Where is One’s Consciousness of Evil? - (307)

Introduction

An awakened person is said in Gnosis to be above, beyond and outside of both good and evil. So an awakened person is not good nor evil, but what makes him or her that is that the awakened person has consciousness of all the good and all the evil of things. The awakened one sees the reality, which is the truth and the truth is the magic combination of both sides good and evil.


Evil Outside and Inside

Certainly evil is outside of us in the actions of our fellow man and of course it is also inside us.

We can witness the evil of others, even experience it, be harmed by it or even benefit by it inadvertedly and we can also observe the evil that we have inside us in terms of what is in our psyche. That is the negative thoughts, ideas, desires and ill-intentions etc.


However how can one become really aware or conscious of evil? Is it to study all the evil of the world and the abyss or is it to know profoundly the evil we carry within?



Awareness of Evil is in Our Karma.

We can become very aware of the evil outside of ourselves in the world, but to know it profoundly we have to be in it or to have taken part in it, i.e. experienced it directly. In fact we all have to some degree taken part in evil and therefore have experienced it. Of course some a lot more than others.

The evil that we have taken part in, is left with us in our psyche but more importantly in our karma. The karma we have is the karma for having done evil in a greater or lesser degree. Karma is also in our subconscious.

So in other words if we want to be conscious and wise about evil we have to look deeply into our own karma. Our karma holds these secrets and wisdom.


Conclusion

Those beings that have delved deep into evil will one day when they are able to be free from all their karmic debts for having done so will have a tremendous amount of consciousness. This is not an excuse or an invitation or suggestion to go into evil , but only information that from the conscious payment and comprehension of our karma and egos will come much consciousness and wisdom and in that consciousness and wisdom is the awareness and comprehension of what that particular evil is, of why it is inconvenient, how it can be overcome, avoided and not repeated.

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...
