Developing Psychic Faculties is not Spiritual Development - (1764)

Why Not? Because Experience has Shown that Psychics Leave the Path

We tend to think that developing clairvoyance, clairaudience, astral unfolding etc. are classed as spiritual development. To a minor degree they are. What is spiritual development is the real transformation of what we are now into 'to being' more of the Real Being in us. Real spiritual development is the development of the consciousnesses and the Real Divine Being in us.

Many psychic people with faculties come to study Gnosis, however all of them end up leaving. This is because the path which is what Gnosis is about, does not depend on faculties. It depends on consciousness and hard work. Faculties do not help one too much on the path, they in effect distract and divert one. 

The path is what takes one to becoming more of one's own inner Real Being. Psychic people are not interested in this aim, they are only interested in experiencing and talking about their faculties and not working to dissolve their egos so to make their Being in them grow.

There are people who are advanced on the path, they are to large degree the "Being" that dwells in them and their level of Being is correspondingly high, however they are not rich in faculties. This just goes to show that the development of the Being in a person and the position on the path does not depend on faculties.


Moral of the Story 

If you are disappointed because you don't have any faculties or great experiences like other people have, don't worry, you don't need them. Keep working on awakening your consciousness, dissolving your egos, transmuting your sexual energy and loving your inner Being through action and prayer. 

Many people with faculties and wonderful experiences leave the work on themselves and the Gnostic studies. This is because they forget their experiences and either their faculties don;t help with the path, because faculties are not yearnings, will, love, trust, faith, wisdom, persistence, firmness, decision etc. which are the qualities of the consciousness and which are really needed to develop the Being in us and move along the path of the razor's edge.

End (1764).

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...
