The Masters Don’t Pamper the Personality - (838)

Introduction

The above statement is awful for us, especially for the personality but it makes sense and it has to be true. 


How can they Pamper the Personality?

If what really counts is the essence and the Monad why would the masters put so much attention to our personality, especially in keeping it so strong and active that it overcomes the essence all of the time? Why would they pamper our personality and leave our essence without the chance to grow and develop?

Pampering the personality usually occurs at the expense of the growth of the essence. The Masters don’t pamper the essence either, because pampering is the excess, it is the breaking of balance. But the Masters help the essence which is different by giving it what it needs to develop itself.


Why Does Pampering Exist then?

It exists because of the good egos of people, and furthermore the personality of people is setup that way to pamper others, and or because in general people are quite weak and pampering is a way to keep our weaknesses going. Because we are weak we find not pampering oh so terribly cruel.

Also it may be because of the law of cause and effect, if one has pampered others then one earns to be pampered. Or one may actually deserve to be pampered after having previously worked hard.

We are going bad if we are attached to being pampered. That is something that my goodness makes one weak and is the cause of much suffering.


Conclusion

I think that it is good to remember this that the masters do not pamper the personality. Especially, the masters of the Law. Those masters want the awakening of one’s consciousness and the payment of one’s karma and none of these two things are achieved by pampering the personality. Are they?

Well being realistic sometimes we have to pamper people, because they can not make it without it, but when it comes to ourselves it is a different story. We can be tough with ourselves so to give our essence the best chance to come to the fore and answer the difficulty.

End (838).

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...
