Patience Is...

 

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

I Love...

 

Pamela Groppe

 I love to re-member Mervyn’s words: 

“Presence is Consciousness Loving You into Existence.” 

To me that is remembering oneself in Eternity. 

To be Present 

and allow The One to Experience Itself through us. 

The other night I was having a Higher State, 

and I wrote this:

True rebellion 

is when the Divinity finds Joy in being You. 

When you realize 

the filament of light is finding joy in being you. 

That is when the Creator experience itself 

(The Creation) through you. 

That is Presence.

And that gives me a great feeling of Gratitude.

Aim in The Work

Gemini AI Generated Image

We can all understand what aim means in life. 

It gives us a direction. Without aim

we are aimless—going nowhere. 

The most general definition of what aim means

in the Work-sense is that it is to hear what the 

Work teaches and to do what it says.

on the Teachings of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky

I Verify...

 

I verify that my machine 

sometimes raises an inner barrier 

where finer hydrogens won't come in. 

In the distance of my inner world, 

I hear the song of conscious beings calling me 

to read their works. 

When I answer, I am pierced, 

and I know I am connecting to the divine.

Think Of The World...

 

Think of the world that you carry within you,

and call this thinking what you will,

whether it be remembering your own childhood

or yearning toward your own future -

only be attentive to that which rises up in you 

and set it above everything that you observe about you. 

What goes on in your innermost being 

is worthy of your whole love."

~Rene Maria Rilke

The Internal Man

 

Old Man in Prayer - Rembrandt

"When thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, 

and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father which 

is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret 

shall recompense thee. " Matthew vi, 6. 

It is only the 'internal Man' in a man that can obtain

response to prayer and can communicate with a higher level.

-Maurice Nicoll

Shameless Impudence

Gemini AI Generated Image

While the work of parables, as used in the Gospels,

is to provide a venue for the Higher 

to communicate with the Lower; 

Prayer is the Lower communicating with the Higher.

Because we are not at the same level, there are barriers 

in communication and prayers are not easily answered.

Man must insist. A man's prayer, his aim, his request, 

must be persisted; it must go on, in spite of not being answered. 

He must have shameless impudence.

Only persistence and intensity can cause 

the Higher to respond to the Lower.

Search, Search, Search

Prophet Anna - Rembrandt

People should search, search, search; 

try to be sincere; not imitate each other; 

and respect the truth everywhere…

study something, almost anything, 

deeply, from all angles; 

try to do original research, 

using what we have been given as the key of

understanding. 

The system is too big to waste…

- Rodney Collin

The Good Servant

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza Memorial 

by Jo Mora

"When the inner man is aware… 

we can come to see the body as its servant. 

Just keep desiring to serve.. 

and to see the perfection of yourself, 

how beautiful it is? 

How much you have transformed 

to this point in time? 

Then the two can become one- 

then step by step keep inviting 

the spirit to join that peace 

Keep the mind at bay… 

but invite it now and again 

as a tinder to ignite the soul.

In The Morning...

 

In the morning, 

I slow my breathe down to 4x per minute. 

This helps my thoughts to slow down 

and for me not to identify with them. 

Then I do my prayers and meditations 

and sometime take a walk. 

While walking I appreciate the beauty of the sky, 

the trees, the flowers, 

they are miracles. 

This helps me to connect to the divine.
