At Some Point the Being Can Use the Ego for Some Particular Purposes - (1235)

Introduction

This is such a spiny subject, mainly because people can grab it and then use it to justify their indulgence in the ego.

The interesting thing about this topic is that the Being or our Being only uses takes this approach when we are asleep, and it is only afterwards that we realise what has happened. So if we think and feel that our Being is using an ego in us for some reason, good you we are still asleep or partly asleep in that area.


Sure Sign that it was the Being

The only real way to know that it was our Being using an ego is when a positive result for the Being or for our work comes out of it. It may start with an ego but it gets transformed.


Why Use an Ego

Because perhaps the Being does not have enough space in us as yet to move us directly.

He has a strategy and he may for example may strengthen and use and ego in us to make efforts to create a space and time in our life for that activity. Then He will slowly implant eh idea of using that space and time for something spiritual. Or he could use an ego for us to learn a particular lesson (tricky business though).


Examples

A person can start writing initially as an attempt to make money and when that fails one day the person can have the thought of writing posts or articles related to Gnosis and the Gnostic work. Then in such a case a person can start to feel more and more like writing about the Gnostic work and very soon the idea of writing for money drops off completely.

People practice the Alchemy in the beginning with some egos at work but later that is all transformed and those egos go to the way side.

Many people could have started Gnosis because of curiosity or because of the ego related to magical ambition or maybe because of mystical pride, to be better than the average person.


Conclusion

If the Being uses something of an ego in us, it is for a purpose to produce a result that will benefit Him and us, but more Him as He is the boss!

As you can see this only really happens when we are new to the work or do not have enough work to be able to perceive and act on the impulses, ideas, motivations, plans etc. of our Being.

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...
