Constantly Pampering a Person is Not Conscious Love - (3942)

A bit rough to hear right? Something within us hardens and recoils, not wanting us to hear more about it, right? However, with pain later on we realise that it is true, and we say to ourselves: "just why didn't I know that ten years ago, things would be different now".


Always the goal of conscious love is to enhance the essence, to give a boost to the essence so that it can stand on its own two feet and walk confidently more and more knowingly towards its Monad.


The way this is done always varies and is open to what is needed and most effective given our condition or state of consciousness and capacity of understanding.



To pamper a person is to do a disservice to their essence. They become dependent on that treatment. Some egos really take a lot of force in the background, the pampered person stops working on themselves and only lives for the other person, lives to receive the pampering and defines and validates themselves through the pampering.


They forget their essence and their Monad and they become strongly dependent and very upset and demanding when the level of pampering decreases. 


We can't control circumstances, situations, people and things and so suffering is inevitable. 


To pamper someone is to feed their ego and the other person doesn't really know the harm that it is going to do to them later on. So we do a disservice to them.


This happens a lot with students, if the instructor does not make them work and gives them the solution to everything all the time they become weak in their essence and sooner or later they have difficulty. It is wiser, more conscious to make students to work and help them in their work when needed to get the answer to their problems and difficulties with the ego.


End (3942).

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...
