Gratitude Notes - (4157)

I respectfully think that gratitude is a quality of our consciousness. I think from experience that when we are truly grateful it is our consciousness expressing it. In general if our consciousness manifests something then it comes from our Inner Being. Gratitude ultimately has its roots in our Inner Being...


When our essence is active it has in its feelings the joy to be alive! In that joy is gratitude. Master Samael said that the feeling of the essence is not far off from the feeling of our Being.


Perhaps in the roots of gratitude is the expression from our Inner Being to the Absolute - the Cosmic Father-Mother for Being present in It and from the Absolute for all the things that the Monads do for It and do in It's name. Then essence is grateful to It's Being for having unfolded It. Gratitude is a great chain of love that links us back to the Absolute!


The below graphic shows us how focusing on the value of gratitude changes our lives. It is very simple yet so effective. Gratitude really as all the values of our Being do, have the power to change us from the inside out!


It seems that we can always benefit from going to gratitude at any point of our life and have our internal state changed right then and there on the spot.

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...
