The Person Lacking Respect - (4041)

The person who lacks respect due to their large pride, in their depths does not respect their inner Being. 


If we do not respect our Inner Being there is no way that we are going to respect others.



If we don't have respect for the Inner Being in us, that which is most dear to us, that which is at the core of ourselves, that which gives us life, light and so many other essential currents of vital value to us, that which is the Law within us, that which is the most important to us, there is no way we are going to respect something outside of us which is not as important to us as our Inner Being is. 


When we respect our Inner Being we can respect others because we will be well aware that they also have a real Being like us, and that respecting their Inner Being is the same as respecting our Inner Being. Because when I respect the Inner Being of others I will use the same respect that I respect my Inner Being with. We can not give what we do not have within us.


If we respect others, respect will come to us. This is how we know we are respecting others.


If we respect others and respect from them does not come to us. Then respect ourselves, disengage from them and leave them with their disrespect.   


We lack that respect because we are way too full of ourselves. Pride is so huge, so big, thinking and feeling separate and different to our inner Being. We make our pride to be a power above our Inner Being, feeling the right to fulfill our own egoic will, despite our Inner Being. Pride always thinks it is above respect. But yet demands respect and feels mortally hurt when not respected.


End (4041).

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...
