We Don’t Pay Until We Stop the Action that Accrues Karma - (988)

Introduction

It isn’t only until we somehow, either voluntarily of our own accord or we are forced by someone or something to stop the action that is accruing karmic debt, do we really begin to pay the karmic debts for our past actions.

It is just like we have a credit card where we spend and spend and nothing seems to touch us and we enjoy spending all our credit but when we hit the limit, all the fun is over and things change, it is now time to pay, and the happiness of spending turns into bitterness and the fun of spending turns to the sweat and monotony of hard work.


A Limit

There is always a limit that we hit when we are repeating actions that are accruing karmic debt. We can’t go beyond this limit and that is where we get physically sick or something drastic happens to make us stop.


Now we Can Die

If we stop beforehand then it is only when we have stopped to do we really come into contact with that ego that was causing us to act and create karma. Then we left with the work on cleaning up all the residues left in our system (psyche) from those actions and then if we really stop we can begin to die in earnest. Before that it was not really possible for us to die in that ego causing the karma. But now it is possible.

It is here that we have to feel very grateful and happy because the fun that we were having with that ego is replaced by something superior which is the relief of not creating more karma and the essence felt joy of approaching freedom and acquiring for our Being and our essence a new value that was previously trapped in that ego. We can also feel the essence felt joy of coming to own that area of our life where before it was in the hands of that ego.

End (988).

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...
