Continuity, Memory and Consistency - (373)

Introduction

Continuity, memory, purpose, capacity, and results are fire factors that go well 1g one-and relatively important in the work on ourself and for that matter in anything and in any project in life.


A Work

Whenever we take on a work we have an end result in sight and that end result gives us the purpose or reason for taking on this work.

Sometimes though, we have to though do the work for the love of doing the work and forgetting all about the end result.

Normally, after having the end result in sight and the purpose, we have our certain innate capacity to do the work. However we may not have just yet continuity and memory related to that work we are taking on.


Continuity

Continuing is a magic ingredient for success in any project or work that we take on. It is to establish a line of work, in other words a series of steps that build upon each other. Usually, we leave huge gaps between the steps and if the time that passes in one of these gaps is too long we slip backwards and lose the steps that we gained.



Then we progress in a forward, backward type of a motion. This is really not continuity.


Memory

Memory comes into the picture in establishing continuity. We need continuity to remember our previous steps and build upon those already taken. A good notebook with a reasonably detailed written record helps immensely.


Continuity Most Important!

The most or one of the most important things in the work is continuity and doing or making steps regularly, every hour, day, week etc.

Continuity allows us to establish a continuous line or flow and this, even though it is slow will lead to success in achieving the end result.


Capacity

We have to measure our capacity to establish a regular effort or series of steps. We have to be taking steps or trying to take steps regularly, say everyday but how much time, how much effort, how much intensity etc. we put in must be measured, according to our capacity.

If we overdo it we will get tired and we will stop our regular efforts. Then we will break our continuity and the end result begins to slip away from us.


Conclusion

The very best thing to do in the work on ourselves or in any project or work is to establish a continuous effort.



But to make efforts that we can make everyday. Even though they are small steps, if we keep consistent we will increase our capacity and we will triumph. We just need time and more importantly not to waste time.

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...
