Our Bad Example Discredits Gnosis - (909)

Introduction

Gnosis the knowledge itself, does not discredit itself or harm or disappoint or disillusion others. That is all done by human beings.

If you ever feel disappointed with Gnosis, check carefully you will see that it is not the knowledge that is disappointing you but perhaps it is yourself and or others, but not the knowledge or the doctrine itself.

What really damages Gnosis more than anything else is the Gnostic people behaving badly and on the other hand what really promotes Gnosis are the many sincere people applying the Gnostic knowledge and keys in their life and making changes in their life for the betterment of themselves and others.


Our Change Embellishes and Makes Gnosis Shine

Changing for the better makes others interested in Gnosis. Really our work and our transformation is the best flyer for Gnosis.

When we Don’t change people who know us tend not to be very interested in Gnosis and are not motivated to inquire about Gnosis and they basically tend not to have faith in Gnosis because they don’t see it as real, that is a real dynamic force that works and changes people for eh better. Our lack of change makes others outside of Gnosis sand in Gnosis to not have faith in Gnosis and see it only as another religion type of thing.


A Very Difficult Point

One very difficult point always in this, is the perception of selfishness and superiority that humanity may see in the Gnostic person. As the Gnostic person works the Gnostic naturally becomes less and less interested in the things of life and many of the social engagements that go with it and so the Gnostic person can become quite isolated and unwilling to get involved with others. This may come across as an air of superiority or selfishness. Also the more a Gnostic likes the work the more he or she will want to attend the classes and this intense desire to attend classes and not miss any can offend others who are not working on themselves and be seen as very selfish and uncompromising etc.

This is a difficult line to walk and in many occasions giving up a class for social engagements turns out to have been a waste and sometimes getting involved with others who are not working can be a waste of time as well. So the most important thing always is to choose when we are going to help others if we can choose that is, and always always behave as the work would suggest, that is impeccably sometimes that is the best way of helping.

End (909).

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...
