Law of Backlash - (5350)

Karma is another word for the Law of Backlash.


The way this law works is that something is in balance and then we go and do something to it and what we do unbalances it. That thing now being unbalanced, to get back into balance moves against us.


It is like a branch of a tree. The tree and its branches are in a state of equilibrium. Then a man comes along and bends a branch. All is fine until he lets it go. The branch will naturally want to retake its natural position where it was in a state of equilibrium. In the process of returning to its natural state it flings back against the man hitting him in the face breaking his nose. That is the law of backlash.


We do this often - trying to change the natural course of things or the way something is when it is in a state of balance. The change we make comes back against us.


So often when there is karma and we try to get involved, even to help, this law of backlash applies. Why? Because the karma itself does not want to be altered, a certain process is in place and that process is the process of returning to equilibrium and our intervention disrupts that process, and we receive the backlash.  


So to deal with the backlash one has to be strong, that is have more force than the backlash, if one does not the backlash will be harmful and in that case it will be like one adds extra karmic weight upon themselves. Maybe it is smarter not to provoke the backlash.

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...
