"I Have Not Worked On Myself Today!" – Then Demand it of Yourself! – (1464)

Oh no!

Sometimes we say to ourselves “Oh no I have not done anything today!” and we feel like we have wasted the day and a kind of loss - lamenting type of feeling enters our emotional centre. Then we get side tracked again.


Demand Work from Yourself

The way to avoid that is to then demand work from yourself. Demand that you observe something, demand that you comprehend something new or something a little deeper and demand that you pray to the Divine Mother and ask for the elimination of something.

Crack the whip on yourself. No one else will do it for you. You have to do it for yourself!

It is just like you are at work and you look at the time and you realise that it is late in the day and you haven’t done much, so what do we do? We just demand work of ourselves! If you are in Australia: “you just get cracking” don't you? And if you are in America: “you get it done” don't you?


Conclusion

In conclusion, we have to be regularly demanding of ourselves. Say to yourself: "Come on, give me work, give me death!". 

This is real rest and peace! Why? It seems like it is hard work? Well, it may be, or it may not be, but what it is for sure is peace. This is because when we don’t work on ourselves we feel uneasy, regretting, a little lost, a little empty, and longing always to the future to work on ourselves and that is not relaxing or peaceful. Is it? The work is NOW!

End (1464).

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...
