Angel and Devil - (3779)

These two exist in us. For a while anyway. Master Samael says that we are never in the greatest danger of being a demon than when we are about to be an angel. How about that?


So up until that point on the path the two live in us, the potential for both exists in us. The further we walk on the path the closer we are to fulfilling the angel potential. 


Maybe we are the angel during the week and the devil comes out on the weekend, feeling bored, low, despondent, maybe its the opposite. So bitter during the week and so helpful and kind on the weekend.    



Maybe we practice and a new state of consciousness suffuses into us and we are more conscious and joyful and in control and work promptly on anything that appears. The new state wears off and we go neglectful and dream away soundly.


We are like two people. Which is not balance it is neither here nor there.


Really what exists though is just states of consciousness one set of states align more with the higher and other states align with the lower.


Define for one and struggle against the states of the other. To be more and more the one we defined for. 


To struggle against one we need to know both, absolutely we need to know. To know when one is approaching and to know the one to go to instead, and how to go to it which is much more important. 


End (3779).

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...
