Scared of Snakes and Spiders

Scared of Snakes and Spiders - (2702)

No Coincidence

Human beings are typically scared of snakes and spiders. I am not sure why of spiders, well maybe I do understand but we'll tackle that later...

Back to snakes. Certainly within myself I feel some uneasiness moving within my centres when close to a snake, even when it is in a glass cabinet.

In contrast to this there are people who love snakes and even have many of them as pets. In such cases these people have broken the associations with something deeper within themselves. They have separated the animal with what it subconsciously reminds them of... They see and like the animal and no longer feel the danger that it is associated with.

Anyway that deep fear of snakes comes from our remote ancestry or our very remote past.

A snake or a serpent represents the sexual force within us, and subconsciously we know this but we are not aware of this in our conscious layers. Of course we can associate a snake with the consequences of the sexual fall. With those consequences being much suffering.

The serpent represents the power and potency of the sexual force as well its perils if not used carefully, and all this is represented and associated within the one creature.

As for spiders, their sticky and complex web of entrapment reminds us of the mind and the dangers that ill mental health can bring to our lives.

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...
