Nature of Pain

Nature of Pain - (571)

Introduction

This is a very deep subject and I am only going to really only touch on one point, which is that pain is a teacher.

Pain Appears, Stays and Goes

Pain appears, stays and then goes. Most in us pain is usually on the way out – thank goodness right? It leaves us more than stays. But not all the time it can stay for a long time, sometimes very loudly for a short time and then very subtly after that for a much longer time.

Why Pain Appears

Pain appears because essentially something is not quite right in us. Pain comes to show us something, it comes to show us that something needs to be healed or addressed or taken care of inside of ourselves. Basically something needs to change or be dissolved, and as soon as it is, that particular pain won’t come back.

Change our Attitude

Upon understanding this point, we can change our attitude towards pain. We can see pain as something that wants our healing or wants us to change for the better, as something that wants our psychological heath back. So being intelligent we should follow it with our conscious attention to see where it points to inside of us. Then we can work to undo the painful knot and dissolve the concept, belief, way of thinking or egoic facet that is causing that pain.

Conclusion

In pain coming it is showing us something that needs to be healed. So inside pain is the key to our healing. So pain is delivering to us the raw healing or healing in potential. We need to work that pain to get healed, and then what is marvellous that healing turns out to also be the wisdom to help others as well.

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...
