Importance of Someone – How Important? – (1684)

Introduction

Someone can be so important to us in our life that after a while things end up going wrong, very wrong inside of ourselves.

Balance always. We can give too little or too less. When we give too little we are cold externally and when we give too much we are cold internally. So what happens when we give too much?


When we Give too Much

We vacate our interior, we begin to live in our thought forms that we think are the other person. Because we can never live in another person. We forget our Being, our work even, even our duties somewhat. When the other rejects us the results are devastating emotions.

It is easy from the start to keep the balance of not giving too much. But what about when we have given too much already?


When We Have Given Too Much

We obviously have to correct things don’t we. We have to subtract things and put them in the right place. We may do it tactfully to create as less pain, trouble or difficulty as possible, if you like. We also must heal the wounds that we have created as well.

We must act though, give less and give more to yourself at exactly the same time. See that you are residing more inside yourself now, you are bringing warmth to yourself. You are setting things up for there to be less pain for you and the other now and in the future.

We reverse things by understanding this, by knowing that we are benefiting ourselves in the right way now, which will benefit the other in a better way (give them freedom) and it is to be closer to our Being. Reversing really becomes true when we begin baby step at a time to do it, to carry out what we have understood.


Someone Should not Be More Important Than Your Being

If you feel like this oh no oh no! Alarm bells! You have to do something to mitigate this. Because it is only going to bring you pain. Because it is not the stable, legitimate position to be in. No spiritual master ever felt this way or taught us that this is the way!

To love others yes we must, but to do this is, make someone more that our Being is not to love, or at least not to set us up for love. Because doing this leads to profound resentment and hatred of others. You know many of those black magicians etc. and people who have done terrible things were in the beginning great a love but made mistakes like this. The black magicians are full of pain and ever lasting resentments.

Basically the ego in us does this, displaces the Being in us for another. The consciousness does not displace its source, only the ego does this so that it can be the exclusive one, the only one without obstacle to receive its food. When the other displaces us unfortunately the results speak, the ego is profoundly hurt and in its hurt it makes many errors.

End (1684).

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...
