Relationship is an Art - (4126)

I don't know a lot about this but for sure with every person we relate to, whether it be a friend, a family member, a student or otherwise there is always 'the particular' implied. 


Each relationship is an art. If we know how to paint we can make a work of art out of a relationship. Whichever relationship that be. 


If we know how to live, how to suffer, how to die we can make our very own life a work of art. Knowing this first teaches us how to make relationships a work of art.


Everyone has their particular psychology and their particular psycholgy is different to ours. I mean that different to ours! To not see this is to be silly. We can see it but we also have to accept it. Accepting it is better than knowing it, because we can then live.


Everyone has a particular way that works best to get through to them... to talk to them to help them or lead them...or work with them or do this or that with them. 


We may like or not like their way but after all its the way of their nature. What can we do? Adapt ourselves, see what is good and true in that nature and maybe modify certain ways we take with them for the better or understand it, know it and use it to work with them? Or just reject it which may be right for us in some moments or in other moments very unwise, well we just have to see...


Gurdjieff called the foruth way the way of the cunning man...


Once m.m.m told me that the Christ is very astute in the sense that it knows the ways to catch essences for the light, what those ways may be, who knows, but that He knows and can employ a variety of means to bring essences to the light, perhaps ways above the relativity of good and evil. 


Jesus said in the gospels to be as wise as a serpent but as gentle as a dove. 


End (4126).

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...
