Painful Terminating Streak in the Ego

Painful Terminating Streak in the Ego - (5040)

There is a streak in some egos that are about: "fed-up", "can't handle more", "no-more", "don't want anymore of this"...

There is this tendency to want to terminate things...leave our job and find a new one, pull out of a group, quit some activity, cut off a friendship, leave a relationship etc. etc.

All of those feelings come from having our 'nose being rubbed in' what we have done to others in the past. That is, the things we did to them that was against their will.

What happens when we really understand the hurt we have caused others: we say to ourselves: "I'll never do that again". Which is the opposite of those feelings in the first sentence of this post.

The curious thing when we hear the "I" in us saying the above words, there is this feeling of past pain and pain projected into the future...

We know that this feeling can only be the "I" as the consciousness does not identify with the past and does not project into the future.

When that "I" displaces the terminating thinking goes and we are left a little confused...

The hypnotic grip is powerful we believe that what we "can no longer stand" is something ethically, cosmically, lawfully not supported. Yet it is an ego and in the silence of the mind it is our reality that we are living.

The only real and sane thing before us to lawfully, ethically and cosmically make a new reality which has its base in the dissolution of the "I" and in paying our karma.

The only way to dissolve those "I's" is with a definite decision to eliminate them.

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...
