Anxiety Jingle Bells - (3730)

Trust

It is like anxiety Christmas, just now, like a lot of people are feeling anxious lately. 

We know that the antidote for fear, anxiety panic etc. is trust.

The trick is always to know how to apply it.

In the case of anxiety and panic there are two cases. One with karmic loading and one without.

We have to apply trust in both cases differently.

Karmic: Ego plus Implacable Karma

Let’s look at applying trust in the karmic loading case.

In the karmic loading case, we can’t do much to rid ourselves from it. We can diminish it but have it gone from the human machine within a few minutes is not quite in the realm of our effective capacity.

So here goes trust. With trust we accept those anxious pending doom feelings, the onset of panic, in a mindful way, feeling it, observing the movement of feeling, the waves of it. Then not resist or fight it, trust in the Law having sent it to us for us to pay some debt, for us to learn a valuable lesson, for us to work more, for us to be more conscious, for us to become more understanding with others, for us to temper our endurance, for us to learn how to not identify with feelings and sensations etc.

Trusting that it is for the best, the Law is in it, the Being is in it, and that what has a beginning has an end. To pay karma is for our best. Once it is paid we are free from it.

With panic we think we are going to be in enormous trouble, but we never do get into it, things usually turn out alright. We can trust in that too, that reality is kinder than anxiety thinks, it may feel awful but we are not going to be crushed or stoned alive.

Normal: Ego

In the case of no karmic loading, trust is applied in the sense trusting in life, in the work or goodness of others, in our essence, in our Being that our essence and our Being will help us get through the apparently difficult circumstances that are coming. But mostly don’t come, they only really come when we have done something objectively wrong.


In the case of no karmic loading, we can jump aggressively on that ego. Convincing it with trust that things will be ok. Things are ok already even. In a short time things will normalize and be ok again. We have to get that essence trapped inside that ego to see outside of it’s own bottle. That sometimes even requires making the unacceptable the acceptable.

It could be me next, we may think. Well, you and me both have gone through it before and if we havn’t done anything of strong karmic consequence lately, if it appears, we will get through it once again. This time quicker than before. 

More posts to come.

End (3730).

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...
