The Senses and Lust (168)

Introduction

There are certain body parts that lust likes. This is undeniable. We don’t like to admit it, but it exists within us, or at least there is a certain preference of one part of the body to another.

For men the breasts and the buttocks are great fascination. Why? We can analyse this and see that both of these parts are round and symmetrical. In other words they both immediately please the visual sense. What is round, smooth, shiny and proportional pleases or attracts the visual sense.


Senses Convey Information

Each sense also gives us certain bits of information, and in turn these bits of information are interpreted by the mind or to be exact it is the ego in the mind that interprets them.


Desire and Memory

Desire is based on the memory of pleasure and the yearning of the senses for pleasure. Because the senses are pleased and they make the mind know that they are pleased. The senses are connected to our mind through the layer of the sensual mind, which is the outermost layer.


What Pleases the Tactile and Visual Sense

So smoothness pleases the touch sense. The data from the visual sense indicates to the mind that the tactile sense will be pleased. Also the visual sense indicates to the mind the taste sense will be pleased or not pleased. The most important sense here is really the visual sense, and to lust it is absolutely crucial. Because through the visual sense lust knows that the other senses will be pleased, and most importantly it determines the sexual sense or organs will be pleased.


The Issue – Senses and the Mind

The problem is that the way the touch sense entices the mind is by using imagination, it has to create a scenario for us to in our imagination go and experience the object of desire and that way using our imagination appeal to our sexual sensations.


Main Senses for Lust

The main senses for lust are the eyes, touch and hearing. Hearing conveys essentially the information that enjoyment is being produced. So it produces in us psychological sensations that drive us forward.
The visual sense and the tactile sense work very much with the instinctive centre.


Interpretation of the Senses

Symmetry and proportion also appeal to our visual sense. The more perfectly symmetrical the more our visual sense is pleased and the interpretation is that we will be comforted or abundantly. Usually with abundance we feel comfortable or secure, with little we do not feel comfortable or secure on the contrary we feel worried and anxious. So large buttocks and breasts, inspire such sensations in a person, that in turn create emotions. The emotion that the pleasure or satisfaction of the senses implies is what pleases us or gets us hooked. When we feel abundance and security we are attracted and hooked, when we feel the opposite we are repelled.


Conclusion

Know what pleases your senses and understand how it relates to lust and then observe and study how your mind interprets that information from the senses. Know that that the senses are not evil or dirty they are just as they are. They perceive according to their nature. The part that needs correction is what is done by our mind with the information that they the senses provide.

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...
