Something to Quickly Apply when Fuming with Toxic Anger: Ask Is it Harming Me?

Something to Quickly Apply when Fuming with Toxic Anger: Ask Is it Harming Me? - (1477)

Ask Vehemently in the Heat of the Moment

When we are angry already or getting angry as swift as the wind ask yourself honestly and intensely is this really harming me? The answer will mostly be no!

Then you will see anger drop down a notch.

Why?

Because anger arises and fuels itself on the perception and thought that something or someone is harming us.

Then What?

Then as soon as you know that the situation or the person is not harming us we have some space to engage our creative intellect and to us e wisdom instead of force or combine the two to provide a wise solution to the situation.

When Something is Not Harming Us!

When something really is harming us our anger is like justified (better if we just use firmness or reasonable force not anger). People won’t criticise and gossip and we will feel more or less alright (not too sorry or anything like that). But when something is not harming us and we get angry then that is when we lose out big time. We hurt others, we feel sorry and have to apologise and our image drops and their trust in us hits the floor.

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...
