Is Making Others Love us Hopeless? - (419)

Essentially Yes It Is

Over many years I fought this truth but it seems only now I find it possible within myself to accept this as true.

Actually accepting this as true has brought to me peace and a relief. Because one can spend years worrying, feeling scared, insecure, anxious and making sometimes great efforts in spending time, energy and money to make others love us, and then great disappointment noticing that it works to some extent but not really!


Why is it True?

For the one good reason, that you are the only one that can take yourself to me or bring yourself to love or not love me. I am not in your heart and I can not control your heart. Even our own mind sometimes can not (thank God) control our heart, so how can we have hope being an outside person of controlling another person’s heart.

Besides that it is really wrong to control another! Also the heart belongs to one’s Being and when we try to control another’s heart or stop another’s heart we are going against a Divinity, a Divine Monad, which is not good.

If we lose love, there will be someone else that will come to love us.

So then, we can stop all our efforts to make others love us, relax and be our normal self and love will come to us. Stop trying so hard for it. And if it doesn’t come then you know where you stand and you will work out what to do next.

End (419).

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...
