When People Lack Trust or Faith they Become Cynical or Negative - (784)

Observation:

When within us there is a lack trust in ourselves or we happen to distrust others we become quite cynical.

Lack of Faith

This means that a lack of faith makes us to see ourselves in a negative light, and when we see ourselves in a negative light we think that we will fail, that we will not succeed or not make it or that things will not turn out well and we quite easily express our cynicism, saying things like "I'm stupid'' "things always turn out bad", “yeah, yeah again, that always happens” etc.

Just going off on a little bit of a tangent here, when we are under a karma our faith and trust is also taken away from us. When the karmic debt finishes our faith and trust returns and we see life and our future in a totally different way.

Distrusting Others

The worst situation I feel is when we distrust others. Here are some of the typical things that we feel and think when we distrust others: we feel that they don't love us, that they are using us, that they only partly trust or like us or they are just leading us on. We feel that they are doing things behind our back, that they are talking about us behind our back and that they want things to go bad for us!

Conclusion

When we are lacking in trust cynicism flows out of us very easily. This is something that is very easy to observe and when we observe it, we can turn our attention towards trust to counteract it.

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...
