Lust is the Search for Pleasure without Consultation to the Whole - (402)

Introduction

There are many definitions that we could give to lust, and as one’s level of understanding grows so too does this definition. Anyhow at the moment I have this definition of lust to forward in this post.


Definition

Lust is the search for pleasure of the sexual centre without consultation of or to the whole. What this really means is that lust is the psychological process or processes where a decision is made to procure the circumstances where the sexual centre can act in such a way that it experiences sensations that fuel a desire to experience more sensations until the sexual centre’s capacity to continue experiencing sensations is overwhelmed.


Sexual Centre Acting by Itself

In lust the sexual centre is set up to act all by itself. In the case of lust the sexual centre is the centre leading or driving the situation. It is after the stimulus to produce sensations. It is of course an absurd situation because the sexual centre is devoid of vision, the sexual centre is an energy source. The intellectual centre has vision not the sexual centre.

The situation with the sexual centre leading is creates a war or a division inside of ourselves because our emotion and intellect may not agree with it and what it is propelling us towards and so we become divided.


Battle is Lost or Won

The other centres in us lose the battle to the sexual centre when the consciousness is focussed only on the pleasure then the centres polarise with the goal of the sexual centre and then the battle is lost. The other centres should really focus on the reality of what will happen.


Sexual Centre must Work but in Accordance with the Whole

The sexual centre in us must work. It must work otherwise it atrophies and we waste such a marvellous instrument. But the way it must work just as everything else must work is in harmony with the rest of ourselves. It must work in such a way that it does not create a war inside of ourselves.

 

Conclusion - Transmuting is the Key

To transmute is the key. That is the use of the sexual centre that does not create war inside of ourselves. The sexual centre works under the vision and guidance of the intellect and under the inspiration and motivation of the emotional centre. While transmuting one transforms the raw sexual energy into something else that enhances the body, the mind, the soul and the spirit.

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...
