Loyalty and Merits of the Heart for the Path - (4401)

What we need is merits of the heart for the path.


Many ways do we earn the merits of the heart. They are the merit we get when we give of our heart.


Working and doing from the heart opens the heart of others and allows to win or enter the heart of others.


No doubt this how a leader wins the heart of the people. This is how a master wins the heart of his or her disciples and vice versa.


The heart operating makes courage, trust, love, conviction, strength, loyalty all shine and that goes directly to the heart of others. 


Often to be honest the effort of the heart breaks the balance in the positive way and breaking the balance for a transcendent cause, causes a superior law to enter into action and then the merits of the heart can be  accumulated. 


Balance in the thrid factor would be to give talks to people including the public and students who have been studying Gnosis for a while already for three hours then draw the line. Then go and meditiate or practice Alchemy etc. But when we go with love in our heart and break that balance and work in the third factor for five houras sacrificing for others we enable a suerior hidden law which then earns us merit of the heart, which is gold.


Loyalty in common life does not pay off too much. Being loyal to one's self pays more. For example at work these days people are not loyal to a company they quit and go with who ever offers the best pay or work conditions nad staying loyal to a company that pays less does not get one's mortage paid so we have to go with the better offer. This way of thinking on the path does not allow one to win merit quickly...  


In the path being loyal to your guide, teacher, instructor or missionary offers much more merit of the heart then following what people do in life which would be to change teachers, instuctor for another apparently better one. They have actually activated the merits of the heart because they put loyalty and service above factors such as ambition, impatience and selfishness. Which is already a huge win for the path.    


Through loyalty one gets all that one yearns for in time. It falls onto one. Because loyalty activates the heart and is the merit of the heart which is a high currency to pay for spiritual things. Loyalty often implies much sacrifice because for loyalty one sacrifice many desires which can be right or within our rights.


Loyalty and service go together. Jesus said that the greatest person is the one who serves the most.


End (4401).

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...
