Esoteric Identity and Esoteric Life Class Notes - (4844)

Class

These notes were taken down and posted from a class that m.m.m gave this Tuesday night online.


Notes

We need an esoteric identity to elaborate an esoteric life.


It can't be any other way. To have an intiamte esoteric life we need to have and foster an esoteric identity.


The identity is what we forget, and when we forget our identity we lose our esoteric life. 


When we fell we forgot our identity. 


Even in life when we forget that we are a parent, a teacher, a doctor, a priest, a lawyer, a mayor etc. we fall and we do things that are not at all becoming of a parent, a teacher, a doctor, a priest etc. 


To have an esoteric life we need esoteric goals and a line of achievements and goals. We need to be achieving something. We need to be in a line of development.


Our identity as a soul is one thing and our identity on the path is something else. 


When we have an esoteric identity we are identified internally by the masters of the internal worlds.


By virtue of our identity "I am". We are what we are. We are what our identity is.


Our internal face is very different to our physical face. Our internal face takes shape based on the quality of our inner psychic life. We could all be very ugly internally meanwhile our psychic life is so ugly.




To have an esoteric life we just need to dedicate ourselves to the path.


To be an esotericist in the five centres is what produces an esoteric inner life.


We live the esoteric teachings inside of ourselves. It is not just experinces it is to live new and more esoteric states of consciousness.


We can say that to live an esoteric life is to live in a series of states of consciousness produced by our esoteric work.


Karma gives us the strength to pass through very difficult circumstances, which are our karma. The difficult circumstances are our karma.


The instinctive memory of the path brings us back to the path and at the same time it fills our subconscious full of fear, and to avoid feeling that fear we throw ourselves deeply into life. 


Our subconscious knows that the path will make us to pay all of our debts. We know deep down that will be painfiul.


Esotericism gives us the chance to consciously reclaim our place.


By only having an esoteric identity we can develop an esoteric inner life.


We can develop our identity as a soul, which is to develop a life dedicated to relating in a dignifying and edifying way for and with our Inner Being.


To acheive an esoteric identity we need the spiritual symbiosis.


The most important point is to never forget our identity.


The key about our identity is to know all about what it implies. That is the most important thing.


The path is for sound and balanced minds and personalities.


As soon as we have the esoteric identity we have the consciousness.


Using or exercising the right identity will help us to raise our level of being and it will also help us to give the correct answer to the events of life as well as to awaken. 


We need to use the powers of: consciousness, trust, love, hope and faith to speak and this will transform our life.


We need to figure out which value we need to use to help us express more our consciousness. It could be faith, it could be love. it could be trust...


We can never use what we don't remember.


We can't give what we don't have.


The best moment to practice self-remembering and the spiritual symbiosis is in the morning and at night.


The key is the flavour. The flavour allows us to distinguish the flavour of 'life' and the flavour of the path. If we can not tell the difference between the two we will end up failing.


When we have or Inner Being at the centre we don't need to chose anymore.


The question of what to be and what not to be is a matter of using reference points to guide us.


If we experience the same recurrence over and over again. We have not raised our level of Being.


If we are locked in a drama, to be able to leave it we need to improve our state of consciousness in receiving and giving. In the way of receiving the event better and giving a better or more correct answer to the event.


When change our state of consciousness we change the correlation of forces within ourselves.


What is it to be awakened? What is it to be the awakened consciousness?


Who are we? We are either one of five things: personality, sleeping consciousness, essence, consciousness or mind. We are either at any given moment one of these five things.


Who is speaking? Is it the mind, the personality, the ego, the consciousness?


We need to chose the right behaviour. Which all comes from the awakened consciousness.


When we explain the teachings so much we end up ruining the teaching and losing the conscious nature of the teaching and the state of consciousness that apprehended it.


The fact that many initiaites fell was because they had not yet left the realm of the mind.


End (4844).

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...
