Serenity – (2302)

Yet Another Precious Value

There within our essence is a value which we call serenity. In fact serenity is something that is within our Being. Our Being among many other vibrations, such as force, can emanate a profound serenity.
If we are still internally. If our mind is quiet we can begin to enter into the serenity that resides within.
This serenity is deeply nourishing and renewing for our soul and for our mind and body.
Serenity is also a formidable tool to combat any “I” as well as the rebellious mind.

Bons of Tibet

Master Samael in 1976, Mexico during an informal talk with some students spoke about the Bons of Tibet. He related that when a candidate was ready for initiation they would perform a special magical ritual which materialised the various “I’s” of the person. He said that the “I’s” of the person torture and end up killing the poor person, and very few are the ones that survive this ordeal.
Master Samael to conclude his intervention about the Bons, said that the key to pass through this ordeal is serenity.

Serenity when Facing the “I”

When we practice being serene we can really feel that serenity is a tremendous tool to help us when facing any “I” within ourselves as well as when we are embroiled in difficult circumstances.
When an ego bothers us, it is serenity that creates a buffer in us between our free essence and the ego. The more serene we are the greater this buffer is.
When serene we can see the thoughts arising and the peaceful inertia present in serenity keeps us in our position of being an observer.
The key for separation and for so many tumultuous circumstances of life is serenity. It has many of the characteristics of the element of earth in it, such as inertia which you may have seen in the paragraphs above.

Imagine a Great Lake

Imagine a very still large body of water, such as a great lake. Be like that serene lake. Embrace the inertia of that serenity that impedes from identifying with thoughts or leaving our calm state.
It is so helpful to us to cultivate serenity.
We can cultivate it at any moment in life. Actually we cultivate it much more efficiently while facing the various bothering, difficult and disturbing circumstances of life. We too can practice in meditation.
To conclude when there is separation from the mind or the “I” there is serenity.
Psychological separation, psychological inertia and calmness go hand in hand with serenity.
End (2302).

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...
