A Fist Fight in the Street - (3045)

It is really unpleasant to see two men fighting. Fists flying, clothes tearing, underwear embarrassingly showing, sounds of a body or bodies crashing on the hard pavement, screaming insults and threats, broken glass, onlookers gasping, heart pumping, shaky nerves, fear in the air, the high emotions of distress and aggravation of friends and family to the two persons fighting... 

Others trying to remain calm trying to be supernatural - but shaking inside...

So rare it is to find someone who is not a seasoned rioter, or jail bird, that feels totally calm before such a scene and its impressions...

I saw something like this once being a good distance away in a running car waiting at the lights and I was full of nerves.

It just seems all bad right? Also a very difficult set of impressions to deal with, impressions that carry with them a lot of energy.

In Russia - a traditional type of fist fight.
This shaking, this fear, this emotion indicates, that we, if we wish, have before us some interesting material to review.

In other words we can if we wish put our consciousness into action and transform what we saw. You know it is better to do this because otherwise we will end up creating a lot of new fear.

It is not all bad, there are really moments of freedom there. Even the bad guy in the scene may end up getting what is due to him. A fight is a karmic vehicle used to pay retribution or create a karmic cheque for future retribution. 

I say moments of freedom, because the one being attacked has the full freedom to function so to defend the temple of his Monad from harm. In such a moment all of one's physical vital, emotional, mental and causal forces concentrate and heighten, one's strength and wit peaks and in freedom one can act.

There is good and bad in everything, in a fight there is always a cause, a reason, a something to be fought for. A person fighting is putting all on the line for a cause, even if this cause be something silly. But a cause none the less important to him. 

May as they waged in the medieval times of chivalry, may the one who is noble and just be victorious. You know before a fight begins it is in the hands of the two people, once it has started it is the hands of the Law.

Seeing the duality in everything helps neutralise things. This is the first step to transform any impression.

End (3045).

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...
