Responsibility in the Word - (4171)

This post comes from something I am currently working on. I have not by any stretch mastered it but I am trying to go towards that point.


I have observed this from a long time ago that certain people are very strong and seem to always come out on top in any kind of discussion or argument. I always wanted to know why.


One day not too long ago it dawned on me, that such a person is one that takes a higher degree of responsibilty in their written or spoken word. Plus they could have other qualities present and active in them but never mind about that. That's not the topic of this post.


I feel that to know that we are responsible for our word produces a change in us, and is actually very powerful because it calls us to be conscious of our word yes as expected but that's not really the important thing that it calls us to be conscious of.


I feel it calls us to be conscious of our psychological processes of which the word is the end result.


To be responsible for our word has to mean so many things as one can imagine. One of the things I see that it would mean out of the many is that we would be very alert of our inner processes that they be correct. Because if our thought and feeling are correct then our word will naturally be that way too.


Another thing is that what we say we will be responsible for the effects that they unfold. Another one is to not contradict our word. Another one is that we would take care that our spelling and grammar and way of speaking is correct so as to give a clear as possible protrayal of what we really mean and that it is receved clearly as well.


As we will also see the consequences that our word will unfold for ourselves and for others, responsiblilty of our word calls forsigfht into action. I mean to be responsible for our word we need some ability to look into the future to see what our words will unfold. If we are not happy with what our words could unfold the question naturally arises to ourselves, do we want to be responsible for those difficult consequences?


Responsibility with our word also calls us to correct what we have said if we have made errors.


End (4171).

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...
