Knowing it is an Ego is Key!

Knowing it is an Ego is Key! – (447)

Introduction

There are times when we really feel awful, either in the sense of feeling nervous, anxious, or low in energy and depressed or either so angry, restless and or full of uncontrollable sexual desire. What happens in these cases is that we feel that we must act out these feelings, that is we must escape, run, move, leave, flirt, have sex, drink, take drugs etc. etc. We think that these feelings are in our biology and that we can not tame them, control them or even overcome them.

All these thoughts I want to say in this post are wrong!

The Most Important Observation

There is a very important observation to make and it is, if we do not act out, then as everything in life goes, there is a beginning, a peak and then a decline. So these states and feelings will decline. When they decline the ego provoking them goes and we are left in peace. Meaning that all these sensations, feelings, desires and agitation or depression where caused by one ego.

So then it is the ego that produces all these crazy desires, feelings, thoughts, perceptions and sensations. So the key is to remember this and to work to displace the ego when these states reoccur.

Conclusion

The amazing thing is when the ego goes is that we feel good again and not having the object of those previously felt desires does not worry us all. We feel positive, happy and content with what we have in front of us. The key is to know that it is an ego and work to displace it so to return to normal once again. This is one way to actually come to overcome and control that ego.

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...
