Deceptive Gleam For You?

Deceptive Gleam For You? - (4896)

What shines for you with deceptive gleam?

Deceptive gleam means things that shine and seem to indicate the happiness and triumph of the soul, but in reality they do not.

They appear to be representative of something real but in reality represent something else.

I'll give some examples of deceptive gleam.

• A person who owns a Lamborghini is not a God.

• A person with many university degrees may not know everything about him or herself.

• An attractive looking person may not be a good person or a conscious person.

• Having lots of money does not mean you are a good or happy person.

• Being poor does not mean you are a humble or more conscious person.

• Having suffered a lot does not mean you are wise or deserve a praise.

• Having a big house a very expensive shiny wedding ring, constant overseas trips does not you have a happy marriage.

• Occupying a powerful position does not mean that the person has power over his or her own egos.

• A very muscly and fit person is one that may not be strong psychologically.

The list can go on and on...

Of course none of these examples may apply but at least the concept has been conveyed and we now have enough of a guide to find out in our particular worlds what shines for us with deceptive glean.

We must know that what shines for us with deceptive gleam is that which we one day, with our own consciousness, must clear from our way.

These things are removed naturally when our consciousness discovers the deception.

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...
