Who are You? - So Valuable to Know - (3261)

The standard answer is an essence, consciousness etc.

After-all these are only words...

The living experience of them is what allows us to know and is what really changes our life.

To know oneself as nothing is the start...

To know oneself as nothing, where that nothing is the consciousness filling space within you, void of any identity is the start...

That nothing is the consciousness itself being aware that it is consciousness.

Consciousness can not be labelled or given an identity or become something. It is not a something but a consciousness experience - something that is experienced and that lives consciously...By virtue of itself as does the Real Being.

The consciousness is the light of the Inner Being.

To know oneself as nothing is a conscious experience not an emotional one of the personality or any "I" where we feel sorry for ourselves.

This nothing is the same emptiness of which Zen speaks about.

That knowing then, with work in time deepens to discover more of what it itself is...

To know oneself as consciousness is the most valuable thing that we can have...

The work on the ego then makes total sense. Non-identification makes total sense. As we understand to our bones that we are not any identity especially not the rough, stupid, nasty ones projected by the "I's" which we carry within we can really practice non-identification.

End (3261).

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...
