Realise in the Beginning it is Hard – (1741)

Start Well

The experience of time in Gnosis is interesting. The encounter in Gnosis is usually very warm, pleasant and relieving. The feeling of having found something so real, so explicative, so clear and so possible and so full of promise that we feel a great relief and content of the essence.

However, that is the learning stage, the working stage is a little different, that is when things change.
In the learning stage we receive much help all with the purpose to help us verify the knowledge and cement our position and understanding.


It Gets Hard

Once we begin to understand the necessity for the work on ourselves and we learn at the least basics of how to do it things change. A shift occurs in our karmic account. The payment of our karmic account opens and the work of definition begins. Which is a bitter kind of a work. Because much has to be undone and much has to be established. Much resistance must be overcome and so we feel weak, sick, upset, like we are swimming against the current, our astral experiences dry up and overall it is a miserable time. Our strong egos appear to really bother us and nothing makes us happy. All we feel is down, upset, weak, tired, angry as well as envious at those who say Gnosis is great.

If we don’t understand this stage we may end up leaving, which is a mistake. The solution is through. Work and work to get through it. The less problem we make of it the better and the less troublesome it will be for us.


Persist and the Sun Will Begin to Peer Through the Clouds

The key is to persist and persist. Our Being helps everyone in this difficult stage to persist. As soon as the bulk of our karmic payment has been made things shift and things change starting by a change in our interior where a certain beautiful positive feeling for the work on ourselves appears along with hope, optimism and a looking forward to the battles with the ego because one now feels that one can triumph.

Then the work continues onward with many more things to be done. But this time there is a confidence, a happiness in our background.

End (1741).

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...
