Things of the Abyss - (4435)

This post is just from a dream I had down there where I was lead to reflect and come to some conclusions which I am going to present tin this post.


The following things are found in the abyss are of an absurd (abyss) nature even though they are not terrible.


Exorbitant Prices 

There is something of the abyss, to charge an exorbitant price for something all because of a name. For example Ferrari manufactures sports cars but say Ferrari produces watches and just because it is Ferrari an exorbitant price is charged for a watch that for all purposes is something quite ordinary, but carries the Ferrari name and logo.


Organ Dealing

I think that one speaks for itself. Trading with the organs of other people. The act of taking them out and transplanting them. Yes I know that organ donation and transplantation has saved many lives. But still it is not something found in nature.


Psychological Maiming of Oneself 

Cutting off one's own natural psychological characteristics is something from the abyss also. We can do it in so many different ways. Even though they may make certain relationships and circumstances easier they only lead to pain later on.


Vanity

The so very obvious fascination with the body in both the person with the body and the people who go into hysterics because of the person's body. The fascination with fashion that produces all kinds of 'mysterious like' looks from different bygone eras and even modern maybe never to happen eras of the future. The vanity of some actors is really obvious and heavy sometimes. 


End (4435).

    Thanks as always for your posts. I am curious what would be an example of psychological maiming? As I read this point, it struck me that the way I approach the death of the ego is a type of cutting off of psychological characteristics, but ones that I know are harmful for myself and those around me.

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...
