What if One is Diagnosed with Cancer? - (2164)

Introduction

I really want to present a post on this topic.

This is so to have a clear didactic there ready within my psyche for any eventuality, whether it be for myself for any other person. Sometimes it can be a worse impact if such an eventuality is for a loved one than it is for ourselves.

I don’t have cancer nor does anyone close to me, though there have been a few close calls.

I also wish to deal a very strong blow to the “I’s” of fear and anxiety that latch onto such an issue.
As we hear about this so often in life these days I think that such a post could be useful.

AS a disclaimer: all things in balance if there is a solution then go for it. This post is more for when the case is difficult and no promises can be made.


Trust

In the times that I have felt anxious, deep down in me there was the searching for a special force, that I imagined would enter into me like a soothing wave of calm, calming the tempests of anxious emotion and burning humiliation.

I deeply felt something like this was the solution, but I didn’t know what this force could be, I didn’t have a name for it, nor did I know how to access it. I suspected clearly though, that this force was something different to the sheer force of will that I using to step through the many events that would make me anxious and fearful.

It was not until last year that I finally learnt, thanks to my marvellous missionary (not really mine – yours too) that that antidote is TRUST!

Trust is that special tranquil and calm force that moves into our psyche and appeases the worrying and frightfully stormy waves of anxiety and fear.

If we can call upon trust each time we are worried or anxious, we will learn more for ourselves about trust. What it is, why it works and how it works in us to sooth anxiety and fear.

There are many times in life in which we need trust. Receiving bad medical news as this in the title of this post, is definitely the time to call upon trust!


Understanding the Law and Applying Trust

Trust in the law is key!

Trust Your Own Karma

Can we trust the Law? Do you trust your own karma?

We don’t fully do we? We feel a little anxious when thinking about our karma don’t we? We feel that the Law is out there to get us and so we can’t trust something that is against us can we?

I want to say that the Divine Law is not ever out to get us, they just have to enact what we did against ourselves. It is always ourselves that is against ourselves. Hitting you is to hit myself a little later down the track. We are all one, what I do to you to the same as doing it to myself. Karma makes the unity that unites us all something real here in the physical world.


Our Own Karma

When it comes to our own karma we feel we don’t deserve it or that we should fight it? What if we accept it and trust it! That would include our cancer diagnosis.

We feel so humiliated to have to accept that diagnosis don’t we? “Am I so bad? Am I worth just this much to have cancer?” I hear these words echoing from the depth of the psyche.

Will of the Law is the Same as the Will of the Being

The will of the Law is also the will of our Being! If the Law wills that I have cancer it is also my Being that wills that I should have it.

Obviously, there is no effect without any cause. There is a cause to have cancer and being justice, how can my own Being go against justice and avoid paying it.

One with Karma and Trust in the Being

What eases our suffering is to accept, trust and love our Being that sends us this cancer. “I don’t have time to finish the Being’s work” may be a protest that emerges from within us, “we are not an initiate yet”, “we have not awakened our consciousness yet”, “we need more time”, yet if we trust in our Being, we trust in our Being’s decision to have brought this to us now!

This cancer has to be brought to us for a reason, if we trust in our Being we trust in his wisdom to bring this upon us now. It is for the better.

Our pride cries and wishes for it not to be so, and wishes to wage a tremendous all out war against it. To win means to be able to do all that it feels it will be missing out on. However, in doing so, pride distances ourselves from the very Being we are fighting to get close to, and it creates a war within. Resulting that in the overall feeling of distrusting our Being. We distrusted the wisdom of our Being in favour of our own. Yet who is wiser our Being or us? Does not the limited wisdom that we have come from our Being’s greater source of wisdom?


Summing Up

The main thing when something like this happens to us or another person that we love, or that we just know, is to trust. To trust the Law and the Being for having sent it. It has come because of justice, because of some unseen debt. Justice is everywhere in the universe holds true and steady, it is one thing that we can trust as sure as the law of gravity.

Trust will ease the anxiety, fear and the many feelings of loss - because there is so much left yet to do.
It is our pride that rebels against justice and does not want to accept it even when it is obviously just. But in this case, it is more difficult because we can’t see how it is just.

Trust allows us to become one with our karma. Distrust keeps us fighting and feeling ever more anxious.

When we trust our karma we feel at peace, which is something totally different to anything we could feel without it – trust that is.

What Works: Meditate Upon and Meditate Upon

To make trust work in us we have to meditate and meditate upon this understanding of accepting and trusting our Being and the Law. The more we meditate upon it the deeper it will enter into our consciousness and the more powerful it will be in us and the calmer it will make us.

End (2164).

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...
