Lust is an Interpretation of Sensations (188)

Introduction

There is a point here to do with the work on lust. Our sexual centre by itself issues sensations. These sensations are expressions of its own vitality.


Sensations Appear

These sensations can apparently appear for no outside reason, or in other words they can appear when there no outside stimulation is present. They basically appear because the sexual energy is accumulating or building and it is showing us that.


We Can’t Stop it

We can’t stop this force expressing itself, though what we can do is modify the way we interpret it, and of course we can chose what this energy is used for or where or what it is channeled into.


Interpretations

A very common interpretation of this spontaneous manifestation of force is that we need to have sex. We though, have to ask ourselves, is it true that those sensations mean I need to have sex? Obviously not, it is not true, but what is truer from the Gnostic point of view or from the conscious management of our sexual energy point of view is that we have to channel this force or energy, we have to use it for something, and something positive – all the better for us!


Conclusion

There are so many other interpretations that we can give to these sensations and they basically all have to be honestly and scrupulously questions and the true answer sought for every question we ask ourselves. The truth can only be found within ourselves.


End (188).

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...
