Big Ego Means Big Ignoramus in a Given Area

Big Ego Means Big Ignoramus in a Given Area - (3635)

The bigger a person's egos are, the more ignorant they are to the realities of the area of life those egos move in.

The crux of this post is that if we learn to relate to something esoterically we will be create space inside of ourselves to be able to gradually put the egos aside more and more.

That is where the teachings come in. The teachings expand our understanding to see those realities that the big egos can't see.

Usually the big egos have a very materialistic view, they only see the physical.

The teachings expand our view to see the psychological as well as the esoteric.

To study the teachings is helpful to dissolve the egos.

The teachings give us the wider esoteric view. When we relate to something in the wider esoteric way we can begin to be able to really change.

If we see the sexual energy from the esoteric sense we begin to change in that area, when we see money esoterically we also begin to change - less greed and selfishness.

A very interesting key is to begin to study the teachings and learn how to see and relate to all these things in life from an esoteric point of view. Then we give ourselves the ability to give the ego less and less of a role in the different areas of life.

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...
