Don’t Think of Dissolving the Ego Until There is in You the Constant Will of “I don’t want to Think, Feel and Do that of the Ego!”

Don’t Think of Dissolving the Ego Until There is in You the Constant Will of “I don’t want to Think, Feel and Do that of the Ego!” – (1714)

Only Will Can Reckon with Will

Mind and emotion can not reckon with will. At first it seems as if they can but it is soon apparent that they lack the ability to do so. In the end only one will can reckon with another will.

We Fail Because We Lack Will

We fail in our attempts to dissolve any ego when we lack the will to do it. To acquire this will can take a long and windy path. A path of many failures and many learnings but what is so important is that we get to this point of acquiring the will that moves into our feelings and says “I honestly don’t want to think, feel and do this ego any more.”.

We can get to this point with honest and sincere work and patience. Many times we think that we are there but the facts show us that we are not quite there yet. Patience and persistence will get us there. Even though we suffer many setbacks, the one thing that gets us there is that of never giving up. If we have at least the will to never give it or never stop trying we will get there!

In any way you look at it, we need will!

The Will of “I Want!”

When we have the sincere will or conviction of “I want to not think, feel and do what that ego wants!’ then we are going to die. As soon as that honestly appears in you and it is successful in pushing the ego back when the next real confrontation with the ego comes, then we are ready to die in that ego and we will.

End (1714).

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...
