We Always Find Ourselves – We are the Ones we are Waiting For - (1033)

Introduction

Sometimes in life things happen that may disappoint us or disillusion us or make us feel empty or make us feel that we are lacking or missing something or we are without something.
These are good experiences, because after a while of trying to get the thing that we thought that we could get but in truth we can not, we come to see that what we are left with is ourselves.


At the End we are Left with Ourselves

At the end of all things that is what we are left with – ourselves, and the question of ourselves, is our very own real Being in our depths.
We are left with the dilemma of looking inwards, into ourselves to find our Being and seek refuge there and develop within our interior for ourselves what we lack, or we can forget that all we are left with, which is ourselves and try and get what we lack from outside. The latter option is like to forget the truth that all we are left with is ourselves and fall asleep and begin to chase something that we can not catch but we believe we can catch it this way.
After everything goes or ends we are only left with ourselves and that has to be fine. We have to relate well with ourselves because that is who we are and that is who we are left with before life, during life and after life.

Any Moment Can Bring Us to Ourselves

We are at any moment turned over to ourself. When we are ignored, left behind, rejected, humiliated, attacked, insulted, excluded etc. we are left to be with ourselves.
All these happenings and events in which we are disappointed or disillusioned teach that we should always be with ourselves and we have to really like at first and then love or be able to take refuge within ourselves and with ourselves.

Conclusion

When we realize that we are only ever with ourselves or with our Being we can then begin to make something of the pains of being rejected, neglected, ignored, etc. weaker. This is because we are not afraid of a situation that will bring us back to ourselves or in other words closer to the Being.
If we are not afraid of being with ourselves and able to feel complete with ourselves we will become a lot freer.
End (1033).

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...
