People Have the Right to Humiliate Us - (2471)

Seems Like they Shouldn't, but Reality Says Otherwise

We have to face it, people have the right to humiliate and disrespect us. People can humiliate and disrespect us, there is nothing stopping them, and when they think that it is needed they certainly do. Even we have humiliated and disrespected others in the past, and we felt justified in doing it. So what ca we say about others?

We Have the Right to Not Feel Humiliated and Disrespected

The very interesting thing is that we have a right internally that we seldom exercise. We just stupidly exercise the right to humiliate back.

We have the right within us to not allow ourselves to feel what is implied or expected of us to feel i.e. subdued, worried, sad etc. we have the psychological right to feel as we wish. 

Of course if we are aware of this right and we can separate from the egos that force us to feel humiliated and disrespected who would choose to feel humiliated and disrespected. Well I wouldn't would you?

Conclusion

The key here is to not disrespect ourselves or humiliate ourselves. That is where the real disrespect and humiliation happens. It is hopeless, totally hopeless fighting to get others to respect us. We though don't have to be around people that disrespect us and humiliate us, we can choose a different kind of company, but always knowing that the real right is internal.

End (2471).

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...
