About Stopping Lies - (4295)

I don't think we need to read about what they are. We just need to know about how to stop them.


What helps is to trust in the truth. We over time develop the belief that to lie saves our skin and keeps us out of trouble. 


Over time we come to trust in lies that they can get us out of trouble and prevent us from getting into trouble. But what we ignore is that lies bring more trouble when found out and anything built on a lie will crumble. 


A kind of inversion takes place where we trust in the power of the lie and distrust in the power of truth. Where reality tells us that it should be the reverse. That is trust in the power of the truth and distrust in lies.


We find lies useful, and so naturally we use lies and as we use them we create a habit.


We lie to others and to ourselves.


The lies to others are often done knowingly. However they may not be done knowingly after a person has become habituated to lying over many years where lying becomes a way of getting through life.


Lies to ourselves are often done unknowingly.


Each ego lies to ourselves. Our mind very often lies to us. It is up to us to notice and then not accept these lies.


We lie mainly due to some egoic vested interest. Most of these egoic interests are related to fear. We fear to lose some kind of well-being or peace or dignity or reputation or status, money, social standing, position in a company or group etc. etc.


Usually people have something to hide or cover up and so they lie. Or people just want to avoid conflict so they lie or don't say anything so that conflict does not arise. But often it does lead to conflict and it is worse in the end then not having said anything.  


So trusting that it is ok that people know about what we are doing or wanting to do. Often people appreciate openness and in being open we make ourselves more conscious of what we are doing, as we can't explain anything that does not have solid reason ethical reason behind it. Or either we should not do anything that needs to be covered up.

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...
