Ding Dong – Door Bell Anxiety - (1833)

One “I” to Dissolve for Today!

Here’s one facet of fear to dissolve for today - the anxiety of opening the front door.

Understanding

We could have buried memories where once we answered the front door to a very unpleasant visitor or even to an intruder. Then from within our subconscious thought processes to the tune of “It is going to happen again or what if it happens again.” Begin to function making their effects felt in our emotional, motor and instinctive centres.

We could be worried that we will be delayed, or we may have done something not so right and we worry that behind the door is someone coming to complain or that because we are not very good at saying “no” we feel we will have our whole diverted away from what we had planned.


Remedies

Don’t Have to Answer the Door

In all of the above cases there are remedies. Knowing that we don’t have to answer the door if we don’t have any prior agreement or if we are not expecting anyone helps to immediately reduce the anxiety. Have a look it may be some shady character, which of course it is not wise to open your door to such a person.

We Don’t Have to be Controlled

Also, knowing that we are not ever controlled, but rather we allow ourselves to be controlled, also reduces our anxiety levels when it is the “I” of selfishness worrying that it will lose control of our day.

Selfishness

When we know that we can possess ourselves being aware and living the moment in alertness and self-observation the desire of selfishness to be alone doing what we want to do subsides. This is because selfishness has as a foundation the belief that being alone doing what we want to do is good for us, relaxes us, is productive and is a way to be with ourselves. But we don’t need to be alone and controlling our whole day to be with ourselves. Often when we do this, control our whole to be alone we don’t feel so good, it is like over eating or over indulging and we don’t feel so good. This is because our own essence is not selfish.

Fear

If we have done something wrong, focus on repairing it and know that once it is repaired, that fear will be gone and the issue or debt will also be gone. Hiding away won’t make it better but only increase the anxiety.

Trust that only if you have a karmic debt will something ‘bad’ happen if you open the front door. If it is a debt that you have to face, then pay it and be free from it forever, and trust that you will off securely and soundly and come out on the other side ok. But otherwise trust that nothing will happen.

End (1833).

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...
