Death and Birth - (2975)

The death of a person is always a little or a lot unsettling. Every death is a mystery, we ask ourselves: why now, why in that way, why that suffering, why that condition? 

We are so powerless to stop death. As much as we want to stop or delay death, the more we are shown that we must resign to it. We must accept it as we are not beyond death our very own selves. There are higher powers that are willing it to be this way.

Those powers why do they will it this way? The teachings tell us that it is the Divine Law that is behind all happenings and goings on in life. The values of past actions are summed up and our destiny calculated, and every step of life follows the tracks of destiny . 

When a person is dying, we are witnessing their life, their process. It is our love to accept it and embrace it as a part of the mystery of their life.


Both birth and death are a mystery. The when, the how and the why.

Death happens to everyone as soon as they are born. We are just to send our love, and yearn that as in life their Divine Mother protected and guided them, so their Divine Mother will do the same in death.

We feel deeply sorry for the person who is dying, maybe because deep down we feel that they are going to be mistreated or face some ill-fate in the world of the dead. How do we know that this is so. We have all come from the world of the dead and we are all ok.

To die physically is a Law that we all, no matter how great in life, have to face and comply with.

A life just gone becomes now a past life. With all merits and values summed up and transferred into creative potential, waiting to form the next life.

End (2975).

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...
