Like Flowing Water - (1250)

Like Water

If we were like water inside of ourselves, constantly flowing we would feel great.

This is one of the points of wisdom of water and life. Water brings life and life flows. As soon as water stops flowing life stops. As soon as life stops flowing - life stops and death appraoches.

Even the human body is designed and built to move, to flow. The first sign of life is to be found in the motor centre when we breathe, when there is movement within our body.

The ego is every blockage in that flow of water and life within us. Things, people, circumstances, etc. flow in and out of our life. The ego desires and wishes to hold onto and possess, stopping and altering the flow of life.

Accept the Flow

If we can accept the flow of our own life, how much peace we could feel.

Circumstances flow on by, let them flow by, let the bad times flow past us and let the good times flow in and out just the same. The flow of our life is taking us somewhere, of course somewhere past the bad times, we don’t need to get stuck in those bad times.

Just as with friendship, a wise thing to do is to let the insults and offences be like water flowing under a bridge. If we hold onto them bitterness stays in us, just as water when still stagnates. They are friends overall aren’t they, so let the insults an offences flow past and let’s be friends.

End (1250).

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...
