Less is More. When? - (3764)

Sometimes less is more, right?


Right! The magic is knowing when - = +.


This I think is a worthwhile consideraton, even as far as a common truth in life. 


Getting it wrong is often pretty inconvenient.


Say a person is recovering from having been unwell and is feeling just well enough to walk around and start getting back to their life's normal activities. But the person has missed a few weeks of classes and really wants to return, and in fact goes straight back to the next class. 

There in class things are going well, 'it's so good to be back" then oh dear, it starts to hurt again and then hurt more and more and they are thinking "hope I can make it back home, I'm feeling real good at all".


Then the person suffers a relapse and has to miss classes for another week and a half.


It would have worked out better to have waitied until one was strong and really well enough to go back to class.


Sometimes giving a someone a little works out to be more for them. Because if they are students they then study and practice more and get more from that than if everything was nicely set out on a silver platter.


In conclusion, it is a good to be aware of when less is going to work out ot be more and appreciate that when we are given less, there is the law that - = + and we can to make less into more for us internally.


Basically the psychological work is all about making less more for us internally.

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...
