Stop Time - (4505)

To put it simply, there is objective and subjective time. Objective time is the clock ticking, seconds and minutes passing - the sun rising and the sun setting. Subjective time is our sense of time. Where time seems to pass quickly or time seems to pass slowly and this sense of time is different for each individual.


We really recuperate psychologically when we are able to 'stop time'. That is stop our subjective time, stop our sense of time.


We often stop our sense of subjective time when we pray, when we meditate or when we just go to a cafe', a park, the ocean, relax our centres and reflect or read simply something of a nature that we intuitively feel will help us inwardly - spiritually, an 'EL' for example. 


People seek to 'stop time' and they do this by watching TV, reading, playing games etc. But for people trying to awaken, this is not a useful way to do it. But much better at times then other things...


When we activate our consciousness we 'stop time'. When we are in the present moment we 'stop time'. When we are in deep prayer we 'stop time'. 


The precious thing about 'stopping time' like this is when we do it we recuperate psychologically and also at the level of our essence. The tiredness of the essence goes and we are recharged ready to fight onwards in our awakening and our psychological work.


End (4505).

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...
