Hits for Free - (2936)

I think we can all cope with people who may hit our personality when there is just reason for it. That is, we did or said something that was inconvenient or out of place.

What pride has so much difficulty with, is when we are hit for 'free'. And certainly there are people around that like to hit for free. Obviously the "I" of pride will not like these people and will harbour some resentment towards them. But we may not know that our "I" of pride is upset at this characteristic of the person.

Why resentment? Because a psychological debt has been created and that debt has not been transformed within us yet. We still feel unfairly treated by that person. Remember though, what each person considers fair is relative and we all have our own standards and views of what 'fair' is.

Anyway, back to that type of person. When we know why such and such a person bothers our pride so much, we can start to transform things and enjoy life again.

Certainly it is worth looking into that feature of being delivered 'hits for free'. Such a feature can really upset the "I's" of pride. Pride says: "what right do they have", 'how unfair", "how nasty", 'that is not done around here", "lack of respect", "I bet they would not like that being done to them" "Who do they think they are?" etc.

We have to be able to transform everything...If not we are not complete we are not individuals, we depend on others to compensate ourselves, where we can do that for ourselves.

End (2936).

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...
