Wanting the Dissolution of an “I” - (1917)

Pathway to Will

What we need to end up is having the goal of dissolving the “I” to enter our will. If it enters our will it will enter our heart.

Imagination gives us a pathway to will. Remember will and imagination work together in vibrant harmony. Obviously activating one begins to make the other to activate!

This is how you access will! Using your imagination. Read on…

Imagination

Use Imagination to Start

See yourself without that ego. Of course you are happier without it! Of course! But what is more useful is to use imagination to see how you are going to successfully counteract it using the work, using your consciousness and by remembering your inner Being. See that your work takes care completely of the ego when it manifests.

Imagine yourself dealing with that issue that he ego usually takes for itself using your essence and the ways of the work, the path and the Being.

Using imagination to see this is more critical at this early stage than imagining living without the ego!
We have to open up our imagination. See ourselves counteracting the ego totally successfully and not feeling any disappointment or lacking.

Will


Conclusion

Such a convincing exercise of imagination allows access into our will. Because it makes us to see that we can do it and then we naturally want to do it and we see that it is better than the ego’s ways.

We have to do this constantly, because the ego lives in darkness and when we don’t see a way out we get stuck.

The key is to do this over and over again. Once won’t do it but repeatedly will. The ego repeats and repeats and so must we. The ego defeats us with repetition and so we must defeat it with repetition.

End (1917).

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...
