Which Should I Lean Towards? Awakening or Death? – (1581)

What’s Best for You?

The answer is what is best for you in accordance with your experience. However, I am going to make a suggestion as it has been presented to me.

Suggestion

Lean towards awakening! Why? Because when more awake we can understand more and die more. That is, die more efficiently and in more depth.


How and Why (Advantages)

  • Being more awake one can observe the ego more completely and in more detail.
  • One can more readily not strengthen or feed the ego.
  • One can see the ego wishing to surface from the subconscious and therefore keep it somewhat isolated (in accordance with our degree of consciousness) from our psyche.
  • Being more awake one has found one’s reality (partially, increasing in depth as we progress) in consciousness and identification with the ego is much less immediate. There is a choice and a space to be crossed before identification can occur.
  • Being more awake, there is more space within our psyche for its processes to occur without the interference or with less interference of the various egos.
  • One has much more possibility of dying being awake, meaning that one has the apprehension and comprehension of the deep motives and reasons of the ego.
  • If the ego resuscitates, the deep motives of the ego which were previously apprehended and comprehended by the consciousness remain in the consciousness. Allowing the work on the ego to be retaken more fluidly and with more directness, than if one died in those egos via insistent mysticism and action, without having apprehended and comprehended the deep motives of the egos.
  • One is able to transform impressions on the spot a lot more readily. Less of the a posteriori transformation of impressions is required. 
  • One is able to give the more correct answer to the events of life, because being more awake one sees the reality of things in the events of life. When we don't see the reality we obviously make wrong judgements and mistakes follow.
  • One is able to mitigate one’s karmic programming being more awake. Because one has some separation from the subconscious. The subconscious is the element through which the karmic programming functions.

Conclusion

55% or 60% of our efforts towards awakening and 45% or 40% towards death. Death is absolutely needed. Without it one will be endlessly separating the ego from the consciousness.

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...
