Lust Affects our Relationship with the Divine Mother - (701)

A Future

There are some egos within us that when we work on them everything improves. Even a future appears before us.

On the other hand strengthening the same egos degrades way too many things within us and makes our future dull, faded and even difficult to envisage.


Effects of Identification

When getting identified with lust much within us gets affected. The greater, i.e. the longer and more intense the identification the worse the effects are.

There are many effects in the human or physical, psychological and esoteric fields.

Physical

In the physical one feels washed out, all the senses and centres are dim, that is they are low in energy, concentration is difficult, distraction is high, laziness and apathy increases, there a sense of disconnection with anything spiritual and ethical.

Psychological

Within the psychological there is a sadness within related to one’s lack of will, continuity of purpose, the darkness of contradiction expands, a negative view of oneself develops. One’s value of oneself decreases. One is prone to self-neglect and even to believe that one does not deserve certain rewards or benefits that come as a consequence of our good works. One becomes pessimistic etc., and of course lust is strengthened in oneself and the thoughts appear, “well I’m down now, why not stay down for a while”. Anxiety increases as one feels to be on a lower standing than others. One feels lament and envy at others who are doing well and apparently do not have a problem with lust, and it goes on and on.

Esoteric

One feels ashamed before one’s Divinity and one feels distant and that one must wait or undergo a period of waiting whereby the effects of that identification will wear off and allow one to again approach the inner Divinity anew.


Effect to do with the Divine Mother

Now the central point of this post, is that lust never leaves one in good hands. It makes one to see the Divine Mother in a skewed light, it alters the way we see her. We can not see her as she is, we see her with impure eyes. This applies more to men, but can also apply in a lesser way to women.


For women lust may affect the perception of the Father but in relation to the Divine Mother it may make a women feel incompatible for a while with the Divine Mother.

Also one feels far from her, almost like bounced out from her radiance or love, it is like we lose acquaintance with her.

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...
