Lessons of Boundaries

Lessons of Boundaries - (4500)

There are basically two lessons that I think everyone learns from boundaries.

One is that we learn to create some boundaries and to do that we have to learn to say 'no', 'stop', 'I need to rest', 'I need to get back to work' etc. while setting boundaries. These boundaries are to allow ourselves to do the things that we need to do and if we don't do them things in our life run out of control.

Then there is the lesson where we need to learn how to surpass our 'natural' boundaries which are often put in place by our selfishness, pride, laziness etc.

We need both lessons to be complete. Some people are very good at the 'no' boundaries and others are really good at surpassing the boundaries of their comfort zones to help others for example. Some people are good at both but this is quite rare. Though we have to become that rare species - which is what Jesus, Master Samael and so many others showed us in many ways that they had incarnated both lessons.

At the end of the day both lessons are to say 'yes'. Read on...

We learn both lessons when we have defined ourselves to work for our inner Beings. Because to say 'no' to life setting boundaries is to say 'yes' to the work, the path and the Inner Being.

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...
