Main Thing to Dissolve with the Body Egos – (2645)

The main thing to dissolve is that thing of the mind, that for example, makes you to eat when you are not hungry, rest when you are not tired and turn to other instinctive functions of the body when out of sync with the environment and time of day etc.

Usually the ego in the mind tries to make you eat, rest etc. when in a state of boredom, stress, disquiet, upset or just in the everyday routine.

The egos of gluttony, laziness and lust force the instinctive centre to function. This forcing of the instinctive centre is the first thing that we must work on.


When we work on this we will discover that a large part of the problem is due to this beguiling forcing done by the ego.

Behind this beguiling forcing is of course a logic and of course concepts. The first beguiling concepts it that the body needs to eat or rest. This concept is worth questioning.

We feel tired, sleepy or hunger pains but they can be made to go by diverting our attention or focussing our attention on something else. That is really where the use of our will comes into play.

If we can break the hypnotic grip of the mind, and come to realise deeply that it is the ego behind making us want to eat, rest etc. then the battle is mostly won and it is a matter of separating the ego each time that it appears and asking the Divine Mother to eliminate it until it is gone.

End (2645).

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...
