Key of Understanding Others

Key of Understanding Others - (5726)

This is a really powerful key that when we work with it, helps us change.

Applying this key, we start to understand that the 'strange' reactions of others, whether it be their annoyances, impatience, fears or habits, all have a reason, and are not so strange and bothersome afterall.

It seems, that us not understanding the reactions and behaviours of others, is really the problem or issue that bothers us so much. However, we think it is the other person that bothers us.

Working with it, we start to feel that we don't need so many explanations from others. We also begin to stop finding them 'silly' or 'wrong'.

Another thing that happens when we work with this key is that we shake our head in disbelief so much less when we see the reactions of others. We develop psychological maturity.

Understanding others is different to justifying others.

From understanding others, we can help them to modify their reactions if they so wish. Justifying others does not give us intelligence to help them.

In short, everything others do, has a reason. Finding that reason and understanding it, makes our consciousness to work and allows us to respond in a conscious way.

Responding in a conscious way can only be done when we are well separated from our own reactions to the reactions of others. Being separated from our reactions to the reactions of others allows us to address the heart of the issue and thus solve the issue.

This key helps us to jump out of the pit of pride and anger.

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...
