Anger Burst and the Instinctive Centre - (3168)

Instinctive Centre

Anger has a lot to do with the instinctive centre.

When a person is tired and hungry anger easily appears, and this has much to do with the instinctive centre.

Being tired and lacking food are ultimately all to do with the a lack of energy. Anger and a lack of energy go hand in hand.

We may come home late at night after a long and busy day's work and have spent the night giving a class and fielding questions, then when one is just about to retire - you hear your name being called to help fix a problem with the phone or the computer. You think why just now, why not ten minutes earlier, I'm pretty tired and have been working hard - give me a break etc. etc.

We are tired yet we get angry and are filled with energy...

We march down there and forcefully solve the situation... 


Certainly not all that good. Much could have been done better. 

Contradiction - Tired and Hungry - No Force Yet with Anger Full of Force

Such a contradiction - tired and no energy but within a few seconds we are angry and full of apparent strength. What is going on there?

One is that the instinctive centre works by supplying a large amount of energy in a  burst. It does not slow release energy. Because we are not trained in how to deal with a burst of energy we channel it against the other person or situation.

Second our mind perceived that we were lacking energy and that it thought that we should not be bothered - that we should be looked upon with some consideration. The outburst of anger shows us the body really has stores of energy that we do not perceive.

Third, when there is less energy, anger must appear in an untrained person, because anger comes to inject force into our system to solve the difficulty. 

As a general rule, when there is less energy there is anger. When a person loses the sexual energy such a person will inevitably fall into becoming very angry. Because of the lack of energy.

Third, the lesson to learn is to know how to fill ourselves up with energy. The virtues require energy to function. Patience for example is one of these virtues. When we inject energy into ourselves we feel less self-considering and therefore less angry. But most importantly to note, with energy in our system we can act with the virtues.  

Anger protects the interests of other egos. So if we know how to drop the interests of the other egos anger will disappear and if we know that it is false we are not really tired we have lots of energy in reserve. When we are truly really tired we certainly have no force to get angry.

The very deep instinctive relationship to anger is dissolved really int he second mountain in the labours of Hercules.

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...
