Didactic of Self-Confidence - (2038)

Introduction

Confidence is the fore knowledge that one shall pass through a challenging situation well. Either because has passed through the same many times before or one truly has the capacity to pass through such a difficult upcoming situation.

We must not forget what we have already passed through! Being consciousness of what we have passed through gives us a certain confidence that we may not have yet evoked in ourselves.

For there to be true and solid confidence there must be knowing or understanding or consciousness.

The Secret – Self-Mastery

Self-mastery! If one has mastered their desires, their fears, their hurt, then by default they have confidence because such a person can deal with anything that comes their way in life.

It is certainly not about conquering outside or controlling everything outside of ourselves but it is conquering ourselves from the inside. This conquest gives one self-confidence and trust.



One can be confident in any situation when one truly knows that one has control over their fear, their feelings of injustice, their hurt or psychological wounds, and their carnal desires. Because what else can harm you, tempt you, provoke if you have these things under control?

Confidence and Consciousness

Confidence is the clear knowledge of how the shield of the consciousness works. If one knows how to activate their consciousness and it transformative powers then they too can be confident.

The Buddha advised one to wear sandals rather than to always walk on grass. The sandals that the Buddha refers to is the capacity to transform and to endure the difficulties of life and the path.

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...
