Locked and Isolated Packets of Will

Locked and Isolated Packets of Will - (5322)

We can find it hard to deal with our own locked up isolated packets of will, that is the will trapped in the "I's".

It is good to know that there are within our interior, packets of will that act in an almost autonomous way. Because then we know what is going on inside of ourselves and what we are facing and why it is so difficult. We also how to deal with them. We also then know that our job is to eventually dissolve them into the rest of our free will.

For one, it is difficult to penetrate into. If only we can penetrate into it could we then modify it from inside.

All that we can do to start with, is to use the amount of will that we have free to not allow the trapped will to express especially if it is inconvenient in the moment.

We need our consciousness to penetrate into it, to understand it and we need to keep using our will to do the opposite of it, until it weakens, however unpleasant it is for us.

This is where faith comes in. We have to have faith that even though as unpleasant as it is doing to the opposite, it will get easier and easier and we will feel great once that "I" it is very weak. We will really enjoy our new freedom that is going to come out of our efforts.

Faith is the value that motivates us and sustains in this task. It is a great strength that also overcomes our laziness to try and keep trying.

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...
