Causal Factors Class Notes - (5022)

Statement

Notes taken during an online class.


Notes

Ultimately everything is internal. All our physical ailments ultimately have their cause deep within us.


The cause of the cause is the consciousness. Either awakened or asleep consciousness.


Etiology is the study of causes.


The actions of the essence affect all the parts of the Being. The essence is really the author of the dharma and karma.


Why does the essence have all this power, when the Being is the supreme power? A mystery!


The essence controls the physical body via the five senses. There are certain determining factors which we need to become aware of, if we truly wish to author our life differently to the direction in which it is currently following.


Note that the essence comes from the causal world. It is really a mini human soul. That is why when the essence grows she becomes the human soul.  


The essence develops itself into the category of soul. 


The centre of gravity of life is Atman and the centre of gravity in life is the essence.


The centre of gravity of life is not our mind. This is a great relief. All the negativity that the mind presents us with is NOT the centre, it is the side issue certainly not the central issue. The central issue is the essence.


To be able to cause for the Being we need to have an element of the identity of the Being active in us.


The aim of the essence is to arrive at the causal factors.


The most important thing is to keep our identity as an essence. The flow of life, the categorical imperative will become natural. 


The flow of life and the categorical imperative are instruments of causation. That is, of the cause making process. The causal making prcocesses must be caused in us, that is initiatied within us.


We have two ways of causing. One is from the mind and the other is directly from the causal world. In the second type the awakeneded consciousness causes in contact with the causal world.


Causing is the greatest power that the human beings have. It just depends on who is there causing. 


The sleeping consciousness does not know about the flow of life. This is because of the wrong perception of the event.


"Live from moment to moment in the flow of life that comes from me." Says the Inner being.


The most important fundament of the awakening is the IDENTITY! To awaken we must firmly take up the identity of the essence! 


Normally our identity comes from the abyss.


Karma really conditions our identity. The strong karma we have that often flattens us, contributes to creating within us a low self-image.


When others treat us as useless, the karma is teaching us a lesson that says: "Stand up and become useful and eliminate those weaknesses that make us weak.".


Why do we receive such tough treatment? Because we see ourselves as inferior and we attract that so that we can learn that lesson to overcome that harsh treatment.


The Divine Being within us is the one that is in charge of our P.P.P. The Being loves us and shows the virtue that we need by showing us the weakness which is the opposite of the virtue that we need.


We have to contrast our two images, one of the essence and the other of the ego - victim, defeated, depressed etc.


The law of the abyss is compensation. When we fail we justify and justify our way out of everything. 

 

There is only one way ahead and it is to triumph.


It is amazing how the essence awakens and displaces the ego from causing and it starts to cause.


It is better for the Being to feel us with force and not need to be strong. It is better to be strong in the Being. To be awakened inside the constitution of the Being is better than for us to be awakened as a separate entity.


Don't plan our path too much we don't know much about it. We have never created or made the esoteric path.


The ego of pride is the worst ego that we can have. It is what above all else throws the Gods to the abyss. 


Pride is a causal factor. It as a causal factor that wishes to conquer. Or if not it divides. 


We have to see the wrong side of causation. The wrong side brings us a lot of karma.


It is better to choose service other authority. 


Every Gnostic association is really a karmic vehicle as people come to the work under a Gnostic association to pay their karma.


For the ego to be a causal factor it has to have access to the three demons. 


Wanting to modify things in others is to invoke that causal factor/power. It is usually the casual egos that wish to change things. How many causal egos do we really have.


We need as a conclusion to make the essence the unique causal factor in us.


We should cause something from the positive side of life, from the doctrine, from the side of the work. 


If we bring our self-image of us that we have in life we are bringing the wrong causal factor to the path.


The causal factor must be the doctrine not the ego. 


To cause properly we need:

1.) To have our consciousness completely outside of the mind. 

2.) Concentration with a clean mind.

3.) Ask for that which we want. 

4.) Then implement what we receive.


If we receive something then it is our Being giving us the grace to cause and we must then cause as an essence NOT as an ego.


End (5022).

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...
