How to Work these Causal “I’s” - (1012)

Find the Value Involved

In every causal ego and every ego for that matter there is a value of our Being involved. In fact it is at the very core of that ego.

The way we find the value is to find out what that ego really wants or is about.

Once we find what the ego really wants or is about we can find the value and then start to cultivate the value.

The so very interesting thing is, is that value is in the subconscious, we do not see it and when we do see it we end up liberating a part of the subconscious. Karma works through the subconscious and it is subconscious. It must be subconscious because that is the way it drives us to desire suffering.


Using Duality to Find the Value

Karma works so mathematically precisely with duality. Karma uses duality. What the ego wants is the inversion of what it lost and now the ego is there trying to compensate for this loss, however it is compensating in the inverted way again which is wrong and only produces more suffering.

We need some examples to see this better.


Examples


Fear

Fear we see trusts that something bad will happen. So the value there is about trust. We have to trust in others, in the Being, in ourselves and in the capacity of our Being to make it through whatever happens.

Self-Love

Self-love is about receiving love from others so that it can feel love for itself. So the value there is really love for the Being and love for others.

See how loving gives you back a value! In this case it is courage.


By the principle of other we see that instead of receiving love we have to give love and love our Being from ourselves and not through others.

Lust

Let’s take lust. Lust is certainly an ego that is causal or can be causal in certain people, not in everyone.

Looking deep into it we see that it certainly wants something. It may want love for example through sensations, it may want satisfaction of its desires, to receive love, be loved and adored etc. just as an example.

So then lust’s role is to search for such an arrangement or situation where this takes place, that is, it finds love through sensations, i.e. a sexual type of love, receives satisfaction and is loved and adored emotionally or intellectually or sexually just depending on the particular type of ego of lust it is.

So then let’s see the polarisation involved, it desires this type of love because it lost it, it wants to receive what it lost, because it does not have love in this way. But he love it is trying to get is the opposite of the love it lost. Let’s see how this works.

When we invert this using the principle of duality we see that what we lost was sexuality with love and so that the ego is trying to compensate for that by trying to get love through sexuality. This is the value involved - sexuality with love. So in the past we had this value but lost it and so we have to cultivate it once again, and the work of cultivating it pays the karma involved.


We lost this value because we surpassed a limit, that is we abused or over did something, we took too much, we stopped loving the spirit and focussed more on sensations or matter, or we over satisfied our desires in the past and now we can not satisfy our desires and we are wanting to receive love through sexuality instead of loving, and combining love and sexuality in an edifying way.

We will also see that in wanting this love through the senses or sexuality we are not loving really and that is why we just make our situation worse when the ego gets what it wants.

To cultivate this value we have to transmute with love in whatever we way we can.

End (1012).

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...
