The Events in Life That We Take as Downfalls Can be Transformed – (2556)

We All Have Downs

We all have our low points in our life, don't we?

We pass through many high and low points in life, and in these high and low points are a part of our life. We can’t really avoid them. They will happen...

If we are in a low point we can be sure a high point will come, and if we are in a high point later on, a low point will come...

A constant cycle of up, down, up, down follows onwards and onwards in our life...

The useful thing for us, is to know that each high and each low are something valid in themselves and each have their own unique value, quality or lesson for us.

The lesson that each high and low has for us is very helpful. For us to only like the high points is for us to only allow ourselves to learn half of our life’s lessons.


The Low Points

What really I think bothers us is when one of our egos takes those low points. The ego that takes the low point seems to make the experience of the low point worse, doesn’t it?

If an ego does takes such a low point we can using our psychological work transform the way we feel.

The low point is a valid thing in itself and it comes to teach us something or help us to improve something…

If we can catch onto what we can change or improve we are already doing a marvelous thing which is transforming the low point into consciousness.

There is also a psychological lesson for us in each low point. There is the lesson as to what in our psychology brought on the low point and there is also the psychological lesson of how we can better take such ‘low’ events in 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...
