Origin of the Values is Unity - (4773)

All the virtues and values of the Being, such as love, hope, faith and compassion, all come from the ONE, from the unity, which is the BEING. 


This is because the Being is the ONE, the Being is UNITY, the Being comes from the UNITY and is one with the UNITY, and within the Being there is also unity.


A simple example, is that at one moment we are so stuck in our individual, particular personality, that is our culture, religion, nationality, that we reject, disdain and even despise others who have a different culture, nationality and religion. Then out of some fortuitous circumstance we experience we see that we are the same, we are one, then compassion, love, kindness is born towards others. When we see that we as do they, suffer, cry and bleed red blood, and have parents, children and friends that they love as do we, the nobility in our spirit springs forth.


It is the perception of unity, of oneness that causes the noble values of the spirit to surge forth...




Karma is always there to remind us of that unity. To do to others is to do to ourselves.


As soon as you see yourself the same as others, that your pain is equal to theirs, a noble value of one type or another will surge from the depth of your Being to your emotional centre that will and move you to benevolent action towards the other.


Only in a state of consciousness that is closer to the unity can we truly love and happily tolerate others with all their differences...


To be stuck in individual personality and ego is to be far from the unity and to not allow the noble virtues of the spirit to appear.


This is a lesson that we all learn and it shows us, that if we want the values of the spirit to come out we need to perceive and see with unity, and let go, or even better, see far past individual differences.

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...
