Fear is about Trust - (413)

Introduction

Fear is the inversion of that marvellous value of our consciousness or our Being that is called trust. Every instance of fear in a human being has rejection, pain, distrust and fear of the consequences.


Fear is Distrust

Within fear there is a tremendous distrust. The result is that we with fear have come to not trust anyone or anything.

If for example, we are mistreated or betrayed by someone we trust, our previous trust in that person is converted into distrust.

If a person goes into a house and is abused, for sure they do not want to go to that house again. The result of that experience is that we come to profoundly distrust that house and profoundly trust that something bad will happen to us if we go to that house again. That distrust or trust in the negative is fear.

The maximum in trust is that: “whatever happens I will be ok”. This is trust in our Being that He is powerful enough to make us all ok in very difficult circumstances.



If we are doing good we can trust that we are going to be fine, as the law of cause and effect never fails, it is always there solid and unmoving. If we do good, by law good will come to us.


Two Faces of Trust

Trust has two faces. One is for example: “I trust you will not hurt me” and the second one is that “we trust that whatever happens, we or God in us will manage or handle it all”.

The second face is the more complete one, because sometimes what we with the first face trust won’t happen, can happen and then if it does happen we have to have trust in ourselves and in our Being inside of us that we be ok or will manage and pull through those difficulties.


Where is our Trust?

We tend now days to trust in matter more now than in God. We actually trust more in ourselves and matter. God is the one that is above and on top of everything so putting our trust in God is to put everything that we can not control in His hands. Even if we trust in ourselves there are things that we can not control or influence and so fear may arise in us.


Trust and God

Men have lost the trust in faith and in God because they tried to reach God but somewhere along the line failed. Failure always brings about a loss in trust and faith.

There is a great lack of trust in the spirit and a huge trust in the ego, the mind and in the person. The solution is to build trust or faith on knowledge or experience. Otherwise it is only in the mind and things of the mind can easily be shaken off.


Conclusion

We acquire trust once again through acting not through anything else. Conscious faith is that is which is based on knowledge and past experience. This is the solution to acquire faith and trust and thus the most powerful weapon to combat fear.

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...
