Under a Magnificent Night Sky in the Australian Desert - (2105)

The Night Sky - A Special Impression for the Essence

When you find yourself under a magnificent night sky, it is a special opportunity not to let it pass us bye.

So seldom do we city dwellers ever look up! Well it is a little difficult with so much background light that when we do look up we don't see much.

But when we are in the country with no light pollution, looking up it is the most magnificent impression, that goes straight to the essence.

When we look up we see the unfathomable vastness, the mystery, the origin, the most remote antiquity, God, the Absolute, the intense yearning to know our Being as a citizen of the vast cosmos we see above us..., the pettiness of our problems, the shortness of life...

I don't think any human being with essence would not feel awe and wonder before such a night sky.

Looking up is such a beneficial natural practice, it is something that feeds the essence, renews our perspective, strengthens our yearning, connect ts us in a way to God to our origin, puts in contact for a brief moment with our origin, widens our consciousness and expands our heart...

Took Advantage

Look below, how terrific, a fellow Gnostic brother and sister took really good advantage of such a night sky camping out in the Australasian desert doing a marvellous practice of invocation to the cosmos.

Thanks to K&T for the photo and for the inspiration.

Even if we can not be out under a desert night sky, we have our imagination and we can use it and generate a similar effect, of course not as intense but not bad.

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...
