Ethics and the Path

Ethics and the Path - (4161)

The path has its ethics. I don't think we can deny this...

The ethics of the path is what distinguishes it from so many other spiritual schools and movements.

There exists what is called cosmic moral laws, which are a part of the path or are not indifferent to the path. Cosmic moral laws are the psychological aspect of the cosmic laws, that's all.

The ethics of the path is its foundation and its strength.

A person upholding the ethics of the path is his or her strength, protection and guide.

One could even say that the path is a gradual incarnation of the ethics of the spirit.

What are ethics? It is the upholding of the principles and laws of the spirit and the cosmos.

It only makes sense to say that ethics are to be upheld. If the sun were to forget about upholding its ethic of giving of itself everyday, life in the solar system would suffer. But the Sun never fails in giving - it never fails its ethic.

Just one of the ethics of the path says that if the Kundalini is awake and there is the loss of the sexual energy then the kundalini will descend depending on the degree of the fault.

Technical skills and ethics are very different.

Normally we don't pay attention to morals because we know they change and depend upon time and space. But ethics are really different. They prevail over space and time, personality and mind.

The ethics of the path are the ethics of perfection. There are degrees and degrees. The ethic of the work is the work towards its ultimate goal which is the perfection of the different parts of the Being.

The dissolution of the ego supports ethics and the ethics of the path requires the dissolution of the ego.

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...
