What Happens If I Decide that what a Person Has Done is Not Wrong or Bad?

What Happens If I Decide that what a Person Has Done is Not Wrong or Bad? - (2356)

Answer

We would not feel hurt, disappointed, upset, betrayed, humiliated etc. etc.

Freedom to Decide

The problem is that we don’t have the freedom to decide that. The ego with its karmic loading is too strong to even let us think that we can decide even for the second.

The pain that the ego engulfs us with is so strong that we can’t think of anything else but about how wrong, bad and painful it all is.

But you know we can decide!

Then sometimes we know that but we don’t want to. Well that is another thing. This freedom to decide comes from a lot of work on the ego, but it does open up! That is true!

Concepts

It all comes down to concepts, to what we consider is bad or wrong. We think that what we consider is bad or wrong is absolute but that is not true, what is truer is that we have a relative consideration of what is bad or wrong.

If our concepts of what is bad or wrong are worked down, the pain of the ego ceases!

No matter where those concepts are, at the surface of our mind or deep buried in the subconscious we have to get to them and unravel them. Question them and see how in absolute terms they are true or not.

If you do this you will see that things change within your mind then within you.

End (2356).

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...
