Karma in us Makes us to Think in a Particular Telltale Way – (1366)

Introduction

The karma that we all have actually through time conditions our way of thinking. This post is about describing the very typical way our ways of thinking have been influenced by the karma that we have.

Note, these notes come from the recent retreat mentioned in previous posts.

Sometimes seen as cruel, but it is true, it is the law.

Karmic Way of Thinking

When we have karma, we also end up getting into karmic way of thinking. This way of thinking goes like this: 'It will go wrong, things are not going to work out well, things never usually work out well, it is probably a disaster waiting to happen.".

We have had so many humiliations, so many failures, so many reprimands that it has come to be so natural that we think this way! So normal, so entrenched even into our instinctive centre. We have a very firm of memory of karma, that has to be removed, once we pay a karmic debt or we pay all of our karma.


Karmic Word

When we are under karma we are always explaining, always justifying because we are under punishment, under duress, under evaluation.

We basically have a karmic word, that also wishes to control. We have karma within us and because of that we want to exercise the vigour of the law.

Because of unity what we do to others we do to ourselves.


Wish to Help Everyone

When we have karma we wish to help everyone because we are scared of the karma hitting them and we are really scared of the karma hitting us.

When we are free of karma we stop becoming a beggar. The time of being a beggar is over, once we really have paid our karma.

Mind you the person who has paid their karma can still get karma if they make a mistake!


Conclusion

Very interesting hey. I can see a lot of myself in those words. Because we still have karma we have fear of karma and that alone produces numerous actions to avoid even feeling that we may get karma.

End (1366).

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...
