Notes on the Task of Not Judging - (5712)

A terrific remedy to judgment is to apply comprehension instead of judging. When another person bothers us, try to understand them instead of falling into commentary about them. 

Understanding someone brings a new and higher dimension into our mind and consciousness. 

This new dimension allows us a new way of relating. It also produces a transformation that is lighter and happier. Becasue there is more consciousness.

We judge because we want something perfect while being imperfect.

Accepting our own imperfections allows us to accept the imperfections in others.

There is perfection only the high and deep inner reaches of our own Being.

When accept imperfection we judge less and forgive more.

Judging something does not make it better or transform it from imperfect to perfect.

We judge mostly due to pride. 

To judge gives a false sensation of power or authority and being right.

"To be right is a poor man's version of self-worth". It is the ego's version of self-worth.

We judge with anger when our pride is hurt.

Judging can annoy and hurt others. Ill-will within us knows this.

Judging allows us the opportunity to look inside ourselves and see if we are the same.

If we are the same as whom we judge we don't see this because we are deeply identified with the same defect.

Judging opens the door within us for inumberable negative processes to unfold.

Not judging allows inner peace and keeps our level of Being stable.

Not judging allows us to like people...

We judge so much without knowing it. 

We judge people telling them not to judge. 

There are also certain areas in which we judge people more. It could be their appearance, their intelligence, their lifestyle, the manner or way of speaking etc.

Knowing this shows us our inverse values. That is, the values we consider important to us yet we lack those values.

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...
