Ethics of the Path - (4413)

I think that it is useful to know the ethics by which the path works. Because if we know the ethics we can apply them to align ourselves to the path. 


How does my Inner Being function? How does my Inner Being relate with others and how does my Inner Being do things in the sphere of life, psychology and in the esoteric and magical fields as well as in the field of the Spirit?


The answer to that question is that our Inner Being does those things based on ethics. What are those ethics that our Inner Being functions, operates and conducts itself by?


We may answer in our mind by saying It functions by It's own ethics - and for sure yes that has to be right, or we say by the ethics of Its consciousness - yes that would be right too and also yes there is a common ground - the consciousness of the Being is light and everyone else can see the light and understand the light and this common understanding make up the ethics of the Being.


What is ethical to one Being will also be ethical to another. Such as the esoteric ethics...


The path we are taught also partakes of our inner Being and how our Inner Being operates. So the ethics of the path are also the ethics of our Inner Being. The ethics that we learn by doing the path are not something that we do the opposite of when we are fully fused into our Being. So yes they are of our Inner Being. So doing the ethics of the path we are doing what our Being would do!


In truth there are many ethics. Nearly every human field has its ethics. There are ethics in business, in politics, in Science, in medicine, in esotericism and there must be ethics in the path.


We can only imagine that the path would work with a superior set of ethics.


The ethics of the path works by means of esoteric values, principles and laws. The ethics of the path are not a set of rules or code of conduct or a set of good manners...


Even criminals work by a set of ethics or code of conduct... 


The ego feels threatened by a superior set of ethics. Because it knows that it is ready to live it and that means it's has to die. So having the ego we have to be realistic and see that some extra ethics apply - with the biggest extra one being the ethic of dissolving the ego.


The ethics of dissolving the ego is the biggest ethic for us to adhere to. In fact with this one action we come into line with the all the ethics. 


The ethical triangle is the triangle of Atman, Buddhi and Manas. Ethics come from down through the Spirit, then the consciousness and then the soul.


Eight-Fold Path gives us much orientation.

8. wise concentration


To be continued...

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...
