We Forget the Conscious States

We Forget the Conscious States - (2269)

Remember in the Opportune Moment

What we should remember are the states where we were more conscious and we were able to clearly see the folly of the ego.

Having a clear memory of being in these higher than normal states of consciousness helps us greatly when battling the ego.

If we can remember these states and the firm conclusions that we came to about the ego in these states we can help tip the scales in our favour (essence) when battling that ego.

For example, after having worked on the an ego for a while and having managed to isolate it from the human machine one may come to the understanding and conviction that life is much easier and better without this ego and one is much happier and all that that ego brings is bitterness, angst and suffering. It is often this understanding that we forget.

The Tendency

The tendency is to dismiss these conclusions and convictions generated when were in a higher state of consciousness. Naturally as soon as we dismiss these conclusions the battle is lost.

We need to use our memory and pour consciousness to build a bridge between the present moment and that moment where we were more conscious. This is so that we can live more connected to our higher states of consciousness in a much more continuous way. This helps one to be more conscious and to keep the consciousness more active and for longer.

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...
