Essence: Roles of the Three Parts - (1206)

Introduction

In this post my idea is to present as many of the roles of the three parts of the essence that I have come across.


Roles of the Free and Awakened Essence

The part that is most useful and does the work is the part that is free and awakened.

Many Roles

This part of the essence being the consciousness is what observes, knows, comprehends, repents, acts, generates circumstances (internal and external, more internal), expresses the values of the Being, travels up and down and through the inner dimensions of our Sephirotic tree, emanates conscious will, unfolds into the internal worlds (astral), illuminates the subconscious, moves through the 49 levels of the mind, sees and recognises light and darkness, experiments the great reality, leaves the physical body to experience mystical ecstasy, exercises the functions of the Being, guides one in life, guides one on the path, corrects one’s errors, communicates with the elementals of nature, perceives reality, does the will of the Being, transfers all the learnings here in creation to the higher parts of the Being, apprehend the mysteries of life and death, realise bit by bit the various values and parts of the Being, starting with itself, that is becoming conscious of itself, knowing its true identity, knowing what it itself really is, searching for the Being, relating harmoniously with nature, exercising balance in all the spheres etc.

Major Role

The major role of the free and awakened essence is to get the trapped essence to arrive at the point of understanding by itself that it’s way of processing itself (thinking, feeling and acting) is not the right way and the right way is the way of the Being.

Why is it the wrong way? Because it causes pain and if something causes pain, it is for sure not the right way. If something is not the right way, it is because is out of line with the Being and the great reality of things (the way things are) etc.

The free and awaken essence has to come to find the right way, that is the way of the Being and then begin to send message after message to the trapped essence that it is wrong and that it needs to change. The free and awakened essence does this by exercising continuously the right way and not identifying (separating from) with the trapped and asleep essence (ego).

The real deep definitive repentance (definite results in death) of the essence occurs when the essence inside the ego repents. When that happens that is when that trapped essence has comprehended and broken the bottle of its conditioning, and it too has then awoken.


Role of the Free but Unawakened Essence

The essence that we have free but asleep, does not do too much. It shares some of the functions more or less of the consciousness, it does not condemn or judge nor accept, it will feel intrinsically though that something is not right or in order with the things of that ego, it will perceive the nature of it as not being of the essence. Even if it is asleep it still does something, just like the essence in the ego, even though it is asleep it perceives, thinks, feels and acts.


Role of the Trapped and Sleeping Essence


Process its Conditioning

Its first role is to just do what it has been conditioned to do, which is to process its conditioning, that is think, feel and act out its conditioning.

This conditioning may also include some karmic programming as well…

Beyond that – the Bigger (Ontological) Picture

But beyond that we may say that it has the role to be trapped and to know the opposite side of a certain value of the Being and to co-operate with the free and awakened essence in awakening and freeing itself and then transferring the valuable information it acquired during the years it was trapped onto our Being. So that we do not get trapped into again and that the Being has knowledge of both sides of creation, i.e. complete knowledge.

The key for the trapped essence is as soon as it realises it is wrong and repents it is awakened and its conditioning is mostly undone.

End (1206).

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...
