More About Fear - (415)

Role

Fear prevents from dairy things that are wrong, which is good. But it is stops us from learning and knowing or even getting it wrong.

Fear has become our protector and that is why we love fear. We even call it prudence. We always think that there is a sinister intention behind everything even a gift.


Danger

Fear has a lot to do with danger, with the perceived danger of what could possibly go wrong.

When the danger is present and real, fear is rational but when we get scared where there is no danger present fear is irrational. This is because this irrational fear comes from the subconscious.


Unknown

We can not get scared of something that we don't know anything about. We are not really scared of the unknown-we are scared of the known.

We don't fear the unknown, only the consequences, we don't fear the cause but the effects only.


Solutions

There are three solutions to fear and there are three heads of fear.

The first solution is awakening, the second is knowing and the third is faith or trust. Awakening can take a long time and so it is not an immediate solution. Knowing helps immensely but can not most of the time he immediately acquired. So we must generate trust.

The three heads of fear are: memory, projections and experiences (ours or others). Fear is a very intellectual or mental type of ego or process. Fear would be nothing if it were missing these three heads. If we did not project, remember or not entertain in our mind the experiences of others or our own, fear would be almost non-existent in us.


Blame

We always blame life instead of ourselves! The three heads of fear are: mental projections and experiences, those of others and those that are ours and memory.



Exploiting Fear

Companies actually exploit us because of our fear, they take advantage of that. We even don't believe in God, we only believe out of the fear of hell or death.

The power of blackmail is in the fear of death! If we knew all about death and what happens after death we would lose our fear of death and nobody would be able to blackmail us.

All the religions tend to sell a passport to heaven and a deliverance from hell.

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...
