Some Points on Anger II (202)

Point 11

The other egos don’t have the force, rather anger has the force and the other egos rely on the force of anger to have their desire, goal or invested interest fulfilled.

Point 12

Force exists to accomplish things and surmount obstacles. That is the legitimate role of force in creation. We all need force in life as well as for the endeavours of the spirit.

Point 13

The role of force in relation to the essence is to protect the essence and to provide it with the impulse to accomplish or achieve its goals.

Point 14

There are two ways of working on anger. The first way is to eliminate the obstacle. The second way is to sacrifice the desire for the goal. The first way targets anger and the second way targets the ego behind anger.

Point 15

As soon as the obstacle in front of the goal is removed anger disappears.

Point 16

A person without anger will surmount obstacles using force but not violence or force that goes against themselves or others. Their force is free, not conditioned.

Point 17

There is the use of imagination to remove the obstacle: in the negative sense (anger) and in the positive sense (wisdom, consciousness).

Point 18

What we can’t get with conviction or reason we get with corrupted force which is violence. That is why we get angry because need force to convince others to solve the problem in our particular way.

Point 19

Anger damages our image before ourselves and others.

Point 20

Anger does not take into account cause and effect. It blinds us to the effects of the actions of anger.

End (202).

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...
