Introduction
In this post I would like to introduce to you a psychological
and esoteric characteristic of fornication that is not commonly thought of as
belonging to that ego.
Before I go any further with this post I think that I should
spend a brief moment describing what we mean by fornication. In Gnosis, the
word fornication is used to describe the act of expelling the sexual energy
from the body, and I would like to say that specifically for men the sexual energy
is the semen (or seminal entity) and the same applies for women, in that the sexual
energy is something physical.
About Pleasure
We commonly think fornication is about pleasure or about a
false attempt of possession or about submitting oneself or ingratiating oneself
to another person or to a strange pleasure. This is how it looks at the surface,
but if we are to look much deeper we will find a certain rebelliousness or a
certain defiance or disobedience. The reasons for this are very clear.
Defiance, Disobedience and Rebelliousness
To the keen observer there is a very clear air or sense of
disobedience in the ego or egos of fornication. It doesn’t seem like there is
at first but there is. The reason why is because fornication is the means by
which we err against our inner divinity, it is the means by which we
spiritually, psychologically and physically fall and fail. Fornication may not
be the cause of the fall, it could though be in some cases but in all the cases
it is the vehicle or the instrument of the fall.
So when we have the ego of fornication developed it knows that
it is ruining us and to keep itself doing what it does it has to be is in
complete rebellion and defiance of the law and our Being. So deep in its nature,
is pure rebellion and defiance, and even hatred against what is spiritual. So
sometimes we may really dislike anything spiritual and this may come from the ‘I’
of fornication, believe it or not.
Boldness
The ego of fornication is very bold and daring and it gives
it that force is that rebelliousness and daring to defy the law and the Being
and to march on toward our ruin. It is a very stubborn ego, in that it has some
marvellous forces trapped in it, that we really need to liberate so to use it
for our realization. One of those forces is the rebellion and the drive toward
freedom.
The ego of fornication wants freedom, it wants to do what it
does freely without any restriction. So if we free that characteristic and use
it for our realisation we will get it, because it is very powerful. Having the
ego of fornication makes it impossible for us to get the self-realization because
all our rebellious forces are going toward ruining ourselves and going against the
law. Really the right place or direction for those forces to be channelled into,
is against the ego and for or in line with the Being or the self-realisation.
Conclusion
Work on the ego of fornication, find the rebelliousness and
work to change its direction from driving for free pleasure into the real
freedom from the ego and from suffering.
