Fantasy is a Huge Business for a Sleeping Humanity - (2101)

Huge Business

What a huge business human being have made out of fantasy.

There are shops and shops, both online and physical, that sell costumes, movies, replicas of objects from movies, props, novels, computer games, swords, axes, armoury, helmets, spears, all sorts of things that have no practical life value at all. But they seel and sell for high prices some of them.

Seeing this, is another sign of how asleep humanity is. To give such high value to things that re useless or to things that only worsen us is a sign that we are really asleep. What use is an axe, a shield, a sword these days, or the sword that Gandalf used in the movie Lord of the Rings? None, if you carry one around you’ll get arrested and even perhaps shot by the police.

These things serve to helps us try and make fantasy real. But it always remains as fantasy, or as times that have long passed, of which we can not bring back. There are people that like to re-enact battles and get all dressed up as knights in armour and fight against others but still it is not real. It gives a use or a kind of a reason or justification to have a collection of swords, armour and shields etc.


Movies – Hollywood Fantasy Factory

Some of the biggest businesses are based on the value that people give to fantasy, The movie business for example. If we all globally worked very hard on fantasy things would be realer, all these actors and actresses would get paid a more real amount and there would be less movies. Movies would be used to educate and teach and entertain but about realities and real possibilities.

This would be good, because it seems for so many people movies are education and are what educate us and set certain trends, fashions and modes of thinking and hoping within us.

In some ways, the movie business is being brought to light showing humanity that many of these actors, actresses, produces and film makers are not virtuous as the characters that appear in their movies. We give too much value to the person who only plays the noble character and not the example that the noble character left behind.

End (2101).

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...
