Value of Love Notes - (4987)

It is not easy, to really and truly develop love, because it means to come to love that which we dislike or even despise.


The power of love is the ability to transform the worst thing, which is hatred into the best thing - love.


To love that which we like is easy and is not really a test of love. It does not develop love in the fullest and strongest sense.


We typically love through the conditions we place on others which they must fulfill for us to be able to love. 


We don't love others as they are, we love others because they match or line up with certain conditions that we have about love. These conditions are always good and noble conditions - but they are still conditions.


Conditions it seems, displace love.


In many cases we end up finding that we love ourselves through our noble conditions instead of actually loving others.


To love is to be outside of ourselves (mind, past, memory, associations, concepts, prejudices, egos, personality) and that is not something easy to do at times. It can be very challenging.


Yet there is balance, our spiritual work needs conditions to be successful. 


All the masters love the essence and the Monad. Not our personalities, our egos or our behaviours. We can't forget that, remembering that, helps us to understand their love towards us. 


The intelligence of love inspires us to adapt love for others to help them according to where they are at. Knowing what they want and what their essence in its stage of development shows us that it needs.


Love is universal, we can't only love those who do the work on themselves. Love loves all others, yet love knows how to love them. We love others in the work a little differently to those who are not doing the work. Yet the essence of love is there to help... 


Love is wise...


To develop love is a prodigy of conscious will. Anyone who has developed some love for something that they didn't like has performed a miracle within themselves.

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...
