Fall is when the Inferior Overcomes Superior - (342)

Introduction

The general formula or characteristic of any fail or fall is when the inferior overcomes the superior and rules the superior. The typical is when the ego rules the spirit.


We have certain forces and centres in us that must be ruled by other relatively superior centres. When the essence or common sense or superior logic or the Being governs then there is no fail or fall.


Inferior Centres to be Ruled by Superior


The classic is example or case is when the sexual centre in its pursuit to express to provide pleasure crosses all the boundaries and enters into control and overcomes the all the centres then very soon the person topples over and falls. In this example the intellect and emotion must control the sexual centre by using transmutation and by channelling the force of the sexual centre. The stupid ego feeds it with fantasy and fires the sexual centre up and makes it so strong that it overcomes all the barriers of decency in us. 

The diagram below shows the intellect ruling over the inferior centres. That is the right and correct position of the real human being. 


The inferior emotions must also be ruled by the superior emotions and the superior logic of the work and what is right and ethical must rule the inferior egoical thought.

A major point is when the seeking of pleasure becomes too great a fall of some sort is going to happen, even if it is too sleep to rest for too long, we end up wasting the day.


Conclusion

The is the classic tell-tale when we are not doing well is when the inferior is getting too strong that it starts taking over the superior values and principles an centres in us.

End (342).

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...
