Ethics of the Path what Distinguishes It - (4163)

It seems after some exposure to other spiritual schools and systems that a spiritual kind of ethics is missing.


There are so many spiritual movements that speak about 'a learning', 'a journey', 'neither right or wrong', 'all in the universe', 'the flow', 'what feels natural' etc.


But what of an ethics, they seem not to have a really clearly defined set of ethics. Yet the principles and laws of any ethics are always clear...


They really don't like abiding by an ethics. A loose or looser kind of ethics yes, they are comfortable with that and talk about that, but who can guaranteee the sincere seeker that that looser kind of ethics is the ethics of the path or an ethics sufficient enough to walk the one secret path back to the Inner Being?


Ethics may seem to be so rigid...


Often that perception that ethics is rigid produces an unpleasant feeling of restriction: "I can't do that, what?". Most of the time it is an egoical desire that wants to do that anyway...we may know that or we may not know that...


What is the real freedom? The freedom to do what the ego or essence or anything in us wants to do? Some may say yes and of course it is. But a realer, deeper freedom is one where you can chose not to suffer! And you don't suffer! 


Mind you if what we chose caused suffering or an imbalance we will suffer if not now but later...


In some tantra schools there is the knowledge of transmutation and practical techniques to do it, but little of ethics. 


There is the thinking: "what is free is right, and less ethics means freedom, there is no right or wrong only energy, therefore less ethics is good and the right comfortable way" - "everything is all ok, transmute mostly but losing some is ok". If you are a man you can enjoy a few different women etc. there's nothing wrong with that". But who can say such a method or way will lead one to the freedom in the long run?


I think anyone with a bit of knowledge of the esoteric teachings can see that when the Real Being is free from karma then comes more of the real freedom...


Being free to do what you want completely and then win the abyss and continue to try and do what you want is not freedom, because in each of moment we spend in the abyss we are losing life. Just like when are identified and we descend into our abyss we are not free and we are losing the enjoymernt of our real life free as an essence.

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...
