State of Alertness - Your Best Learning and Fighting Tool - (1722)

Introduction

Say that you could only devote yourself to one practice for the awakening of your consciousness, that practice would be: "the state of alertness".  

(The state of alertness is to be acutely aware of our psychological processes and to be waiting with intense alertness for what next can appear in our psychology).

This practice intensely activates your consciousness, is done by the consciousness and exercises your conscious will. Everyone can do it and it has very important ramifications for our awakening of consciousness, self-knowledge and mystical death. 

Learn

Being in a state of alertness one can learn about themselves. We may read many books about psychology, esoteric psychology and even esotericism and become very frustrated because we still only know very little about ourselves. However, with the state of alertness we can learn directly in a conscious and real way. To be in a state of alertness is to read the book of our own nature. So with eh state of alertness we can do away with so much study and book reading. We should not stop studying though. Because the combining study with the state of alertness affords us many interesting discoveries, insights and understanding.

Natural State of Alertness - What we must do within our Psychology.

Fight

When we are working on the ego, lowering our guard is the biggest mistake that we can make. The state of alertness is to give ourselves the chance to see the ego coming so that we can learn something new about it and stop or divert it.

When the ego is approaching the human machine from the subconscious we can fight successfully. As soon as it is in the human machine the battle is much more difficult. Of course though we can succeed and we and others have many many times. Without the state of alertness to not get identified with the ego is impossible.

Constant Reminder

The real situation is, is that we drop so frequently in and out of the state of alertness. The solution is to just as frequently remember it, and start again as many times as we forget. As soon as you remember it, you are doing it again.

Conclusion

A day practicing the state of alertness is well worth it! More awakening, more self-knowledge, more will, less mistakes etc. etc.

To the battle!

End (1722).

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...
