Kill Time to Live in Eternity Now - (2217)

We Have Time in Our Mind

Do you know that in reality, time as we know it or conceive it as seconds, minutes and hours does not exist.

This may seem crazy but it is true. It is true because time as seconds, minutes and hours does appear written in the sky or on the Earth or in the waves of the ocean. It only appears in our minds and on our clocks, watches, phones, tablets, computers and other numerous man-made devices. There is simply no natural source of time.

Basically though to live in eternity we have to kill time in our mind. Because how on Earth are we going to live in eternity when we still have time in our mind?

Killing time is a matter of investigation and waking up to a reality, that time does not exist.

The ego master Samuel says is time and memory and lives in time.

A Mental Contruction

Time as we follow it here on Earth is our own mental construction. We see a cycle, where an event repeats, and we divide the space in between the repetition of the event into seconds, minutes, hours, and we call that time. But what there is really is only an event repeating. That is the only reality - an event repeating itself, like a sunrise or a sunset.


Time is Relative

Time is also relative, what is a year here on Earth is different for the other planets. The duration that it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun is 365 Earth days where a day is the duration that it takes the Earth to complete one revolution on its axis. Other planets rotate quicker or slower on their own axis and other planets may take more time to orbit the sun.

What We Have in Our Life is Events Flowing and Processing Themselves - Not Time

So what we have really and only in our life is the flow of events and each event has a certain duration. This duration is set according the way the event fits into the whole in relation to other happenings.  

All that we can do is to speed up or slow down the way the events process themselves and flow from one event to the next.

What we only ever really and truly have is the the moment. That is why we must live in the moment, because that is all we have.

You know with our memory, we only remember moments and not days.


Find Ourselves in the Moment

We are always trying to find time for ourselves. As if it is only when we have time to ourselves that we can be ourselves and we can finally do what we want and relax not being in front of others.

But this is wrong, we are always ourselves and we must be ourselves in each moment not in special time periods, when we are alone for example.

Kill Time Within

So if we work on ourselves understanding that about time, that it does not exist and all that we have are moments, states of consciousness and the flow of events with a pre-determined duration. We can make crumble a lot of egoical things within us, as soon we recognise this that there is no time. But only, states of consciousness and the flow and process of events is what there is.

Living every moment helps us to kill time in our psychology. 

Planning

When we plan we are planning in the moment a future flow of events and we assign some duration to the process of each event, which we think should take this or that time in minutes, hours, days etc. As soon as a plan is set, we just forget live in the moment and try and make the plan come true.

End (2216).

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...
