Love as a Value - (5343)

Post Revised: 12/02/2024

I think the best start to this work of cultivating love as a value is to start by using love to work on the heavily negative egos that affect others.


To use love to work on anger. To use love to work on pride and resentment. To use love to dissolve the hurt and angry self-love and self-importance etc. To use love for our Inner Being to climb out of the hole of self-compassion.


I say respectfully if we use love this way we are on the right track.


Love is very tricky. We can not define it. as soon as we do we fall into error.


There are so many ways to love, however we only see and accept one way based on our ideas and concepts we have of love.


Because of these concepts and ideas of love we can't see love. The mind as Master Samael says kills love. 


We can use love to come out of our concepts. Use love to let go of our concepts. 


Many times, parents discover that to love their children they have to let go of their concepts and accept them as they are. After sometimes many painful years they come to understand, that staying stuck in their own concepts of what is best for the child comes at the cost of failing in love and falling out of love for their child.


Not everyone will love us. There will always be some who will hate us.
As Jonny Cash says, hopefully it is the right people that will hate us.
The "I's" hate us when we do the work.


Everyone basically sees love the way they want to be loved or the way they want to give it... 


There is really love in others whom we think have no love...


We can only see love when we expand our consciousness outside of so many bottles. 



In practice the best is to not hold onto any view point of love. Be so very open and then we will find it is easier to love.


Love is ontological, faith is causal and hope is emotional, m.m.m says.


End (5343).

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...
