People Aren’t Against Us

People Aren’t Against Us – (443)

Introduction

The belief that people are against us is a terribly powerful belief and is the cause behind many negative states such as anger, anxiety, feeling rejected and depression, just to name a few. It is really worth going into it.

Are they Really?

People may really be against us in a very obvious way, so much so that it can not be denied. They may even say it as well. In that it would be stupid of us to not accept that they are against us. I will deal with this case a little later on, however it is wrong of us to absolutely assume or belief this.

Why? Because in their consciousness and when they are their consciousness they do not hate anyone or they are not against anyone. So when people are their real selves they are not against anyone. Only one of their egos is or maybe two or three of their egos are and we can not do much about that. Well we may even deserve it for a while.

What About if they Are

Well there is the case where people are really openly and obviously against us and then we have to find what that means to us. Why that causes us trouble. The answer is always in our thoughts, because as soon as we think that thought “they are against us” we suffer. No thought no suffering.

However, coming as an offshoot from that thought is our interpretation or extension of what thinking that thought means to us. Like it may mean hardship for us, a breaking of our belief that there is nothing wrong with us and that people should like us, or people are really cruel etc. We have to question how true each one of those offshoots are and then accept their opposites. Anyway, even if there openly against you when they are their consciousness or their essence they won’t be against you.

Conclusion

First don’t or try not to believe that people are against us, because in reality when they are their real reality which is their essence, their Being or their consciousness they are not against anyone at all!

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...
