Self-Compassion Combines with Other "I's" - (2962)

Self-Compassion as said earlier is the one that sets up a will against oneself. It sets up will to go against ourselves in many different ways. The way that it goes against ourselves has a lot to do with the events or circumstances in which self-compassion has become manifest.

The word self-compassion is a very limited word to describe this ego and even when one hears one does not really get a good idea of what this ego is about. It is about having compassion for ourselves in the wrong way, in the negative way. The right self-compassion is about accepting responsibility and acting to pay what is owed. This is to have compassion for ourselves to act so to redeem and clear our debts, not feeling terribly down about ourselves and making the debt worse by going against ourselves.


Anyway back to the topic...

So this ego of self-compassion combines with other "I's" to set up a powerful whirlwind of will power energy that drags other elements in its wake so to go against ourselves. It combines with anger to really ruin things almost to the point of non-repair, it combines with gluttony to eat oneself sick into obesity, it combines with pride to destroy our image, reputation and tell everyone how much of a failure we are, it combines with lust to ruin our vitality and spirituality, it combines with alcohol to loose respect for ourselves, it combines with laziness to go into depression and let everything go into abandon, it combines with envy to feel even more of a failure, it combines with resentment to hate and darken our heart - moving further away from the healing power of our essence and our Divine Mother, etc. etc. 

So in conclusion then, self-compassion is a will negative will powered whirlwind that drags other elements into it and veers off always along the same course to an extreme. Balance knocks this ego quite hard on the head! Balance is a powerful remedy.

Having gone to an extreme is always a costly exercise to pull oneself back on track. So then, while a person has this ego and it manifests the first thing that one should stop is these two things:

1.) Try hard that this ego does not combine itself with another element.
2.) Try hard that this ego does not take us to one extreme.

End (2962).

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...
