Master Samael’s Spoken Cure for Depression - (824)

Introduction

Master Samael in one of his talks that was recorded mentioned a remedy to depression.

Perhaps he had passed through some kind of depression or knew someone that had or was passing through it at that time. We don’t really know, never mind the remedy he gave is what is important for now.


His Remedy

He said that if one enters into mediation and goes into profound remembering of the Being one can come out of the depression that one feels oneself to be in.



How to Start to Apply the Remedy

If we though start by practicing mental silence, that is take 15 to 20 minutes to sit down and focus on not thinking at all. This practice though so simple has some really profound effects.

It has some profound effects because it activates the conscious which displaces the fear that is causing the depression. Also with depression there is a kind of vacuum or emptiness and that needs to be filled. When we activate the consciousness the consciousness itself begins to fill that void. The consciousness fills that void with the possibility of many things, among them is a purpose in the Being. This experience or a purpose in the Being alters the depressed state dramatically.


The Practice

Any way give it a try. Sit down, relax, be still, focus your attention on the mind and do your best to observe all the thoughts and let each one go. Keep your focus on the alertness required to see the thoughts. Then after some time go to you r heart and just listen in stillness and silence. Make an effort to open the heart to receive and perceive, and just concentrate your focus there. Perceiving and very quietly and deeply sending waves of opening and embracing to the Real Living Being that you carry inside of you and that is you in the higher depths.


A Recommendation (Maybe Good Maye Not)

I say opening and embracing because yearning and searching makes it worse because it introduces into our background a sadness a loneliness that we are far from the Being and that he won’t come to us and consequently we don’t feel anything, we end up disappointed with the practice and worse off than we were before the practice.



End (824).

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...
