Should People Take Interest in Us? - (1074)

Introduction

We may feel hurt or sad or like we are missing something or losing something when another person does not pay interest to us.

Obviously in such a situation we are wanting that person to take an interest in us, and part of the reason why we feel so upset is because of this expectation.


Reality Says they Don’t

We can’t say that people should be interested in us. People should only be doing what they are doing. We associate people not being interested in us as not loving us or not wanting us to be important in their lives. With this thought we feel very sad etc.


Can be Overcome

But if we generate our love for our Being we can overcome that.

We can overcome it because when we generate love for the being we are filling a gap in ourselves. When we generate love we are generating love from within our core, what happens with the ego of self-love is that it is made redundant because we are generating the same love for ourselves or our Being as self-love does. Self-love generates love for ourselves but based on others loving us or liking us, and when others don’t love us the ego of self-love does the opposite generates feelings of self-debasement or self-loathing etc.

However, the way we are generating love differs, this way of generating love comes from within us independent of any other factor, though with self-love we generate love dependent on others loving us. We always only generate ourselves the love that we feel for another person or for our Real Being or ourselves. The trick is how it is generated.


Conclusion

The love we feel for our Being is independent of others. We are not losing love, because we have it in our heart and consciousness and furthermore our Being is made up of it.

End (1074).

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...
