Heart to Heart Battle

Heart to Heart Battle - (4022)

There are three battles Master Samael says. Heart against heart, intellect against heart and intellect against sex.

The worst is heart against heart. I'll explain a little bit why.

Heart against heart is what costs us the most to resolve. Our heart divides, with forces deep in both sides coming out to battle. Both are noble and right feelings and the battle of one against the other hurts. Nobility against nobility is a fight that just should not be, but it happens in the heart against heart fight.

The worst fight to see is always two saints fighting, two mothers fighting, two priests fighting, two siblings... Because no one can understand it. Two drunkards, two criminals, two mercenaries, two boxers fighting - everyone understands that and no problems.

Heart against mind is hard but not so costly. Because we know the heart holds the most noble, and it is just a process of the mind letting go and accepting the heart. Sometimes it is different, where the feeling is not very noble but the mind holds the logical and the correct in accordance with ethics and the esoteric teachings, and in this situation it is heart that has to conform by making itself noble.

Intellect against sex is not as hard, maybe a bother but if we just wait, stay still, the force of sex calms and the battle is resolved. We also know that what the intellect holds is the logical, the right, the common sense, the orderly and so when the sexual power calms the common sense of the intellect appears more strongly and takes control and balances things.

The peak and decline of these three battles is reached once we see the solution and we appreciate it and know that it is the best and right thing. That is when our consciousness appears and helps us. Before that moment, it is hell, pure warfare raging in our poor human machine.

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...
