Fire Has Its Principles by Which We Can Prepare for It – (2494)

Fire Has Its Principles

When we spend a lot of time lighting fires in your home’s fire place, you can, if you are observant enough, see that physical fire has its principles.

Basically, fire warms, sets alight, covers, devours, purifies, transforms, liberates and ascends.

We understand that we need the fire, that is we need to ignite the fire in us, the fire of Kundalini, and that we also need to operate as fire, that is liberate, purify and transform ourselves.

The purpose of this post is to show ourselves how by studying fire we can know how we must prepare ourselves to receive it.


Some Principles

1. Provision of a Spark

2. Spark Ignites the Volatile

3. Heating Up and Drying Out of the Less Volatile and Dense Matter

4. Breathe - Air Flow

5. Triangular Geometry

6. Provision of Space for Expansion

Our Preparation

We can appreciate that for any fire to be lit, there has to be preparation. There must be some volatile material of enough quantity that will warm up, dry out and cause the fire from the volatile to jump to the more dense material. Once the heavy wood is alight then the fire has established itself.

All of this can be translated into our experience as human beings.

The volatile quantity is our essence and its love for the work for the Real Being in us. Obviously, we must have a good and stable amount of responsible essence.

What warms the dense matter in us is definition. We must be defined for the work for our Being, that is our life must already be defined to work for our Being and the biggest part of that definition is that we have defined our sexuality to be that of the sexuality of the Being – the Alchemy.

The whitening and yellowing of the waters in the practice of Alchemy is to warm up the mercury to be ready to receive the fire.

Conclusion

The fire can not be received when there is a lack of definition, i.e. where there is no warmth. Where there is no love for the essence or for the Being. Where there is definition there is a stable warmth.

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...
