Retreat Post 20 – No Sentimentalism in the Internal Worlds - (612)

Disclaimer – Not Mine Only Notes

I have to stress that these words are my notes only. The thoughts and understanding behind them do not come from me but from the terrific missionaries that lead the various activities during the retreat.


No Sentimentalism in the Internal Worlds.

In the abyss, at the Tribunal of Cosmic Justice and in the internal worlds there is no sentimentalism. There is only fair and perfect Justice.


Mathematical

There is only mathematics summing up what we have done and not done. This may seem tough and cruel but it is fair. One thing to know about sentimentalism is that tends not to be fair and usually is not fair in relation to others and to the person directly involved, that is the person receiving the sentimental benefit. The human world here on Earth is full of sentimental favours and sometimes that is not fair when by sentimentalism one gets benefit that others have worked harder and longer to achieve and they don’t get it because of sentimentalism.

Mathematical values are impersonal and can be applied to everyone. So they are fair.


Conclusion

There has to really be no sentimentalism in the internal worlds. That is not to say that there is no mercy. There is mercy amongst the judges of the Law, because one of the columns of the Law is mercy while the other is justice.

The main reason why there is no sentimentalism is because sentimentalism is not fair, it gives to others what does not pertain to their real efforts. It is also subjective and inaccurate.


End (611).

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...
