Sentimental About Cremation? – (1842)

Well Don’t Be and Why Not to Be

We may be sentimental when it comes to cremating a loved one. Of course, for many reasons, one being that we think that it will hurt the deceased one or that them being buried keeps them closer or nearer to us, and there are many other reasons that go along the same lines.

From the sentimental point of view these reasons are in accordance with the common sentimental ways of thinking and feeling that are often not practical, and are also often not fully true.

From the esoteric point of view these reasons are strange. Esoterically speaking, these reasons don’t stand to benefit the essence of the deceased person.



For the reasons being that fire is a liberating agent. Fire acts on the body of the deceased to release the energy and spiritual components remaining within the body to be absorbed by the essence of the deceased. Fire sends frees the essence of the deceased so that it can travel freely into the superior worlds if that is its appointed destiny.

Fire acting on the body of the deceased liberates the essence of the deceased and allows it without further delay to fulfil its destiny as a soul.

The body is like a magnet that in some way attracts the essence for a while after death. The body being buried also keeps the personality more alive. The personality of the deceased person perishes in time but it can live on for several years after the death of the body. Having the body buried is like the home for the personality it continually gravitates back to the body, and this allows people to feel that the deceased person is still around and then this generates thoughts and emotions that travel and affect the essence of the deceased in a way that does not help the essence of the deceased.

Conclusion

Don’t you think having the essence free to travel to the lighter, happier and illuminated regions of the cosmos is kinder? Isn’t not delaying the journey of that essence that we loved so much is kinder? The essence without a physical body is completely spiritual and there is no point in trying to tie it down to a world that it does not belong to.

End (1842).

    Yes it is. Fire does purify and the attachments that the ego cultivated with the body are broken faster

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...
