Living Day by Day Helps Us and Teaches us Trust

Living Day by Day Helps Us and Teaches us Trust - (4088)

Our common condition as human beings here on the Earth is that our mind makes the experience of our life really hard.

Our mind projects so many scary things... things that worry us, things that make us frown...

When our mind looks into the future it tends only to see difficulties, and those difficulties make us feel unwell. We feel nervous, anxious and the 'impossible' type of feeling comes over us. We think we won't be able to deal with it or it will so be hard.

The thing is, we really feel and believe that the future will be so difficult...

We are advised to forget about the future and live day to day, and so we do that for a while, handling each day as it comes.

Seeing that we can handle each as day, we start to believe that our mind is the one that is not quite right. We have made it through each day so far, and we are fine, despite what our mind has been telling us.

We start to believe that our mind's projections are the ones that are causing us the trouble, not the future or the day.

Slowly glimpsing this, that our mind is the troublemaker we start to see that a didactic is in place, a certain flow, that our mind does not know about, and that flow has not really harmed us so far. So then a bit of trust in life, in that flow, in the author of that flow begins to grow. We see that we can trust in life, in the Being, in the Divine Law (authors of the flow) a bit more, because we know that that flow and the author of that flow, are not going to harm us.

We can relax a little more, knowing that our mind is not quite right. What it says is not how things will be...

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...
