No One Can Take Your Love Away

No One Can Take Your Love Away - (5066)

The love you carry within you is inside of you. No one can get inside of us and diminish that love.

This can only happen if we listen to what others say and then we ourselves diminish it. No one else diminishes it.

Others try to convince us to diminish it, if that love for something or someone is not convenient for their interests. But it only diminishes when we ourselves do it.

We are always responsible for it and in control of our love that we carry inside.

We should always allow love to flow even if it is not reciprocated because if we stop the flow of love inside of us we will feel miserable very soon.

We get angry when others insult us because we feel it lowers the love that we lave for ourselves. But that is an illusion of the "I". It is really untouched. How can it be affected when it is inside of us?

We get angry really at ourselves for allowing the words or actions of others towards ourselves to lower the love we feel for ourselves which includes our essence and our Inner Being.

We must be alert and aware when words, gestures or actions come to us that we must maintain that beautiful hold on the love we have inside. We do this by knowing clearly that it can not be affected by others only by ourselves and keep that love flowing towards our essence and the other. Remembering to stop the flow harms us.

Doing the above magically frees us from the egos of others. When we drop the love in us we ask the other person: "Why did you say that?" "What are you thinking? etc. etc.

We may think it is unjust to not get angry at the other person. It is unjust to get angry at them because they didn't drop our love only we can do that. We should get angry at ourselves for doing that to ourselves.

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...
