Role of the Wheel of Samsara - (5347)

The Itoklanos Principle is the principle which places human beings on the wheel of Samsara. When the human being fell in Lemuria, the human being was transferred from the Fulasnitamnian principle to the Itoklanos Principle.


In other words, from being free of the great wheel to being subjected to it along with all of its transmigrations. 


A characteristic of these two principles as master Samael explains, is that under the Itoklanos principle human beings repeat the same error time and time again, until learning the lesson, while under the Fulasnitamnian principle any error is only made once.


The Itoklanos principle governs so much of human life, from the great things in life involving thousands of people to the small details of life. All of life is about making errors over and over until we learn. This is essentially how we all learn and become 'wise'.


"An error is made, what is worse is to persist in the same when we know better." 


Just to emphasis the main point: in coming under the Itoklanos principle the essence is subject to the condition of having to repeat the same error numerous times until learning the lesson. This is essentially the wheel of Samsara. The essence has to have several hundred lives in each kingdom to learn the lessons of life.


It turns out that these lessons of life are all preparations for the essence to be able to return to its original condition before the fall, that is, being free from the wheel of Samsara.


The role of the wheel of Samsara is to provide the experiences of life in creation through shear repetition, so that they enter the consciousness, ready to be brought to maturity and learnt as a human being so that the these learnt lessons can then fire the yearning to self-realise, and support the work towards self-realisation.

 

I believe we all carry experiences in our consciousness from the many lives and turns on the wheel of Samsara that are right now are sustaining us in our work from deep within our consciousness. 


I also believe that there are many semi-learnt lessons from the wheel of Samsara that are ready to be brought into the light of  our consciousness so as to be fully learnt.  


In the last life what is in front of you is death and the Law. We need a good relationship with these two factors to negotiate a different destiny.


It is said that the essence knows that she is in the abyss involuting, and when the evolution process begins while being a mineral, the essence still remembers that it is evoluting but when reaching animal form, the essence starts to forget and enters the human kingdom without recollection or awareness of having completed one turn of the great wheel of Samsara.

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...
