Two Types of Destiny (213)

Introduction

There are two types of destiny or well actually three where the third is a mixture of or a hybrid of the original two types.

Basically everyone is born with one type and only with conscious efforts can we change to the second type.
These two types of destiny are called: mechanical destiny (common to all human beings) and conscious destiny (a destiny forged by the consciousness, soul or Being of the person).

This post describes these two destinies.


Mechanical Destiny

Our mechanical destiny is the one that has been forged by our past and our karmic debts and by the mechanical elements that we have within our psychology.

We are primarily mechanical creatures and so our reactions and behaviours can be predicted and because of that our whole life can be predicted. So then because of the egos that we have especially the causal egos (because they set up circumstances in our life) our life marches along a pre-set line, a line that basically we set up because we are mechanical and one which the Divine Law sets up.

The Divine Law basically set the various events that come to our life. They set up how much scarcity and abundance there will be in our life. They set up the various good and bad opportunities that will come our way in life. However they program our life so that we pay the karmic debts that we have.

One element of the conscious destiny is to be able to pay off our debts consciously and be able to negotiate their payment.


Conscious Destiny

The conscious destiny is one set by the work oneself and by our inner Being. The conscious destiny has our real Being at the centre and his realisation. There of course may also be the mission that He wishes to carry out.

When we create fully our conscious destiny the Being is in charge of our life and He decides when we are to die physically, essentially the Being in us has defeated death, She – death can do us no harm, She does not come to us when She wants or when the Law says that She has to come to us. She comes to us when the Being in us decides.

This is the triumph of Atman in us. The Being or Atman in charge of His universe, we are all a universe in miniature.

That is really marvellous isn’t it. That should be our most urgent yearning, to die in ourselves to give way to our inner Being to take over! We as we are do not have much future and we do not have much to offer the Being either. Only with our death do we conquer death it is said!


Conclusion

In conclusion, we certainly have one destiny, and if we are studying Gnosis we have a mixture of the mechanical and the one set by the Being in accordance with the Divine Law, and really it is up to us now to continue following this new line of destiny by working on ourselves and eventually fully create the conscious destiny set by your real Being.

The more we work on ourselves and help humanity spiritually the more we create, shape and set this new conscious destiny.

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...
