Change Polarity to 'Giving' - Ego is 'Undoing'

Change Polarity to 'Giving' - Ego is 'Undoing' - (3589)

A rather potent drowsiness this afternoon... Hope what I write makes sense, my logic is a bit fuzzy.

The many egos that we have are polarised in one direction more than any other direction.

There are only really two directions for the ego. Lunar and solar. Good old duality again.

Because the ego is lunar in nature it is polarised in the way of receiving. Because the lunar nature is just that, it is not a radiator or generator, it is a reflector and it is cold and lacking life. Very much the opposite of the sun.

We know well how self-love is all about receiving love don't we. It gives not to give, but to receive. It is all geared up just to receive. This is all because it can't love the essence or the Being within. Once we have love inside for our inner Being, we can then love others. As m.m.m says we can't give what we don't have.

Anyhow what I want to get at in this post is that lust is like that too. It is a massive receiver. If it gives it is to receive. A person may find another attractive, alright alright, that is not lust yet, that is a certain recognition. Though as soon as it extends past this point and words enter our mind about that person then complications enter. Lust is one of these complications.

Lust certainly enters when there is an expectation of being liked back. Wanting the other to like us as we like them. Lust wants others to like us in the attractive sexual sense etc.

Imagine if we just recognise that the person is attractive and then not begin any movement from within and not change anything.

Anyhow if we like another but are not expecting that like back we don't have any one of these egos of self-love or lust hanging around in our psychology.

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...
