C.O.N.H - (4706)

Gnosis teaches about the Carbon, the Oxygen, the Hydrogen and the Nitrogen. Master Samael says that they are the four bodies. See the excerpt from the book: "Tarot and Kabbalah". 


"C. O. N. H.


These are four forces, the four bodies of the initiate, four bodies with which the Seity is dressed when the Seity wants to be manifested.


1. C - Carbon. In Alchemy, the letter “C” symbolizes the conscious body of willpower; it is the carbon of occult chemistry.


2. O - Oxygen. In Alchemy, the letter “O” symbolizes the true solar mental body which was built in the forge of the Cyclops, the oxygen of sacred chemistry.


3. N - Nitrogen. In Alchemy, the letter “N” symbolizes the authentic Solar astral body, which is very different from the body of desires. It is obvious that the legitimate sidereal body is the nitrogen of occult chemistry.


4. H - Hydrogen. In Alchemy, the “H” symbolizes the physical body, the three-dimensional vehicle of flesh and bones."


Gurdjieff also teaches that C.O.N.H are also the four states of matter and the elements of fire, air, water and earth.


The four aspects or states of every substance have definite names.


"When a substance is the conductor of the first or the active force, it is called 'carbon,' and, like the carbon of chemistry, it is designated by the letter C.


"When a substance is the conductor of the second or the passive force, it is called 'oxygen,' and, like the oxygen of chemistry, it is designated by the letter 0.


"When a substance is the conductor of the third or neutralizing force, it is called 'nitrogen,' and, like the nitrogen of chemistry, it is designated by the letter N.


"When a substance is taken without relation to the force manifesting itself through it, it is called 'hydrogen,' and, like the hydrogen of chemistry, it is designated by the letter H.


"The active, the passive, and the neutralizing forces are designated by the figures 1, 2, 3, and the substances by the letters C, 0, N, and H. These designations must be understood."


"Do these four elements correspond to the old four alchemical elements, fire, air, water, earth?" asked one of us.


"Yes, they do correspond," said G., "but we will use these (C, O, N, H). You will understand why afterwards." — P. D. Ouspensky, In Search of the Miraculous


C.O.N.H are also the major constituents of our physical body as the graphic below explains. Everything must correspond and this shows that there is correspondence between the different levels.

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...
