Purify the Mind Using the Help of Mental Associations - (3763)

To purify the mind implies many things of course, always many things. But one thing it implies is, and this is common sense is that we have to shake out a lot of things from our mind. Just like a carpet that has accumualted a lot of dust and dirt, sand, sticks, fleas, cat hair and anything else.


To remove things we need to know what there is to remove. So we need to become aware of what is in our mind. Commonly we are only very partially aware of what we have in our mind.



There is one terrific way to become aware of what is in our mind. It is to use mechanical associations to vacuum all that we have in our mind about certain topics out, bringing it all up into view.


I recommend to take a subject that is rough and heavy, like violence for example, then use mental associations. Write down all that our mind associates with violence. The associations will always present what we have in our mind. The associations can only ever draw upon what is already in our mind. 


After a while we will get to exhaustion point where we can't draw out anymore. Be ruthless draw out everything everything not being afraid of the worst things that our own mind has. 


When we have everything that our mind has on the table about violence we can do some cleaning, some discarding, some purifying.


Some things we can discard as absurd because they are not connected to reality what so ever and others we can ask the Divine Mother to dissolve. 


Always when we have to clean there are some things that are easy to get rid of and some things that are hard. Always, always, just try it out on your shed or garage. The same thing applies to our mind.


Another topic is sex. These two topics of violence and sex really make any person very heavy and full of junk. When we remove the erroneous, the absurd, the useless in those two areas we feel very different in our mind. Actually more relaxed.


End (3763).

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...
