Respect Won and Lost

Respect Won and Lost - (4473)

Respect is something that is won and lost. Respect is also something to a certain level that is given.

The given basic level of respect always remains unless one's it is because of one's karma that it is not given for a period of time.

The extra level of respect is one that is won and lost. It is often this extra level of respect that is not seen by everyone.

For example Master Samael was a man and someone off the street would treat him as an equal. But someone in the Gnostic teachings would treat him with great respect much more than the person off the street.

This extra respect is real, as Master Samael had been working for years to deserve that and the only difference is that the Gnostic student can see that, but the man off the street being asleep does not see that. This is a extra bit of respect is universal. All who awaken will see and feel the same respect. Because if the man off the street began to work on himself he would then see Master Samael's work and then respect him also.

The respect that a crime boss has is one due to fear, a conditioned respect. If we look at this example of conditioned respect from a universal perspective we see that we can't really give such a person that extra bit of respect because such a person does not respect others with such organized crime.

Anyway we can win or lose this extra bit of respect with our actions alone!

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...
