Create a Fortified Sanctuary - (2998)

This is something useful. Through practices and discipline create a sanctuary for yourself, where you can isolate yourself from impressions, where you can quieten the worries, the bothersome thoughts, quell the inferior emotions...

Your fortified sanctuary upon entering and spending time there allows or facilitates you going deep inside yourself. It is a place or a time where you can revitalise and draw much needed wisdom and solace.

Cross the bridge into your sanctuary and leave behind all cares, worries, thoughts
of life and enter into peace within yourself to touch your light to search, to find, 
to know, to comprehend, to renew, to strengthen, to love... 
When you have this sanctuary created you can tell yourself when experiencing a difficult moment, "it doesn't matter, I'll be in my sanctuary soon and all will be fine, I will relax, become quiet, feel well, draw wisdom and breathe solace, and I will solve everything".

This sanctuary could just be practising meditation at a certain time of the day where you feel most relaxed, at peace, united, strong etc. Or it could be in a room of the house that you enter and close the door behind you, or it could be waking up very early in the morning and going to the beach or a park and meditating, praying and walking mindfully before the sun has risen. It could be while driving to work alone in your car even, or an hour alone in your room before going to work, or at work in the stairwell during break.

The thing is that you consecrate that space and time as your fortified sanctuary. This is what makes the difference. This is what really makes it different and magic for you.

End (2998).

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...
