Notes

No doubt that finding a true esoteric school of awakening is the most important and transcendental thing that can happen in the life of a person. It is a most impactful and life changing event.


If it is the most important it is also the saddest event when a true esoteric school is abandoned.


Life without a school is a series of accidents, comedies, tragedies and dramas.


The most important requirement of the school is to be true to yourself.


Each school has a teacher and students, objectives and methods to achieve those esoteric objectives of awakening and liberating the essence so that the Spirit of man can incarnate.



Each esoteric school teaches what awakening is and how to achieve it.


The school grows as its members grow. Undoubtedly the school leaves behind those that grow too slowly and those that grow too quickly can outgrow the school. 


Each school has the duty to spread the knowledge and methods of awakening.


The students do not establish the rules of awakening. They have long been established. We are all guests to the journey to awakening. 


The esoteric schools are like the soul of humanity. 


The school forms a third force, which is the force of the collective. The first two forces are the teacher and the students. The third forces acts to benefit all members even the teacher.


In a school we learn to yield to a higher will. The higher will being the will of the spirit of each member of the school to awaken. In normal life there is no higher will only the will to satisfy egotistical desire. 


A school fulfills the ray of creation in that it brings the light to awaken to creation and helps creation in the form of human beings to return through the ray of creation back to its origin. We fulfil the work of the Ray of Creation when we work for a goal higher than ourselves.


A school is the ideal place where Influence C can do its work. Influence C is rare and for it to be effective it needs the right setting. Influence C is a celestial influence of the illuminated beings to help us to awaken.


It is really more the duty of the students to care for and maintain the school. This is true as the school is more for them.


Each school creates new conscious knowledge. As conscious teachings continuously transform themselves.


A school is where friction and a gymnasium develops for each member to study and overcome their defects. The school helps each member to learn practically how to transform suffering.


Each school in the end exist to be transcended, That is our ultimate goal - to transcend the school.


A school concentrates the awakening and this concentration allows the light and force of the school to spread to benefit others.


The Law of a School is that it advances at the pace of its fastest student not the slowest. It is as strong as the weakest link and higher level must serve the lower.


In a school we advance the most by doing the exercises that we dislike the most.


Esoteric schools when working correctly always profit. Because they work to transform all adverse events allowing them to profit from everything. The spirit of the school is based on the willingness and capacity to transform all sufferings and hardships - including members leaving.


The teacher teaches by being the words that he or she speak. There must be respect for the teacher and the right attitude to the teacher so as to best make use of him/her as a bridge to higher states of consciousness and learning.


In every school there is an outer and inner circle. The outer circle strives to enter the inner circle. The inner circle must work harder and more than the outer circle. The inner circle is entered based on merit and the genuine yearning to be there.


There are three lines of work in a school:



We must work in each line in balance. We start only being able to work in the first line at the beginning. Later one we learn how to be able to work for the third line which is to work for the teacher, school and the progress of the school's work.

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...
