Questions to Ask Daily Concerning our Dharma - (557)

Introduction

We need cosmic capital, because it is what saves us, it is what really helps us when are in difficulty. Physical money can sometimes help, but cosmic capital does always. It prevents us from getting sick and from suffering, or if we do have to suffer it makes our suffering easier to bear.


AM: What will I do today to Get Dharma?

Plan your day consciously to get dharma. Plan to work on yourself from the first thing in the morning or at night before going to sleep. Know what you are going to do and how you are going to do it. The firmer you are about achieving it the more likely you will.

Factor in mystical death, exercising your consciousness and doing something for others, whether the latter be praying for someone, giving someone something or doing something for others for their physical, psychological or spiritual benefit. 


Noon: What have I done to get Dharma?

Sometimes we can get busy at work and we can’t so easily fit in our practices or works that benefit our essence, and therefore we can't accrue too much dharma. So we need to check-in with ourselves and asking ourselves this question (What have I done to get Dharma today) is very helpful to bring us back to the plan that we created in the morning.


PM: What can I still do to get Dharma?

Sometimes if we are unlucky or rather we have gotten tired and very negligent or deeply identified, we can find ourselves in the situation where we have not done anything. Asking ourselves this question then helps to kick ourselves into gear to do something before the day closes.


Conclusion

Ask yourself these questions as often as you remember them, and what the most important thing really is, is to act upon your answers. Dharma and Karma are both created with action. We created karma acting and we undo it by acting!


End (557).

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...
