Fantasy Breaks the Law of Reciprocity - (814)

A Look into Fantasy

If we look into our fantasies we can quite quickly see that they are all about receiving ‘something’. Whether that ‘something’ be something psychological or something tangible or something spiritual or esoteric.


Acquired by Magic

The common theme of most fantasies is that that ‘something’ is received for free, or by a stroke of good luck or as a special gift or obtained or acquired without effort, almost by magic.

In our fantasises we have skills, powers, attributes that we don’t have right now, that is fairly normal for fantasy, but the point is that we in our fantasies leave out the major detail of how these powers, skills, abilities or money or cars or tangible things are acquired.


Fantasy is to get things for Free and Give Nothing

In other words fantasy does not want to work for anything, it would rather us not sweat, cry, work hard, pay and suffer to get the things that it fantasies about. In fact most of fantasy is about jumping over that difficult part of having to work to get what we want.

That is the real fantasy to get things for free and that is where we are out of balance and out of reality. Things don’t come for free we have to give to get. This is by the law of reciprocity. Even to have bad things happen to us we have to give out some ‘bad’ or not do ‘good’ when called for, to get the ‘bad’ thing happen to us.

Fantasy actually breaks this law of reciprocity because it wants everything for free. It does not want to give to receive.



People who want Things for Free are Dreamers

There are people in life who want everything that they can possibly get their hand for free or next to nothing. People like that are dreamers and breakers of the law of reciprocity. To think like that is really selfish and it is to also be outside of reality, because this law of reciprocity or balance is a huge and great law of life.

Well anyway people who are like this if they don’t have life slap them in the face with this reality tend to suffer a lot and what they used or took from others eventually gets taken from them later on.


Conclusion

We can weaken fantasy quite a lot using this key of reciprocity. We just have to tell ourselves the next time we observe a fantasy that the thing that we receive or have in a fantasy does not come for free and this is according to the law of reciprocity and balance, and having this fantasy I am really out of reality and dreaming and that I am also unbalanced and selfish thinking that I can get something for free like this. How much of a dreamer am I. Time to stop that.

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...
