All the Warriors had a Petty Tyrant

All the Warriors had a Petty Tyrant – (490)

Introduction

I first heard this idea of a petty tyrant from an author Victor Sanchez, a disciple of Carlos Castaneda. He said that the warrior has a or many petty tyrants that help me or her to work on themselves. This petty tyrant provokes in a major way the warriors egos. The objective of having a petty tyrant is to get free of the effects that our own egos provoke in us because of the petty tyrant’s impressions.

A petty tyrant can make us angry, sad, depressed or very upset.

All the Warriors had One

All the warriors used someone to work on themselves. It was said that Master Samael would often visit a certain man in order to work on himself. It was said that that man would criticises and insult Master Samael and Gnosis. When Master Samael dissolved the egos that would often get affected he stopped visiting that man.

It has also been written that Carlos Castaneda’s teacher Don Juan would visit a certain man quite often because this man would always make him feel very sad.

Conclusion - Your Petty Tyrant

So do you have a petty tyrant. We may have one, but not realise it. If there is a person that always insults you, makes you sad, depressed or irate then as soon as you decided to triumph over the effects that your egos produce in you because of the impressions (words, gestures, actions) from that person you have a petty tyrant that you can use to get a step or more steps towards your personal inner freedom.

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...
