The True Sentiment of the Astral Body

The True Sentiment of the Astral Body – (1089)

Sentiments of the Being

Master Samael says that with the astral body one can feel the sentiments of the Being.

The sentiments of the Being are what are true or what reflect the truth.

Sentiments are different to emotions.

As the truth does not change the sentiments of the Being do not change, they continue of the same quality reflecting the same truth.

Emotions

Emotions come and go and change.

In the humanoid condition that is without the Being (human soul or higher) or without the state where we have the essence as the centre of gravity, we mostly experience emotions which we confuse as being the sentiment of the Being. We confuse these emotions as being expressions of truth. But they are not reflections of the truth because they change.

We feel at night that something is ok, but come the morning it all changes and it feels different. We feel we love and that that feeling of love is true, but it changes etc. etc. We may feel something about a thing, activity or person and we feel that that feeling is a true perception but it later changes, showing us that what we felt was only an emotion.

Conclusion

The point of this post is to be weary of the emotions, if they seem to be reflecting a truth about something or about ourselves just wait. If they change, it was a subjective state producing subjective emotions, but if they remain then they could well be sentiments of the Being and perhaps there is an astral body there involved. But it yet has to be confirmed and known with more concrete evidence before conclusively concluding that to ourselves.

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...
