We Control: Ok, Others Control: Panic

We Control: Ok, Others Control: Panic - (3371)

We can manage fairly well when we are directing an activity, but when we are subject to the will of others we panic in the worst case or feel uneasy in the least case.

Why?

When we are in control we know what is going to happen (we think we do anyway) and we know we are not going to steer things into our weaknesses or places that we don't want to go to.

When we are not in control we think things are going to be steered into places that we don't like, can't manage, can't cope with etc. We are scared!

The typical problem is that our capacities are limited only to what we like.

We need to expand our capacities to deal and cope with everything. When we get to that point that fear will go.

Example

We must in control of choosing where we eat because I can't have it that we choose Malaysian or Asian as I can't stand noodles. If you can stomach more or less everything and feel well in the tummy and are not a fussy eater, no worries about who chooses where we eat.

I can't let another missionary give a talk because others will like him and go to his group. As I can't stand not being the main source of direction, knowledge, help for my students I can't have that.

I can't have someone say in my house as they will use up my time, my money, my routine will get modified - they will control things and I'll be a subordinate in my own house.

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...
