Lemon Experiment – Power of Imagination - (2211)

Imagine This

Imagine you have in your right hand a freshly picked lemon. It is a beautiful specimen of a lemon. Wonderfully aromatic, you smell fresh citrus with a hint of the sweet jasmine like scent of lemon blossoms. It is firm to the feel and as you dig a small part of your thumb finger nail into its skin it releases a little of the fragrant oil.

You then take the lemon and cut it in half and straight away you sense the acidity of the juices that flow from the sliced lemon.

Then taking one half in your right hand you unreservedly bight into it!


What Did You Feel?

We most likely may have winced. Made some sort of an expression on our face and we may have even vocalised that yah expression out loud.

We could have even felt our teeth getting sensitive anticipating the acidic juices or our stomach tensing and bracing itself for the impact of receiving the sharply acidic bits of lemon flesh.

All the while there is no lemon, it was all just in our imagination. Yet the imagination is so powerful that it can provoke a lot of physiological symptoms.

The Why of the Many Strange Things We Feel

This explains the many strange things that we feel when we are identified with an ego. The dizziness, the momentary shifts in our level of sight, the pangs of pain, the aches, the fatigue, the temporary weakness, the momentary paralysis of functions, toilet impulses etc. etc.  

When an ego is bothered it uses our sub-imagination within our subconscious to project all sorts of things and our system reacts to this as if it were real and this has a very definite effect on our body, which in turn makes us to feel so many strange things, in our muscles, stomach, head, bones and all over sometimes.

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...
