Ties Between Souls

Ties Between Souls - (5268)

This is a very old post that was left unfinished in draft. I'm decluttering and so I thought it is best to post it.

There really does exist ties or links between souls. We all know this at some level within our consciousness. We basically feel this...

We also know that there are different types of ties or links. Really if we survey the Gnostic doctrine we find many different types of links.

The links that really interest us in Gnosis are the links of an esoteric nature. That is the links that were made through esoteric work and these links carry esoteric values, that is values of the soul. These are strong and endure the test of time.

There are also links that are made in life and through the events of life.

The general way of working of all these links is that 'like' links to 'like'. Soul to soul, heart to heart, ego to ego, personality to personality.

The links of soul to soul are not that of the mutual attraction generated by the senses in the physical world. They are deeper than that. They have their origin in the higher planes, where there are the Monads relating.

These soul to soul links can draw two souls together and bring them into a sharing a destiny.

There are also karmic ties. Where karma ties two essences together for the purposes of completing karmic transactions to do with previous karmic debts. These are more like ties rather than links. Where through the tie, one is more receiving and that other giving the karmic value.

Gnosis also says that three types of marriages exist: karmic, dharmic and conscious/cosmic.

The practical thing for us about this post, is to know that we have links, respect them and work within them to convert them to conscious and high value links.

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...
