Training Makes Energy Available - (3567)

Training in any area slowly causes channels of energy to be opened so that energy can flow to the parts of our system that fulfill the function we are training for.


For example, to be able to swim a mile in the ocean is not possible at the beginning, but with training it becomes possible. The energy we have in the beginning is that same as the energy we have after training, the major difference is that energy has been made available. 


The process of training slowly directs energy to the task and slowly makes a channel for energy to flow. 
As training continues the mind also sees that the task is possible and other forces of our system which were not initially available become available.


Some of these forces are conscious faith and trust. 


We always have more or less the same amount of energy available it is just that our system does not have the channels open to direct the energy required.




Of course there is also that of building up the the strength and fitness in the muscles to be able to perform the task.


In emergency situations we see that our system opens the channels for a large amount of energy to flow and we do amazing things far beyond our apparent normal capacities. The reason is this, that certain channels that are normally closed were opened up by the consciousness or instinctive centre beyond the  control of the mind.


The training that interests us the most, is the training of the mind and consciousness. The more we train the mind and our attention, the more energy becomes available to us to be able to sustain attention and further study the mind.

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...
