Win the Heart not the Mind - (4552)

Life in some way or another is about wining or earning our place. I think we all know this at subconscious or conscious level.


Sometimes we don't need to win or earn any place, it is given and sometimes rightly so, it isn't, we must earnt it. For example, we don't graduate from medical school and straight away take up the post of head of surgery. 


People knowing that they have to win a place, try to win a place by using two ways. There are many ways but they all come under these two ways which are: winning people's minds or winning people's hearts.


People who try by winning people's minds do so by arguing, protesting, bringing contradictions and apparent unfairness to light, attacking what is currently in place and by presenting the logical and often by applying a bit of coercion to force the logical (which can be the logical seen by all and sometimes it is just their 'logical').


These people take this way because they are mostly all mind themselves. They lack heart because vested interests hiding in their mind prevent them from using their heart, or they just have not developed their heart before.


Their main goal is to convince others why they should be there but not being what is really needed in their consciousness to be there.


Vested interests such as ambition, which often win something only for the sake of it and leave it later... because they have proved to themselves that they are good enough.


What people really want is to have their heart 'won'. Having the mind won is 'dime a dozen' as every sales person, TV, magazine and internet advertisement does that.


Then there are people who try to win the hearts of others. This can only really by done by the heart itself. By what is true. For the love of it, not for the desire or false need for it.


People know the heart is true and the mind is not. The mind can present the truth, the logical but the heart is the logical and is the truth. 


The heart is noble and kind, people know that. People know that the mind is cold and calculating. People know that the mind can be brilliant but the person with the brilliant mind can be rotten: 'intellectual rascal".


People trust the heart but not the mind. People want to give a place to others that are from the heart, that have trust, that have love, that are noble. Not to those that are all mind and are cold, tough, inflexible, argumentative, all rules and controlling. 


The mind does not pass the tests of the heart...


People know the mind leaves things and the heart stays and embellishes...


The heart has the power to hangs in there and overcome the difficulties... As soon as the mind can not see a solution it crashes...


Which person would something to someone who is all from the mind as opposed to someone who is all from the heart? You wouldn't would you? I don't think so.


In life there those that are like 'masters of the mind' yet they are not masters of the soul or the spirit or even of human ethics and noble emotion. Master Samael said that black magicians are those that are really masters of the mind. They are very logical, astute, convincing, speak beautifully about the noble virtues yet they have nothing of heart.

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...
