Sentimentalism does not Exist in Nature

Sentimentalism does not Exist in Nature - (1245)

In Nature

Watching some nature documentaries by David Attenborough an observer can notice that sentimentality does not exist in nature amongst the animals, plants and even the elements. What rather exists is survival of the fittest.

A big black ugly python finds the den of a mother leopard and strangles and swallows her cute, defenceless cub while she is away hunting for food. A victorious male lion prancing through his new pride rushes at the young male cubs, who approach him with enthusiasm as if to play, and for that they receive death by a crushing and unrelenting bite to the neck.

Then you see buffalo gathering together to fend off attacking lions.

Don't think this lion was being nice, it followed through with its killer instincts.

Then you see a mother elephant rescuing her young calf from the mud while the others in the herd help and standby lending their support. Is this sentimentalism?

Up you go baby jumbo!

In Human Life

Does sentimentalism exist among humans? Of course it does, but does it exist only because it is a creation of the human mind or does it exist in life, on the earth all by itself?

I honestly think that because sentimentalism is subjective it does not have a true absolute existence by itself. It has a relative one. That is, it depends upon the mind to exist, but not just any mind, a mind trapped within relativity and duality.

What Then Really Exists?

Love, but conscious love! The real compassion exists also, such as the compassion in the compassionate heart of the Buddhas and their bodhisattvas. The compassion of Avalokiteshvara, Guanyin etc.

Avalokiteshvara with a 'thousand' arms to help.

What is Conscious Love?

I don’t know! I can’t write anything about it, except that it is discovered in the moment, processed in the moment and yields the intended result.

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...
