Level of Being - (4055)

Our level of the Being is elastic, it varies depending on what we do. But the variation is not what interests us, it is the base level that interests us. We need to raise our base level. What is our base level? Hard to know fully. Well we can glimpse it based on our internal company. What is going on inside of ourselves - how much negativity is there in our thoughts and of what order, of what type?


We may pray and our level of Being rises, but then we get angry and start swearing and our level goes down again. What is our base level?


Anyway the way we raise our level of Being is by lifting that base, which is done through lots of self-observation, lots of comprehension and lots of effort to grab onto the change and make it stick, that is make it ourselves.



Changing the negativity of our thoughts is a good start in relation to any or all of the egos. To bring in the values and use them to modify our thoughts to be in accordance with those values. This will give us much contrast to use to work on ourselves to be able to raise our level of the Being.


Pride and lust are the factors that keep our level of the Being low the most. They are the heaviest elements for our level of the Being.


The most important thing related to our level of Being is knowing ourselves. We have to know ourselves deeply, deeply to be able to go upwards in the level of the Being.


End (4055).

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...
