Why Not Wanting the Ego is Critical – (2515)

The Will of the Ego is the Worst

The strongest and most problematic part of any ego is the causal or will part of it.

The will part of it is the wanting part, and often that part does not obey our mind.

We can not dismantle it or overcome it with mental reasoning. It just wants, and that is what our mind can not grapple with. And it wants so compellingly and powerfully to boot…

As I have mentioned here several times, only another will or the consciousness (comprehension) can reckon with the will of the ego.

When we have within us the will that we do not want the ego anymore, that is such a critical conclusion to have come to. More important and critical than we imagine.

When for example, we say about the ego of lust that we are really tired of being deceived, tricked and ruining ourselves and we don’t want that any more in our life then we are getting close to witnessing the start of the decline of that ego.

As soon as the deep wanting based on the experience of the suffering of the ego enters into activity in us, we are ready to be able to defeat the will of that ego.

Until then we go back and forth, back and forth…


Conclusion

Get the wanting, feel fed up and not want to suffer the pain of that ego and the painful circumstances and feelings that it unfolds in our life.

End (2515).

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...
