When a Thought is not Just a Thought (it seems)

When a Thought is not Just a Thought (it seems) - [3745]

A thought is just a thought when it flies across the screen of our mind and goes leaving no mark.

Most of our thoughts are like that.

Eventhough a thought is still a thought we believe a thought to be more than that and this kind of thought makes us worry, get frightened, panic, suffer, get angry, get agitated etc.

A thought I am going to trip over, we dismiss in seconds as a crazy thought. But when it is to touch our emotion we get rattled.

A thought is more than a thought when it touches our emotions, making it very close to action.

Eventhough it touches our emotions it is still a ruddy thought.

I find that I have to drill that down. When we decide to see these 'more than a thought' as just a thought some things change in us and we get a bit of separation happening.

Give it a try! The thing that works in this is due to the fact that we have not considered those 'more thoughts" as just thoughts yet.

For example the thoughts that bring us pain, if we see them as just thoughts the pain that we feel would not be that intense we would brush it off. We though don’t see the painful thoughts as just that thoughts we see them as pain-reality. But who says pain-reality exists by itself and in and of itself? It doesn’t does really it needs us to exist so it is relative.

A lot of what makes them more than just thoughts is that we believe in them.

Still letting them go as thoughts helps a lot.

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...
