Karmic Force, Confusion and the Ego - (5041)

Karma comes to us from inside and outside at approximately close to the same time. 


Karma comes to us as waves from inside and outside.


The waves of karma first appear from inside.


When they the waves are welling up from the inside they seem to appear like out of nowhere and from outside even.


The intermediate mind often likes the concept of synchronicity that the timing of the karmic wave is in sync with some external event.


The truth is if we did not have that karm nor that ego there would be no synchronicity.


The forces of karma inside and outside activate with intensity the exact painful egos that have a painful history within them. 


Serenity is often the first casualty. Then the casualties of hope, faith and love follow. Serenity is the virtue most important to not let fall. The virtues behind it can be intelligently used to cause it not to fall. Hope, faith and love can cause it not to fall. 


When the forces of karma come close to us, the confusion begins and when they are upon us the confusion is at its greatest.


Often out of confusion we do the wrong thing or revert back to the same mistaken way. The correct way seems to be obscured.


To survive the karmic wave - an intense state of alertness is required. Stronger than we have ever produced so far.


End (5041).

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...
