When you Catch Yourself Being Controlling there Hides a Weakness - (2138)

A General Rule

As a general rule of thumb, whenever we wish to control something, it is to cover or to avoid some error or weakness being exposed, to either others or to ourselves.

Obviously we are sacred of this weakness being exposed because we have not accepted that part of our ourselves yet.

Jealousy and Control

A jealous lady controls the unfolding of an event, perhaps to not give her man a chance to talk to lady ‘abc’ because she fears his liking for her will increase, or because she just can not deal with the powerfully negative emotions that her own jealousy evokes in her.

One Case Better than the Other

One of the above cases is better than the other! Which one is it? The one where the jealous lady controls an event so that he does not grow fonder of lady ‘abc’ is healthier. The other case where the jealous lady controls the event because she can not deal with her jealousy is graver! This can equally as well be a man. Easily just as well.


For one, such a person who controls an event to avoid their egos flaring up because they can not deal with the pain have not accepted that they have this ego of jealousy yet and they have not accepted the possibility of it being able to be eliminated and they have not accepted as yet within themselves the image of a life free of that ego. In effect they are still hiding from themselves and of course reality - he likes her what can you do about it? Rip open his heart or mind and take lady ‘abc’ out of there? Of course prevent him from not going too far for the good of everyone but to control the event is just suffering for you and if his love for you does not diminish is that worth it? When are you going to dissolve jealousy like this? Never!

Fear and Others

Behind many instances where we exert control is fear. It is the major one actually. And fear always reveals to us a weakness.

There can be greed, ambition and pride as well. Of course behind each of those three mentioned egos are profound lacks or in other words incompleteness and weakness. Any structure that is incomplete unfinished and lacking is weaker and unbalanced.

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...
