Fears Related to Body Functions

Fears Related to Body Functions - (4117)

We have fear related to functions of our body. Fear of not being able to eat at an important dinner, fear of not being able to sleep, fear of not making it to the toilet on time, fear of choking, fear of not being able to function well in this or that activity or occasion.

We forget though how strong the body is without the mind.

I heard a man who presented many shows on TV using his own example as the subject for the shows, about how far we can actually drive the body. He said that we can't drive the body to breaking point. When we break it is because our mind believes that we had reached our limit.

Trust plays an important role in all of this. If we trust in the body in the right direction in which the fear is in we can put the mind to rest. When the mind is not at rest we have the thoughts of fear that we are going to be sick at the important dinner and we are going to not be able to eat, and actually the mind makes that happen. All the time our stomach is very capable of eating well.

So in this case it could be that we need to learn to trust our stomach. To know that we can trust it to do its job. It has been designed to digest and that is its speciality and one and only function. If there is not anything else majorly bothering us as soon as we trust the stomach we will be fine and it will do a good job as it always does in many occasions and settings.

Our job is to find exactly where and how we don't trust in our body. Then apply trust and then we start to get somewhere with the work on that fear.

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...
