Desire and the Will of the Ego – (1588)

Origin of Physical Manifestation

The will of the ego is the origin of the manifestation in the mind, and therefore in the emotion and in the action.

The will of the ego is the ‘trouble maker’ so to speak.

In the will of the ego is the drive to fulfil a mysterious or obtuse lack or need. The will of the ego is the same desire of the ego.

The will of the ego or the desire of the ego has a reason for existing. A mysterious obtuse lack or need is the reason for the desire of the ego.


Desire of the Ego

The desire of the ego is the quantity of our will trapped in the ego. Being trapped in the ego is another way of saying that a quantity of our will is conditioned to fulfil the object of the desire, which is always an attempt to fill a certain lack or need.

Desire or the will of the ego always has a goal. The opposite of the goal reflects the mysterious obtuse need.

The will of the ego expresses in words as “I want”, “I need”.


Direction of Free Will

Will should be directed into not allowing our will to be poured into fulfilling that goal. Don’t allow will to flow into the channel of fulfilling that goal.

If we get the ego at the dimension of where it engages will we have the ego by the jugular.

Do you feel that you can send your consciousness up to the dimension of your will and nab the ego right up there before it enters the mind. Such a manoeuvre is one of pure consciousness and will.

Know the lack or need and fulfil it in the right way, then it is easier for us because that need is fulfilled and the trapped will does not have function.

End (1588).

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...
