Balance of the Centres Notes – (2609)

Harmony

The centres of the human machine have been designed to operate in harmony. The harmony of the centres is all the centres working in a balanced way, and a lot has to be said about this.

The harmony and balance that exists within the heavenly spheres and the starry skies was originally within us and can be once again within us.

Balancing Principle

A balancing principle is required to restore and maintain balance. A principle situated above the centres, located in a higher governing dimension is the one which can install balance and harmony among the centres.

A balancing principle within us is always the essence or the consciousness.

The consciousness is balance. Whatever is balanced is that which does not cause pain, suffering or illness.

Our consciousness is that which knows and has the wisdom, the vision and awareness to restore and maintain balance.

Within the wisdom of the balancing principle is the knowledge of the use and abuse of the centres. Also knowledge of the properties of the centres and their many functions. Also a knowledge of their orbits is present.

Ego Does not Know Balance

The ego is always an extreme and within its nature there is not balance and therefore it can not strike the balance.

The ego does not have the vision nor the awareness to strike a balance. It can not see the whole, it only sees its interests.

As a whole the human machine with its seven centres was designed to be balanced.


When there is Balance

Balance arrives when all the centres are used, not just one. Balance amongst the centres is defined as the centres working together making up a harmonious whole.

A centre working more than the others is not balance. A centre gone rogue and working in isolation to the other centres is not balance either.

A centre that functions without consideration to the other centres is not balanced or harmonious.

A centre leaving its orbit breaks the balance. This happens typically when we one centre is used for everything, or used outside of its appropriate sphere.

The role of each centre in relation to the other centres is to keep each centre in its orbit.

The consciousness is the power that is able to determine which centre is the appropriate response. 

Which event requires the use of which centre is the domain of the consciousness.

But we can lay down a principle and say that in a given event if all centres are used then we are closer to the balance and the right response.

Intervention of Ego

The intervention of the ego within us causes imbalance among our centres. The balance of the centres entails that each orbit is maintained, and each centre is kept to its orbit.

For the health and well-being of the whole human machine the centres must be cycled through. Intellect to emotion to motor to intellect, repeating the cycle.

The person who is wise can help him or herself immensely by making use of the change of centres.

Because of the ego we gravitate to the inferior side of the centres. Which are the negative thoughts, the negative emotions and the harmful actions. Those actions which harm others and ourselves.

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...
