What We Need Most is to Believe We Can - (5954)

Believing in ourselves is something that we all do before we truly start something.

We often don't start something becasue we don't believe in it or that we can do it.

To believe we can do something is really the biggest milestone.

Once we believe that we can do something, results are not too far away. There is no doubt about it, we are going to make head way towards whatever it is that we believe we can do.

For all the great things that human beings have done, there was a point where they believed that they could do it and so they did.

No one achieves something believing all the way that they can't do it.

We may start out not believing that we can, but there is a point that we start to believe.

Often that point is when conscious faith turns on. It is the point that through our persistence or struggles we catch a glimmer of light and this glimmer turns into a knowing that our hope is real.

Truly a large part of the battle is won when we believe that we can do something. This really applies for everything both human and spiritual in nature.

Do we believe for example that we can dissolve an ego and we can succeed in being our true nature?

Always as soon as we believe we can are close to our aim. This is becasue we have just created a cause within us for us to do it. If there is a cause for something within us our whole system will follow that law of cause and effect and make happen whatever it is. 

Believing we can do something is the same as creating the cause for it to happen within ourselves.

To believe we can do something comes from hope.

Once we have hope the next thing to do is to focus our attention, time and effort to produce steps towards our goal. That is the most important thing of all - to take active steps. Even baby steps but steps.  

The steps we take then form our path and learnings towards the goal.

While there is hope, don't give up. 

Every failure and returning to the fight is a step closer to success.

By sincerely believing we can, we have will-power at our disposal and we will keep trying until we succeed.

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...
