Wisdom of Sexual Transmutation - (1057)

Introduction

I found the following passage in a very interesting book. It really shows how wise supra-sexuality is and how lucky we are to have this kind of teaching in Gnosis regarding the sexual energy and sexuality.

This passage really makes one to understand that transmutation, Alchemy or supra-sexuality is really the way. Abstinence and the other extreme are the extremes and no extreme is good or the right way to go about anything.


Excerpt

“In this world everybody feels some problem or other with sex and sexuality, dear friend. It is due to common ignorance, fear, ego, taboos, social customs and lack of love and naturality. Every healthy person feels sex and sexuality–it is perfectly natural. But if for some reason you try to suppress it, it will lead to perversions of various kinds because it is impossible to stop nature. And if, on the other hand, you indulge freely in as much sex as you can get, you will feel too much frustration in your mind because you will be overwhelmed by nature. In this world there are also many people–those who are clergy or monks and nuns or various other kinds of Truth-seekers–who live a so-called celibate life, supposed to abstain from any sexual activity or even to deny sexuality itself. But did you know, dear friend, that celibates all over the world, no matter what religion or church, monastery, ashram, community, brotherhood or fellowship they belong to, feel this problem and that scandals and tragedies of sexual abuse and even rape by celibate persons in positions of trust and authority are happening every day? Even in the holy Himalayas, at the top of the world, as many as nine out of ten monks, sadhus, sannyasins and so forth, have a schizophrenic mind because of this problem–because of suppression and perversion and an entirely inhumane attitude towards the opposite sex. In these times it is really a problem all over the world and there is an urgent need for change in understanding and attitude towards sex and sexuality, together with the provision of practical guidelines.”

End (1057).

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...
