Taming Polar Bears (Polar Opposite Pairs) - (2157)

Polar Opposite Pairs

Duality. How interesting it is. The law of 2. How the two parts of the two, the duality, are so intimately linked. Undoubtedly this intimate link comes from the fact that the unity, the one gave rise to the two. This intimate relation only happens with the law of two, that is with duality. IT does not occur with the three or four or seven. But only with the two.


Examples

Such examples of polar opposite pairs can only be found in creations where the Law of Two reigns supreme.

Some examples life and death, day and night, good an evil, virtue and defect, and what this post is all about pain and pleasure.

In fact many egos are one half of the polar opposite pair, where it is a certain value that has been polarised into duality. Just like a coin, the coin is the value and the coins two sides are the defect and virtue.

General Formula for Psychological Polar Oppositions

The law of two gives rise to relativity. There must be two or more for there to be relativity. Because relativity is about something in relations to something else. See straight the two things must be present. With the Law of One relativity disappears.

So with relativity we defeat the polar opposite pairs. How? The best way to understand it, is with an example and lets now take the pain and pleasure example.


Pain and Pleasure Overcome When…

When the yearning to be with our inner Being and the pain of not being close to our inner Being surpasses (is more than) the pleasure provided by the ego then we are ready to overcome both pain and pleasure to seriously die in the egos that have bi-polarised the value, which could be sexuality, eating, balance, majesty, love etc.

Before that point we are stuck, we must simply continue fighting until we arrive at this point.

End (2157).

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...
