Dark Light of Concepts - (5658)

The worst concepts for someone working on themselves are the spiritual related concepts.

The spiritual related concepts create a lot of obstacles for us.

The absence of spiritual related concepts will make our work quicker, of higher quality and save us from inumbnerable disappointments.

The spiritual related concepts are mostly about people both people doing and not doing the esoteric work. It is also those people that break our concepts. 

Concepts limit of our abilities and happiness. Because of concepts we can only be happy in a small avenue where our concepts agree.

Concepts make the mind rigid - that is black and white. The mind sees white what agrees with its concepts and black with what disagrees.

When face with black and white, the only response available to a mind conditioned by concepts is to protest to change what is in favour of the concept or escape to find somewhere else that agrees with the concepts.

We rarely accept that we have concepts. We in fact don't know that we have a concept about 'this and that'.

We only can know that we have a concept about 'this or that' when that concepts suffers or gets broken.

Because of the suffering we have the opportunity to protest or escape or understand that we have a concept.

When a concept breaks and we do not work to comprehend the situation, negativity in the forms of disappointment, skepticism, doubt, confusion and rejection creeps in.

Each concept contains a kind of light. When we see the world or ourselves through a concept we are seeing with the light of that concept. If that concept be negative we are perceiving in a negative light.

The steps are to:
1.) Know our concept has been broken. 
2.) Accept that a concept has been broken, which is different to just know. 
3.) Accept the reality. 
4.) Work to comprehend. 

Because of a concept we may not work on ourselves related to 'something' and we may become very negative towards that 'something' because our concepts sees it as 'bad'. 

If we just didn't have a concept about that 'something' we would work on ourselves and transcend through solid comprehension the issue of that 'something'..

Concepts take us to good and evil, good and bad and make us very trapped in duality.

The tough thing is that we don't accept we have concepts. We want things and we don't know they come from a concept.

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...
