Giving and Taking Missionary and Students

Giving and Taking Missionary and Students - (4012)

There are two sides. Giving more and taking less and then there's giving less and taking more.

Obviously any missionary is the one that gives more and takes less. Students take more and give less. That’s natural and normal.

That is why the natural order of things is that students are respectful and listen. Students causing unnecessary trouble in a class is unfair that turns counterproductive. This because students are in the situation of receiving - to take, to learn, yes, and also in the situation of injustice where they are in debt. A person who is in debt is smart to not go against the one that he or she owes right - because the debt gets bigger.

Any missionary that has the idea of giving and taking in equal amounts won't last long and any missionary that has the idea of taking more than giving won't last long either.

Sometimes though a missionary can unknown to him or her take a lot more than what he or she gives. Then somehow through some means, difficulty will come to wake them up to their out of order situation so to define them. So as to ask do you really want to be a missionary or not? Meaning, to be a missionary always means to give more than what one takes. A missionary principally gives more with his or her work, class preparation and enthusiasm while presenting the class.

The only way to pay karma is to be in the 'giving more than taking' mode.

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...
