Feeling Empty - (1665)

Introduction

There are times when we feel an emptiness that is quite painful.

This may occur after a retreat, or after close friends or family leave return home from a visiting, or someone leaves us or a relationship ends or a person close to us is very upset with us, etc.

Why do we feel empty when our essence and our Being are always there with us? There has to be a reason for that. Let's see some of the reasons.


Reasons for Feeling Empty

One

One reason is that we indeed could be very far from our inner Being and so naturally we do feel empty, with certain times being worse than others. However, I think this is not the main reason.

Two - Main Reason

The second reason is that there is something in our psychology that wants that we be inside the other person's heart or that we occupy a place in their inner space or that we are there with them in their relationship with their Being. The pain comes from the fact that during those special moments when a retreat ends, when a relationship falters etc. we realise the truth that we are not in their inner space and that we can't be there with them in their inner space with their Being and so we feel pain. 



Furthermore, we feel this pain because we are actually outside of ourselves far from our own inner house and our essence and our Being. We are actually trying to be inside another person rather than being within ourselves. So this is why we feel empty because we are outside of ourselves leaving ourselves empty.


Conclusion

We need to understand a truth here and that is, that everyone is only in their inner space with the inner own Being.

End (1665).

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...
