Love for the Being - (2410)

Introduction

This topic is really of highest importance.

Understanding it and really doing it, that is loving our own Being, is a remedy to so many problems within ourselves, and therefore outside of ourselves.

It is the remedy for so many egos. Especially the three selves (self-love, self-compassion and self-importance).

How I ask, can we work so hard and make so many sacrifices for something that we don’t love? So we already love our Being but we can make that love more conscious and then that is how it will grow more and transform us more.

Basically, the lesson that learnt from the retreat was to take the initiative and love the Being ourselves right now!


How to Love

What I learnt from the retreat is that the love that we use to love our inner Being is the love that we already have within us. It is the same love that we love a person, a cause or an activity with.

We shouldn’t be at a loss here, because we all love something and we just need to move that love towards our inner Being. How we do that we already know how, we just have to start to do it.

The retreat taught me that when we love we want the best for that which we love. We want that which we love to not suffer and we want that which we love to grow and be more and more of itself and more and more content of itself and in itself.

Love Reciprocity

When we love our Being it is the Being really in the depth of things, actually loving Itself. We here take the love for our Being in our heart and send it up to the Being. Then the Being absorbs parts of that love that are of the same nature as it. Then having received love from us, It radiates that love back down to us, and a renewed love of a different quality surges up from deep within us. This love may feel more powerful, of a different quality, more spiritual, more extensive, more embracing, more universal…but overall somehow different and that is how you know it is moving in you.

The main thing is that this love loves and we are partaking of that love and the need for love or the feeling of lacking love goes.

End (2410).

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...
