Compartmentalise Problems

Compartmentalise Problems - (4959)

We have to learn how to solve problems, and while a problem is being solved we have to learn how to compartmentalise them.

By that I mean to give them a time and a space to solve them and not let them permeate all the areas of our life.

Our troubles begin when we allow an unsolved problem to become a worry that then invades every moment of our life.

When that happens we begin to get 'dragged down'...

If being 'dragged down' persists, we become depressed as the feelings of hopelessness set in, or either we become increasingly frustrated and angry, which is no good for others, and no good for our health.

If we can, as Gnosis says, forget our problems so as to solve them, we are going to be pretty ok.

Gnosis says to forget problems is the way, in the sense of our mind forgetting them and not thinking anymore about them. This is because thinking about them does not help to solve them.

Gnosis says that while we have forgotten a problem our consciousness can reveal to us a solution.

While we are waiting for our consciousness to reveal a solution we need to compartmentalise our problems. Do not bring them into every moment and do not bring them into your marriage, even if the problem concerns your marriage, do not bring them to work, nor to visits with to friends, nor to sleep at night, nor to conversations and especially not to our overall background as our state of well-being will be affected...

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...
