Sexuality is Like a Tree – (454)

Introduction

Sexuality is really like a huge tree, it connects to the Earth and stretches out towards the heavens. It receives from above and below and transmits to the Earth and the heavens and stretches downwards to the interior of the Earth and upwards towards the heavens.

There is the family tree (the result of sexuality) and there is the tree of the science of good and evil which is the symbol for sexuality. This post is about explaining this interesting analogy between sexuality and trees.


To the Earth

Trees with their roots extend deep into the Earth and so anchor themselves there. The roots are the very Earthly part of the tree and through the tree’s roots it draws nourishment up for its existence. Sexuality is like that, when it descends or is focussed outwardly it spreads out and fragments just like a tree’s root system. It either creates children or it fragments into hundreds of various other types of inferior types of sexualities, which are usually a mixture of sex with other elements, and these mixtures are often strange.

When sexuality works in this way descending and fragmenting it takes us deeper into the Earth, into matter and makes us eventually part of the entrails of the earth, that is the abyss. We end up entering the very depths of the Earth to become melded with Her the Earth. She digests us and makes us one with Her then she moves us through her various parts from the interior or inferior to the surface or superior, so we begin to become a mineral, then a tree, then an animal then a humanoid.


To the Heavens

Sexuality is like the branches of the tree in that when we transmute we look upwards towards the heavens and the heavens inside of ourselves. We send that transmuted energy flying towards our inner Divinity and Being where it enters into our interior cosmos to create, that is to crystallise in the form of superior creations within our interior. The transmuted energy can also enter our interior Absolute enhancing and making our Being shine more brightly.

The branches of a tree seek the heavens by stretching out towards the sky just as what the transmuted sexual energy does, it is the property of transmuted mercury that is like a vapour that soars upwards.
The trees also make oxygen which the very essence of air. The production of oxygen is a result of transmutation.


Trees Transmute

They receive from below and receive from above and transmute from above to give to below and transmute from what is received from below to stretch upwards and produce air. The sexual energy system in the human being is the same. We receive nourishment from the Earth in the form of air, water and food to create the sexual energy and we can use that to raise ourselves spiritually by transmuting it and then transmitting it to the Being in us. We also receive energy from our Being and the cosmos which we can use to raise ourselves up spiritually as well, but which we also transform and transmit to the Earth to nourish the Earth and give us force in life and in the work on ourselves.


Conclusion

What doesn’t make sense is spilling the energy, there the work of our body transforming the nourishment of the Earth is wasted and then lacking the material prima we can not give anything to our Being in our interior heavens.

A tree receives nourishment from the Earth and light from above to create oxygen, if a tree would spill its energy then it would not produce oxygen.

So a tree represents what sexuality can do and a tree also shows us what transmutation can do. A tree is like a conduit of energy and a transformer of energy and substances, just as we are.

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...
