Do We Need Desires?

Do We Need Desires? – (2582)

Thee Good Desires

We have desires, all sorts, yes we know, but there desires that we often ignore are those that are about us doing this or that for our apparent good.

These desires appear to be in place to improve our life but actually embitter our life and make our life much more stressful. Because we apply pressure on ourselves and we live life in the should and never being able to fulfill to should.

As a result we start to become disconnected from our life and we start to no live in our life. We live in the future and in frustration and in disappointment.

Those desires stop us from accepting and trusting our life. We think that we must be pushing ahead with things. Yes we can be but within what our very own precious life gives to us from moment to moment.

Accept and Trust

To accept and trust our life is conquer a bit of humility and some trust in our very own inner Being. Because it is our very own inner Being that sets up the didactic of learning in our life.

So much of what we think that we need for our own good, we don’t need at all. What we need our inner Being sets up for us to go through, to study, to learn, to experience etc.

If the impulses that surge in us are possible and achievable they can be done, and perhaps they have come to us as a message from our inner Being.

Definitely with these desires cleared away from our system we can be at more peace and live more in our actual and real life. Rather in the life that we desire and is currently not our life.

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...
