Prayer to the Inner God – (5362)

A Difference

There is a definite difference between praying to a God that we located outside of ourselves to praying to a God located within ourselves.


To the Outside God

People generally pray to a God that is outside of them. Meaning that when they pray they feel a separation between who they are praying to and themselves.

Even having studied Gnosis one can feel this way when praying to one’s own Divinity or Real Being.
A person who has studied Gnosis can be praying and directing his/her prayers to a God that his or her own but is felt to be outside of oneself, somewhere high up in the sky or the heavens.

Doing this though does not mean that these prayers are ineffective or wrong.


To the God Inside

We consider God to be the head of the universe and so He is indeed. We are actually a universe in miniature and so our God, our Real Being is the king of our universe. Our Real Being is the supreme power within us.

The supreme power in the cells of our body, the supreme power in our emotion, mind and will and the supreme power of our consciousness and spirit.


We May Not like to Pray to a God Inside Because…

We sometimes even knowing this want to still pray to a Divinity that we locate outside of ourselves. The reality is that God or our Real Being is where He is, not where we put Him.

We feel that praying to something outside of ourselves is more powerful because an outside power can have power over us totally as a person or as a n essence in our body. But what about having total power over us from inside of our body, mind, emotion, will and essence? Isn’t that more powerful after all?

We may not trust that our Being is powerful and so we pray to an outside God. But He is always inside of us. We may also feel that we are isolating ourselves praying this way, but we are not because pour Real Being is inside of us and also inside of the Absolute. So in prayer to our Real Being we are connecting to the Great Unity of All Beings.

Through the connection to the ‘All” our Real Being is powerful and can influence our external circumstances.

You will see that prayer to our Being makes us closer to others precisely because of that. If prayer to our God inside of ourselves isolated us we would end up disliking others, but this does not happen.

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...
