Approaching the Divine Mother while Looking in the Mirror - (4087)

Master Samael says when we think we are going bad we are actually going well and when we think we are going well we are in reality not going well.


Obviously when we are getting to really know ourselves we are likely to come across some disappointment. Hence we may think that we are not doing too well. However, the principle still applies that the more we know ourselves the better we are developing... 


The more we know ourselves the greater the potential there is to change, to repent, to improve, to fix, to correct etc. etc. Not knowing ourselves closes of these possibilities.



When we look at ourselves in the mirror of retrospection, it is really good to take ourselves close to our Divine Mother.


This is so that the Divine Mother helps us to see what is important and helps us to see correctly in the right light of things. 


With retrospection, we can see our actions, we can also see what was behind them, and we can also see their significance and their consequence.


In that mirror of retrospection we can see what we overlooked, what we forgot, what we ignored, what we did well, what we didn't do well, what is real, what is ego, what needs work, where erroneous thinking was and is still going etc. etc.


End (4087).

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...
