A Modus Operandi of Lust - (550)

Introduction

With lust we think that we have to experience in some way another person and there seems to be no way out of it. We just have to come into some sort of experience with another person and that is it, or if not, we just have to entirely sacrifice lust and that seems really hard, so we end up in a real fix.

However, as you may suspect that is a state brought about due to a lack of understanding, and therefore with understanding it can be remedied.


Modus Operandi

What is going on inside of ourselves is a projection of pleasure and that projection actually creates pleasurable sensations in our centres especially the sexual centre. So then that projection only appears given some triggers and there are two triggers. One trigger is some sort of contact with another person, and the second trigger is our imagining or thinking about that contact.


Tricked

So then we get fooled into thinking that we need the other person to provide this pleasure which is really the pleasure that we give ourselves by that projection of our mind creating those pleasurable sensations and feelings. What we really want is the pleasure that we give to ourselves which comes from that projection or exaggeration. Because we think that to have that pleasure we need that physical trigger we desire the other person.

The trick is to undo the projection or exaggeration or swell of emotions and thoughts that are the pleasure that we create for ourselves. If we do that then the desire for the physical trigger will automatically dissolve.


Proof

The proof of this is that when a person comes into contact with another person with a totally blank mind then the real sensations or thoughts and emotions will be felt. The result is to see what is real and one sees that there is really not much or there is not such a big deal there. Certainly, not too much to obsess over and fall head over heels in desire for.

So then what we lust over is our own mental inflation or exaggeration of sensation, emotion and thoughts that lead to the out of control excitement of the emotional and sexual centres.


Conclusion

A silent mind reveals to us what is real and allows us to see our own illusion. The key is to dissolve our own illusion which we have come to desire. If we break that illusion the desire for it will diminish and then our state of affairs in relation to desire toward the opposite sex will be modified. There will be a more real, balanced perception that allows us to be in control of our centres and allows us to remember the Being.

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...
