People Don’t Change They Just Accommodate Themselves to New Circumstances - (2178)

Rare it is that People Change Even when their Life Changes

It is not so often that people change. Change only comes about voluntarily so what people do when their physical circumstances change, like getting married for example, they slowly accommodate their own old ways into their married life. 

The friendly single guy that promises to his 'flat mates' to work so to financially contribute to the rent and general living costs, yet underneath deliberately orchestrates a way to bludge off of his friends so in the end he does not have to work, will continue to be the same even when he marries.

His egos of pride and selfishness, that think that he is more or better than his friends, in the sense that it is them that should work and not him, and his selfish protective egos that keep himself healthy and pretty while his friends work and tire themselves when getting married will do the same. They will promise or lie again and find a way to not have to work, and once again bludge off of another person, exasperating the other person and tiring out the other person.

When such a person marries, that is his life circumstance change, will promise the parents of his betrothed to work, but within a short time will intelligently manage within the new circumstances  to return to his old ways after making an appearance of an effort to be different, but all the while the egos of pride and selfishness remain in control with a plan to return back to their old ways.

Many Examples

There are so many examples of this. When migrants arrive on foreign land, they soon accommodate and establish ‘little Italy”, china town, “little Lebanon’ etc. etc. Wherever we go we carry our egos and our problems with us, and no matter how many times we change our location, environment or circumstances we tend to return to the old ways of the ego after performing some kind of reaccommodating procedure. A leopard does not change his spots so easily.


Conclusion

Extracting the light from the subconscious is not so easy and one thing that we must find and unearth is the plan of the ego to always return to its old ways.

When one renounces to the plan of the ego to always accommodate itself one can make some true head way in changing and in dissolving it.

End (2178).

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...
