Harmful Crazy Things we do in Our Mind

Harmful Crazy Things we do in Our Mind - (1211)

Introduction

Here are two things that we do with our mind that actually really harm us.

Replay Offence Over and Over

If someone offends us, they really only did it once. Well if we are smart we won’t let it happen again. But when it comes to our mind we are not that smart. We replay it and replay it and feel hurt each time we replay it in our mind. Crazy hey? they hit us once but we hit ourselves 40 times over. I’m trying not to hit the rewind and play buttons in my mind.

So who really hurts us then? The person who offends us for 5 seconds and its all over or own ourselves who replay the offence 35 times over?

We with our mind are just as crazy as this lady, risking the physical body just to touch a great white who couldn't care less!

Argue with Others or Fantasise about Arguing When We Hate Arguing

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like arguments, I am not sure what to do really, stay quiet or speak out or go for the balance, a bit of a combination silence and speak out, or just state facts and transform the rest. But that’s not the point, the point is that we don’t like arguments yet we can argue and argue with others in our mind for many minutes and even create many fantasies about arguing and of course we always win those arguments in our fantasies don’t we?

In real life though it may be the opposite, that we lose them all or we stay quiet and try to transform it all (big mistake when we take it all and don’t transform it because the next argument is the one where you lose control), maintaining some separation while smiling inside when invoking the understanding that it is better to be free than right.

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...
