The Eyes and a Glance - (3818)

Vision

Vision and our eyes are a huge aspect of our life. Imagine our life without them, scary hey?

Anyway if something is huge for us that means there is a lot there that we can learn.

Our eyes unlike our ears are both passive/receptive and emissive/sending. Our ears only receive, but our eyes command and receive.

Because our eyes emit or influence just like gestures, they create effects, and anything that creates effects, we must become aware of and learn to control. Right? Because it implies cause and effect. And as far as cause and effect is concerned it is best to always generate beneficial effects. 

Hearing is not a gesture and so there is no need to control it, just learn to use it when necessary. But our eyes are different. 


Train our Eyesight

Master Samael says that we have to train our eyesight. For sure we do. That helps us a lot in terms of our personal dignity and in developing our will power. Very important for being a gentleman or a decent self-respecting person.


It is embarrassing to be caught looking someone up an down. Isn't it? Training our eyes totally avoids this. Plus to receive an 'up and down' look actually does not feel all that good. It often has like an aggressive feel to it. Not sure what you have felt - but I dare to say to be looked up and down by someone is to receive a slight bit of undue aggression from them. A kind of measuring up, what for? For contest for competition for sex for what?


Even to look someone up and down does not feel all that good either, to allow our eyes to wonder all over another person, sort of feels like we have lowered our appreciation of the person, like we are starting to disrespect them. I'm not sure what you feel, maybe we should not feel anything because it is only a look, well anyway...read on.


This guy has hunger in his glance.


Power in a Glance

There is a lot of power in a person's glance. A glance  transmits something to another person: 'a look that could kill", "a look as cold as ice", "a look that said it all", "if looks could kill", “fire in the eyes” etc. 

Our eyes can be made through practices of imagination and will to accumulate energy and light, and then emit light.

Our glance carries forth some of our psychic quality. We can give or take with our eyes. This point is important.

Looking at someone insistently for a long time trying to command/influence them is not really good. The receiver really feels nervous, uneasy and unsure, even perhaps they can get aggressive as a reaction when this happens. 

Even vague, passive vacuous looks are not helpful to a receiver either, it is sort like the person doing the looking is drawing something from the receiver.

There are looks from students that sometimes give nothing and then there are looks that give something and then the instructor can give something back.

The essence and consciousness of a person can be seen in the eyes of the person.

In astrology you know there are the glances of the planets. The gaze of the Moon, the gaze of Mercury, the gaze of the Sun etc. I'll write about that tomorrow.

We can give with our look some of the light and energy of our essence, some of our love, some of our kindness and some of  our strength and we can also give with our look some of the egos that we have.

We can actually work to purify our glance.

Oh rats out of time. Finish this off tomorrow...

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...
