Giving Things the Right Proportion - (2203)

A Didactic to Wake Up

1.) Know that you are nothing that you have inside of yourself.

2.) Separate your attention from the subconscious.
3.) Focus your consciousness.
4.) Give everything the right proportion.
5.) Connect our consciousness to reality.
This post is about step 4.) – giving everything the right proportion.
There is really so much to see in this one step. It has really profound implications.
In fact, you will see that it is the cause of identification, and it is the precise point where we lose ground to the ego.
It is also the key to not identifying with some particular egos such as pride and lust.

What Does it Entail?

  • Taking impressions and events with the right value.
  • Taking impressions and events with the right centre of the human machine.
  • Assigning the right approach to deal with the impression and event.
  • Giving the right amount of attention to impressions and events.
  • Giving the right amount of energy to impressions and events.
  • Giving the right amount of time to impressions and events.
  • Giving the right amount of our word in the aspect of emphasis, content, vocabulary and tone.
  • The right feeling in dealing with impressions and events.
  • The right amount of effort in dealing with problems, issues, impressions and events.

Examples of what is not the Right Proportion

  • Getting identified. By definition to get identified is to give something space and time within us more than what is due or appropriate.
  • Spending hours to fix something for so little benefit.
  • Being a people pleaser.
  • Exaggerated words.
  • Taking criticism emotionally.
  • Getting angry.
  • Thinking and thinking when there is no solution.
  • Remembering the past.
  • Karmic relationships with people have as a recurrent characteristic: the wrong proportion in the majority of aspects in the relationship.
  • Giving a sensation importance.
  • Giving our dignity so much importance. Pride is about the wrong proportion. I am so much greater than you.
  • Lust is about the wrong proportion. We give fleeting beauty so much importance that what is due.
  • We expect the wrong proportion (that is over proportion) to be given to us in our favour.
  • Grovelling and being scared is to give things the wrong proportion.
  • Giving our pain so much that it stops our life.
  • Giving ourselves the wrong greater proportion when we do not co-operate with the environment. When we stand separate and do not integrate we are giving ourselves the wrong proportion of things. We are thinking we are more and better and that event is for those of a lesser quality etc.

Conclusion

All of the above examples are corrected or given the right proportion when we give things the right proportion first of all within ourselves.
Forgetting the Being, is giving things the wrong proportion. We in effect give something else the wrong proportion, that is more time, energy, attention than what is due to it.
In essence giving things the right proportion is about knowing objectively or in the light of the Being what is of higher value and then giving that the due importance.
End (2203).

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...
