The Past Conditions Our Consciousness

The Past Conditions Our Consciousness - (2688)

If in a relationship we have suffered, it is likely that we have a' past'.

To have a' past'-means to have pain in some form, living within us.

When we have a 'past' it lives again in the present and continues to become the future.

The 'past' lives in our psyche. It either lives in us locked up in the ego, or in our memory.

The past may continue into the present and become the future due to karma.

When we have a past, it is likely it will condition our consciousness.

However, we can undo this conditioning. Using first of all intense alertness. Then later

working on the dissolution of the ego that suffered in the past.

When we transform the accumulated painful impressions we dissolve the past within us and change our present and future.

We are normally scared of the painful emotions that the past stirs up in us.

We are not scared of the person. We are only scared of what we ourselves will bring up in our psyche.

Using will and consciousness we can separate from the past. Then act and decide as well as perceive

events free of the past.

Our memory is typically not global. IT is fractioned, indicating to us that our memory is in the hands of the ego.

When the ego is dissolved. Memory remains. Memory being alive can also condition the consciousness.

End (2688).

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...
