Resort to the Values of Pardon and Forgiveness

Resort to the Values of Pardon and Forgiveness - (2789)

When our psychological work seems not to be healing some of the hurt from the past and when we remember the past and we still feel hurt, upset, resentful and perhaps angry, we have to resort to using forgiveness and pardon.

Our Intimate Christ is the one within us that marvelously manages those values.

It makes sense then that we should invoke him and pray to Him for Him to help us to forgive.

As He the Intimate Christ pardons us for our egos by dissolving them, He too can help us to pardon to erase our psychological debts.

To further heal those wounds from the past, we finally understand that we have to forgive and pardon.

When what happened just seemed to be so unfair, so 'uncalled for', and within us there seems to be no way that we can see it as fair, we must resort to forgiveness and pardon to make it fair within us. As we forgive we set ourselves free, we give ourselves some peace and some freedom. But importantly - balance. Forgiveness balances the scales.

Understanding that everything happens for a reason and if we can't see a reason it must be that we did something in the 'way back' past to warrant it, helps but still the memories are painful and the resentment lives in us, we need to resort to forgiveness and pardon.

We must use these values to right the scale within us once again.

Forgiveness starts when we imagine the person and we say to them "I forgive you", then we pause, then we wait looking deeply inward for the gruff voices of the subconscious to rise up.

To our surprise instead of protest we may feel peace and sigh a sigh of relief!

We could have been working on resentment for a long time now without ever haven forgiven.

But we must continue working until we really know it is definitively healed.

End (2789).

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...
