What is Your Self-Worth? – (1492)

You Probably Don’t Know

We probably don’t know within ourselves what our self-worth is yet. This is because we have not thought about it just yet. This is because we havn’t as yet asked ourselves the question: “What am I worth?” and honestly searched for a deep and sincere answer just yet.

When we ask and sincerely search for an answer, something new arises in us.


Answering the Question: “What is our self-worth?”

When we ask ourselves the question and search for an answer, we may find that we are worth $250,000 in new sales to the company that we work for, we may also find that we are worth all the bills paid, food on the table, household chores being done on time, support to our family when needed, a reliable tax payer, etc. But is that really our self-worth? No! That is more our external value to others and society.

What is the value of yourself to yourself? That is more what self-worth is.

Some people may just answer immediately: “a rubbish bin” or a “demi-god”. Both answers of course are not right. We have to go beyond these two extremes and look for the truth of the matter.

We may start by becoming aware of all of our good points, virtues or values and then being aware of our lacks and defects.

You may also explore your inherent value, which is you in life as a person, as a citizen, and then you in the spiritual field: you as an essence and you as a vehicle of a Divinity (a Monad).

What is that value of you as an essence connected to a Divinity? It maybe be hard to know but it is very different to the value that you give yourself or makes you to give to yourself when someone rejects you or does not smile at you or treats you badly, isn’t it?


Our Self-Worth Holding Steadfast in the Storm

Why do we give ourselves a low value when we are rejected when we already have our value or self-worth set as an essence who has a Divinity? Maybe because we havn’t established our true self-worth yet.



If we have established clearly to ourselves what our true self-worth is it is difficult that we so easily accept from ourselves and from others a value or a worth that is different to this true self-worth that we have set up inside of ourselves. Whether ourselves (another ego) or someone else gives us a value or worth that is greater or less than what our true self-worth is!


Conclusion

We have to reflect on that of our self-worth and establish the correct view of it or appreciation of it.
If we don’t reflect on it we will continue to be a victim of our own egos of pride, self-love and of course self-importance.

End (1492).

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...
