Willy Wagtail Stands Down the Mazda

Willy Wagtail Stands Down the Mazda - (3563)

What is it with these willy wag tails? One afternoon I as pulling into the Como centre’s driveway and this willy wag tail "Gustavo el Grande' we call him was standing me down. Standing defiant in the middle of the drive way preventing me from driving in.

He looks at me, moves his head like he is annoyed and stares for a second or two then walks off to his left. Opening the drive way for me to drive in.

They are bossy birds, they often marshal all other birds away. Often many times larger than their own size too.

trying to move Pushjak the fur ball of a cat.

To have this spirit is certainly good. However directed inwardly. To stand up to our karma, to our own weaknesses and stand defiant before them and say I will work and work and defeat you is something that we all need!

To defy outside of ourselves goes against the natural order and Law and that is unmistakably Pride.

See the ego is about polarities, The ego is a quality, taken inside of ourselves it is right, taken outside it is not right. The ego is a polarization that sits on the unconscious and mechanical side. The side that rests with the sensorial mind. A side which forgets that It’s own quality can be used inwardly to benefit the person's essence.

Say if one is defiant by nature that's not bad, but we must have the wisdom to know when not to be defiant.

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...
