We Only Ever Really Die in the Relative Good of Things - (5283)

We only ever die in what's relatively good. 


What any ego likes is 'good' to it. What the ego desires is the 'good' to it.


Because there is a relative good that 'good' is an evil for someone else.


These relative 'goods' end up destroying what we love and try to protect.


A father thinks it is good that things in his home are in order, and to maintain order he will use certain means, with the most common being anger. As it is good that there is order in his home, he will never think of dying in anger yet alone the need for order. Later in time his strict adherence to order and his anger to maintain it, will destroy the home where his wife and children leave him to be alone to be his 'order'.


We need to open ourselves up and educate ourselves to die in the 'good'. Becasue we will NEVER DIE! Why we don't even suspect we need to die in something - because it is 'good' and why should we die to what is apparently 'good' and 'correct' or 'right'. 


If we look into our lives we will see we are upholding a perceived 'good' but because it is the ego in us wanting that 'good' we can only uphold it with anger, control, offence, insult etc.


We need to die in the 'good'. The first step is to see that that 'good' is relative and for others it is negative and the 'good' that it wants it is not achieving.


The ego never gets the genuine value from others that it talks about wanting to receive, it only wants to receive what it wants to see. It does not love and does not want to understand that the love that we want to feel or the ego wants to feel is to not ever be received but given. As soon as we give it we have it, because we have given it to ourselves. The love we want is the love we have to give to ourselves.


End (5283).

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...
