Indulging Any Ego Causes a 'Crash'

Indulging Any Ego Causes a 'Crash' – (1567)

A ‘Crash’

If a person indulges an ego for too long a kind of a natural crash happens.

This is because every process has a natural limit and every process brings a result. With the result being either constructive or destructive.

Indulged for Too Long

If the ego is indulged for a long time then comes the limit of the negative consequences on our system. Our system can no longer stand this ego being indulged and so a ‘crash’ as we can call it happens.

A crash is where we may feel very fragile emotionally and intellectually, where we may even feel sick or unwell and where we may stop our work because we simply are not capable of fighting as we normally do. It seems that we can only work on recovering our normal state.

If a 'crash' is experienced connect to nature to gather strength and vitality and speed up your recovery.
There is a certain magic in nature that can heal and revitalise.
Nature can be your garden or local park.

This crash resets our system, throws the indulgent ego out of system and gives our body and psychology time to recover.

Be Smart Use the Experience of the ‘Crash’ to Strengthen the Resolve

When the body and our psychology are back to normal, this ego returns, and if one is smart one can use the experience of the crash to strengthen one’s resolve to not identify with this ego anymore or at the very least do one’s best to not feed it.

A wise person prevents a crash way before it can happen by not feeding any ego!

End (1567).

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...
