Purpose of Fantasy

Why do we fantasize?

The purpose of fantasy is relatively simple. It is just to make ourselves feel better by projecting a scenario and a series of events (often disjointed) that compensate for: what we lack, our short comings, our mistakes and our unfulfilled desires.

Projection of an Artificial Reality

Fantasy projects an artificial reality and we by means of wanting to believe in it (because we are self-hypnotised or because our consciousness is asleep) we enter into it, where we think we are something great or good or admirable.

General Fantasy of Self

So as long as we are projecting and believing in a given fantasy about ourselves we feel great about ourselves and we think that we are really that good, admirable and great. But in reality we are really not that good, great or admirable person.

This is what we call actually call in Gnosis the global or general fantasy that we have about ourselves, which in Gnosis we understand that we have to come to dissolve, so that we can see our reality and be able to find our inner Being or the master that dwells within.

Conclusion

One of the purposes of fantasy is to make us feel fine, good and even great, but in an unreal and artificial world. If we want to feel great for real, we must act in the real world and what is even better is to find our Being we have to go to the Being and worship the Being. He is the great one in us, the one that is truly admirable, honest, incorruptible, true, courageous, virtuous and divine.

End.

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...
