How the Ego is Dissolved in Involution?

How the Ego is Dissolved in Involution? - (4898)

By starvation!

I have often wondered about how the psychological aggregates of human beings are dissolved in the process of involution or devolution.

We know by the teachings if we are given the chance to dissolve them here in life but if we don't nature will take charge of dissolving it for us.

I reflect that in nature living creatures die: by violence from other creatures, by starvation, by accidents, by old age and by illness. As the ego is psychological and energetic it won't die by old age or by illness or by violence or by accident. Leaving only starvation as the only means of dying.

Furthermore, other creatures and the abrasive elements of nature take care of decomposing the corpses that living creatures leave behind.

The same in the process of involution/devolution that takes place in the abyss of nature or the entrails of the Earth.

When the human condition is lost and the egos enter into the bodies of animals many egos are forced to die by starvation. They are the egos of the intellect. This is because animals do not have an intellectual centre and so all those egos of the intellect in time die by starvation. There is no way for them to manifest and receive impressions that would keep them alive.

As a plant the egos of the emotional centre die and as a mineral the egos of the motor centre die thus completing the process.

The order of death is motor centre, emotional centre and intellectual center. The order of liberation is intellectual centre, emotional centre and motor centre. The process of involution is a process of liberating the essence from its conditioning.

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...
