It is Tough for the Black Waters to Sacrifice

It is Tough for the Black Waters to Sacrifice - (4993)

The black waters that we all come to the knowledge with make it difficult for us to make sacrifices.

Sacrifices are the engine for anyone's progress in the spiritual field and in any walk of life.

The waters are made black from relating with our sexual energy in an unedifying way. Losing the sexual energy in any way, lust, adultery, using it for egoical purposes (pride, vanity, ambition), surrendering to desire etc. are ways of relating to the sexual energy that make it black.

The reason why this is, is because the actions that make the waters black do not require any kind of real conscious sacrifice.

When we have the waters black we feel very uncomfortable, irritated, mysteriously fatigued and viscerally upset about making sacrifices, especially those that concern our possible spiritual development.

There are many sacrifices, such as sacrifice our pain, our suffering, our egos and their desires as well as physical and psychological comforts etc. etc., that the black waters do not allow us to make.

To whiten the waters takes sacrifice and they are the result of sacrificing desire, laziness, many "I's" from previous sexualities, habits, ways of thinking and feeling, impressions and several other things that vary from individual to individual...

As the waters become more lighter or more refined we become more comfortable with making sacrifices.

Those who have whitened waters make sacrifices for the work and for the work of others with a certain happiness and calmness.

With sacrifice we help to whiten our waters and whitening our waters makes sacrifice easier. The more refined our mercury the more powerful it is.

That is why those on the path can make greater and greater sacrifices as the path itself calls for more and more, while at the same time the path refines more and more our mercury or waters.

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...
