We are NOT Serious with Mystical Death Because We Don’t Perceive the Danger - (1236)

Introduction

One reason why we are not serious with the work of the dissolution of the ego is because we don’t perceive the dangers involved. True with some egos there are no real dangers but with some others, there are!

Basically when we think or believe that indulging in the ego is ok for us, we are not going to work seriously on it. We have our reasons of course why we think it is good for us, and one of them may be: “it doesn’t matter”, or “I’ll dissolve it later”, or “everyone else does it and they are all fine”, “I’ll be fine, I’ll recover no worries” etc.

One scary guy!


Big Picture Dangers

Involution

The overall big picture danger is Involution!

Because we don’t know or havn’t perceived how painful that is we flirt with the work of the dissolution of the ego. To have had experiences with the abyss is enough of a motivation for us to work hard so as to not end up there.

Falling

The other big picture danger is falling. Imagine how painful that is. We may be able to perceive that pain and it is intense... The higher one is, the more intense is that pain of course.


Small Picture Dangers

Too Many

There are so many of these. They range from reprimands, rifts, arguments, broken relationships, being expelled, getting fired, getting sick, being sick, dying, crying, pain of the body, suffering, regret, sorrow, humiliation, depression you name it, it goes on.


Conclusion

It is sometimes good to remember the dangers involved and get a little shock and then jump back in line.

End (1236).

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...
