Wise Use of Time and Space (175)

Introduction

The way to use time wisely is to make the time we have productive, to use it for something related to the development of our consciousness or in something that will bring a positive result to us.

Do not Compartmentalise Time

Another point is to not compartmentalise time. We divide our whole life into compartments where we behave in certain ways and enjoy ourselves or not enjoy ourselves and so on. We should make our whole life one.

It is the mind that makes compartments and it is the one that says we can enjoy ourselves now because in a minute this activity will be finished. Usually that activity is one of the work on ourselves, a bit sad isn’t it. The very thing that liberates us makes us unhappy?

Make our Life our Work

The advantage of making our work all one in our life, means that we can work anytime in whatever activity we are doing and so we are not waiting for something to finish or start or dreading that something will finish.

It requires some work actually to make our whole life one in the work and stop compartmentalising our life. Actually making compartments in our life is to suffer because being in relativity we say this compartment is better than the other one and to be in one compartment that is not as good as the other one means that we are going to suffer a little.

Living in the Moment Unifies

An important key to make our life one big compartment rather than many small ones is to live in the moment, see each moment as an compartment that makes up your whole life and if we value each moment we will not value the moment in one compartment more than the moments in another compartment.

Conclusion

Live the Moment! It has so many benefits! It is actually all that we have!

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...
