Some lessons Learnt from Around the Home - (2198)

Dedication, Loyalty and Constancy Pay

Even though we already have a cat, this very constant and determined female cat for more than three years appeared at the back door meowing every morning and night. It has been relentless, everyday it has appeared there until eventually after many efforts to get rid of it, its loyalty and persistence in the face of constant rejection won our hearts and now days she gets fed more than she can eat everyday and receiving some kind words a scratch and pat or two.

The same applies for us, the qualities of dedication, constancy and loyalty open doors that to us were previously closed.

If a cat can do this with a power superior to it then we too can do the same with the Masters and the Being.


Happy Garden is Good for Mental Healing and Special for Runes and Meditation

Just that plants themselves exude a kind of radiation that is happy. Such radiations are so helpful for our mind and emotion to be in. To breather in air close to these happy plants is also very beneficial as that air is higher in prana.

You can make your plants happy giving them some attention, water and nutrients and they will repay you kindly with that special radiation of happiness.


Cats Have Self-Respect

Cats have their self-respect. They clean themselves, keep themselves in top condition and if they need help they will ask for it. Feed me they say, brush me they also say.

Cross their line of self-respect and they will let you know about it. First warning a meow, the second a growl and the third a good scratch.

We lack self-respect, we neglect ourselves, feed ourselves with rotten impressions, don’t ask for help when needed and allow people to go to far with us.


An Empty Couch in Excellent Condition in Front of the TV is a Good Sign

Why because that means you are not watching too much TV and you are doing other more productive things.


The Effects are not Always Obvious

This is cat food, yet if the cat does not eat it the local bob-tail goanna and some birds, namely the pigeons and the crows roll in for a snack. Then of course that has its consequences.

The crows call their mates and in doing so they make a racket in the process and drop bombs all over the patio and the roof of the neighbour’s. The neighbour hates the crow’s screeching away and plus their Italian and they are suspicious with anything that is black.

The pigeons when the crows are full and have flown away, do the same.

What at first seemed to be a good solution to do with the food that the cat doesn’t eat turned into problem. Some solutions can turn into problems forming a chain of problem-solution then problem then solution and so on.


Everything Needs Exercising and Results Need Discipline

If you don’t exercise things atrophy. The results of one session of exercise is never permanent. ION a week or two what was gained is lost. Only constancy triumphs over the constant atrophy of all things.
The vehicle of constancy is discipline.

This lesson applies to everything in life, most especially our spiritual work! More than ever actually!


Hit the Unpleasant While Hot

Leaving the washing of dishes until the morning is always harder to do then right after dinner.

Even if the lady of the house says: “Don’t worry about them I’ll do them tomorrow.”, even she does not want to wake up to dirty dishes. No one does.

The lesson is even though our mind says it will be easier to delaying the unpleasant the in reality the unpleasant is best dealt with in the moment that flows to it (i.e. after dinner) and not afterwards (i.e. the morning after).


A Light-Hearted Post

That was just a light hearted post to have some fun and to illustrate how we can if we observe and think only a little deeper than normal, how the small details of our life can teach us something.

It has been said: “that after meditating on a wall the Buddha stood up enlightened”. What does a wall have to offer? Well that is the beauty of the small details, to the consciousness they hide some significant insight.

End (2198).

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...
