The Originator of Cruelty Within Us Is?

The Originator of Cruelty Within Us Is? - (2892)

Reading Time: 1 minute ⏲

Answer: Pride

The defect of Pride and its "I's" are the originators of cruelty that are personified later on by certain other "I's" of cruelty.

It is precisely pride when it feels superior and does not feel the need to maintain any link for any benefit that it disdains, dismisses and falls negatively against - cruelty.

Why are human beings cruel to another and why are human beings cruel to animals, is all becasue of this, becasue of pride. The sense of superiority.

The sense of superiority produces disregard, and dismissal. The pain and suffering of others are dismissed. Even when pride is so great the suffering of those whom it considers inferior is not even valid. How horrifying is that ignorance.

Because of pride we dismiss totally another person's right to suffer or even an animal's right to feel pain and suffer. This makes us cruel. Pride believes its pain and suffering is the only legitimate one. Certainly not true!

There are so many ways that we can be indifferent to the pain of others. Just ignoring it is one way. But mind you when it is genuine and a tactic to get attention.

We are linked and are we are one. Who is superior and who is inferior when we are all one and all dependent on one another?

The proof is just find someone who is superior to us and we will never be cruel to them. Or unless resentment builds up in us for some reason.

No Mercy

The best advice is the instant that one discovers such an "I". Straight to the fire of the Divine Mother with it. With the will of wanting it dead and the comprehension such "I's" have no place in the aspirant to the light.

End (2992).

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...
