What happens if we are struggling in wanting to dissolve an Ego (240)

Introduction

This post is a remedy to the situation when you know that you really have to work on an ego but it is strong and you don’t want to work on it. In some way we still want what it gives or promises us.

What it Gives or What it Promises?

Before I go on, there is a very interesting point here to look at and it is are we wanting what the ego actually gives us or what the ego promises us.

When we get what the ego wants is that really what we wanted. In a majority of the cases we don’t really want what the ego gives us, because the reality of getting what the ego gives is not so happy, pleasing and agreeable as it sounded.

Usually we want what the ego promises us and that can be something that we can get truly get through the Being instead of through the ego. The reason why this is because what we may want is something that is not bad.

For example

For example we may want some sort of freedom and so lust tries to get it and then that becomes inconvenient for us and in the end it is not freedom that we get but complications and difficulties etc. However, in the beginning we wanted freedom, if we try to get it through the Being we will truly get it.

Remedy

Here is the remedy. The remedy is to search for the truth behind it. To search for the truth of what the ego wants, find the true nature of its end result and its desires.

The truth is neutral and sets us free. If we actually find the truth behind we will be happy to let the ego go anyway. Finding the truth does not cause any pain and does not bother or annoy us.

Conclusion

The key is look for the truth behind the ego, find out why it wants what it does and what is the true nature of what it wants. The truth is something neutral and does not harm the essence or us, it actually frees us and it actually it dissolves the ego.

End (240).

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...
