When Under Karma No way be Passive

When Under Karma No way be Passive - (4118)

When we really feel karma pressing down on us, when the weight of karma falls heavily on our shoulders, the silliest thing to do is to stop working.

It is so silly to complain, to worry, to pace up and down, to think and think, to protest, to argue - all are useless...

We need merits, capital, dharma like crazy to alay the oppressing force of karma.

The force of karma can just be too strong for us to hold things up, things look solved then another hell of a block arises, the karma is implacable - crushing... There is no other choice but to generate merits, to pay, to pray to the Law working something out...

In no way is being passive helpful!

The thing to do is to get to work straight away. Hit hard the sacrifice, the death of the ego, ask the Law for help, for a repreive, a credit, something of a way to pay, to stop the continual pressing of these difficulties and to open a way to solve them.

There are special moments that one for a second feels the weight of karma on oneself and in those special moments one can know if one has the strength of merits to withstand it and solve it. We may have just enough to withstand it but not enough to solve it. We need more dharma more to merit to solve it than to withstand it.

We have to work for merits they do not come for free or from anyone else as a gift! They can from the guru from our inner Being's reserve of stashed away capital but that is usually all!

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...
