If we do by the Gods what is Right by Men we Also do Right by the Gods - (1006)

Sometimes we Don’t Know What to Do

Sometimes when it comes to praying or conversing to the Gods we feel lost. We feel like this because of the various concepts that we have in our mind. We for example, may think that we are nothing to the Gods or that they despise us or that they are not interested in us or that we are just a bother to them or that we are simply too pathetic and stupid to even converse with them or what we have to converse with them about is something silly and something that they are so far beyond.


We have to Start Somewhere

We have to start somewhere in our conversations and prayers to the Gods, Angels and Masters. It never pays in life to be something that we are not and so we have no other recourse than to be ourselves and present ourselves as we are to the Gods.


To Do Right by the Gods - do What Is right by Men

This principle serves as guide to indicate to us what is right by the Gods. The axiom as above so below applies here. If we do what is right by men which includes so many things, and here are only some examples we will be doing right by the Gods. This is because what is right is right everywhere and what is right is in accordance with universal principles that pervade in the realms of men and Gods.

For example, to be honest, to fulfil promises, to be sincere, to give trust, to support, to respect, to be kind, to love, to communicate with the heart, to remember, to consider, to be constant, to give one face, to befriend, to be wise, to be generous, to be diligent, to be courageous, to be just, to be correct, to be balanced etc. and so on.


If we Treat the Gods, this Way we are Fine (we can’t do any more)

So if we treat the Gods this way we will do well. If we treat them in the best and most realistic way that we can, we will do well by them. Because this is in accordance with universal principles that affect the Gods and men and also pleases the Gods and men.


Conclusion

Our problem is that we either do not treat them (we block the idea of praying or conversing with them) or either we just expect too much. We expect their help when we don’t even ask for it. That is to be unrealistic. People rarely help us even when they know we need help, so we have to ask for help, how can we expect that the Gods will help us without us asking for their help first?

End (1006).

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...
