Pride Forgets the Father - (551)

Introduction

More than anything pride forgets the Father, while lust forgets the mother. So when we are lustful we are not relating too well to our Divine Mother and when we are proud we are not relating well to our Father.



In truth though when we have either one of these two pride or lust we are not relating well to the Being in general and that includes both the Divine Mother and the Father. But when we are lustful we are going more against our Mother and when we are proud we are going more against our Father. Why because these two egos lust and pride have in their conditioning parts of the essence that are opposed or antithetical to the Mother and the Father.


Pride

Pride specialises in acting by itself, in disregard to any authority or any other power or force. Pride is rebellious and disobedient by nature. Pride is in fact separation.



In the fifth major initiation the initiate has to do the will of the father, and to do that the initiate has to submit his will so to do the will of the Father. Pride is the opposite of such an action, pride retains its own separate will or makes the initiate to stand apart from his or her Being doing the initiates particular will in disobedience or rebellion to the Father. Then shortly the fall will come.


Conclusion

Pride is a very dangerous ego I think on the path, it after a while will lead us into following the egotistical will and then failure and a fall will come.


End (551).

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...
