Inner Life Begins with the Fire

Inner Life Begins with the Fire - (5988)

An inner life that we become deeply a part of, begins in earnest when we awaken the fire. When we draw the sword of fire from the rock of sex.

An inner life is a lot like human life, where there is movement along a path towards higher and more advanced states of experience and responsibility.

Just hanging around allowing time to pass, travelling, coming and going, is not really a life in the sense of growth along a path. It is more like going around in circles.

That is essentially what the ego has us to do. It is just to hang around life after life returning to the same - therefore a circle.

We all say get a life, meaning get a purpose and follow it and be directly involved in the events of that life and forget about meddling with the lives of others. This is for sure a life and an inner life is exactly like that.

We can awaken and become very aware of our interior, speak to our Divine Mother regularly and see this and that part of the Being and know this and that about our future, however this is still not the same as being part of a series of events along the inner path of our Monad.

It is one thing to be an active member of a club than to just know about the existence of the club and some of its activities.

With the fire our Inner Being awakens it's life in us.

The development and ascent of that fire is the path, and the path is the development of the life of the Being within us with all its events, which is the same really as a deep and true inner life.

Creation begins with the fire of life operating over the waters of life...

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...
