The Ego and Cosmic Order

The Ego and Cosmic Order - (385)

Introduction

In creation there is order and balance, and keeping that order in place are laws and principles. These laws and principles present the order of things and hold everything together in balance and stability.

Essence and Being in Order, Ego in Rebellious Disorder

The essence and the Being are in accordance with those laws and principles. The ego in us on the other hand are not in accordance with those laws and principles. The ego is always the one that breaks these laws and principles. The ego free to act would erode, break, destroy all these laws and principles and eventually create a tremendous disorder.

Abyss is Anti-Order

The abyss is the place for the ego. This is because the abyss is the antithesis of the Being and the natural order. Disorder reigns in the abyss, as does breaking apart, disintegration and destruction.

The ego in us is connected to the abyss and is destructive in nature and because we have had the ego for so long and the consciousness in us is asleep we see the disorder and destruction of the ego as right or correct.

Learning that the Ego is Wrong

A part of the awakening in us is learning that the ego is wrong. This lesson or awakening can be learnt by contrasting the order and harmony in the cosmos with the nature of the ego. The law that the ego is against will teach us the lesson as to why the ego is wrong as soon as we become conscious of that law.

For example it is wrong to walk around naked because it is against the law that sex is intimate and sacred, and that we are all, or humanity that is, living in an inferior octave at the moment.

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...
