The Mystery is All Around

The Mystery is All Around - (2071)

In the Moment All we Find is Mystery

When delve into the moment all that we try find is mystery. we are surrounded by mysteries.

When we look at the person in front of us talking to us, we find a mystery, who really is that person and why am I in his or her life and why are they in my life. If we are alert and truly in the moment we mostly likely will not be able to find a sincere answer, hence the mystery. This is the 'don't know' mind that is honest and open, and transcends the sensual and intermediate minds.

When we also look into the moment we may ask ourselves: "Why am I here, Why am I in this country? This city? What am I doing here?". Once again a real mystery.

Perceiving the Mystery

The important thing here is to be able to perceive the mysteries all around us and to be in awe of them. The person who does not see the mystery all around him or her is the one who is asleep. And to such a person they will find an mundane, trivial explanation to all of these questions. However, to the sincere seeker these explanations fall short of truly revealing the mystery.

Conclusion

Our goal is to one day lift the veil on the so many of our own life's mysteries.

Being in the moment, alert and attentive we make the possibility of us unveiling a mystery or two more possible and one day it will come to pass that we will lift the veil on the secrets of our life.

End (2071).

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...
