Jealousy is about Quantifying or Qualifying Love – (2581)

Fall into Trouble

The trick with floating above the many jealous “I’s” that we have is to know that we are loved and that we love the person and most importantly to rest in that - DO NOT TRY TO QUANTIFY OR QUALIFY LOVE!

As soon as we go to try to qualify or quantify the love that the person has for us, we fall into lots of pain.

Pain arises because to try to qualify or quantify love is to fall into relativity and duality, and relativity  and duality (comparison) only brings pain. The consciousness is not pain because it is outside of relativity and duality.

We try to qualify or quantify pain because of fear. The mind looks for a way to relieve the fear and it can only do it through relativity. It has to try and compare love.


When the comparison measure results in our favour the mind is relieved and jealousy subsides. When the comparison result is not in our favour, jealousy goes into action, complaining, protesting and it engages all the various strategies that I wrote about in a previous post – which function all trying to make the comparison result come into our favour again.

Conclusion

We must allow our consciousness to relieve, cool down, assure, pacify or cause our whole psychology to be at peace. This comes to us when we know that we are loved and that we love and that we understand that the best thing to do is rest in that and not compare.

End (2581).

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...
