Student: The Being is not Real for Me

Student: The Being is not Real for Me – Part 1 (220)

Introduction

This post contains a question and an answer. The questions were asked by a student who decided in the end to leave his Gnostic studies and the answers are from a Gnostic instructor.

Question 1 or Complaint 1

Do I feel my Being ? I think I feel something- Do I have interaction with it ?- I don't feel it and thus I don't feel it exists in me. It may be there for you but not for me. That is why I will not be returning.

Answer 1

Just thinking about your email, I respect what you say I certainly take what you said with respect.

What I would like to say if I may, is that you are right in that the Being is hard to see and feel.

The Being is so natural and normal in us that it is so hard to realize that we have one. Anyhow that is our work to slowly and gradually bit by bit realize this very subtle presence in ourselves.

I think though very respectfully that behind you coming to Gnosis was Him, in every breath that you take He is there bringing that magical force of life into you. That special force or stream of life running through you is Him, behind your inquietudes was and is Him and even behind your doubts is Him. Why behind your doubts - because He may well want you to find Him and so He gives you the doubt for you to clear them with the truth of your experience.

The Being is not easy to find and it requires some dedication and practice just as does anything in life. It takes a person 7 years of hard work to be a Doctor, with a good amount of practice we can find the Being, a good question is for how long have we tried to find the Being? You never how close we are we could be as is said in so many stories, just one step away and then we give up.

Anyhow, just something to think about, we have always want the best for your soul, though with respect for your wishes.

End (220).

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...
