Working on Personality Notes 2 - (4595)

Issue

The issue with the personality is that it is a strong conditioning factor. Its conditioning factor is such that it makes it very hard for us to accept something or go along with something that our personality does not like.


Refined Personality

The personality certainly changes over the course of our life. Basically what changes are the level of its horizontal values. The values are all horizontal life values but they change from wearing very casual worn out clohtes to more formal wear - jackets and blazers etc. From the pub to the cafe'. Really what we do over the course of our life related to the personality is "polishing a ball of excrement".


Pacify Personality

What helps is to pacify the personality. That is the work that we need to do with it.


To know how to pacify the personality we must know when it is active.


Once we are aware that it is active we can then relax adn pacify it.


The key is spending less time in the personality. The less we spend there the more passive it will get. 


Here are examples of what the active personality looks like in the centres of the human machine.


Examples In the Centres of Active Personality

Examples of Personality Active in the human machine about how to passify it.


To passify it we just need to know how to not activiate it.


We need to know examples of what active personality is. 


Intellect Centre

Counteracting and arguing. Nothing about thinking in relation to the Gnostic doctrine. Identified with everything outside. Exaggerated attention on small useless details, excessive thinking. Thinking activates the personality. Rules and procedures, protocols, stuck in time, preoccupation.


Emotional Centre

Yearns for sensations in matter, to be not interferred with or told what to do etc. Corrected, my life, the trend of the times. Neglectful or hypersensitive, moral issues. Dislike and like. Vested interests, loves good impressions about itself, loves titles, values titles and reputations. 


Motor Centre

Life activities is, active, doing, talking. It most expresses itself in the motor centre. Very active motor centre. Related to our occupation. Can not feel at peace until things have been done in the house or office. Can't stop doing things. Playing sports, going out, talking and talking etc.


Instinctive Centre

Habits, my way, inflexible in a group, no co-operation, imposing, conducting our own life. Eating what we like only and rejecting what we don't like.


Sexual Centre

Mistaking a smile for sexual interest, wolf-whistling, clothing, flirtacious chit chat, imitating trends etc.

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...
