When Lust Looks – (441)

Introduction

This is quite an unpleasant post and can really be synthesised in what Master Samael has said, in that “we need to educate the senses”. This post is a little bit about the sense of seeing and how in relation to lust it can be understood and educated.


When Lust Looks

When lust looks it wants to determine something, for example how thin, how fat, how normal or how unusual, how perfect, how imperfect etc. etc.

Basically when lust looks it looks for a reason, and we may not detect this reason but there is certainly one there when we are quick and sharp enough in our self-observation.


Comparison

When lust looks it does so to determine or see how close what we are looking at resembles the sexy, attractive or good looking type that we have in our minds.

In general we look with lust to see or to compare how close reality is to our mental image. Let’s observe to see if lust looks for any other reason. Well in the cases of a very heavy and out of control lust, it may look to see if a person maybe receptive to some advances etc. or to send a message, to give a hint, etc.


Relativity

Relativity is a major point when it comes to lust looking. It is the major motivator to look and to determine, whenever we ask how much we are in trapped in relativity.


Conclusion – How to Educate

To best educate the senses we have to remove all these types in our mind and to of course work on desire, then naturally our sense won’t be used by lust. Also if with alertness and will train our senses to not look in a way to determine, but to just look at, that is see the whole body, and not to focus on body parts so to provide data for lust to make its determination or comparison calculations.


End (441).

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...
