Pride Goes to Many Negative States but this can be Remedied

Pride Goes to Many Negative States but this can be Remedied - (4172)

I'm going to post here what I have experienced and what I have been taught. I will let you know which is which.

I was taught that the origin of hatred is pride. It all starts with pride. It goes like this: hurt pride or hurt self-love to resentment to organised resentment to hatred.

My experience is that this is true. My experience is that hurt pride can also lead to many other negative states that come from other egos such as self-importance or self-compassion even fear.

I want to add that from my experience pride produces different lacks within us. Then we feel strongly usually similar to like a need, to fill these lacks. We usually automatically feel we need that lack filled by someone else...

Doing this, that is filling the lack through someone else, is from my experience like selling ourselves cheap. We buy the cheap product instead of working to get a true good quality long lasting product. We get that good quality thing going for us when we work on the pride that got hurt. We have to go all the way back to the pride that got hurt. There's the key. That is what I use and it really works every time for me.

For example someone pointed out that we are not really up to scratch in a certain area and we are not doing well, we are really dreaming. When we don't see this or accept this or go inside and meet the truth of this we will feel a hurt and a lacking and we will look for an apology, love, kindness, support or some kind of compensation from the person who made these remarks or from others.

When we accept that and begin to do something about it we give ourselves the real solution and pride steps back and back and disappears leaving us to feel good again.

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...
