Consciousness as Reference Point – (1394)

Introduction

Having our mind as a reference point is very different to having our consciousness as a reference point. One obvious difference is that our mind will always come up with an answer, correct or incorrect, whether it be totally unreal, or an assumption, or a theory, or a supposition, a fantasy or close to reality but an answer.

Our consciousness most of the time remains quiet when consulted leaving us with no apparent answer.


Consult the Consciousness and Make it a Reference Point

When we consult our consciousness the answer we get is always a certain answer. In the sense that is a definite knowing. If silence is the result when we consult our consciousness we have the answer, the answer is that for sure we don’t know the answer and we have to search. On the other hand we may consult our consciousness and we find that the answer is something that we actually do know or in the moment the answer comes to us. This is different to the mind where we never really know if the answer we get is real or unreal or true or false.

Most of the time though the answer we get from our own consciousness is silence meaning that we don't really know.

The tone of our own consciousness exists. Our consciousness vibrates, we have to tune in and tune ourselves accordingly.


This answer does not seem very helpful but it actually it is very helpful. Our mind thinks it knows what others are seeing and feeling but consulting our consciousness we realise the truth that we don't really know.

It is good to go inside of ourselves and consult directly our consciousness and see for real when we know and don't know! This is to have our own consciousness as a reference point.


Conclusion

When we use our own consciousness as a reference point we can "be our own judge". When we use our own consciousness as a reference point we care how we take impressions and we care about how we react. We care in two directions. When we have the reference point in others or in a wrong place, we only care about what we receive.

With our reference point in the wrong place we are always stuck on one side of things. This is quite lonely and we don’t allow ourselves the chance to receive revelation which happens when we consult our consciousness. We should consult our own consciousness all the time even if the answer is mostly "I don't know".

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...
