Hypnotic Grip of the Ego - (536)

Introduction

What is so really very hard for us in dissolving the ego, is its hypnotic grip. The hypnotic grip id what ties us to the ego and basically, in synthesis the hypnotic grip makes the ego or rather its excuses, reasons, compulsions, desires seem absolutely real, authentic, legitimate, within our right, honest, correct etc. etc.


Reason Why

The real reason why we can not give up the ego is because we feel it real or one of the above reasons given above. We when the ego manifests have the option to just let it go, to ignore it, to not pay attention to it or to push it into the background, to displace it from our psyche but the reason why we don’t and we chose the ego is because of the hypnotic grip.

The hypnotic grip makes the issues of the ego seems real. But we don’t believe that now, but in time we come to know that the reasons of the ego are not really real. They are the ego itself. We really urgently need with regards to the ego we are working on recognise this. When we don’t believe that that powerful reason is so real, we feel fine, the ego goes, and the issue fixes itself up from its own side or from both of our sides with what is real between us.

For example, we may worry thinking a relationship will end or be damaged and feel great pain about that, but that of looking after the relationship has to be let go of, if we want to dissolve that ego. That worry is not real or is it really a factor that will solve the relationship problem. Let the love between the two or lack of love sort or fix the relationship.


Conclusion

Try and do that, see that those reasons can be overcome, that they are not so legitimate and real. Because there is your freedom, in letting go of those very powerful reasons you will only find freedom. Hanging on to them you will only find the pain of the ego.

That is the door to your freedom - letting go of the hypnotic grip. Once the hypnotic grip has been overcome, the ego is very weak and its death is not far away.

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...
