Virtue of Beauty - (5080)

Beauty is a virtue, but one not understood all that well. True too, we are all attracted to beauty.


Those men and women who walk down the cat walks and are the cover magazines and play the main roles in romantic comedies are not really beautiful...


The true virtue of beauty is something of the soul. It is the light that shines from the nobility of the soul. It is the harmony of thought, feeling and action that radiates from the essence of any person that has an organised psyche and can express the eternal values of their Inner Being.


From this point of view even the physically ugliest person can be beautiful because of the high degree of values and clear outward expression of those values.



Any act of kindness and love is beautiful. In fact all the virtues of the soul in action are beautiful. They all move and inspire us which is what beauty does.


God can only be beautiful. As in the past all the Gods were depicted with great beauty.


Back hundreds of years again when things were different to now, the law of correspondence worked accurately where the inside and the outside corresponded to each other. Now the inside and outside do not often correspond. Now days we can not trust that a beautiful physical body equates to a beautiful interior rich in the perennial values of the soul.



Afterall what benefit would it bring to be next to someone so physically handsome or attractive yet they only utter disdain and spite and very little of what they say and do has love, compassion, justice or truth in it? None right. 


A good sign to know that we are changing  is when we no longer give physical beauty any importance, we only see and look for the beauty of the interior and we in our own work strive for the beauty of our interior to manifest in all our words and actions.


End (5080).

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...
