People Love According to the Role they Play in the Lives of Others – (1634)

People Love in Different Ways

When it comes down to human physical and psychological grounds, every person has a way to love. There are reasons for this that of course lie within the person. One of these reasons may be the role that they are charged with (consciously or unconsciously) playing in our life.

We have parents, siblings, teachers, friends and a master and a guru. Each to some degree is a role, and part of that role is a kind of love and a way of expressing that love.


Know the Role Others Play in Our Life

We can’t expect the same love from everyone in our life when they all have different roles in our lives, can we? The way a teacher expresses love is different to the way a friend expresses love.

If perhaps the teacher were to love in the same way that a friend does, that teacher may not be able to fulfil their role of teaching us. If the friend expressed their love in the way a teacher does, we would not call that friend a friend would we?

Our mistake is that we don’t recognise the role others have to play in our life and so we expect the same love from everyone and if they don’t meet that expectation we get disappointed and complain that they do not love us.

If we can know the role others play in our life, we can put many things into perspective and not get disappointed.

The most confusing cases are when a friend is both a friend and a teacher.


Love by Fulfilling their Role

Basically, everyone loves us by fulfilling the role that the Being, the Divine Mother and the Law have given to those people in our lives to fulfil.

Some roles may be very ample and include a very nurturing and supportive love and also include ‘tough love’ while another may be very narrow and only include ‘tough love’. Obviously the role of husband or wife includes many types of love and ways of love. To always expect the same type and way is to be stuck in a small section of life or reality and this produces suffering when we are face the other sides of reality and life.

Our suffering in life comes from not being able to so easily accept the new sides and events that life brings. Our attachment to the way we believe things should be, is suffering.


Conclusion

What are the roles others have in your life, meditate on them and identify them for yourself. Then meditate on the role who play in the lives of others and are you fulfilling that role well?

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...
