Tiny Technique to Get out of the Mind - (4093)

A true thing is that most of the time we have our consciousness in our mind. Very rarely are we in a state that we have our consciousness out of our mind.


When the above happens that is pure freedom, magic, light and so many things that we just don’t ordinarily experience.


We can have our consciousness activated but still have it in the mind. That's heaps better than when our consciousness is asleep but it still logically implies some kind of conditioning imposed on our consciousness by our mind.


Anyway what I wanted to post about is something a lot simpler. 



There are some bothersome pesky states where our mind gets so active, for example when we think people are looking at us maybe judging us and we become self-conscious or awkward or restless, or when we get worried about what others are thinking about our gestures and facial expressions when we are talking to them, or we can't forget about ourselves and be natural around others, like when a photo is being taken etc. etc. we all know those bothersome internal states where the mind is just too active.


So the simple thing that works is to notice three or four  things in the environment or in yourself. Really noticing for real, not mechanically, three things in the outside environment works best at first. Really notice and be surpirsed by it and you will see that you are out of your mind. You activated the 'awe' aspect of your consciousness which displaces the mind. 


Give it a try and see if it works for you. For me it works well.


End (4093).

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...
