What is Absolute in Us? – (1306)

Introduction

There are certainly absolute values within us. These values are the values of our Real Being. These values when freed and installed within us and given the freedom to express without any blocks or obstacles are like a mini sun. They just shine no matter what. They are not dependent on anything. Just take trust for example, when we have real trust we still trust even of the person likes or dislikes us, when we have love, we love even when others like or dislike us.


Values of Our Being are Absolute

So, in short the values of our Real Being are absolute in us, because they are true and whatever is true is absolute. Absolute is permanent and perennial just as is truth. Truth does not change.


Mistake of Giving Something an Absolute Value

We make the mistake of making something absolute or going things an absolute value when they do not deserve it or are not absolute.

To give life and personality an absolute value is a mistake because it ends. To give the path, Gnosis an absolute value is right because that is their nature, they are absolute by nature.

The real reason why we can’t detach from things is because we have given something an absolute value, a ‘be all and end all’ value or importance.


Our Real Being Deserves an Absolute Value

The only thing that deserves this is our Being and that is exactly the right thing to do. When we give something an absolute value that should not have one we suffer, we feel pain etc. and when we do give something an absolute value and it is absolute we don’t suffer, we feel relaxed and at peace.


If We Suffer it is Because Something that Shouldn’t have an Absolute Value has been Given One

If we can’t find it, it is because deep within our mind we are giving something an absolute value.

Lust gives the way it conceives sex an absolute value, pride gives wining an absolute value, greed gives money an absolute value, vanity gives the opinions of others an absolute value etc.

Are you giving something an Absolute value that you shouldn’t?

End (1306).

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...
