Study Cause and Effect

Study Cause and Effect - (4349)

Everything in life is like dominos. One thing effects another and so on. Effects become causes and those causes produce effects and those effects become new causes and so it goes, on an on producing a large network of links.

Those links are the links of cause and effect that link a number of people over a span of time and space.

It has been said that the causal world - the world of natural causes is a world or vast networks where the links of cause and effect can be seen precisely linking millions of human beings over vast spaces and expanses of time.

We can see this long chain of cause and effect in our life...

We may see it actually many times over, maybe every day...

Obviously if it leads to unpleasant or disagreeable circumstances we would one day want to change this for the better. Even perhaps break this chain...

To break this chain we have to examine the chain and see where it all starts. We can break this chain by not allowing it to start, or by stopping the chain while it is going.

So the real point to see is where does the chain start? What do we do wrong? Or what mistake do we make? What are thinking when the chain begins? Does a wrong decison start the chain going? Or is it a lack of will perhpas to action what we know will set get things started on the right foot?

Anyway, it is all quite objective. Because the chain will continue until we actually to remove in a real way the starting point or a link in the chain. When the chain stops we know that we have found the start or removed a link.

In summary, the starting point or a link is all due to an "I". In particular due to our identification with an "I". It is always the same conclusion to satiation I tell myself. Work in mystical death.

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...
