A Gift Returned – (2681)

Introduction

A didactic examination by the consciousness of this event that befalls one from time to time in the events and circumstances of life.

Roles

  • Narrator
  • Ego
  • Person
  • Consciousness


Script

Narrator:              Before we begin, it is useful to set the background of this event. This event of life can typically bring out the egos of pride, self-love and self-compassion. Perhaps just one or a combination of all three or just two. For this demonstration we will focus on the combination of pride and self-love.

                                The person in this demonstration is a person who is working on him or herself and really wishes to dissolve the ego, as do we.

        So, the person played by (use name of person) wants to repair some previous harm done and presents a gift to a person. The person takes the gift and a second later returns it ordering the person to take it back stating that he/she does not want it.

Person:                You don’t want it?

Narrator:             The person suffers a very brief initial shock and remains briefly silent as in                                     disbelief of what has just happened.

Ego:                       To the emotional centre: impudent, arrogant, selfish, hard, impenetrable, no acceptance, no recognition. Brick wall. Pain!

Person:                I feel a painful emotion. Uncomfortable and intense.

Narrator:             Now the first conscious shock appears in the person. The recognition or rediscovery of the ego of self-love.

Person:                An ego is now suffering quite intensely. It is not me - the essence that suffers. It is that ego which suffers. It is one block of my psychology (essence) that does not remember the Being in me that is suffering. Because the consciousness would and can transform this, the essence would not suffer like this. I need Separation! Separate! Separate!

Narrator:             The person has now a clear vision of the situation unfolding within him or herself. Of course, the ego is strong and it has not finished. Its power of will is yet is to enter more intensely into manifestation. The ego’s tools to now continue to try and win the battle is its hypnotic grip, which is the combination of beguiling reasoning and desire. Let's see...

Ego:                       To the intellectual centre. I feel I need to do something about it. It is terribly unfair. I made a sincere effort, I took time and invested thought and emotion, the money was honestly earnt to buy that gift. It was given in good will. Something must be said or done to right the situation. Send force and impulses to speak and act to right this situation. The will to force the other to see that they are wrong.

Person:                I still feel that pain. It does not stop. It feels now very uncomfortable. I feel right now I have a choice: go with the pain and make the other know what they have made me feel or seek the light and transform the pain which is darkness into light.

Narrator:             Now the battle is getting difficult.

Person:                I must look to the consciousness to transform these psychological processes and to bring light. Focus the attention in the consciousness. Strengthen the free will: “I am not going to get identified, I am not that one who suffers the essence takes this differently not with suffering”. The essence, the essence, the essence.

Narrator:             Now some inquiry to transform the darkness of pain into light is very useful here.

Person:                Let me examine the thought "it is unfair". Is it truly unfair? Well I did do something hurtful before. Well, truly it is in some way fair, it is not really unfair.

Narrator:             Inquiry and transformation continues. The hypnotic belief of untruths must be broken.

to be continued...

End (2681).

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...
