About Awakening – (494)

Awakening - the Heart of Any Spiritual Doctrine

Awakening - this is one of the hearts of the Gnostic doctrine and for that matter, any spiritual or esoteric doctrine or endeavour that wishes to transform he human being. Any attempt towards a change for the better will fail if there is no new awakening produced.


Awakening to See Reality

Awakening is to see reality in its various levels and depths and furthermore it is to see what is commonly not seen.

Awakening allows one to understand the things that previously were not understood and allows one to see the deeper causes of the present, and the future that the present actions will unfold.


Several Awakenings

There are several types of awakenings which we must gradually arrive at. There are the physical, psychological and esoteric awakenings. We can start working in the psychological awakening and later progress to the esoteric or spiritual awakening. The psychological awakening is to see our full inner reality and with that capacity come to always be aware and in control of our psychological (intellectual and emotional) processes.


Awakening Brings

Awakening brings new knowledge and experience which is extraordinarily powerful, as it removes suffering, produces changes and allows one full control over oneself.


Awakening Critical

Awakening is so critical for us, because we are dormant to so many things, the more awakened a human being is the more control one has over his or her life and future. Things that are not commonly accessible to a human being are accessible to the awakened one and this brings much happiness and understanding in one’s life.

      Hi and thanks for your comment. Could you be a bit more specific as to what you would like to know the meaning of, so that I can answer your question a little better.

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...
