The Inner Man and Sacred Individuality - (2713)

Sacred Individuality and the Creation of the Inner Man

As we work on ourselves we come to create the inner man.

Creating the inner man is the first step towards sacred individuality. 

We may ask: "What is sacred individuality?". It is the individuality of the inner Being within the person. It is the autonomy of the inner Being to function from inside towards the outside in the person. It is also the inner Being expressing itself by virtue of itself.

We can not arrive at any level of individuality without having created something within ourselves. That 'something' is something that is ours and functions based on foundations lying within ourselves. If we have not made anything within ourselves then we have very little to base our individuality on. 


How is the Inner Man Created

We create the inner man using the principles of the psychological and esoteric work. The inner man is the one that applies the work on him or herself and in doing so creates a new person within. A person that works psychologically, remembers the inner Being and lives out of the qualities of the essence and does not obey the old ways of the personality and the egos.  

These principles are ethical and spiritual in nature.

The Start

When we decide that our inner values or qualities are more important to us than reacting with the ego we are starting to create our individual­ity.

When we hold onto our nobility, sweetness and balance when pressured with another's anger and impatience we are strengthening our sacred individuality.

Sacred individuality is a living expression of the remembering of the inner Being.

Inner Qualities

The inner Being among many other ways can be known through the qualities of the essence.

Remembering

When we know and remember that we have certain qualities and live these qualities we are doing a version of self-remembering.

For each ego we work on we need a specific kind of self-remembering. That is, remembering the inner Being through the quality of the Being that is the remedy for that ego.

For example, when lust is present we must remember our Inner Divinity through transmutation. That is to go to our Being with our transmuted sexual energy. When fear is present remember the trust of our inner Divinity. When self-love is present love the inner Divinity, remember the Being through love for the Being.

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...
