Inferiority Makes for Jealousy

Inferiority Makes for Jealousy - (4289)

A feeling or belief about being inadequate or inferior is fertile psychological grounds for jealousy to grow.

We may feel less and that is manageable but as soon as someone else who is better in some way or another appears then jealousy rears its ugly head as it is said.

These are the two 'as old as it comes' conditions for jealousy to appear in us.

They also give us the remedy.

Which are: don't compare and don't feel inferior. To stop feeling inferior we need to close the gaps. Feel well and complete with yourself and feel well and complete with the other person.

That inferior feeling can be about anything. We may due to our coldness and lack of ability to care or love other people, feel inferior to others who are very warm and kind. We may feel inferior in certain capacities such as knowledge, intelligence, patience, kindness, flexibility of character, strength of character, physical aspects such as looks, body etc. etc. the list can go on and on. The main thing is that there is a feeling of inferiority in some field, and that feeling of inferiority is the issue, because it is believed that that field is important and it well be important to the other person or people we relate to.

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...
