Two Masters – A Difficult Situation – (2543)

Introduction

Sometimes this happens in life, we have two bosses, two leaders, two people giving instructions, two forces, two influences, two parents, etc. This is a bit of a pain especially when the instructions and priorities from each boss differ.

The worst thing though is when we have two bosses within us. Now this situation is more painful then having two external bosses, leaders, influences etc.

The Trouble

The trouble is the two different directions you are thrown in. They contradict and clash against each other and when you try to fulfill both dictates, what happens to you is that you always get terribly burnt out. Exactly as if you were a candle and you were being burnt at both ends. There will come a moment when you burn out or come very close to burning out, and ever so quickly too (a candle burning at both ends burns out doubly as quick - right) quicker than if you just followed one boss!


Master at the End of the Day

The best situation is to have only one boss. Both outside and inside. But more inside. The easy way to find your boss is to see who will be your boss at the end of the day.

For example, at work, we have our boss and then we have the client. At the end of the day our boss is our boss not the client. So, to keep our job and keep being paid and as long as everything is ethical we should choose our boss as our boss and forget about the client as being our boss.

So then inside of you who is your boss at the end of the day? Obviously, it is your Being! You are here because of your Being and when you go to the Absolute all that there will be for you is your Being! So we have to chose our Being, that is what makes sense! Life as our boss - forget it! Even more – two bosses forget that! Just one boss – the Being who teaches you to work!

End (2543).

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...
