Fantasy Posts: Basic Combat Training - (3677)

Introduction

That's the question - how to combat fantasy.

Here are some useful steps.

Steps

Step 1 - Ammunition

This is the foundation step. Good foundation = solid work.

Here we know why we want to work on fantasy: to awaken, to save energy, to win our life back, to enjoy our real life, to be present, to have more time of our life etc. 

We also understand the benefits and the negative consequences. We have decided to work on fantasy with the purpose of dissolving it.

Post 3678 gives some good points.

Step 2 - Morning

Wake up in the morning and start the 'work on fantasy' day well. Making at least the first 30 minutes of your day as free from fantasy as possible. This sets us up nicely for the no fantasy work for the rest of the day.


Step 3 - Self-Remembering

We have to enter self-remembering, or enter that place of quieter mind within us. Always try to go back there. Because from there we can see all the arising fantasies.

Step 4 - Alertness

Dial up our alertness to be able to catch the fantasies.

Discard them as you see them untrue and taking you nowhere.

The major key is not to believe in them. If you want to believe in them ask yourself at least why.

Note down observations to take into your work of dissolution. Make special efforts to observe more and comprehend the quality desired in the fantasies that are frequent.

Step 5 - Work

Take the observations and understanding of the persistent fantasies before the Divine Mother for Her to help dissolve them.

End (3677).

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...
