Work Photos - Conscious Shocks for Us! - (4689)

Every now and then as a real help sent to us, we get sent photos of people from any walk of life behaving really well or really badly.


These photos are to help us in our psychological work.


They are sent to give us a conscious chock!


If they are a photo of someone acting really well - they show us what to do in the situations where we are finding coping difficult.


If the photos are of bad behavior it is to shock us - letting us know that if we keep going we will go to that extent. 


The solution to honour both forms of helps is to work in psychological death. Die in that defect!


I once expressed anger while driving, then a week later behind me while driving (using the rear-vision mirror) I saw a man in the same situation as I was in when I got angry. He was getting agitated but was visibly making efforts to remain calm and he did - he drive normally for the time that I could see. A week later I witnessed a man dressed in office attire yelling with angry sarcasm for way too long at a man driving a Tesla who was blocking his bus from reaching the stop. People on the street were trying to figure out what was going on and a definite spectacle was happening. I started to wonder if that man was really mentally ok? He certainly was dressed if he were ok - but who knows right?


The below chart is good to use as a psychological inventory. Take stock of all the defects and virtues we actually have and do not have.

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...
