Real Calm Spot Photos - (3716)

Special Spots

Just on a lighter note now. Taking a break from the fantasy posts.

I think we all have to have our special spots where we for some reason, who knows why feel so calm. So suddenly at peace, more alert and just overall well. A place where we can really relax and let our nervous system replenish itself. The better we can relax and feel at ease the better and quicker we calm, heal, repair and charge up our nervous system which certainly has benefits for us.

To have our nervous system frayed, tired, exhausted puts us on edge, makes us nervous and we begin to believe that we can't keep all this up. We are so easily annoyed and just want to sleep or run away. 

Suprisingly these spots are not: Lake Como, the Swiss Alps, a deserted island, the Rockies, Gibraltar,  the red dusty outback, Nepal, the Sahara, Mount Kilimanjaru, etc.

A Few

Here are a few of mine.

This Tree on Canning Highway has something about it, whenever I walk past it (slowly has to be slowly in a rush one does feel it) every morning to the bus stop, such a calm and alertness washes over me and soon as I get a little distance from it, the effect dissipates. I remember one monring I was in a state, and when slowly walking past it I noticed such a contrast. To spend a few miniutes under its boughs was such a balm. 

Hope they don't cut it down. It is special.

Just sitting on the floor looking out in front of the fire place is another. On the floor, making contact with the ground, rock bottom, supported by Mother Earth, that's all that one needs.


This stretch of the path at Trigg. Same effect as the Como Pub tree. Maybe the pine trees or the wide vista and the Indian behind. Don't know but it works. I've untied a few aching internal mental and emotional knots while sitting and walking up and down there like a pacer.


Up here at Kings Park. Just the wide and high vista calms the mind. Allows the perception of vastness and emptiness to enter the mind which quietens it and like heals it from its detailed and narrow jails.


Practical Part

Whenever needing some help to feel a bit calmer, clearer, alert, at peace and more deeply reflective, visiting your spots is not a bad idea. Well worth it, if you can.

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...
