To Trust Our Mind is to Distrust Our Being - (1964)

Antidote for Fear

The antidote to fear is trust in the good and in the Being (the Spirit dwelling in each one of us). When we don’t believe or even trust in the Being or the Spirit, or in the prevailing power of good, fear arises in us!

When we trust in our mind there is not much trust left over to be used for anything else. When it comes to trust, trust is like a spotlight that works by being focused on something. When it is put onto something that something is what we trust. It is very much like our consciousness.

When we trust our mind we trust the negativity that there is in our mind and we forget totally the Being. There is no space for the Being or the Spirit within us when we are trusting the negativity in our mind.

Thanks to my marvellous missionary we have this God-Send Helpful teaching of Trust!

Trust the Consciousness in Your Work

We when we work on ourselves we sometimes trust more our mind. We want to put our work and its progress into the various boxes that our mind creates. We have a line of progress in our mind and we believe that our work’s progress should obey that line. Too often it doesn’t and we just suffer and have no other option but to suffer until we drop the line of progress imposed by our mind.

In the work we must follow the ways and methods of the consciousness and trust that the consciousness will make results happen. It has to, if the consciousness is active more often by applying the ways and methods of the consciousness we are going to make it flower more and more and make itself brighter and larger within us.

One of the ways of the consciousness is awareness, alertness and no-thinking. There are many more  ways, this was just a few.

End (1964).

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...
