Penetrating into Causes - (991)

Causal Egos – Egos are Causes

Egos that are causes are those which have within them something that will determine events in the future of the person. These events are events that we must pass through in the future. Therefore these egos are causes for future events.


Conditioned Will

This means also that these egos are in the causal body or dimension of the person and have causative power, that is they can determine circumstances. However, they cause circumstances that are pre-defined by our karma. So even though they can cause circumstances they do it strictly according to conditions. The will in those egos is conditioned or trapped to cause circumstances to happen only in a pre-defined way.


Knowing Causes

We need to know what they are causing and we most importantly of all need to know why they are causing.

We need to use our will and our consciousness to modify causes within us.
We need to use consciousness and will to modify causes within ourselves.

Helping Hand of the Principle of Duality

By duality we can know half of the cause, the more important half, that is, the half that matters. The half that does not matter so much is the side that concerns the human details. The examples below show how the principle of duality can be effectively applied to gain knowledge. By realising the other side or more correct side of duality we awaken a bit more consciousness.

Example 1

Say for example we have just one person that we have a lot of trouble with. It turns out that we want love from that person and when we don’t get it we suffer and that doesn’t happen with anyone else. That means that there are some causal elements at work. If we apply duality the love that we want from them and the suffering involved when we don’t get it means simply that we denied them love before and now the way out is to not get love, which we is the automatic way that we think is the way to go but the way to go is to love and forget all about receiving love from them.

Example 2

The same with lust, if we have trouble controlling our lust then it is because with lust we lost ourselves or our Being, and when we are out of control it is because we have lost ourselves. We decided to go into it and into it loosening more each time the grip we had on ourselves. So now we have to decide to retain ourselves and retain ourselves, and strengthen each time more and more the grip we have on own selves.


Conclusion – Freeing Will

This then (the work mentioned in the two above examples) frees the will or releases the will from inside that ego from having to be the causes for future circumstances. There is no other way but to use will with the causal egos and when we attack such an ego with our mind and nothing happens at all we have to work with will and consciousness.

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...
