Purity Posts: 1.) Short Series Introduction - (3888)

A few posts on the topic of purity to follow. Hopefully to be written succinctly.

Aim is to bring purity to light and see how we can bring it into our everyday work.

Allow the new examination of it to inspire us to seek a new octave in our work.

I believe there comes a time in anyone's work to consider this topic.

Because of the concepts we have about it, it can seem very unapproachable, very difficult, not really possible, and it can perhaps even make us feel unworthy, inadequate etc.

This is because our concepts of purity are moralistic, religious, dogmatic, fear based and somewhat deprived of the benefit of deeper examination and reflection.

I have decided to select all of those concepts and hit the delete key on them. I personally don't want to retain concepts that bring one any kind of suffering. I find that suffering does not help one to go forward in the work. Understanding that brings hope, faith and trust is what moves us forward in our work.

I am certainly not pure, we have our pure parts and impure parts in varying degrees. Nothing though or no one can stop us from examining the topic of purity and subsequently studying and working on those impure parts within us.

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...
