The Worst Moment in the Work or Path or in Any Undertaking - (5299)

I think the worst moment in the work or the path or in any undertaking for that matter, is when we are about to throw in the towel.


That moment is really aweful, that moment when we think: "I just can't do it", "it is not for me, I've come as far as I can", "it was never for me anyway", "I'll just not make it then that's all"...is something both sad and daunting.


This moment as bad as it looks or feels, is so common...


I don't know about everyone, but many people who have been very successful in so many undertakings: the work, the path, climbing a difficult mountain, fighting in a war, building a business, starting humanitarian relief projects, passing through intense difficulties... have all thought and felt that before...


Once again, to feel or think that, well its not pleasant for the person who thinks or feels that but what counts is how we deal with it. What comes after the thought and feeling is what counts, because that is what unfolds one's destiny...


Anyway when this moment arises here in relation to the work here are some things to think about. 


1.) If we throw in the towel we will have to face the same difficulty later on, in this life or the next, it will be the same. So why not gather up the strength and consciousness to do or overcome it now.


2.) Do you know that this may be exactly what you need to develop and perhaps even pay for future higher states of consciousness ahead of you.


3.) What about others in your life? Some relationships depend on the work. Then there are others - real people that depend on your work, and what of them?


4.) What about your Being? Have you consulted your Being? How long has your Being been waiting?

  

5.) What happens if you just wait a short while, are you sure the storm won't pass? Everything as law does pass!


6.) Have you asked for help? To talk to somebody in the work can make a world of difference.


7.) Are you sure you are not being a sooky la la (Aussie slang for a cry-baby), being weaker than what you really are?


8.) Do you know how close you are to arriving at something valuable?


9.) Do you know what has been planned for you to do in the future if only you are to stay working? 


10.) Do you know what karma has been put aside until now? 


11.) Do you know what really awaits you in life and in your future lives? Well the same as the past right? Are you good with living the future as the past was? 


End (5299).

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...
