Origin of Fear - (414)

Introduction

The origin of fear is karma, because karma is all about punishment and suffering the consequences. Karma is the origin of our primordial fear.

We are not scared of the thing but we are scared of the consequences. It is the consequences only that scare us.



Fear is also a causal karmic ego. This is because it has been brought about by multiple causes and is the result of us having made mistakes in the past. It is in many instances like the punishment for having made mistakes.


Spiritual Origin

The origin of fear is spiritual or esoteric. It lies in the belief that we can not go back to the Being or the Absolute or in other words to our Divine self, where there is peace, illumination and happiness.

The person who had or has fear had a tremendous trust before. We trusted the Divinity but with the fall we came to distrust the Divinity and create fear.

Karma is what always destroys our faith and trust. A sceptical person was one who had great faith in something before!


Fear Origin Process

The process of the creation of fear is:

Mistake -> Karma -> Pain -> Rejection of the Pain (Fear)

Fear all starts with us transgressing, that is going beyond a law or a limit. That is stretching things too far, making a mistake or breaking the balance.

This transgression has its consequences, which is the karma or the process of us restoring the broken balance, and this is usually costly, requires much effort and is painful.

Naturally we then come to reject that pain that is required of us to restore the balance that we broke. That rejection of pain is fear. The memory of that pain is also fear and the anticipation of that pain is also fear.


Conclusion

We normally don't blame ourselves for our mistakes or our fears. Hence we don't take responsibility for our mistakes and that is why we reject the karma that we have. The karma that we have and hence our fear, is due to our own past actions. If we are to take responsibility for it, and decide to work so as to pay it things change in us in relation to that karmic debt and the fear we have.

Fear covers our lack of responsibility and is the cause of us rejecting or avoiding pain which makes us to continue our fear. For example, if you are scared of someone, accept or take responsibility for having offended them or having caused their negative attitude towards you or take responsibility of having done it to others in the past, in the case you have not done anything to offend this person that you are scared of.

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...
