Getting Real when it Comes to Past Lives (218)

Introduction

We secretly wish that we were someone great in the past and your hear so many people say that they were Christ or Buddha or someone great. The truth of the matter is that, there was only one Buddha or Christ or Julius Caesar and so there can not be ten people running around on Earth who were Julius Caesar in the past. It just can’t be.

Well perhaps the soul that was Julius Caesar was divided into fractions and now inhabits several bodies, however if we were to get to know these people who claim to be Julius Caesar they may not even exhibit any of his qualities. Those sort of people are usually the mythomaniac or megalomaniac types, those pseudo esotericists that think the world of themselves, or at least don’t think realistically about themselves. They may have been told that is who they were in the past by some clairvoyant or healer or channelled source and they believe it without even knowing whether it is for real true or not.


Fantasy and Past Lives

To think that you were such and such a great person is fantasy, because when you do discover or remember some of your past lives you will see them as very natural and you will recognise yourself back then as you are now.

You will observe the some psychological flavour, the same secret desires, the same way of seeing people and looking at the world and the same overall feeling. Even the same likes and dislikes etc.

To think that you were someone great in many lives of your past is fantasy and this is why.

You know when it comes to past lives we were up and then we were down. We go from being a person living in the street to a person living in a well-to-do household and area, and it is even true that what we are today is because we were that in the past and what we were in the past is the opposite of what we are today because we learnt a very painful lesson.


Conclusion

The best is to experience through unearthing the subconscious during meditation practiced when we are drowsy or by the consciousness itself or through dreams about our past lives. Our insights about our past lives have to also corroborate with recorded history and be realistic according to the character traits that we have or exhibit now.

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...
