Pride and Lust – Double PPP - (304)

Introduction

We know that the PPP, that is the Principal Psychological Profile is a causal factor, meaning that it is something that by itself forms a cause for many tragedies, dramas, circumstances and comedies. We know that it is the cause of our fall and the reason or the cause of many of our life’s circumstances and our of thoughts, emotions and inner states.


Sometimes it is as if Lust and Pride are Together in the PPP

As causal factors lust and pride are together, in fact they form a very dynamic duo that is very powerful in lowering our level of being. In fact working together they are responsible for our fall, usually Pride is the expression of the first desire to be something more, something different, it is the first expression of inconformity with the unity, the whole and the Being. Pride produces a distance or a separate from the whole, the unity and the being but the connection is still there, it maybe be weak but it is still there, though lust is the one that produces the disconnection, i.e. definitely cuts the connection and so we fall.

Without lust we would not be able to fall and without pride we would not have used lust to fall either. So they work hand in hand. However over time in through our various lives one of these egos Pride or Lust comes to be stronger than the other.


If One’s PPP is Pride, Pride will be found in Lust but not the Other Way Around

If your PPP is Pride, you find wit at the root or base of your lust and your Pride will use your lust, it will trigger your lust. Sometimes Pride uses lust for control, for dominance, for revenge for superiority for many other reasons. Lust can use pride such as vanity etc. to shape the body to be more attractive etc. but the cases where pride uses lust will far out number the cases where lust uses pride if one’s PPP is actually in fact Pride.


Work Lust to Find Pride

Sometimes, we in our psychological work have to overcome lust then the gymnasium with pride comes to us. Working on lust opens the way to find and work on pride. Lust is like a distraction that delays this work on our core egoical structure which is the PPP.


Working on Lust Re-establishes the Connection (Order and Peace)

Working on Lust may bring much order and peace to one because the core of one’s energies are flowing correctly and that there is less distraction and one can maintain their level of being and level of alertness and focus on their work. However, it does change our sexual nature which then changes us because if we change our core sexual energy we change our selves fundamentally. It puts us on the right track. It strengthens and helps to re-establish that broken connection with the Being. Because ultimately transmuting and awakening Kundalini is when we re-establish that connection to the Being and that is only achieved by working on lust, not succumbing to it.


Working on Pride Closes the Distance (Restores our True Nature)

When we work on pride we actually begin to change our inner nature, making it much more filled with good will, much more benevolent, balanced, unifying and closer to the nature of our essence and Being. Working on pride brings heaps of difficulties to our life, problems, fights, insults, offences, unfairness you name it. The result is balance and equanimity in the face of such things. It brings a shift in our centre of gravity from the false personality to the essence and our Being. It draws us closer to our Being. So it then restores our true nature which is ultimately that of the Being.


Conclusion

Lust and Pride are a duo that work together usually and really should both be worked upon. Both are causal factors and working on one or controlling one allows access to the other. Working on lust re-establishes the connection and working on Pride closes the distance between us and the Being. So the order is to work on lust to create the connection to the Being and work on pride to close the distance to our Being.


End (304).

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...
