The Sentimental Link - (3240)

Many Of

We all have some of these sentimental links alive within us... It is a tricky thing to decide what to do with them...

Sometimes they appear too tricky to work on, so we end ignoring them - letting them stay there as they are.

Often we feel very confused as how to work on them when we contemplate working on them.

We have many sentimental links already established, especially with family, friends, work colleagues  etc.

Influence Of

These sentimental links can sway many of our decisions and influence much of our life.

We feel like a kind of love through them, but through them we also hurt quite a bit. 

In general anything that hurts us, the work would tell us to inquire into.

Often we find sentimental links lead us into action that is not so practical. Or they stop us from being practical.

First Measure of Action

What we can do though as first measure, is become very aware of the new sentimental links that we can create.

If we become aware of one being created we can know a lot more about them and knowing more about them will serve as orientation on how to work the existing sentimental links we have.

It is my humble opinion that working the sentimental links that we have is best done this way. Unless life and its circumstance by a force outside of our control causes us to work on them, like a relationship break down or death in the family or friends etc.

Observe 

When we observe a sentimental link being created we see that there are some elements that get introduced that should not be there.

These elements come from us.

Even we may find that something within us warns us and tells us that we don't really need to create a sentimental link with hat person or thing.

The sentimental links are of the subconscious because we can't tell the person - "I am feeling a bit sentimental towards you". They would say "what!" so we keep it to ourselves in our subconscious.

Usually if we have a lack or a need or just bad habits we add these elements into the relationship and then the link begins. 

When they suffer we suffer, when they are happy with us we are happy. When they are not happy with us we are not happy.

A sentimental link is something of a dependence...

We link a part of our psychology to another for a reason to supply something...

We may link our image to another, we may link our affections, we may link our sense of security, we may link our ability to care for ourselves, we may link the sense that another needs us etc. etc.

Conclusion

I think that by being very aware to not create new sentimental links, we can learn about them to such an extent, that we can dissolve the ones that we have, with the end goal of making those relationships much better.

End (3240).

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...
