Hypnotic Grip of the Ego Notes - (4340)

Introduction

This post is a collection of some notes from a talk given a few nights ago about the hypnotic grip of the ego. The notes are practical in nature and are presented with the intention to be of some help. 


Typical Scenario

A man looks at the casino from across the street. He knows he has a 'gambling problem" and has experienced much misfortune because of it and has the conviction that he is not going to step a foot into the place. 


Yet his attention gets hooked onto the building, the front door and the little bit that he can see going on inside. He continues to look and then he sees some people celebrating, some sitting at the edge of their seat, some leisurely walking around. Then his memory fires and he remembers the good times and good feelings he has had and then he begins to forget his convictions and he takes a few steps towards the casino. Then he stops and remembers again. Then he says: "just for a few minutes and then I'll go home". Then that's it the next thing he knows he's in the casino opening his wallet and the gambling person dwelling in his psyche is in control until the sad consequences arrive and wake him up. 


Do the things we Don't Want to Do

The hypnotic grip or power of any ego makes us to end up doing the thing s that we didn't want to do or say or in general don't want to do or say.


When we have a conviction not to do something before entering the difficult scenario sometimes we do what we don't want to do double or triple.


Hypnotist

When a hypnotist performs his or her work we can discern a few basic elements. Those elements are that one, the hypnotist is the one that now has control to direct the course of events and the control to introduce any element that he or she wishes. There is a belief that the person under hypnosis is now believing and the hypnotist has access to the psyche of the person under hypnosis.


The situation with the essence and the ego is exactly the same. The ego becomes the hypnotist and the essence becomes the one under hypnosis.


Hypnosis

Hypnosis in Gnosis is the state of dreaming or sleeping consciousness. 


Hypnosis Elements

Access, control and belief are the major elements when a person is under the hypnotic spell of the ego.


When an ego grips us with its hypnotic power - through believing in the statement of the ego we give it access to our psychology and then to the brains of our human machine and then it gains control of our human machine. 


The key here is belief. We believe in the ego's logic and its statement or arguments.


Kundabuffer and Sexual Energy

The Kundabuffer is the original fascinating and hypnotizing element which was given to humanity in very remotely ancient times to make the human being fascinated with terrestrial life.



Identification

The role of the hypnotic grip of the ego is to get us to identify with it. Which means to take on its identity or to become the same as it. Or to give an excessive amount of our attention and time to it.


Antidote

Comprehension, Revelation and Action is the antidote here. These elements are the reversal points of belief, access and control. When we comprehend we don't believe - we stop believing and when we experience a revelation from our consciousness - our consciousness is in control and when we act based on the revelation and comprehension we give our consciousness our human machine - which is the right thing to do.



Pass the Tests - All About Hypnotic Grip

To pass the esoteric tests we are submitted to either physically or internally we need to be above the hypnotic grip of the ego that is provoked in the test.


Strong Ego and Weak Ego

What makes a strong ego is the strength of its hypnotic grip over us. A weak ego is one whose hypnotic grip is less of a grip and has less power over us - us being our essence.


Control = Weak Hypnotic Grip

We gain control over any ego when we have weakened enough the hypnotic grip of the ego we are working on.


End (4340).

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...
