Pain we Cause Others - (579)

Introduction

No doubt we cause others much pain while we are asleep and while we have the “I’s” or egos very strong and alive in us.


Magical Thing

The really magical thing is, is that because we are all one, what we do to others we do to ourselves. Causing pain to you is the same as causing pain to myself. This is such an immutable law. If we heal another it is the same as healing ourselves now or later.


Pain Caused to Others Comes to Us

It is impeccable and implacable that if we cause others pain, the same pain will come back to us. Sometimes so very quickly and sometimes not. The more intentionally we do it the worse it is for us. If we did something unknowing and unaware we still receive pain back, and that is good because we need that pain to become more conscious of what we have done and what we do.

Even if we do something to another who does not have ego or is not hurt by what we do or say we still receive pain. But a little less than if that person whom we insulted did feel a lot of pain. We always we receive what we give out and if we have the receptors of pain inside of us we feel pain, but if we don’t we don’t feel as much.

Sometimes if we know that a person will get hurt and we say to ourselves, it is not my responsibility, I’m not doing anything wrong we still have a little bit of responsibility and we still do receive some pain in return but not too much.


Pain is All Equal

Sometimes in our arrogance we are so careful not to hurt others in a certain spiritual group but at home we are terrible, because we think that the people at home don’t matter, we still receive pain. Sometimes not from them at home but through the people we are so careful to not hurt.

This shows us that we are all one and everyone’s pain inflicted on them by us becomes our pain.


Conclusion

Causing others pain is bad business, it always comes back, sometimes later, much later or sometimes so very quickly, the same day or the next day. We really need what the Christ taught us “Love one another as you wish to be loved”. That is the key to apply all the time and not allow ourselves to trick ourselves thinking that in certain situations it does not apply.

Though on the other hand we have to be courageous in facing our own pain when it arises in us. That for me is the real courage, to face our own pain.

My goodness arrogance is so terrible! How ignorant it is. We feel so strong and proud to hit another, to blame, to defame etc. But later that terrible arrogance turns to pain and tears. Forget it, don’t cause others pain and avoid situations where you have to make decisions that are going to hurt others. Well except for when hurting one will benefit many more.


End (579).

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...
