The Gymnasium to Conquer the Fabrication of One’s Psychological Moon - (1059)

Introduction

The gymnasium to conquer the fabrication of one’s psychological moon is a fierce one.
Often it is a very painful one. It does not have to be painful though it may not be for certain people or at certain times.


If it is Painful

If it is painful, it is because we need yet to learn many intimate truths, and because we are very attached to certain beliefs that are not true we end up suffering in the process of realising our beliefs are wrong before coming over time, to realise and adopt these truths deeply enough to displace the suffering.


First Lesson

One needs to come to the conclusion that one is really above all, a consciousness and that consciousness is of a Real Being, and that Real Being is real and has a real presence, and furthermore is inside of ourselves and we are ultimately that Being.

Coming to this realisation, which mind you must be realised by our consciousness, requires releasing many false identities and points of reference. We have to stop deriving or forming our identity from anything external. For this to happen, most of the time there has to be a break down in our connections to these external things and this can be painful, especially if our identity is based on a particular relationship.


Second Lesson

We have also to realise that the true or truer point of reference is our own consciousness. This must be proven to us over and over so that it sinks deeply into our very own consciousness.


Third Lesson

We must have to make many errors in compensating using external things and this is painful also. But it is a learning process to acquire the knowledge of how to compensate from within instead of from without.

This learning requires us to learn how to manage of our forces by ourselves and for the Being and through our Being.


Fourth Lesson

We must also come to the conclusion that everything about us is our responsibility. Our happiness, our suffering, our mistakes, our karma, our pain, our life, our heart etc. all belong to ourselves and are our responsibility. The inner life of others is not for us to manage; it is their business.


Summary

There are a few other things as well and all these things require work to acquire. But each new lesson it gets quicker and quicker to learn as the first lessons have been learnt.

End (1059).

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...
