Key to Change Reference Points – (1359)

Definition

Definition is a result of changing one's reference point, as mentioned in a previous post.


Change Reference Points

Changing one’s reference point requires a kind of fusion with that reference point. In other words, it implies a kind of ‘being one’ with that reference point.

The maximum in changing reference points is to ‘be’ the new reference point. That is not easy, we can however start with alignment and polarisation with the new reference point, then go to identification with it then later 'being it'.

Icarus chose his pride as his reference point. He should have chosen reality
(wings made using wax) and his father as his reference point.

Reference Point on the Essence

To have the reference point on our essence we have to have some fusion or identification with that reference point. That is for sure!

When we think using the reference points of the ego we are already identified with the identity of the ego. We have assumed its identity. The reference points make up its identity or the identity that we get identified with.

To be identified with the mind or personality means we have taken the mind and personality as our reference point.

Any argument is all about reference points. Change the reference point drop the argument. Arguments are just a difference in mental positions, i.e. reference points.

End (1359).

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...
