The 'More' - the Reason for Being Oh No

The 'More' - the Reason for Being Oh No - (3800)

A problem with the 'more' egos is that the drive for 'more' becomes the reason for being.

"The reason for being of the Being is the same Being". The reason for being of the Being is not 'the more'. It will never be 'the more'.

This is when we have really forgotten our own Being. Forgetting the Being is a bad omen and rolls in the clouds of suffering.

When we forget our own Being this way, we stop 'to be' and we drive, strive, fight and suffer trying to be more, and then we identify/define our being or existence as the ever striving for 'more'. Which appeals to many people, but the experience of it is suffering, the spikes of relativity always pinch us in this suffering.

Sunset over the Indian was not far off.

In this state we always live in the future and never in the 'now' and 'now' is only where we find our consciousness.

If we are not more or we can't be more, we (the ego) suffer because we believe we are not anything. Because we have previously erroneously defined ourselves as being 'more'.

In reality the 'more' does not exist. It is not an absolute, it does not have an absolute existence. We are always more than others and other others are more than us. So who is more in the big picture? There may be more people that are more than us than who we are more than? How can we know?

The real absolute more is being more within ourselves, that is being more than ourselves. Because the normal ‘more’ always needs someone else and is relative always. The more makes us totally dependent on others.

Many of the egos have their particular way of being more. Pride, jealousy, self-love, self-importance, greed, laziness, lust, ambition, envy etc. etc.

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...
