Remedying Imbalances Caused by the “I” of Self-Love – (1676)

Introduction

With the people and in the special situations that involve love, self-love is present. Now, this could be the “I” of self-love or the self-love of the consciousness.

For most of us it is usually the ego of self-love that comes to tend to the business that occurs in these situations.

Note, the difference between the self-love of the ego is that it feels love towards us through others. That is when others are happy with us and they express their love we feel love towards us. When they are not happy with us we dislike them because we feel debased and unkind towards ourselves.


Balance Books

As often happens, our ego of self-love gets hurt and so we feel a kind of an imbalance, and a sense that something was unfair. And that makes us unbalanced inside of ourselves. We feel that we have to somehow go and right that unbalance.

We usually do it by getting angry at the other, becoming demanding or sad, or sulking or using some sort of sabotage tactics to get back at them and indirectly let them know that we are upset and that they should right their wrong.


Right Way to Right the Imbalance/Debt

The right way to right the scale is to immediately go to use the right self-love which is to love inwards and upwards to go to the Being in us and begin by loving the Being that dwells within. Love that energy of life, that conscious stream of life that emanates from the place all of us come from. To love the Being in us is also to love the origin of our Being which is the Absolute and it is also to love others.

The more love we have given to others the more and better we can love our Real Interior Being.

End (1676).

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...
