'For the Few' when not Understood Well

'For the Few' when not Understood Well - (3181)

'For the few', when not understood well creates some ideas in a person that are not very helpful for the work on themselves.

We can think that the spiritual work is too hard for us, that it is for certain others. That we are too weak, not spiritually cultured enough, not intelligent enough or just not capable. We may think that the work is very elitist.

We then also think that it is not for others as well and that others will not succeed it either. We usually export our believes and impose them on others.

Well it is all relative...

For the few is to be understood relatively and not taken to extremes where we think that we are not capable.

If we think we are not capable we don't really try with enough vigour and heart to break through. Our mind blocks our heart. The heart of everyone is powerful and everyone's heart can move the Law.

It is meant in the sense that it is not for the masses... But for a relative few - that is a small percentage of the large number in the masses.

On other planets everyone works for the self-realization and gets it. So the 'for the few' does not really apply for those planets.

Everyone has an essence and a Being and so really anyone can do the work. It is a natural function of anyone's own essence and consciousness.If someone does not get it today they will get it at some point in the future.

Also what stops us from succeeding in the work has been created by ourselves anyway. All of our karma and all of our egos are our very own creation. And we think that we can not undo what we have created - this does not make sense really - but if someone created something that same someone can un-create it.

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...
