Rest in Reality - (528)

Introduction

From time to time we can experience and learn something new. That something new could be so many things, maybe one of those things is to rest or relax in reality, trusting and relaxing in what is really real. From this lesson a new kind of trust emerges in us, a trust in reality rather than a trust in the reality projected by the mind or the supposed reality thought up by my mind.


Look for at Reality

This new state looks or focusses more on reality, and more on the facts, rather than the mind's view on facts which we mistake as reality. This produces a certain relaxation and relief, why? Because, it always turns out that reality is kinder, more generous and more abundant than our thoughts.


In Relationships

This is so helpful when it comes to relationships. Because we usually always only see in our relations with people our own projections and stories. If we see reality and base our feelings in reality - that is in the actual real facts, rather than our beliefs, concepts or stories, things can certainly be very different for us. We find kindness, love and the things that we thought were absent are really actually there after all.


Conclusion

When you are nervous just look for the reality, focus on reality, focus more on what the reality means and focus less on what our mind projects as reality. Relax as well because reality is kinder and better. Hope this post has been useful.

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...
