Mercury of the Wise - (649)

Introduction

The transmuted sexual energy has been called the mercury of the wise. Mind you, with very just reason. This post is dedicated to explain a little why the transmuted sexual energy or the transmuted raw mercury is called the mercury of the wise.


Normal and Infra Sexuality Don’t Lead Anywhere

We understand from normal sexuality and infra-sexuality that these types of sexuality lead to the dissatisfaction of something within us, and are only really about experiencing sensations and certain types of emotions that we don’t end up feeling in the way that we would like. We are always somehow left disappointed or disillusioned and the effect wears off very quickly leaving us in the same very familiar predicament (desire) once again.


In effect, normal and infra sexuality are about in their depths searching for the intimate wholeness, completeness and creativity that really only can be satisfied using the means of supra sexuality. Because when the sexual energy is not channelled we do not feel an intimacy within ourselves, that is an intimate connection that comes about via the sexual energy moving within us to higher and deeper places that activate and energise different vital and conscious centres. We also don’t feel whole or complete because the sexual energy does not get moved through us so to nourish us and fill us making us to feel complete or whole. IT instead when the sexual energy leaves us, we feel empty, tired and lacking.


Channel Inside

When we begin to channel our sexual energy within us, as a solution to the problem of normal and infra sexuality, and as a way to manage our sexuality and therefore make lust redundant in us we are becoming wise, and we can begin to reap the rewards of supra-sexuality which are numerous.


Transmutation is Wise

When we transmute we go beyond the seeking for sensation and emotion and we receive the same but on a much higher octave. But more than this we receive or rather fabricate the transmuted raw mercury that is used to nourish us, activate vitality and consciousness in us and free us (eventual awakening of Kundalini) and complete us or realise ourselves (create within us the bodies or renovate them).



This is really to be wise, and is much wiser than the normal and infra way of dealing with sexuality and sexual energy.


Conclusion

Transmuting and really understanding what we are doing makes us wise and corresponds to the wisdom of the initiates and hierophants of the path. When we transmute to make lust redundant we are entering into the world of the mercury of the wise. We can transmute mechanically, chanting HAM-SAH, IAO or doing the prana yama but if we do not know why we are doing it or if it is not a real need in us we are not really all that wise either.


End (649).

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...
