A Base in Our Being - (2223)

No Base = Pain

When there is loss in our life, having our bases or our major investments in our own Being or at least in something that will never leave us such as our essence, our work, our own consciousness we can avoid so much emotional pain.
The key is how to do that.
Well it is done over time and certainly it takes time and is achieved by degrees. Where do we start? 
Well here is a way.

Self-Remembering

Self-remembering or better said remembering the Being is the start.

Remembering our own Being is more than being in the moment or being alert. It is to find ourselves in our own Being. The depth of this increases as one awakens more and progresses on the initiatic path.
First we must understand that we are an essence and that our essence comes from a Spirit or a Divine Being, a Monad, a spark of the great flame, which is God.

When we practice self-remembering we can make our mind quiet to see ourselves as awareness, that is us - the still awareness, the awareness that witnesses the thoughts.

To feel the energy in that awareness, to feel that that awareness is what gives us life, it is what animates our body. It is the source of our body’s warmth and vitality.

If we then focus on that awareness and with prayer direct our attention and our thoughts and feelings to it and through it up to its origin (our Being) and make with our will and heart the effort to join with, be with, to find peace with, find security with, find support from, find wisdom from, find strength from, find purpose and identity from. Then the more we do it the more it will start to gel and come to us.

Base Begins to Be Created

We create a base in our Being when we understand with our consciousness or understand deeply that we are not just a person with a family, job, position, money maker etc., but that we are an essence and our happiness, security, peace, strength, force, vitality, purpose, identity comes from our own essence.
Then if a loss appears in our life, the pain that always comes from any kind of loss will not be so bad, or at least manageable. The stronger and deeper our base is in our work, consciousness and Being the less the pains of loss will affect us.

We can prepare for losses which are so inevitable in life right now by doing such a practice. Repeat it and repeat it until it sinks in!

End (2223).

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...
