Knowing When to Use and Not Use Imagination is CRITICAL! - (5890)

It is so important to know when and when not to use our imagination.

The use of our imagination makes all the difference.

It is our imagination that trips us up and it is our imagination that delivers us success.

We use our imagination negatively when we project mechanically or unconsciously, which is not to our or anyone else's benefit. For example, someone is late, and being worried, we imagine them having had an accident. 

In such cases we should not use imagination, just know that they are late and thgat is it. It stops there. The same thing when we are feeling unpleasant sensations in our body. Feel the sensations but not imagine anything else. 

If we feel the sensations and nothing else, as if we lack imagination, we will help ourselves out so much. We won't activate the emotional cnetre which then activates our insticinvitve centre and the unconscious parts of our physiology, where we lose control and feelings such as panic and nervousness appear, all becasue of the nagative images in our thoughts. It is the added dimension that is often to more difficult to deal with.

Using imagaintion wrongly can make things unbearable and more painful.

We use our imagination positively and correctly when it is to the benefit of ourselves and others to carry out a specific task. Such as for example, meditating, praying, being on the look out, cooking, planning, decorating, painting, designing, writing etc. Here we need to use imagination. Though when it comes to the ego we do well not to use it.

The consciosuness does not use lmagination to trip us up. It uses it consciously to solve problems, open new dimensionas and to know.

The way to understand all of this is to deal with some things without the dimension of imagination and with it. Some instances it is just better to see what the physical senses perceive and in some instancnes it is better to use imagination as well what the senses perceive.

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...
