Flavour of the "I" Notes

Flavour of the "I" Notes - (5034)

We have to really work through the flavour of each "I". There is so much there for us to learn.

It reveals all the information that we need.

Experiences that we have later on in dreams or in meditation (visions) confirm what is revealed by the flavour of the "I".

We need attention and concentration to draw out the obtuse flavour of the "I" into the light where our consciousness can apprehend it.

Trust what you gleam from the flavour of the "I". It is correct!

Each "I" has a distinct psychological quality. Which is really the particular psychological feeling that is set up by the thoughts and emotions of the 'I" when it is active in our human machine.

When the ego takes control of the human machine there appears the unique flavour of that "I". IT is if it is saying: "Here I am in control now, and this is what I am all about".

The flavour of the "I" is the essence trapped in the "I" talking to us. What it says toi us is summarised or encapsulated in a feeling in that flavour.

Through the flavour of the "I" we can hear directly from the piece of essence that is trapped in the bottle of that ego. Amazing right?

Once we have learnt this flavour, it is unmistakable to us, and we can always know when it one or another ego present in our human machine.

Self-deception disappears when we know the flavour of the "I" or of any of the "I's" that we have for that matter.

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...
