War Makes Love Real

War Makes Love Real - (4394)

There are true horrors in war. No one can deny that or even justify that. As all is dual there are also true acts of love in war. True acts of kindness that stand out to be remembered through out all of time. It is a real paradox that why the conditions of war make those acts of love to be true acts of love...

In what other way could it not be love than to respond to the call of another in distress putting all of us on the line against every fear, selfish interest and instinct of survival. Only war provides the maximum of conditions to prove the deepest love, loyalty...

In so many ways love is proven in the times of war. In so many ways such as: not going to war, as giving your life for that of another, as risking your life for that of another, foregoing food rations for a week for others, in risking your life to find medicine for others, for being tortured to ensure the well-being of your companions and the success of a mission...

There is the God of War. In contemplation it is confusing as to why there even be a God of War. But there are wars and there are wars. Wars for greed, for power, for pride, then wars for justice, for the defense of people and for the spirit... It can only be that the God of War be the one to lend a hand in the wars for the spirit and the wars for justice.

How could there be real love between man and woman in the domestic setting with everything really so available and obtainable with little effort. A modern life, cars with air conditioning and safety features galore, every house appliance... But for the spirit a battle field opens. It is in the battles for the spirit on the path against the different "I's" and negative influences, that the love between man and woman is proven.

Its for sure not the only place where love shines or is proven - the battle field... But it is the only one that can not be mistaken and always shines as real.

A marriage between two 'poor devils' to one day receive the spirit is no doubt a battlefield...

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...
