Make Efforts to Leave the Abysses - (3927)

There are many so called abysses or hells. A certain job could be one, a sickness could be one, an addiction another, an violent and abusive relationship another and then there is the real abyss or hell.


We have the abyss inside of us in our subconscious and infra-conscious and in the bowels of the Earth.


There are many regions in both of these abysses. What links us to each of these regions are our egos.


Each ego represents a section of the abyss and is a mini abyss in itself.



When we are submerged in an ego we are in that section of the abyss, with its very strange and weirdly oppressive flavour. We experience life as if we are in living a subterranean world looking out. 


One day we become clear that we descend into that abyss by entertaining those egos that link us there. 


One day we decide to radically break free from that abyss. 


We decide this because we are fed up of living in that abyss. We feel we can't contiunue on like that and we know in our bones that we can't progress to something new and our karma won't ever get paid.


To attempt to cut free requires the dissolution of those egos that drag us there. First step is to no longer feed those egos. This is a radical and serious step and the most important. 


The decision to no longer feed these egos and no longer have anything to do with the impressions, people and activities that are of that abyss (if they are, they may not) in time brings about the elimination of that ego.


We just then need practices of dissolution and deeper comprehension to weaken and weaken that ego until its karma is paid and it can die.   


Some new stages of our esoteric life are all held in suspension until we cut away from these abysses.


End (3927).

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...
