The Wrong Strength - (3491)

Introduction

There are so many people that are strong and have made themselves strong which is good, especially if that strength is the conscious or awakened strength.


There is also an unconscious strength which is the strength of the ego, based in ill-will. The power of will is always strong. Good will and ill-will are both strong... 


The unconscious or egoical strength, creates a lot of imbalance within a person with serious consequences inside and outside.


The unconscious use of strength unaware of the better or conscious use of strength and so creates problems for others, with the end result being that nobody really likes the person. There may be just a few people that can tolerate the person, but in small doses only.


In life, the strong go places, yet only a few in society like them. Life beats down hard on the weak, yet society tends to favour and like the weak... 


The best is to be neither of these two: strong or weak, but something different, that is someone who is inwardly strong...


The inwardly strong person is the one who sets up a beautiful outer balance with good relationships, and inside of him or her, there is the dominant presence of what should really be governing inside of each human being - the awakened essence and its principles.


Until the awakened essence appears within - the work on oneself must govern.

Egoical Strength

People wanting to be strong and come out on top in life, in the end, result to using ill-will and violence. If a person uses ill-will and violence they become ill-willed and violent in nature which leads nowhere good.


Remember there is violence in our mind, our words and in our actions. Violence is not only in our actions...


We can create in time and through many human experiences, a strong ill-will, because we have seen that it is useful. We have learnt that ill-will is always strong and it makes us strong and even stronger than most opponents. It is a sure fire way to come out on top - bring out our strong ill-will and we will win. 


We resort to ill-will because our value system is geared up to physically win, that is to be on top as far as physical matters and issues are concerned. We do not value the inner winning which is to hold up on high within ourselves the inner qualities of the Inner Being. To do this is really inner strength.


Inner Strength

As soon as we start to value the strength of the Inner Being, which is the strength to uphold the virtues, to trust in the power of the virtues and to know that coming out on top within us, is the most important, then we will stop resorting to ill-will and violence. 


To let go of ill-will and violence can only be done by valuing this inner strength. Which means to value the strength of the Inner Being and to will with all our heart for the the Inner Being to triumph through us. 


When we let go of ill-will and violence we result to the strength of the Inner Being which is not violent but is kind, wise, true and just.

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...
