Counteracting Identification, Fascination and Dream

Counteracting Identification, Fascination and Dream - (1022)

Counteracting Identification, with the Antidote - Comprehension

The first antidote is to comprehend the factor which counteracts the first manifestation of hypnosis, which is identification.

That first antidote is comprehension. Comprehension allows us to know that we are not the ego, but rather we are the really the essence and that when we get identified it is our free essence that assumes the identify of one or another ego, and that ego is not us. When we comprehend this we deeply and we have this in our background we can counteract identification.

Also understanding the person involved in the event, understanding their point of view and understanding the ego is us that would like to react all helps immensely to not allow our free essence to assume the identity of the ego, which could be the angry upset person, the person who has been wronged, the person who is a victim of the ill-actions of others, the person who is not good enough, the person who does not belong, the person who is tired and is doing it tough, the person who never gets listened to, the person who is not appreciated, the person who is being used, the loser, the winner, the best, etc. etc.

Comprehension is liberation! When we comprehend something we are liberated from it. It may still exist in our psyche but we are not ruled by it. Comprehension changes us, we act differently and are different when we comprehend something.

Comprehension is of the consciousness and consciousness is prajna, and prajna is light, knowledge and wisdom.

Counteracting Fascination, with the Antidote - Revelation

When we have a mini revelation or self-discovery about ourselves or about our psyche we break free of fascination.

The easiest way to get this revelation is using duality. It is to see that it is us who is projecting, it is us who is responsible for our discontent, it is our own psyche that is interpreting someone’s words in a painful way, it is us who has difficulty when we think it is the other person, that things should have happened the way that they did, when we realise that we are not seeing reality we hit what is called mini self-discoveries which are mini revelations. A revelation is always about realising a certain truth. It is never ever about dreaming.

Revelation which is a discovery counteracts fascination.

Counteracting Sleep or Dream with the Antidote - Action

Action of the consciousness radically modifies sleep or dream. To dream is to do nothing or to be passive or to be doing the really wrong thing altogether. When due to the previous stages of comprehension and revelation our consciousness becomes clear on what it must o do to shake off any possible dreaming effects.

So then the consciousness acts and with this action, which could be only an internal action, such as stopping the thoughts the sleep of the consciousness is avoided or warded off.

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...
