Make WILL - (4715)

This is one of the most important teachings for all areas of our life.


It solves the mystery of WILL.


The magic of will converts a weakness into one of our greatest strengths.


WILL is indeed a mystery to us, as to why we have it for certain tasks and not for others and how initially we are lacking it and only later do we get it.


Don Juan told Carlos Castaneda that the sorcerer or the awakened person waits for will to appear. That is, the awakened person waits for both mind and emotion to be filled and activated in relation to the task and once that maturity of mind and emotion is set, then - will is present.


We have all experienced one moment of the magic of WILL in our life. Yet we have had difficulty in being able to re-create it.


We have longed to be able to re-create that unwavering will that endured until the goal was achieved.


That magic will was present when we dieted impeccably and lost weight to banish heart disease or any other aliment. When we saved our career or a business, when we saved ourselves from dropping out of our studies, when established a business against all odds, when we overcame an ego against much resistance  etc.


MIND + EMOTION = WILL


Will is the magic combination and product of both mind and emotion.


Will is mind in emotion that culminates in action that strengthens both mind and emotion.


Emotion is more powerful than mind. We typically fail when we leave out the emotional centre.


The emotional centre holds much greater reserves of energy and power that the mind doesn't.


To be continued...

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...
