Loneliness Learnings - (3564)

Everything in Life has a Purpose

Being single for a certain period of time has a purpose, as everything in our life does.

It could be that it is a learning. A learning that we may need to pass through in life for our development or for a future stage of our life.

The learning here could well be to arrive at peace within oneself, being content with oneself as one is. Where in that peace the gaping lacks have, to a larger degree been quashed.  

What gaping lacks? They may vary from individual to individual. Perhaps they may be: lack of confidence (what's wrong with me - not good enough to find someone), lack of certainty (will I ever find someone?), lack of love (maybe I'm too selfish), lack of an energetic compliment (well you work that one out yourself as to what it means specifically) etc.  

To understand that the state of loneliness can be felt being physically alone or surrounded by people is a step forward in knowledge and understanding . 

*I'm here writing this and I'm asking myself: "why am I writing this stuff? I don't like this theme too much. Well anyway I've started might as well finish."

States of Loneliness

The states of loneliness are something that arises within us due to something ontological. In particular, due to us having forgotten something ontological about ourselves.

While feeling 'lonely' we ignore that we are a complete being. We happen to be complete already. We have both masculine and feminine within. 

Yes it is true, we lack realisation, true we lack the emancipation and unification of all of the parts of our Being - but we have already all the parts that need to be liberated and integrated, there is nothing missing. As long as we have the Divine masculine and feminine principles within us to make the complete the oneness we have all that we need to be complete.

So what is loneliness? It is the feeling that we lack something, miss something nostalgically, want something of the new, something magical and inexhaustible, something immune to the weathering of time, something immune to disappointment, something yet we yearn to acquire (but can't reach it) etc.

Doesn't that smack to you of missing the Being within you? But yet we think we feel lonely because we are single. Isn't the magical, the inexhaustible and the immortal always the Being? 

Common Perception

In the common perception, people attribute loneliness to not having a complement - 'the other half', a 'significant other'. So in other words, the common perception of loneliness, is that it is related to the completion of masculine and feminine. 

We don't realise that we have both masculine and feminine within us. And that when we find or discover these attributes within us, much of that outward grasping subsides.  

'Up Our Sleeves'

With this learning 'up one's sleeve', one is be able to start a relationship in a much more conscious manner. 

With this learning one can avoid building their relationship on false bases. The bases that 'you should love me by showing this, doing this', 'that I need your love', 'that I can not live without you', 'I must have your attention and love', 'that love means ...', 'that love means I am always first', 'that only sweet tones and sweet words must be spoken to me',  etc.

Note, there is a big difference between the other person doing all of the above things naturally and freely out of their love, and us demanding that they do these things. 

When we have false bases we demand! We only wish to receive! When we give we must receive! We cry, we despair, we feel disappointed, of course because all along what we really deeply want is to be able to merge into the fount of love in our own Being and give love to others with integrity and sincerity. But because we forget our inner Being we look for that outside, in and through others, and we became so demanding and so perfectionist in those demands. 

Final Salutations

I want to say that this does not justify being single or mean that a person should remain single. Because as we know, only by practicing the Alchemy, can one awaken the cosmic fire - the cosmic feminine. When She the Divine Cosmic fire is active in us, She can rise to meet the Divine Masculine and complete the Divine couple. This Divine marrying occurs within you many times, on many different and deeper levels within your own Being, along our your own Being's path.  

P.S
Having finished writing this post now, I am still wondering what I am doing, why did I write this stuff. Well who cares do you really? Nah! Me neither - lets see the next post.

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...
