Three Points to Use to Evaluate Our Day

Retrospection

A very important actually a key tool in any evaluation of ourselves is the use of retrospection. The act of honestly looking back over what we have lived. How we acted, how we felt and what we thought during the events and times of our lives.

Retrospection can be done over an hour, a minute, a whole day, a week or a month, a year or any time period. It is really the key part of any evaluation.


Three Points

There are three points or questions that we can run through or ask ourselves at the end of the day, for us to know how our day went and or during the day, for us to know how our day is going and be able to improve it or save it, if it is not going well.

Was I Useful to Others?

We are all here in life to be useful for others. If we were all the time harmful to others, life and eventually creation would collapse. Life requires that we co-operate and live peacefully together and really it is one reason for us being here and it is also a life purpose.

All the things that we could do in life are come back in the end to the question, are they useful or good for others. The goals, that are noble and pure have at their heart the benefit of others.

If we have been useful to others during the day we have fulfilled a mini part of the purpose our life and we have not created karma for ourselves but rather dharma or cosmic capital as it is called in the Gnostic studies.

Besides the advantages mentioned above helping others brings us great peace and fulfillment inside ourselves.

Was I Useful to the Great Cause?

Being useful tot eh Great Cause is to work in the third factor, which is the efforts to teach, help, guide and inform humanity about the knowledge of Gnosis and help them to understand it and inspire to work towards their Being.

So in effect it comes down to the question: “Did I do something today that will benefit the self-realisation of some or at least one Monad.

As a Gnostic missionary we are those that work on the great cause and we really have the duty of helping the Sun receive as many souls as it can who are ready for the in trying to keep the planet as it is going now.

Was I useful to my Being Today?

Did I die and awaken today? That is really how we are useful to our Being. So did I make an effort to die in any defect? Did I chant the mantram KRIM and ask the Divine Mother to dissolve one or another defect? Did I self-remember or remember the Being as work toward my awakening?

Transmuting is also vital to being useful to our Being. Because with transmutation we are fulfilling the Parlock duty of the Being which is to create the bodies (astral, mental and causal). Transmuting helps the Being in His creation and self-realization and that helps Him to fulfil his cosmic mission and therefore brings Him into good terms with the Divine Law. Which has the marvellous side effect of bringing us  peace and happiness while our karmic debts are being processed with our work of mystical death and paying karma.


End.

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...
