What’s Wrong with Pleasure? – (1467)

I’ll Tell You

It only becomes is wrong or generates negative consequences when it crosses over a line. Before that it is ok in the sense that it does not generate negative consequences.

Eating a chocolate is a pleasure, eating another one is and another is but the fourth one makes us to feel a little queasy and if we keep going we end up feeling sick, don’t sleep well and put on some weight, all negative consequences in most people’s appreciation (if we are overweight already or are watching our weight but not if you are not overweight).

A very cunning fox (or coyote) is what we have to be. Know all the lines that there are in creation and not cross them.

Line Crossed

As soon as the line is crossed pleasure turns to regret or pain.

The trick is always to know where this line is. Sometimes we have to discern where it is and other times our own body tells us where it is. Sometimes our own psychology tells us where it is, when we begin to feel uneasy and anxious that is the line for us. Sometimes we don’t know and have to be told or taught. But we have to know, to not know is to be disadvantaged, but what is worse still, is to know and not follow through, not obey that knowledge of not crossing that line that we know exists.


Conclusion – There is a Line Everywhere in Creation

This applies to everything in creation, that is with everything that is within relativity and duality. This only does not apply within the unity or within the absolute where there is no relativity and duality.

The reason why this is, is because as an inherent property of relativity and duality is that one thing is good and stays good until the reference point changes and then it goes to the other side of duality, that is it becomes bad. The reference point is the line.

In conclusion, know well all the lines that there are in creation! It may take many lives to learn or know all these lines, but that is what is essential to have a complete knowledge of creation and to know the bad in the good and the good in the bad.

End (1467).

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...
