A Tribute to John DeMarco - (2970)

As some of you know a very good man and a really good missionary - John DeMarco passed away in the early hours of Tuesday morning on March the 26th. 

John really went through a lot for more than a year. Several lengthy surgeries, numerous treatments and a lot of really tough side effects to deal with. I often imagined how he could have dealt with that. I can't stand feeling nausea for even few minutes. Really, no can doubt that he showed great courage and endurance in the last years of his life. I never heard news of him, complaining or losing the plot or anything like that.   

I remember John and Janice doing the missionary course in Perth in the year 2010 to 2011. I have fond memories of John giving his lectures, he liked to deliver a lot of info in a very efficient (speedy) way. So when John would step up to give his talk, we would take a sigh of relief as we knew it would be good, to the point and not run over time. He always had a lot of  examples and information to give, which he gave so freely and in a very graceful and graceful ‘particular to him’ way. I would honestly still like to receive a talk from him. Well, it can't be now, but many of us have a good memory of his talks, and that brings a hearty smile to one.


Anyone who does a missionary course to work for the spiritual benefit of humanity is wonderful!

To become a missionary and to work as one, holds much sacrifice. That is so rare and so admirable! Who these days does that? You will certainly not find that in the next house down the road.

There is lots of love in a person who does that. There is the essence of love pulsating within the mind and heart of the person. This in a person is a gift to humanity. So John's passing is a loss for humanity, a loss as a husband to Janice, as a missionary, as a friend to his many friends and as a wonderful human being that working in the three factors for many years benefited invisibly the planet and all human beings whom did not know him.

So many times John and Janice gave their beautiful good will in the way of attendance and support to the retreats held in Perth and the retreat was made better for it. How can one replay such beautiful good will, and such effort to come from so far - Saratoga to Perth. Even at the airport they were so 

I wish from the bottom of my heart that all the wonderful things of John sum up and go to him to deliver him into the hands of his Divine Mother where he as essence, as soul will be completely looked after, protected, nourished and favourably set up for the chance to complete his work of the full development of his soul. Certainly we can trust in that as that is the way that things work and for sure John must have cleared much of his debts that were held in the invisible balance, that from here we can not see or hear.

God Speed John! 

End (2970).

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...
