Constructive and Destructive Instead of Good and Evil, Good and Bad, Right and Wrong

Constructive and Destructive Instead of Good and Evil, Good and Bad, Right and Wrong – (446)

Introduction

What is good and evil, what is right and wrong and what is good and bad? They are essentially mental judgements or concepts. That is they exist in our mind and are a product of our mind. What though are they in reality? In reality, they are either convenient or inconvenient or constructive and destructive. Lets expand upon this.

Expanding

What is right or good is something that starts a chain of positive effects that lead to a construction of something, a creation of order and a certain correctness or dignity that is proper that brings harmony, is dignifying and may even improve and repair or renew something that was previously damaged or broken.

What is bad or evil on the other hand brings a destruction, a breaking down and disorder. It usually makes things worse and creates disorder. It is essentially in practical terms all the opposite of what a good or right thing does. But the key words are constructive or evolutionary and destructive or involutionary.

Egos are Destructive or Involutionary and the Essence Evolutionary

Lust, anger, pride and the other large defects are all destructive. Lust with its adultery and other things that are by-products of its nature, hurts others by destroying relationships and hurts ourselves destroying our self-image and image in front of others. This is because sexuality and Being are very much linked together. The power of sexuality allows us to Be, so a sexuality working destructively erodes our Being and sense of Being.

Conclusion

In conclusion what is good and bad, good and evil and right and wrong is known by its results in real and practical life. The fruit is known once it blossoms and bares fruit. The same with the ego, its results are negative, therefore it is a wrong creation.

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...
