Meet Desire with Consciousness and Transmutation Not with the Mind

Meet Desire with Consciousness and Transmutation Not with the Mind - (569)

Introduction

Normally we meet desire with the mind, and this from experience this has not worked out so good.

The overall result is that the mind tends to keep us stuck or fixated on the desire.

The mind will either accept the desire and then make plans or start thinking about how to realise the desire or the mind will reject the desire and keep thinking about it anyway but in a different way. It happens that the ore we think about the more we get stuck and we run the risk of either fulfilling the desire or feeling frustrated or negative, down and blue.

Mind does not Liberate

Overall the mind does not liberate us, it can prepare the way for us to get some liberation from the desire but ultimately it is our own consciousness that does it. A small realisation of our consciousness is enough to do it.

Meet with Consciousness

If we meet the desire being awareness or being our consciousness we can change the outcome. When we go to be our awareness we can see from a little distance inside us the desire and with that distance we can observe and we can comprehend a little. The main thing to see is to see what the desire is of or for or about. Once we see we need to transmute it.

Transmute it

By transmute it, I am not referring to something only sexual but something that seeks or goes inside rather than outside to fulfil the desire. There are many desires and they can be either fulfilled outside of us using other human beings or inside of ourselves relating to ourselves, our consciousness and our inner Being.

To transmute the desire is to go inside and make efforts to get from your own self, consciousness and Being what it is that you desire. Give it to yourself.

Conclusion

This is not a bad system tor way to meet desire if we are wanting to experiment with the ability to have a different outcome rather than the same old one when all these desires that we have in our interior surge to the forefront.

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...
