Rolled up Crinkled Handout - (6020)

When someone rolls up the class handout using it a baton to tap to beat out a tune, and or leaves it on the floor and one of the chair's legs accidentally rides on top of it, crinkling it - we know the chances are high that they are not going to read it.

What we value, we look after and protect.

When we value something the emotional centre is operating.

What is intellectual only to us, we don't tend to value or look after.

What's real to us has emotional weight.

What we value also has importance to us.

These are important observations that we can use to make great changes.

When we are told for example that we have an attitude towards something that causes us to be  disengaged, disoriented, disassociated, aloof, distrusting and disdaining, it means that are emotional centre is not operating. 

All of these attitudes and many more all disappear when we put the particular issue/s into our emotional centre.


The intellect is what complicates things. The rigid intellect as well as the confused and undeciding intellect produces emotional storms, followed by exhaustion that leads to irritation. That's when we crumple paper. Meaning ideas, knowledge and the things of value which by nature are delicate. Which is what anger does.

Anger first ruins the delicate - ideas, plans, concepts points of view, friendship, good and kind moments and so on.

End (6020).

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...
