Acceptance and Loose Sauce Bottle Top

Acceptance and Loose Sauce Bottle Top - (3061)

Acceptance is powerful. With it we embrace reality and stop our war with reality - which only ever produces endless sufferings.

This has happened to us all - right! How angry can we get. One boss I had wanted to fire the person
who didn't replace the toilet paper roll. No one owned up to it because I think it was me...
It all comes around in the end.

Here are two examples where acceptance is useful - you are in a hurry and there is an empty toilet paper roll which you don't notice until late in the picture, and you are in a hurry again and you don't notice that the screw-top is sitting loose on a sauce bottle and you shaky hastily. You end up with much more sauce than you wanted and then the war starts - "who didn't screw the top back on, who did that?".

Acceptance is Key

Acceptance - is the key. It happened, just clean it up and it is over in less than a minute. All done! Something inside wants to wage war - accept once again. Soothe the war. 45 seconds and all happy in contrast to 20 minutes arguing and lecturing and an awful aftertaste. What do you choose?

Old Age Accepting

When our parents get older we can get angry when things like this happen because something inside of us does not want to accept that they are getting old and that they can falter in little things like this in which they never faltered in before. Once again we can overcome this by acceptance.

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...
