Strong Foundation is the Most Important

Strong Foundation is the Most Important - (4538)

The foundation we set for ourselves in the beginning is the most important determining factor for our future.

Laying down the correct foundation is the best help that we can give ourselves.

We actually lay down several foundations for ourselves in the course of work.

Every relationship is based upon certain foundations that we bring or lay down.

We lay down our foundation as a student then later a teacher and then later as someone who is to walk the path.

For some reason we can lay down a somewhat weak foundation. In the future we will reap the effects of a weak foundation. It is good to know that we can repair and strengthen that weak foundation. But of course with much greater effort than if we would have laid down the strong foundation in the beginning.

A strong foundation is a correct foundation. A weak foundation is the incorrect foundation.

The thing to note about a weak foundation in the work is that it converts into many recurrent mistakes which often worsen as time passes.

It is helpful to note down for whatever we are starting - that the best help we can give to ourselves for the new work or endevour that we are embarking on is to lay down the correct strong foundation.

The work to establish a strong foundation is the hardest and most costly but it pays back so handsomely. It is best investment and it is well worth putting in the effort to lay down a strong foundation. It saves so much time and pain or inconvenience in the future.

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...
