Weapons to Displace, Weaken and Dissolve Lust - (392)

Important

What is really important is that as soon as we discover something new about lust we put it to work inside of ourselves. As soon as we apply the new discovery the sooner it becomes a weapon in our hands to displace, weaken and dissolve lust. This applies to any defect really.

Sometimes we can have so many keys but because we don’t apply them they remain as just words, and of course we remain as stuck as ever in the mud of the ego.


Take Your Weapons With You

Something that I have found very useful is to take your weapons with you everywhere. Take them shopping, driving, walking, working, meditating, singing, showering, sleeping, talking, thinking, you name it, everywhere and anywhere that you go externally and internally.


Weapons

Runaway Sexual Centre – Out of Order and Balance

My main weapon against lust is now knowing that all the thoughts of lust lead to a runaway sexual centre and that leads to great imbalance and disorder. A runaway centre is against the order of life, the body, it is against harmony, balance, stability and what is logical and orderly. So when a lustful thought arises I remember this understanding, which allows me to comprehend that this lustful thought I am currently observing wants to create in me a runaway sexual centre situation where the sexual centre will end up operating against the benefits of the whole (body, mind and essence) or the other centres put all together.

As I am not interested in creating unbalance and a runaway sexual centre why do I need to look twice, or make efforts to try and grasp or even think about pursuing or even dreaming about “what if” or “What could have happened”.

Connect to Reality

Lustful thoughts are all one-sided and far away from reality. We think that other people are interested in us etc. If we just look at reality we will see that is not quite so, or at least as we think it is, for example they may be interested in us but not in the way we think (this is 99% of the time like this). If we see the reality of the situation we will see that lust in us abates quickly and reduces itself to barely a thought and our thinking and perception turns more normal and realistic.

Does that look, coincidence etc. really mean anything serious? If we connect to reality we can see that so much of our assumptions are real fantasy. People may have things in their subconscious but they are usually very unprepared to do anything about it. As soon as the subconscious is brought to light everything changes.

Why Look

If I have already a partner or spouse and I am committed why bother looking ! We are not going to go there anyway, why bother looking, nothing will come of looking, so why even bother to look? We just make fantasy worse and make our illogical assumptions even stronger and more out of reality. Why dream when we are going to remain as we are in the same position in reality? No point right?


Conclusion

Apply what you have understood about lust or any other ego that you are working on. That is where the difference is made – in the application of the keys.

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...
