciousness. It is difficult to be fully responsible beforehand, all that we can be responsible beforehand is to not allow the ego in us to make us do wrong things, because we have to know wrong from right. The more we know that we are an essence or consciousness the more or the better we will be able to separate from the ego and be more responsible for our psychological functionings.

End (193).

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...
