Mythomania - (1408)

Introduction

This post are notes that I took on the long retreat held in Perth last year. My goodness it is last year already. How time flies. This is quite a classic theme, as it pops up in people now and then. The further we veer away from reality the more easily it can always pop up. Crashing back down to reality always hurts more than sticking to reality. 


Mythomania and Scepticism

Mythomania and scepticism are both compensations for having lost the Being. they are all to do with a lack.

If we lack something a natural mechanism is to create the will to get what we lack or create what we lack.


Desire for Compensation

When we have lost the Being we actually create the compensation that we were, or we are actually a great fallen master. Or even, that we are a great initiate doing well in the initiations.

We by the desire to compensate so toque ourselves hope, we project into the world of desire (astral world) the compensation that we want.

The desires and images of compensation come out of our subconscious. Then when we see them and believe them. This is how the mythomaniac is born. which is a demon totally divorced from reality.



In our past history is our successes and failures. Our past history is our subconscious.


Take Experiences with the Consciousness

Every experience we have, we must take it with balance and with the consciousness, because the consciousness will always take it correctly and not create false expectations or conclusions.

We should not put our path into plus or minus. whatever we are told about ourselves by a master physically or internally, does not change us at all.

The desire of the subconscious is always ‘to be’. The egos come out of the subconscious to be in control.

We have to always contrast our experiences with reality, that is the three realities, the teachings and also the consciousness.

End (1408).

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...
