The Whole Cornerstone of Your Work is Energy! - (1996)

We Need Energy

Without energy, we can not do anything.

Creation, a human body, a city, a town all function by virtue of energy. Imagine your city without electricity or running water or fire or light, and imagine all the people are low on energy and are all dog-tired. That city would all just decay and wither away wouldn’t it?

So, to work on ourselves well, we need energy! To maintain ourselves alert we need energy. To die in ourselves we need energy. To keep our consciousness lucid we need energy and more energy. To unfold into the astral consciously we need energy, to pray we need energy, to focus we need energy, to meditate and to imagine we need energy.

Energy is one of the most critical needs of the work. I remember one person answering “energy” to the question: “If you could have anything what would you ask for?”. This was a very good answer, quite a realistic answer actually, because with energy we can achieve all that we wish for.

Everything has a price though energy mostly comes to us as a gift of our Being. Our body gets body energy from food and we have to make efforts to buy food, however, our essence is energy and that energy comes to us for free.


We Must Cultivate and Save Energy

There is always one stumbling block of an ego in us that drains our energy. The work on this ego is the key to cultivating and saving your energies.

It could be lust, it could be anger, it could be fear and anxiety, it could be self-love and resentment or it could be ambition, envy and pride, or it could be gluttony, laziness and greed.

Whichever one it is, we must become tough, and go on a diet in relation to it. That is reduce the impressions that we take in and reduce the thoughts that we have related to that energy zapping ego combination.

Conclusion

Increasing our energy levels with transmutation, and cutting down radically wasteful uses of energy through alertness, awareness and cognition we can keep our energy levels high so that we can work more and better!

End (1996).

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...
