Knowing Oneself - (4071)

The real knowing of oneself is not such an easy thing at times.


It is really to wonder into unknown territory which at first and for a while until we assimilate it, it is something unnerving. To meet a part of ourselves, previously unknown to ourselves and a part that we don't particularly like. 





Master Samael said that the more he rejected evil the more he fell into it.


For sure, all unknown to us, are things that dwell in us that are parts that we have always worked against and have always disliked, and have even regarded as doing the opposite of them as being our saving grace. 


Of course in really knowing ourselves we mostly pass through many disappointments and disillusions with ourselves. Due to our false self-concept. Of course there are also some pleasant surprises.


It is the role of the Typhon Baphomet to show us these sides of ourselves.


Of course a deal of force is needed on His part to bring those things out and to organise physical circumstances and internal ones if required to bring those things out. Of course He must bring them out such that we can see them as clear as day so that there is no escape from having to accept them.


The Typhon comes when the consciousness is prepared enough. The primary level of preparation is that the essence will not escape having to accept.


Certainly it is so true that accepting is the only way forward of training ourselves towards finally comprehending and eliminating that side to ourselves and with elimination giving to rise to a new and better side of ourselves.   


Thus the Typhon whitens a patch of his dark skin through us and our work which also as we co-operate with him we make it his work too.

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...
