Don't Love your Concepts and your Way Too Much

Don't Love your Concepts and your Way Too Much - (4549)

Love Affair with Our Concepts = Upset

There is really so much self-love to do with our concepts and ways of thinking and feeling about things. There is also so much self-love about our ways of doing things.

What keeps us attached to our own concepts about things is a kind of a love affair with them and ourselves.

We must love our Being and ourselves as an essence of a Divine Monad but to love our concepts that are not Divine in nature and could well be erroneous or are just as good as the concepts of others, does not make much sense.

Yet we are truly in love with our concepts...

The proof is that we get upset and angry and fight over our concepts when they are challenged, and furthermore we feel that things should all go in accordance with our concepts so that our concepts are 'pleased'.

Wrong concept little buddy - big green is not always equal to big orange.

Conclusion

The conclusion is to work to detach ourselves from our very own concepts. This is freedom and so useful in practical life. It also does not mean we are any less or that we are going to disappear or become weak and ineffective.

The essence does not have concepts. It does not depend on concepts and it is shines more powerfully even without concepts. Each concept is a bottle or jail for the essence.

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...
