When Given A Gnostic Activity - (308)

Introduction

The Gnostic environment is very dynamic and can prove to provide one with a strong psychological gymnasium at times. Just one element of thousands of elements in the Gnostic school environment is being given the chance to lead an activity.

This post introduces an attitude to have when given a Gnostic Activity to lead.. This attitude has served me well and has avoided me creating many problems. I hope that it can be useful for you too.


Be Prepared to do but also Prepared to Let Go!

Basically this attitude is to assume that you are going to lead the activity and be prepared in all that you are going to say and do to the best of your ability but most importantly be very prepared for things to change and for you to not end up leading the activity.


Things Change – A Law

Things do Change and when they do adapt to them that is best. Don’t worry your effort in preparing for them won’t go to waste, you will get another chance, you can wrote it down and create an article out of it or you can even make a short video and post it somewhere.


You never know the other person that took your spot may say the same thing as you, i.e. deliver the same message or even deliver a message that is what the audience needs most to hear.


Conclusion

In conclusion, everything changes be very wary of that and be prepared for things to change but also very well technically prepared to do it just in case things don’t change.

End (308).

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...
