Definition of Destiny (211)

Destiny

When we think of destiny we always think of some sort of end, goal or objective, and a series of events, happenings and occurrences that take us to that final end or goal.

Pre-Determination

Destiny implies some sort of programming or pre-determination of events in our life. We say in Gnosis that everyone has a destiny, without exception; there is a plan for everyone’s life.

Because of destiny or rather because of the final end of destiny the events in our life are pre-determined or programmed according to or by virtue of this end. The end that destiny that takes us to determines the nature of the events that we pass through in the path of life.

Every Human Being has a Destiny

Everyone has a mechanical destiny. Without exception, everyone is born with their destiny laid out before them. The end or goal or objective of a person’s mechanical destiny is death. It however, may also be to achieve the purpose of our life and once this has been achieved our life’s destiny is not complete until we have fulfilled our death.

There are two types of destiny. One is the mechanical destiny and the other is the destiny set by our interior divinity. Please note, the posts to follow this one will expand upon these two types of destinies.

Conclusion

Written in the great book of death whom the angels of death have access to, is our destiny, there instructions on how and when our death is to occur are written, and written in our book of life or book of karma, that is held amongst the annals of the Divine Law are the events of our life that are shaped by our final destiny.

Our book of life and karma in the last moments is handed over to become an entry in the great book of death, where our destiny is made complete., and whee the last action of our life is carried out.

End (211).

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...
