If not Everyone Likes Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed... How then can we Expect to be Liked by Everyone?

If not Everyone Likes Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed... How then can we Expect to be Liked by Everyone? - (1801)

Introduction

You know the ego of self-love at times can't understand why people don't like us. It has difficulty understanding this when it comes to new people that we meet, when comes to people that we have known for a while and when it comes to one particular person.

A Reality

If we look at the way people feel towards: Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and some of the other great prophets, we will discover that there are those that love them, there are those that like them, there are those that are neutral towards them (perhaps don't even think about them) and then there are those that don't like or even hate them.

These men were really terrific, they showed through their actions that they really loved humanity, and in spite of this there are people who are indifferent to them and even don't like them.

This is a huge reality, so then if these terrific men are loved by some, regarded impartially by some and disliked by some, then we can't expect to be liked or loved by everyone can we? Especially when we have not loved as they have.

This is a hard truth for the ego of self-love to face, but it is a reality slapping us right in the face: we can't be liked and loved by others and as always with reality, the best thing that we can do by reality is to accept it and even love it.

Maybe Not Everyone Loved Them But Most Likely they Loved Everyone

That is the thing that we have to latch onto here. Not everyone will like us, but we can certainly like and love them, that can come true, but not the other way around. This is the truer side of relatively and duality that we must place ourselves in. The opposite side is against reality and being at odds with reality always brings upset, offence, suffering, sleepless nights, loss of appetite, restlessness and heart ache.

End (1801).

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...
