Curiosity Counteract

Curiosity Counteract - (3977)

A good weapon against curiosity is understanding that we don't really need to know that which we are curious (egoically even) about.

The following points help us to get this understanding.

We have to be quite expert to recognise when what we are curious about is egoically motivated, is about something unsafe, is about something inconvenient, is about something silly or is even unethical, is invading someone's privacy or is indecent in nature.

In seeing that we need to know that giving the green light to curiosity will harm us. Sometimes we can get information that messes our head up, then we really know in our own flesh that curiosity is not all that it is cracked up to be.

People end up losing the sexual energy because of curiosity - such a favour it does for us. People delve into infra-sexuality due to curiosity. But in these cases there is some subconscious desire behind that.

To enforce the above point of knowing that the information won't help us is the love that we have for our essence. When we love our essence we do the best for it always.

The knowledge that curiosity looks for is not as good as the knowledge that we can release from our consciousness. This knowledge from our consciousness will never harm us, but the knowledge we get from curiosity often does.

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...
