Don’t Make Failing to the Ego a Habit – (1299)

Short Break

Taking a short break now from the theme of duality and relativity.

A Habit

We can make failing to the ego a habit, and as you can imagine that is something that is not too good. It can be corrected though.


Manifestation, Habit and a way of Life

The ego begins to manifest then it becomes a habit and then that habit grows to become a way of life. When the ego is a way of life it is very difficult to change. But it can certainly be done.

When the ego is a habit, it can be undone and new superior habits created.

Imagine the habit of sacrificing the ego. Such a habit can be created, at least in relation to one ego.


Change the Habit

Anyway besides that if failing to one ego has become a habit, we have to focus on that, by creating a detailed plan of how you are going to undo it and grit teeth, decide and do it! Commit to it, don’t be weak and do it!

To change a habit, is when we really need force. That is the right application of our force. Not the use that anger makes of our force. Sometimes we get angry because a bad habit is harming us and that is good is we then channel that force evoked by anger inwardly to motivate us into action to change that habit.

End (1299).

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...
