Walking, Walking and Walking… (2454)

From One Life to the Next

Oh God! What happened after we fell in the past? We walked, and walked and walked from one life to the next...

Always looking for something…

Looking for precisely that which we had lost, but alas, we were not even able to remember what it was that we had lost…

Such is the cup of the forgetfulness...

Our immortal and Divine inner Being, was what we had left behind for some reason…

So we walked and walked, travelled and travelled, drifted and drifted as a kind of consolation hoping that our travelling would take us to encounter that which we had lost. Perhaps some new and kind fortune would befall us and miraculously bestowing upon us what we had lost.

Perhaps we hoped to encounter a mysterious old sage, a temple, a mysterious cave, the magic of the mountains, oceans and forests… 


But karma would not have it that way…

And so even now we can catch ourselves walking; feeling that solitude of 'being without' – this is a remembrance and also a sign that we are still lacking much of what we had left behind.

This 'being without' can only be filled by that which we had fallen away from: our inner Divine and Immortal Being.

In our walking and walking we feel that our movement is like progress and even though it clears our head, exercises our body, orders our mind, we still deeply yearn for that which we lack…

Though thanks to Gnosis we now know what it is that we deeply lack…

Fellow Men

The many fellow men and women who live on the streets walk continuously, travelling and drifting from one spot to the next, with all their possessions in a shopping trolley or a bundle, immersed in a state of restlessness and constant searching for the North of their inner compass, which alas, can only arise from inside of one, from the Inner Being, once of course the Lords of the Law allow it.

Those even though they lack their inner Being, and are relatively on good terms with their fellow man and have their karmic accounts in relatively good order, enjoy some peace in their interior, and are safe and happy in their homes at night while some of their fellow men on the streets wonder from one spot to the next looking for something... never finding it, except for trouble that distracts them from their restlessness, the restlessness of the soul that is, that can not be soothed until it receives the balm of that which it had lost contact with…

The Walking can Stop and the Working Start

Once we know what we are really yearning for deep down - our inner Being - and we understand that it is only our inner Being that can fill that deep yearning, we can stop walking and start working.

But it is good still to walk for our health and to order the mind... but no longer thinking we are going to find something that we in Gnosis already have...

End (2454).

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...
