A Conversion with the Devil, an Offering of Wisdom - (5952)

In our own world is there someone wiser than our own devil? 

Just imagine what psychological knowledge our own devil has to have.

The sum total of the wisdom from of all our life's experiences from the beginning of creation. 

The Sun up in the sky is another one who is supremely wise, as it has witnessed all the errors, problems, solutions, triumphs, failures and sufferings that human beings have passed through since the beginning of creation.

The devil is so old and because of that he is so wise. He has seen so much of our folly. He knows it all...

Seeing folly over time means to have seen what lead to it and the consequences it had. The total of that witnessing of our folly comprises knowledge. The wisdom of the devil comes from this knowledge, and the way his wisdom is expressed is in the way of helping us to see and undo our folly.

The devil being the shadow of our inner Being knows what it is that we lack. As our lacking is the shadow of our Being.

From fire comes much knowledge, as fire is the energy to live and experience. The devil was the one that stole the fire of the Gods to give to human beings so that they could gain wisdom to ascend once again to be with the Gods.

The devil in many ways is the mirror of our complement, and his fire is the way to polish that mirror, turning it from dusty charcoal to shiny silver.

A spark which produces fire is the result of the contrast of two things coming together in friction. Fire as an element always exists via the two and it's third force is light. Fire needs air to consume and expand, water to be extinguished and rest and earth to be contained.

The friction with our shadow is fire and this fire can bring light. The light is then what transforms the shadow. Thus the devil is transformed with the new light we liberate. 

It is the wisdom of the devil that makes us reconsider our concept of the devil and its 'so-called' evil.

Isn't wisdom a divine quality, something of light? Yet the devil has this wisdom of  light. How can the devil be all evil when it possesses divine light. Our concepts can not accommodate that, meaning our concepts are misaligned with what appears to be reality greater than what we know.

The devil is traditionally used to provide contrast which is the place where we can see ourselves as we are and also know directly what our essence has within its fibres.

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...
