Two Minds Battle - (3638)

We have basically two minds.

This we are not really aware of. It is really worth being aware of this. Becasue as soon as we are we have a way to resolve conflicts and a way to be free opens up.

Master Samael says that really life is about a battle between these two minds.

These two minds are the sensorial and the inner. The sensorial works with the senses and the inner works with the consciousness.

One mind is a foreign installation and the other is really our own. The sensorial is mind is the foreign installation, made up of all the things we have learnt this life, all the things, from culture, upbringing, school, university, society, norms, customs etc. etc. 


The inner mind is the one that is really our own. It is a plane that allows thinking based on what is received from our consciousness. The impulses, perceptions, messages and understanding of the consciousness is converted into profound thought.

Our sensorial mind is the one that thinks up so many problems and difficulties all based on matter, people, events, emotions, people's reactions and hundreds of other things of the sort. It is also very skeptical and limited, almost fixated . It has a lot of difficulty understanding people and events.

When we realise though that there is another mind in us that thinks very differently to the above, things change. The inner mind thinks along a different line, one that has to do with trust, one that is clear, knows what to do and feels conviction in that, one that guides, that calms, one that touches our essence and shows us what we really want, one that dispels so many projections and sticks to reality, one that causes us to reside in its feeling of calm etc.

Then it is a matter of jumping from the sensorial to the inner by putting our attention on the inner mind. Then many things begin to change.

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...
