Walk Like Glass - (5848)

When trying ot be conscious when walking or being amongst people, a really great exercise is to be like glass, transparent and almost invisible.

That is, to be psychologically like teflon where things don't stick. 

This is not easy... There are many things in our psyche that want to be seen. That is why it is such a good exercise of knowing ourselvs and being conscious.

In the magical sense it would be much more possible to be physically like glass if we are psychologically like glass.

A good key to be psychologically like glass is to walk around with no self-image. That is with no projection of our self within ourselves. That's the main part of teh exercise. 

Some other points to work on while doing the exercise are the following:

To let go of any incomming impressions, to be pure in our gaze - that is no subconscious interest in what or who we see in front of us and let go of all that we see.

To not allow anything to hook our attention or any ego to pop up. To move without leaving any jolt, mark or impact. 

To pass through without disturbance and not be held in the mind of others and ourselves is the main goal of walking like glass. Yet, it is to still do what we have to.

We maybe physically noticed, yet forgotten quickly as we move through the event.

Good will and an inner smile reaching outwards leaves no indents, no disturbance, no interference, no echoes or trace in the minds of others.

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...
