Role of the Consciousness with Sensations - (5860)

Experience of Sensations

Being an essence in a human body means to experience so many sensations. There are so many kinds and types of sensations that we can experience.

Eventhough there are so many kinds of sesnsations, these different kinds are all available to the human mind to add to, give meaning to, create worry from, play down and ignore, exaggerate, crave and so on and so on.

As there are many kinds of sensations there are just as many ways the human mind can take them.

Some are pleasant and some are unpleasant, and some people find pleasant what others don't, and so it goes...

Meaning Of

Most sensations mean something for the essence inside the body. The sensation of a full stomach means to stop eating. Some other sensations are indicators of what the body is doing and what is going to happen next ,or what needs to happen for the sake of the well being of the body.

There are those sensations above that are clearly biological and instinctual, that can be observed and obeyed or they can be observed and overridden, but not for too long.

Truths

What though is the truth amongst all of this? One truth is that sensations can be influenced by our mind. Another truth is that sensations can be turned into emotion by our mind.  

The essential point of these truths resides in the discernment of the consciousness based on what is convienient in the given moment.

It is not in the nature of the consciousness, not having a physical body, to be enslaved by the body and its sensations. It is in the nature of the consciousness to be very aware of the body and relate to it in an edifying and dignifying way, but to be trapped and enslaved by it.

The consciousness has within it the power to discern and choose. We all this from our studies.

Another truth is that there are the sensations, and the sensations make us feel something, and then there is the meaning given to the sensation by our mind. This meaning is often exaggerated, and that exaggeration turns into something else, far from the extent of the sensation.

All the parts of the body are equal and their sensations are the same in the sense that they are indicators of that body part's functions.

This is very important to understand, There is not sensation produced by the body that is without reason, super special, incomprehensible and beyond our capcity to deal with and seperate the hype or meaning our mind gives it. 

It then comes to the consciousness to be aware of the sensations and be discerning the correct meaning given to the sensations. It comes to the consciousness to definitely control the meanings given by the mind and if needed to do something, or not do something.

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...
