Loneliness - (5248)

This was a post I wrote some time ago but didn't publish. It remained almost finished in the drafts section for all this time. As I'm now trying to declutter it's worth publishing just to get it out of the draft section.

Loneliness is an internal psychological state. 

It is a state of lacking, a state where a certain void is felt.

It is an inferior state that as it grows it begins to eat a way at our sense of purpose in life. Things seem to lose their meaning or significance and things in our life seem less worthwhile than they did before. 

Loneliness causes us to abandon things that would otherwise keep us company. A cause that we are fighting for keeps us company and feeling lonely is not to notice that the work for this cause keeps us company.

Some masters travel and spend a lot of time alone in the physical world. They are full of their Being and being full they have their inner company. They have their Being. They are fully connected and so they are not lonely. Through their Being is the connection to everything else, as the Being is connected to everything.


There is the root cause, our lack of making company with our inner Being.

So then, we begin to accept that we lack the company of our inner Being. The next step is to make our efforts to go to Her or Him. 

We can go to our Divine Mother and find Her using our love and our prayer. Stay a while there with Her, making concerted inner efforts to be there with Her using will and imagination lots of heart felt prayer.

Self-compassion enjoys the mystique of loneliness, and enjoys its philosophical and lamenting flavour. 

Lust does not like it and tries to solve it or at least take one's attention away from it.

Pride does not like to admit it and envy burns seeing the friends and company others have.

End (5248).

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...
