A Woman is not a Piano! Part 3 - (861)

Continuing On…

If Lust

I think that this is worse than fear. However both can be rectified by the understanding of respect for the other person and the awareness of what one is doing.

If it is lust that is touching it is doing so to satisfy its very instinctive desires and holy moly after the first few touches what more is there for that ego to want. It is a very morbid ego then.

However, lust works with the emotions and it is uses the touches as an attempt to get close and intimate to the person. So to bring them closer to him, to link the person closer to him so to secure his position and control.


Such a Man will be a Disaster in Alchemy

Can you imagine such a man being naked and naked with his wife about to practice the Alchemy, with his sexual apparatus fully activated. That man will not be able to cope. If he has that tendency to always touch then with those added powerful impressions of himself and his wife naked and his own sexual force in activity he won’t be able to control anything because he has never before exercised any control. Such a man is headed for disaster in the Alchemical practice.


Alchemy is for Alchemists not Romantics

Some people think that Alchemy is romantic, chocolate, perfumes, candles, loving embraces, kisses and all that, but really it is more about thinking on the Being, offering the practice to the Being and working for the Being. These other things are added extras that are not the central point at all of the practice.


Conclusion

A woman is not a piano nor a toy nor an object to be possessed nor a trophy or a show piece. A man should respect a lady and discipline and train himself to be an Alchemist starting with the small details in the relationship and in his will, thinking, emotions and actions. An Alchemist is different to a loving romantic type who is dependent and thinks of kisses and hugs and feels horrified if there is not a kiss or a hug in the practice of Alchemy.


End (861).

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...
