Some Egos are Like Fires

Some Egos are Like Fires - (320)

Introduction

Definitely not all egos but some are like fires. Lust, anger, self-love etc. are like fires. They even obey the same principles of fire.

Burn Intensely but Need Fuel to Burn

They burn intensely and if we are intelligent enough to not feed them they slowly burn out by themselves for not having fuel and air to keep burning.

The more you feed them, fan them and touch them, agitate them the more intensely they burn.

Why

Why are some egos like fire? Simple, because the ego as does everything else in creation contains the four elements within its constitution. There are some egos that much more related to fire than other egos. For example laziness is much more related to earth than lust is or pride is.

So within the nature of anger and lust is more fire than anything else and most people really know this.

Putting out a Fire

To put out a fire, you need throw water or earth (sand) on it, or starve it of air or not give it any space to expand, or just let it burn out by itself. So with anger and lust we can certainly starve it, make ourselves so busy that we don’t have time to think of lust or anger or we can use relaxation (earth - throw sand on it) or throw water on it, transmute or apply love sweetness, kindness etc.

Conclusion

So for the egos that have a lot of fire in their nature one very good way to deal with them is to think of them as fire and not feed them with fuel or air. That is do not feed them with your thoughts (air) and do not give them impressions (fuel).

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...
