Yesterday a Banana Day then Fight for a Better Today - (3485)

Banana Days

Most days can be banana days in our psychological work. We make an effort to move towards a certain result, but we tend not to get there, we swerve away from our goal just like a how banana bends.

A lot of this is due to the conditions of our day.

For sure the only conclusion we can come to, to overcome the bend in the banana is to use will.

Our Day is Undoubtedly a Gym to Train Our Will

It really seems that our daily circumstances are really a gymnasium to strengthen our will in the fields of the psychological and the esoteric.

For will to be effective we need concentration. Unfortunately to have concentration we need to sacrifice something. And that something is distraction.

Concentration

Concentration works by being able to fix steadily our attention on the task at hand or our efforts towards our goals. The longer we concentrate the more our will drives us forward.

The above is the ideal but if we lack concentration we have to use our memory to remind ourselves as frequently as our yearning allows.

Hit the work towards our goal as often as we can. The trick is that if that goal is in our heart we won;t get tired nor bored of reminding ourselves to take action.

Conclusion

So unfortunately no other way but to wisely use will to straighten our side-tracked banana day.

End (3485).

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...
