A Common Sense Procedure for Cleaning Out the Mind

A Common Sense Procedure for Cleaning Out the Mind - (2218)

Taken from the Home

Imagine you decide to clean out one of your messy desk drawers. These would the general steps that you would take right:

1. Lay out the contents of the drawer on a table.
2. Organize the contents into categories, such as: 'keep' and 'don't keep' and 'move somewhere else'.
3. Sift the contents into the three above categories.
4. Bin the 'don't keep' contents.
5. Move the 'move somewhere else' contents to somewhere else.
6. Put the 'keep' contents back into the drawer.

Cleaning out our mind is very similar!

Cleaning out the Mind

A very good way to work on our own mind, cleaning out all the junk that we have accumulated is to follow the same procedure as when we clean out one of our messy drawers.

1. Survey the contents - use observation of the mind in meditation.

2. Organise the contents - discern in meditation what is to be discarded and what can stay.

3. Analyse and comprehend the 'to be discarded' contents so to get the light.

4, Discard with KRIM and the Divine Mother.

Conclusion

See, Organise, Analyse, Discard (SOAD).

Yes, our mind like our house accumulates a lot of junk and just like our house, we must clean our mind out. The cleaner and more organised our house is the easier and better it is to live in it. This is exactly the case for our mind. Though I would spend more time cleaning out my mind then my house. But for sure I would not live in a mess.

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...
