One Way to Appreciate Others (224)

Introduction

There may be many ways to appreciate others and one of them is to learn from others, and when we learn from them we come to appreciate them more and they are happy to have helped us. This post is about one way that you can learn from others.


Everyone Has Certain Gifts

Everyone has certain gifts in life. Without exception everyone is good at something. Everyone has a good to excellent understanding of something in life that we do not have. That is something wonderful, that is why we have a multiplicity in life, so that all the gifts and talents can be shared amongst all of us, and all of us together produce all the wisdom in creation.

These gifts may come from life’s experiences, past lives and some their own innate inner nature and understanding. That is from their Being or Monad or Essence.


Find their Gifts

One way to appreciate others is to learn from their gifts, but before we can do that we have to find their gifts, find what they are excellent at. Usually they are good at what they like or love doing.

People can be good at hobbies, crafts, their job, teaching, speaking, writing, organising things, travelling, running, managing people, sports you name it. A good way to start to find their gifts is to find about their interests.


Observe then in Action

Even if we don’t know their gifts we can observe them to help ourselves find out, or just by observing them we can learn a lot as well. But to observe them we have to get in them action while they are working or dealing with people.

You know we can always learn from people in the bad and in the good.


Ask them to Teach You

If we can’t find out what a person’s gifts are we have to ask them what their gifts are or what they are good at or what they really love doing. What they love doing they will know a lot about. And if what they are good at is something that you lack or is something that you want to know about or develop in you then ask them straight out to teach you.


Conclusion

To learn something from someone else is wonderful and it is so much easier than learning by ourselves. It is also a lot quicker. It will also help us to appreciate others and it will open our mind to the fact that everyone has their gifts and things that they can pass on and teach and we also help them because by teaching us or passing on what they have learnt they make their life’s experiences and learnings useful.

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...
