Finding a Way to Work During the Day

Finding a Way to Work During the Day - (5622)

A Good Start

To have a more conscious day is very important for our work! A conscious day is where we can do some inner work.

A good way to start is to start with: Passive Personality.

To do this be quiet. When we have to speak, speak with our personality passive.

We can have an active or a passively active personality. Whatever our personality, make it passive. Do this by saving words and speaking correctness in both content and tone.

Doing this saves lots of energy, makes our mind quiet and does not bring the ego so easily. Giving us vital time and space to work within ourselves.

Pay a Price

To have a conscious day there is always a price it seems. The price is to sacrifice the first few egoic reactions of the day.

It hurts to do that, but that is the price. When we want to react and say this or that, hold our tongue and feel the burn for a few minutes and then we will have entered our chance to have a conscious day.

It always better to sacrifice the egoic reactions. The two or three minutes suffering makes us feel that it is not better but it is better. We all know this.

Relax, Accept the Day and Attention Here and Now

The rest follows. Keep relaxing and bringing our attention to the moment. To help us do this, accept profoundly that this is our day, we have to do this and that and I am with this and that person and that's my day and the work on myself has to happen within the course of that day.

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...
