The Emotion for the Change - (1198)

Introduction

The right state towards the change in us, is to feel a very pleasant and positive disposition. We can sometimes feels it difficult, dry, lonely and bitter but definitely not all of the time. If we feel like that then we have most likely transformed our love of the work into a duty. Read on...

Just a note, the change in us is really about awakening and fixing inside of us the virtues or values of our own Being.


Avoid Transforming Love into a Duty

What we have to avoid is transforming love into a duty. We can transform a duty into love and we can transform love into a duty, we can go both ways. However we will face some difficulty in transforming the love lost to a duty, back to love again.

To get back that love we have to go back to what we loved and rekindle the flame. That love is there still, but weak it just needs rekindling.

Once something has become a duty, it proves quite difficult to transform it into love again. Be really watchful of not transforming love into a duty, if we have love for something, that is a precious gift,  we have a marvellous thing in our hands and we really really should look after it. Because as soon as we lose it everything related to it turns bitter.

We can choose to make the work, Gnosis a bed of rose petals or an uphill battle.

We have to not make our love turn into a duty!

It is our responsibility to choose what to make of it, a bed of rose petals or an uphill battle. Remember it is our responsibility not our missionary's or our friends. 

End (1198).

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...
