We Tend to Falsely Use Love to Get our Image Back on Track - (1985)

How Many Times?

How many times have we in the past said “I love you”, “you know I love you.” When we did something incorrect and the other person is upset with us.

We Pander

We tend to pander to others so that they, we hope, restore the way they think of us, that is to go to think about us positively once again.

The Trick is to Reverse the Inner Workings of Ego

With the work on the ego the trick is always to reverse the inner workings of the ego and as soon as we do that, we are on the right track before the Law (balance), the Being and our essence.

Pandering Reversed

So instead of pandering to others we must then look at what is true and accept it. This is because when we pander we don’t want them to accept the truth but to accept our pretend truth that we are ‘good’ or ‘not so bad after all’. We want with pandering to make them accept our truth by force instead of letting them have their truth (which may not be the truth but we have to see the truth).

The next step is then instead of pandering by making efforts to please others we make efforts to please our inner Being or the moral side of ourselves by working to change what triggered the whole misfortunate event.


We do this because, when we pander to others we forget our Being and so we must reverse this by remembering our Being. Then when we remember our Being we realise that pandering to others mostly goes against us.

When we remember our Being we can then compensate before ourselves, because we comprehend that we did something wrong or something that was a little wrong or border-line wrong, and all that matters is that we are upright before our Being. It is our Being’s approval that we must seek and we get that by working on the source of any errors that we can make. This is the compensation when we comprehend why we made those errors. We compensate to ourselves with light. When we liberate light we have balanced ourselves internally.

End (1985).

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...
