Why is the Intermediate Mind so Strong?

Why is the Intermediate Mind so Strong? - (2040)

Answer: Because of Will

The intermediate mind is the mind of belief and concepts.

As we can not be sure that our concepts and beliefs are true we pour our will into them as an effort to make them true.

Years of pouring our will into the beliefs and concepts of our intermediate mind make these beliefs and concepts so very strong.

The ego also uses the intermediate mind. This is very easy to know because any ego has its beliefs and its concepts. What makes our ego so very strong is the amount of trapped will it has within it.

We must become more conscious of the way in which we invest or use our will. Consciously investing our will is the start of the development of conscious will.

Conscious will is the will that can chose where and into what it will be applied.

Conclusion

The realer mind is the inner mind because it receives from the truth – our consciousness.

When we do not have access to the inner mind we then only have access to the sensual and intermediate mind and so our own will power is used as a substitute for the consciousness to try and make these concepts and beliefs true. We think and feel that if believe in them strongly enough they will come true.

Every movie nearly talks about that. Most of the time, it can come true when it is about achieving something. This is because will is used to do something and keep us constant in our tasks.

End (2040).

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...
