What! Everyone has a Mind But Not Everyone has a Mental Body?

What! Everyone has a Mind But Not Everyone has a Mental Body? – (2385)

Manasic Substance

The answer to this question, we can refer to what master Samael says about the Manasic substance.

He says that in that everyone's inner constitution there is an amount of Manasic substance. That amount of Manasic substance has been deposited into us.

This amount of Manasic substance is our mind, and further more this Manasic substance is intimately related with our psychology.

Our Psychology

Our psychology is made up of our essence and this Manasic substance. The two substances overlap and intermingle and together they produce for us our psychological space and material.

Master Samael gives us an important key, he says that in any ego there are two substances or elements that are bottled up or conditioned. They are a fraction of the essence and a fraction of our Manasic substance.

In short the Manasic substance, is the substance of the mind and also of will. The word Manasic comes from the Sanskrit word: Manas which means "mind" or the "processes of mind".

The hindu teachings says that lower or inferior Manas is mind and superior or upper Manas is will.

In summary here the Manasic substance that has been deposited into us gives us our mind and our will.

Manasic Substance is not the Mental Body

Master Samael later on emphasizes that the Manasic substance is mind, but it is certainly not the mental body.

We can conclude that a person with a mental body obviously has a stronger mind and much more Manasic substance available to him or her. In fact a person with a mental body is one who has created for him or herself their very own quantity of concentrated, and intelligently organised Manasic substance.

The Manasic substance is the material of the mental world. The material of the universal mind and also of the Causal world.

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...
