Fear of Being in Creation (186)

Introduction

Gnostically speaking, we have been thrust into creation, where we are subject to much pain and suffering and so much dependence and impermanence, our situation here is really dependent upon so many factors and we are so weak, we are so fragile, our body and our health can change for the worst with only a small incident. The human condition is very fragile.


The Way we take All of This

We instinctively perceive this, when we say instinctively we mean that we perceive it in our gut and not necessarily with our mind, but on a deeper more visceral level. We perceive the impermanence of everything here, the ever changeability of everything here. However the problem arises in us when we psychologically make a base or a reality or an identity out of this impermanent and fragile condition.

This becomes a problem because a part of us deep within maybe unknown to us perhaps, in our subconscious, knows that all is impermanent, but then on the other hand we begin to make a dependence or a base on that solidity and then these two opposites makes us to start to suffer because a clash is produced in us. We have fear because our subconscious knows that we will suffer if we make a base on impermanent things. We feel that fear because we are doing something wrong for and within ourselves.


We are an Essence

We have to see that we are essence really, that that is what we are. The essence is something that is there inherent by itself existing on its own side. It is not dependent.


Conclusion

We have to understand that in creation in the chaos much can happen to us and our health, what we enjoy in terms of the body in its nature will and has to disappear, it has to by law go. Though, the essence in us is the one that is permanent and does not get lost, it’s nature does not change unlike the body and everything else in this world.

We also feel fear that we can’t control chaos, we can’t control this nature of impermanence and something that is ever-changing. In conclusion we have to be more and more essence.


End (186).

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...
