Egos Take Risks when Entering our Light - (509)

Introduction

Sometimes when the ego’s desire gains so much momentum, all because we don’t do anything to stop it, in fact we polarise with it, the ego can get very bold and take full control of our human machine so to fulfil its desires. When we on the contrary do not polarise ourselves with it we keep it in the subconscious where we don’t see it completely but we have it under control.

So when the ego feels trust that is, it feels that it can come into full activity and take control, because it knows we are not going to stop it, the ego takes its risk and comes into the light. This is a very important opportunity.

See the image below, that is what our mind is like We have a certain area that we can see everything and then there areas that we can not see. The ego takes a risk when it enters into the region of light in or mind, and once in the region of light we can see it completely in as if it were in front of a full length mirror.


In the Light

Once in the light of our conscious mind, if we can say that, the ego certainly takes a big risk, either we identify with it fully and fulfil its desires or we observe it, which is quite easy because it is fully in the light of our awareness or scope of observation. Then when it is under our full observation we can find see what it really wants and then it is in big trouble or more or less finished or on the way to be so.


Conclusion

When observing the whole ego in the full light of our awareness we can catch what the egos strongly and dearly held values are. This is very important information because with this we can know that it is really after and then we can contrast these values against the qualities and values of our Being and then we can take a step forward in the death of this ego.

For example we see that this ego wants a value of acceptance, this may amaze us because we think we are accepted or we may just have never cared about being accepted, but we just observed that that is what it really wants. Then we can contrast that value with our Being, and we see that we are accepted by our Being, and do we can ask do we accept our Being, ourselves and others. We can come to the conclusion that we we don’t need that acceptance, that we have it already and that we need to give it rather than receive it.

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...
