Things we Have to Do for Ourselves

Things we Have to Do for Ourselves - (788)

Introduction

We all have a relationship with ourselves that is for sure. How can we deny that?

A part of that relationship with ourselves, just like any other relationship, are responsibilities and things that must be done to keep the balance. Because when there is a relationship balance comes into the picture straight away. Healthy, functional relationships are about balance.

These responsibilities and things that we need to do in the relationship with ourselves are things that we need to do for ourselves. That is they are our job - our responsibility. The interesting thing is that we don’t realise this, we think others should do it for ourselves. When we think that others should do these things that we should do for ourselves we get into suffering and more suffering.

List

Here is a list of all the things that we have to do for ourselves in the relationship with ourselves:

• Love ourselves

• Trust ourselves

• Consider ourselves

• Respect ourselves

• Heal ourselves

• Be intimate with ourselves (really delve deep into our ownselves)

• Know ourselves

• Die in ourselves

• Pay our karma

• Transmute our own sexual energy

• Love our divinity

• Awaken our own consciousness

Conclusion

The list above is just a small list of the responsibilities that we have and the things that we have to do for ourselves in the relationship with ourselves.

For me it is pretty important to remember those things, that is to remember that it is our job to love and trust ourselves or love and trust our Being. We get it really wrong when we expect others to do that for us. When we try to get others to love and trust ourselves we always at one point along the way end up in trouble – suffering.

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...
