Some Notes to Help with Death, Loss, Goodbyes - (4726)

Do our best for others while we are in their company. It may be hard to do at times, but it pays off so much in the moments of having to say goodbye. Because there is no lament and no regrets.


The pain of lamentation and regret is strong and mysterious in the moments of contemplating the goodbye and living without that person, role,  or pet in our life. 


The sacrifices made for others to do our best when we were with them, all comes to help us in those difficult moments. A help of tranquility and equanimity.


The pain of the goodbye is often in the lamentation and regrets. Where we don't have time anymore to have repaired what needed repairing.


Our pain is mostly about how the person or pet will be after they leave us. If they have died they are in the hands of the Being and the masters, if they have left voluntarily they are most likely happy or their happiness in their own hands now. 


It could be that we suffer because their well-being is no longer under our control or influence and we feel that they will be worse-off?


True they may suffer as we will or are - but all suffering passes...


"No one is ever really gone". This is a truth. Our sensorial mind does not see this, but this is known to our essence. 


From our side a person or pet never leaves us because the essence of a person never just ceases to exist, and as essences we are all connected and we will see each other again. This is a law of the cosmos. May God give us the consciousness to remember, but if not our essence will remember and at moments we will feel that.

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...
