Force Yourself to the One Etching Line - (3204)

There is value and results in following a continuous line. Especially when it comes to the work on ourselves.

I'll tell you why it is better to follow a line:

What normally happens is that we follow a line of work. Then we stop work along that line and forget about that work. Soon we slip backwards and a little later on we realise we have forgotten and we push forward and we get back to where we left off. If we stop following the line we are only going to come back again so why should we really stop in the first place - just keep going.

Ah but we need to learn something we tell ourselves by stopping and going backwards. Of course we need to learn something to produce an octave. How we learn is the question. Do we learn by water or by fire. Water spreads out and seeps into the earth finding subterranean ducts which it travels through to only much later unite with a larger body of water where once again it comes to see the light of day. But fire reaches upwards and learns through the upward struggle and conquers quickly owing to its energy and strength. 

Conclusion

Following a line saves us time. Why deviate when we are going to come back to it. This is how we waste time. 

We can vary how fast we follow a line of course.

As long as we continue working in the same direction of the line we are following we are going to reap very well grown fruit.

End (3204).

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...
