We are not Perfect but Defective - Align to Reality - (4812)

We must deeply know that we have much to correct within ourselves.


Then, as a logic consequence, we must know that our flaws will show up. At least some day they will show. 


Some event, some set of circumstances will one day bring our flaws into the light for others to see, including us (if we want to see - usually we don't).


We must then understand that when our flaws show up, others will see them and those who see them are at liberty to tell us about them especially if our flaws adversely affect them.


We after all would do the same wouldn't we.


The issue really is that we know we have flaws but we don't want others to tell us about them. We really take offence.


This offence is a part of our personality, where there is a unspoken agreement to not judge and criticize others. Though no one adheres properly to this agreement. We only adhere to some side of it - not wanting to be criticized while we criticize others freely.


This sleeping condition where we don't want to see our flaws is something that we have to dissolve if we want to in truth correct our flaws.


We know that we are changing in when we are truly happy to hear about our flaws because we know that a discovered flaw means a flaw no-more.


If we think we have no flaws that means that we want to be perfect. Doesn't it?


We have to understand that flawlessness requires lots of work. As a gymnast's flawless routine requires hundreds of hours of rigorous training and practice.


So if we want to be perfect we should know that it means to be work a lot, and so we should not get angry about our flaws being exposed and having to work on them should we? No not at all! 


But we typically get angry - why then? Because some ego wants to be perfect but not work for it! A dreaming "I" it really is.


We can really help ourselves by contrasting our unrealistic dreaming psychology with the realities of life and use that truth to dissolve it.


End (4812).

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...
