Compensating for Psychological Imbalance - (4179)

Psychological balance rules so much of our lives.


We are always engaged in some sort of psychological balance seeking activity.


When something no matter how small or big happens to us, our psychological balance is affected. 


When we are unable to immediately return to balance within ourselves, we strongly tend to quickly go outside of ourselves to seek that psychological balance.


For example, we may receive criticism which surpasses our concept of what is constructive, and so we feel unfairly treated and inwardly we are out of balance. Unable to balance that inner imbalance, we return fire, until we see the criticising party is somewhat diminished and sorry for their words. As soon as this is happens we feel inwardly balanced again.



That is how we roll, all day and every day.


How to find balance within without having to go outside, is a really good question, and is one that in order to die in certain egos such as pride and anger we need to answer.


Suppressing our outside movements to find balance won't help. It will create more imbalance within, which will implode or explode one day soon.


To find that inner balance within ourselves we need to appeal to higher values within us. These are the actions of comprehending the other person, the action of looking sincerely within to find the truth being presented, the action of staying calm and trusting that the flow of life will bring compensation a little alter on when appropriate, the action of faith in our work to transform it and grow stronger because of it etc. etc.


In conclusion, the crux of this question about inner balance is that to balance ourselves psychologically we need to regain balance via superior psychological values not inferior ones. This way we achieve a stronger balance with a touch more consciousness.

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...
