The Need to Forgive

The Need to Forgive – (2561)

It is for ourselves that we need to forgive. It is good for the other too that we forgive, and it is something of a gentle and kind gesture of the heart that warms the other, but more than anything else, it heals and releases us.

Our heart deep down wants to forgive and love. That is its nature to do so. We deeply want to accept and express our nature.

When we are at odds with another for not loving as we would have wished, it is our turn to love and forgive and in doing so we heal and renew our love.

Perhaps we are upset because another did not love us as we wanted or did not love someone related to us, such as our son, our daughter, our mother, a friend. It is not their job really to love, but it is our job to love them, and it turns out that when we are upset at them for not loving our son or daughter, we have stopped loving them as well and we may even love less our son and daughter because the other does not love them.

It is a situation where we lose love trying to get love. We wish that another would love our son and daughter more, and in doing so we end up damaging the love we have. We love less the other person and that is fading of our love.

May we accept that the other does not love as we would have liked and keep our love intact embracing both the other as well as our son and daughter.

To forgive is to care for our love, because our love is a great treasure to us. I wonder how can we love our Being so much and not forgive and love our fellow man.

End (2561).

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...
