First Chamber Lectures - All the Areas to Awaken In

First Chamber Lectures - All the Areas to Awaken In - (2950)

We awaken in areas.

There are people very awake and balanced in certain areas of life, but they are unbalanced, out of wack and unaware in other areas of life.

Usually when there is a big ego, we are quite asleep, unbalanced (out of wack) in that areas of life. A person has a rather large "I" of lust means that person is rather asleep in that area.

There are many areas for us to awaken in. The first chamber lectures area essentially areas for us to awaken to.

People are totally unaware of the Law of Karma. So we have to wake up to it. People are mostly unaware of the power of the word, so we must wake up to it. People are aware that we have an essence, a personality and many "I's", people are unaware about life and death so we must awaken to those mysteries, people are unaware of cosmic laws such as return and recurrence so we must wake up to those laws etc.etc.

Of course, by dissolving the ego we begin to wake up in these areas an acquire balance in those areas. But first comes a kind of incipient awakening into those areas and we see that we must dissolve the ego and as we do our awakening in those areas deepen and we arrive closer and closer to balance in those areas.

End (2950).

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...
