Keys for Life Taught by Our Centres - (4072)

Introduction

This post is a short list of some very important keys relating to the centres of the human machine. If we live by these keys we can be sure to enjoy life and live it much more consciously.


Once again these are not my keys, they are keys that Gnosis gives to us. I'm just presenting them and trying to apply them in my limited capacity.


One - Align the Centres

Our centres are in constant conflict. Mind and emotion often disagree. Often the disagreement between centres produces contradictions, which is unpleasant.


Inner battles and contradictions only bring unhappiness. The key to be happy is to bring all of our centres into agreement.


We are the weakest when our centres are in disagreement. Our health suffers dearly in such a state.


We are the strongest when our centres are aligned, that is all in agreement.


Two - A Bit from Each Centre

Seeing or taking life with just one centre is never correct. The more complete and truest appreciation of any event of life comes from seeing the event from the angles of all of our centres.


So to obtain the balanced view of any event, bring the thinking that each centre offers into your awareness. Because indeed, each centre has its language and its particular kind of thinking. Each centre thinks and sees things from its own angle. From an intellectual angle, from an emotional angle, from a doing angle etc. etc.


If we are overly emotional in an event, we can always be sure we are not taking the event or seeing the event correctly. This is true 100% of the time.




Three - Emotional Centre

This centre is the seat of our balance. It often defeats the other centres. What is in the emotional centre always comes down into action. If we convince our emotional centre we will act accordingly. It is the middle man between thought and action and often in business deals we know the middle man is the one that does the best.


If we keep our emotional centre present and interested we can sustain the work for any cause for as long as we like. The emotional centre allows us to penetrate into anything we study. It expresses inspiration and enthusiasm. It is also a lot like fire.

Four - Balance

When there is balance there is happiness, pain is absent. so when our centres are balanced we will feel contentment.


Balance occurs when there is participation of all three brains. Things flow through all of them, that is they do not get stuck in just one or two brains. 


Like for example, in a friendship, for it to be of a good quality there must be friendship or compatibility or concordance in the intellect, emotional and action. 

Five - Conserve and Equalise

To be healthy and happy we must conserve the energies of the centres. To do this employ a cycle. Some intellect, then some emotion, then some motor. Not spending too much time using each centre.


One centre often becomes a crutch for us. We tend to rely on one centre more than any other.


When we abuse a centre it aches, like a head ache, and doing this often begins to deplete the energies of this centre earlier than need be.

Six - Sphere of Action

Each centre has its limits, uses and benefits. Know them and use them where most fitting. Don't just use one centre all the time. Or don't use the wrong centre for the event. The right centre will balance the event. 

For example another person has out of control emotions then use your intellectual centre to see to analyse or your motor centre to fix, arrange, produce a solution.

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...
