Whatever You Do Don’t Buy this Theory of Dissolving the Ego (Overfeeding Explosion) – (1307)

Introduction

As strange and funny as this theory seems, we actually believe a little in it, and even live it out hoping that it will work. Mainly because there is a little bit of partial truth in it, but to bite this theory ‘hook line and sinker’ is a huge error. The ego is certainly not dissolved this way. Read on to see why…


The Theory

The erroneous theory is that we can dissolve the ego by feeding it and feeding it until it begins to get quite big, fat and strong, then keep feeding it until it explodes like a balloon.



In Practice – Doesn’t Work

In practice, in reality this doesn’t work. The ego with the food that it wants does get bigger and stronger, and when we do feed it more there comes a point when our system - our instinctive centre and the other centres get saturated and can’t stand the food of this ego anymore and so the body overrides the desire provoked by the ego.

To think then that the subsided desire means that the ego is dying is a huge mistake, because after the body recovers that ego returns with a huge force that squashes us.

The ego has to return according to the law. Which law? The law of return. Besides only the consciousness in us and the Divine Mother can dissolve the ego, and we don’t get conscious comprehension by feeding something, we get it by not feeding it and observing its protests.


Absurd Logic of the Abyss

The logic in this theory actually belongs to the abyss. Why? Because that is what they do down there. They just feed and feed the ego hoping for dissolution to arrive. Comprehension they hope will arrive, but it never does, maybe some bits and pieces do but never ever total comprehension. Meanwhile the constant feeding is going on, nature just dissolves the ego they are trying to feed and feed. Master Samael said that once when he was in involution in the very very remote ancient past, he fornicated and fornicated while involving through the animal, vegetable and mineral states and then when all his vitality was extinguished like a candle being blown out, he was free and began to evolve.

End (1307).

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...
