What Makes Your Personality Active? - (1410)

Don’t Tell Me you Don’t Know!

If you don’t know, how are you going to make your personality passive then?

Well who cares, just go and find out.

Hang on a minute, we are interested in making our personality passive so that we can activate our consciousness or at least make the effort of activating our consciousness easier.

This post is about giving some ideas on what can make our personality active.


Factors that Activate Our Personality

Control Freaks

When we want to control the way an event unfolds we have our personality active.

When we are trying to control the decisions of others we have our personality active and often we can get into what is called a ‘clash of personalities”.

When we are trying to control the impressions that we emit so to try and control what others are thinking of us we have our personality active and our consciousness is far from being active.

Being in a Hurry

When we are in a hurry or are working quickly we often go into personality mode.

Importance

When we are wanting to be important and taking things with lots of importance and placing an exaggerated importance on things we have our personality active. Especially if those things that we are making important are to do with the things of life.

When we want to know everything and we are planning things we have our personality active once again.

Customs and Traditions

When we are engaged in our particular customs and traditions we can have a part of our personality active once again. We don’t have to have our personality active we can have our consciousness active here but by default we end up having our personality active instead.


Family

When we are with our family and we are engaged once again, giving advice, giving reprimands, talking in the way that they speak, complaining, eating all the way that they all eat etc. we have our personality active. We may feel quite good doing this and that is good, it good to know that these times can be enjoyed more intensely with our consciousness present, even we can get a glimpse into why we have the chance to enjoy such a time.

Roles and Jobs

When we are identified with a certain role whether it be a role in our physical work or in our family we have our personality active and it is for sure hard to get our consciousness active when actively engaged in such a role.

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...
