The "Don't Care About Anything" State - (3876)

There are these funny states we get into at times. Well what is the most importnat thing is that we notice it, we larn something about it and then we move out of it. To be stuck is the problem! I re-iterate, to myself more than to you, that the real most important thing is to notice, learn and jump out.


We may find ourselves not having that will that we had just a few days ago, not having that emotional energy connected to our nervous system, feeling tired, just not 'into' pushing forward with anything or doing anything requiring extra effort than just sitting, finding our system not interested in wanting to know about having to do this, having to drive towards this, fight for this, if you want this you must do that, if you don't do that then this issue will arise, things are hard and you have to fight otherwise you will never get there etc. Sometimes such a state is accompanied by a lack in faith. 




The thoughts that arise when we see ourselves feeling this way are not the issue, they are projections, extrapolations, often negative and pessisimtic in character. They are not going to happen they are only projections and seeing them as negative projections certainly keeps them just as projections that we soon forget, and that don't become reality.


This could mean a short repose is needed of lesser activity. A repose does not mean stopping, but works of lesser intensity. Works that don't pressure the mind, which could mean activities that use the mind less. 


The mistake when feeling ill is to not take any medicine. So when we feel like this (as described in 2nd paragraph), we are not feeling all that well. So some medicine to get better is more a good thing than a bad thing.


Medicine is something that relaxes the mind and feeds the essence. There are many positive activites that do that. Ponder carefully and chose wisely. Sometimes we don't chose wisely we chose something that the ego feeds off and we feel worse.


Just small steps, the mantra OM imagining the blue light in the heart with the mind relaxing is wonderful...


The time comes that the small steps work and the state passes. Always something to learn and to fix in our consciousness and in our resolutions for next time. 


End (3876).

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...
