Mind Clarity and Impressions Blur

Mind Clarity and Impressions Blur - (4432)

What happens with our mind is that the data from the impressions is what sticks and stays and even rules...

The objective facts don't really stick and stay in our mind. This causes a lot of miscommunications and many problems in practical daily life.

For example, someone says this and that to us and what stays in our mind is that they were angry but we are so blurry and hazy about what they actually said.

What then stays in our mind is the perception that they were angry and then our mind interprets that as a negative response but that is not what they said at all. So we only have clear in our mind that they appeared angry and we have the impression that they didn't like the idea.

Then we arrange, organize and act according to the interpretation that they were angry and we go and cancel this and that causing a big inconvenience annoying and bothering a lot of people. But that was never what that person said to do and it was not their intention.

So goes the sometimes disasterous effects of miscommunications...

Knowing this about our mind we need to be alert to the interpterion of impressions and to really listen.

Transforming impressions is so necessary and practical. Another technique to avoid this is to demand clarity of our mind and then we will make ourselves to look past the wrong interpretation of the impressions.

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...
