Steps to Overcome Fantasy (113)

Introduction

In a series of posts, I wish to present to you practical information and steps that will help you to overcome fantasy.

Here below is an outline of this, the first presentation on how to overcome fantasy.

Definition of Outline

Note, an outline is a list of the main points appearing in the post and the order in which from start to finish in which they will appear in the post or presentation.


Outline

Ÿ1. Intention of presenting a series of posts on overcoming fantasy.
2. The view or angle upon which fantasy will be viewed.
3. About the author’s efforts in relation to the topic.
4. Outline of the post contents in the series.


View Point on Fantasy

The angle from which this post will view fantasy is from the point of view of first stopping, diminishing, overcoming and later discarding it all together.

From the outset this may seem very harsh and a negative thing to do, but it all depends upon one’s definition of fantasy. Here we see fantasy as something mechanical, unconscious (please refer to the post titled “What is Fantasy” for more information) and inferior in quality to imagination.

Imagination as a conscious facility is what we will promote in these posts and by the way naturally increases in vibrancy, vividness and creativity as fantasy diminishes in us.


Author’s Efforts

Being honest I can not say that I have eliminated the psychological or mental act of fantasizing. What I can say is that I have been working in this area of overcoming fantasy for several years and have gained knowledge and experience in this area, to the point, that I think passing it on to you will help put you well on your way to the goal of overcoming fantasy and one day eliminating it all together.

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...
