Working on Lust Returns you to Wholeness (244)

Introduction

There is a point where we really struggle to find new and powerful reasons to dissolve an ego and sometime we can’t but by virtue of the old very good reasons we preserve in the work on an ego and then as a result of that work we realise the benefit of working on that ego and we consequently feel the new reasons. Sometime the new reasons are not to be conceived with the mind but they are to be felt.

One of the benefits of working on lust is that it brings wholeness to ourselves and to our life. I will tell you why working on lust brings you wholeness.


In Sexuality there is Union

Sexuality is very obviously about unity, it brings connection, communion and unity between two people but more importantly within oneself, it unites and harmonises the different parts within oneself – that is peace. Sexuality (supra-sex) brings connection and union between the higher and lower parts of the Being. It has the power to create connections in within us. It creates within us, unifying our interior organization.

If we are united inside of ourselves our physical and external life will also follow suit and become unified, whole, harmonised, balanced and matched altogether.

As we know the sexual force can create and destroy. If we use sexuality wrongly we can break down the unity within us and cut many inner connections and create much disharmony within ourselves, and when we do that we divide our life.


In Lust there is the Break Down in Unity

Lust has that power to disharmonise things within us, it divides our interior life and therefore our physical life. It tries to make us do things that will take us out of the normal circumstances, expectations, routine and line of our life. And when or if we do that our life will suffer some large cracks. Like adultery for example is exactly that where lust takes the man or the woman totally out of their circumstances into another life, a second life almost and that then divides the person’s life. The person ends up divorcing and probably as is the usual case ends up alone.


Conclusion – the Reward

So in conclusion the reward or benefit one gets by working on the ego of lust is wholeness and an overall well-being and a certain happiness, not to mention peace. This is an immense benefit and a reason to continue to work on lust. Unity is peace, balance, happiness whereas division is pain, suffering, stress and the instigation of a successive break down of connections within ourselves and then soon after a within our physical external life.

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...
