Work Well in Your Actual Life Not in Your Should Be Life – (2590)

Don't Touch with Reality

Even with the best intentions, we can start to stop living in our life and go astray living in what we should be doing and what we want to be doing instead of what we are actually doing. For example, we say: “I should be working on this and that in such a, such a way” and we start to chase that idea of ‘should’ and that is where our focus goes and we forget the now and the important egos that appear in us and stop working on ourselves but because we still have the ‘should’ in ourselves we still think that we are working but we are not really.

When we live in the ‘should’ we actually stop noticing our life and we don’t really come into direct grounded contact with our life and ourselves as we really are. The result of this is living on the surface and never being able to make real changes within us.


In the ‘Should’ is Pride

To live in the ‘should’ is pride and a lack of trust in our inner Divinity. Our inner Divinity sets the rhythm and didactic of our work and if we are in our life we work the didactic that is set for us. When we live in the ‘should’ we work our didactic and desires and can never quite make them fruitful.

We feel really guilty all the time because of the ‘should’. That is the gift that ‘the should’ gives us: guilt!

Conclusion

The solution is to be here settled and accepting of pour life and work our very own life intensely with no ‘shoulds’ or plans of ‘should’.

End (2590).

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...
