Function of Vultures and a Lesson on Balance - (456)

Introduction

In India due to suspicion and prejudices the country’s vultures were almost all eradicated. This at first seemed great as the supposed cause of many problems had been eliminated or the curse that vultures were thought to bring had been removed.

However it wasn’t long before the effects of the Indian’s government’s actions, that is of eradicating the vultures was seen.

In eradicating the vultures a great imbalance was produced and every imbalance is unwelcome in nature, as nature seeks to always be in balance and so to compensate for this imbalance many things began to occur.


Vultures Absent

When the vultures were not around fulfilling their cosmic role or their in nature of cleaning all the carrion or dead animals the number of rabid dogs began to increase as the dogs would eat the dead animals to compensate for their being no vultures to do it.

As dogs as are not built or made to really fulfil that function they contracted rabies and in turn this increased the spreading of rabies and all sorts of other diseases, which affected other animals, especially livestock and of course human beings.


Role of Vultures

Vultures have a terrific stomach, the acids in their stomach is so strong or concentrated that it can dissolve metal. Dogs don’t have such a strong stomach and so they are not suited to fulfilling that role. Before the vultures disappeared it was not known what contribution the vultures were really making to our everyday life. Though with them gone it was known that vultures clean and protect all the other species from all manner of diseases. They also keep the waters clean by eating the carcasses of carrion that pile up in the water ways.

They are marvellous really I like them and in Egypt they were the symbol of the Being and they belong to the ray of Saturn and they are an evolving animal.


Conclusion

To know balance sometimes we have to become unbalanced. To know what something does sometimes we have to remove it or stop doing it.

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...
