Become Conscious of Our Errors – (1598)

Painful

It is a little painful to become conscious of our errors because while doing so we learn the gravity of our errors and the consequences that we have to face one day. As painful as this is, if we want to stop falling into this kind of error again in the future we must become as conscious of the error as possible.


Necessary – Conscious Shocks

While we ignore our errors we put ourselves on-track to fall into them again.

Meditating (focussing looking deeply into) on our errors seeing as honestly, as extensively and as deeply as possible the gravity and consequences of errors we provide ourselves with several conscious shocks.

These conscious shocks are imperative for us to make changes. We can even go so far to say that no conscious shock equals no change.


First Step

The first step to eliminating any error from our life is to become conscious of it. While in the process of becoming conscious of it we will undoubtedly come across its cause, which will be on or more psychological “I’s”.

The process of becoming conscious of our errors will take on the serious work on these “I’s” that are the cause of these errors.



We will also feel instinctively that before we can have the grace of being able to remove these errors from our psyche and therefore our life, we need to pay the price of having made these errors.

We will also feel naturally and instinctively that the force of repentance is something that will save us and get us across the line. Without it, we feel that something is missing.


Conclusion

Meditate on our errors honestly and deeply as possible and from the sincere yearning to be free from it, the way to doing so will sprout in you. The need for reparation and repentance will naturally rise and flow out of you.

End (1598).

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...
