Intellectual Analysis of the Ego is Good to Tell you the 'What' of the Ego

Intellectual Analysis of the Ego is Good to Tell you the 'What' of the Ego – (1521)

Why Analyse?

We analyse the ego or anything for that matter to know more about it. That is what analysis is for and also what it is good for – to know more about something. So if you want to know more about something try as a first attempt to analysis it a little.

Analysis is essentially done be prising the apart and examining in closer detail what each part does of the thing that you are studying does. Analysis then concludes by putting all that we have found together, and that is the final result of the analysis. Analysis must take us to some sort of conclusion.

This conclusion is not everything though, especially when it comes to the work of the elimination of the ego.

Move Onwards

Once we know more about the ego, we have to drop analysis and use other means to progress in the elimination of the ego.

The next steps are comprehension and counteracting the ego by affirming the free value of our essence that is conditioned in the ego are what is needed. If it si lust we are working on we must counteract lust by transmuting etc.

Conclusion

Intellectual analysis has its use and after that it becomes ineffective if we want to progress further in understanding and dissolving the ego we have to move onto the other stages mentioned above. If we don't move on we get stagnated.

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...
