Question Answered from Post 3866 - (3869)

Question 

"Could it be that the Being sometimes teaches us with a fall? Or perhaps puts us in a situation where a very disgraceful fall is inevitable at our individual level of Being, i.e. when we are too weak? I am not talking about nocturnal pollutions. I am talking about voluntary acts of sin where we know that what we are doing is wrong, yet we are not strong enough to do the right thing. And afterwards, our inflated sense of ambition and mystical pride is absolutely crushed and we helplessly drown in shame and bitterness from within?"



Answer

I have heard that we are submitted to tests that were designed for us to fail. The purpose of us failing is for us to become more aware of our weaknesses, to destroy complacency, to have our pride reduced to reality and for us to work harder.


That's a tricky point, whether it is our Being that puts us in that position or we actually do that. If the Being does it, it would have to be for a beneficial result, seen immediately or seen a little later down the track.


Maybe to learn a lesson where you are to not repeat that error. I have heard where people who were not working very hard on themselves had an experience with their Typhon Baphomet where He told them that if they continue being negligent He would drag them back to their former life of degeneration (drugs, alcohol, night life, infra-sex etc.).


If the Being wants Its realisation it would not put you into a situation that would ruin Its chances of getting its self-realisation. Maybe to crash you lightly but not so bad that you can't get back up again. But it is still just surmising I don't know for sure.


That's why we pray the Our Father, especially the line that says: "Deliver us from evil, and lead us not into temptation". 


The Father is naturally meant to do that, i.e. protect us from evil and take us away from temptation. But the Being has two hands, one left and one right and He can work in mysterious ways. One idea of the Our Father prayer is get the Being to teach us with the right hand and not the left. But if the right does not work He must use the left.


End (3869).

    No worries. Don't forget that even if we are in a difficult situation we helped get ourselves there and we will have to pay the karma to get out. In such situations it is so helpful to ourselves to work like crazy on the egos in us involved in it all to really learn the lessons and make those egos die so as to make all that suffering worth it.

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...
