Discern Right from Wrong

Discern Right from Wrong - (933)

Introduction

What is wrong hurts and what is right doesn’t. That simple.

There are times in our psychological work that we seem not to be able to understand or see that something is wrong.

One Way to Know Which is Which

One way to know that something is wrong is to look at its consequences in two fields, what happens inside of us and what happens outside of us. If we hurt as a result as a result of what happens in either of these fields then it is wrong. Consider this example.

An Example

We may not think that to have a beer now and then at 100pm at night is wrong. We say it is not hurting anyone, I am drinking it in my house, no one knows, I feel apparently ok etc.

If one is to look into this deeply one may feel inside of him or herself that one is faltering in their personal will and not doing their best in relation to their work and heir Being and so one deep down feels low or disappointed. See hurt equal wrong.

Consider the Consequences

The other thing is to consider the consequences, say somebody finds out and then their opinion of you will drop and if they are students of yours they may leave your group or get disappointed with Gnosis (which is wrong because Gnosis is not a person it is knowledge) or they may make a scandal or spread rumours. All of which will cause you hurt.

Conclusion

The results should always be considered when discerning if something is wrong or right.

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...
