The Curious Destiny of Objects - (4820)

Observations

Just some observations and reflections on where some of life's objects end up and why.


From where some objects end up it is seems that objects too have a destiny...


Destinies

I've seen very ordinary objects designed for ordinary places end up in special places. One example, is a Sony alarm clock radio given as a birthday present from father to son, to then after several years of sitting on a bed side table to end up displaying the time in a temple.


I've seen very sacred and precious objects, one consecrated by the Master himself, been accidentally left behind and never found again. Hopefully the current of life landed them in the hands of someone appreciative and worthy.


I've seen items that have served the 'Great Cause" for many years end up going to rubbish tip or whose ownership has been taken over by others not working for the "Great Cause of the Father".


I've seen items so prized and cared for, thrown in a skip bin after the owner's funeral.



I've seen prized and cherished items inherited by those who genuinely valued them and I've also seen prized and expensive items given to those who have no appreciation or value for them.


I've seen items whose owner swore to never give them to a certain type of person, and after their death that is exactly where they went - all by chance or fate (?) it seemed.


There have been even items that have been used to commit terrible crimes. The classical 'murder weapon'. Why those items and why that item in particular.


Some items end up in a museum, others are lost to the bottom of the sea, others discovered by 'chance' and consequently changed the thinking of thousands of people. 


Others discovered and kept secret, others discovered and thrown away or destroyed out of ignorance.


Other objects used not for what they were made for.


Other objects such as the Holy Grail and the lance of Longinus said to wield great power lost over the centuries to resurface and become lost again and to become the most sought after relics of humanity.


Just on that point of the Holy Grail there are certainly objects that are tied to the destiny of humanity. They either served as catalysts for great life changing events or were destined to be part of the great events that changed history for ever.


The mystery of it all is why those objects? They are representations of the Divine forces perhaps or Divine forces infused in them their power?


End (4820).

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...
