Degrees in Death of the Egos that are Dead – (1490)

Introduction

There are degrees and degrees of everything. Even in the death of the ego once it is dead.


When Dead There Are Even Degrees

When an ego is dead, true it is dead, but how dead is the question. If an ego is dead but has not been dead for very long it can resuscitate, all that is needed is to identify with certain impressions etc. Just as Master Samael said once, while he was giving a talk in Mexico and was remembering one of his past lives in Rome where he was relating how he fell and suddenly stopped and said: “I am not going to go further because I can create lust.”.

In such cases when the ego has not been dead for very long the ego can symbolically seen to be dead in a coffin. The body of the ego is intact but dead. When an ego has been dead for a very long time, the body of the ego is seen as being in a state of decomposition.



There is a difference in death between a recently dead corpse and a corpse that has been dead for a year or more. One is still intact but the other is just a mess of rotten flesh and bones.


Sexual Energy

The sexual energy creates the solar bodies and it also creates the bodies of the egos or metaphysical forms so that the essence can become trapped within.


Conclusion

I had no idea about this (and still don’t from practical experience) but it makes a lot of sense. There are degrees and degrees of nearly everything.

End (1490).

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...
