Some Points on Anger I (201)

Introduction

The following three posts are a list of some salient points on the very human characteristic of anger, or in Gnostic terms the ‘I’ of Anger.

These points if considered carefully will help you to better understand how anger works in the human being. And understanding always brings a change in us, a change in our perception and what is the most important of all a change in our actions.

So I end this introduction, wishing the best in your studies of anger and may these 32 points provide you with light on anger so that you can become free of it.


Point 1

Anger is the protector of the structure of the ego (it never comes alone).


Point 2

It is impossible to get angry without words and thoughts (we can’t get angry without thoughts, words and concepts).


Point 3

It is principally the use of force to remove an obstacle.


Point 4

Anger always has a goal or an objective.


Point 5

Desire is present in every manifestation of anger (anger is an effect ego, the ego behind the anger is the cause ego, which is some sort of desire).


Point 6

The stronger the ego behind anger the stronger the anger will be.


Point 7

There is no anger without a sense of loss, harm, damage, disadvantage, injustice, breach of safety etc.


Point 8

Anger comes when the essence or consciousness in us perceives a void or a lack of force.


Point 9

Anger is a lack of conviction (it lacks reason or truth, it uses force as a reason, and lacks the force of reason).


Point 10

Anger is the conditioned use of force that becomes violence. The force in anger is conditioned by relativity and duality. As anger is the force used to remove obstacles and as it is conditioned force, it uses force against others or sometimes ourselves to remove that obstacle. Our essence uses force but in an intelligent way that does not harm ourselves and others.


End (201).

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...
