Lust is Major Fantasy - (1440)

Based in Fantasy

Lust uses fantasy most certainly but what is more, many of lust’s processes are based on fantasy. For example, when a man looks at a woman and vice versa, and it happens that the ego of lust is looking, he or she are already dreaming. How is that? I’ll explain.

When a man looks or vice versa, and allows their attention to be caught then what keeps the man or woman looking is the fantasy that a relationship could start or there could be possibilities etc. etc. and then the "I" of curiosity begins to work... The mind begins to then function testing the ideas present in the fantasy by making various calculations of 'liking' or 'compatibility' by projecting scenarios and evaluating the various reactions to the scenarios that appear within one’s emotion centre. This is pure fantasy, because nothing is going to happen, we don't know anything about that person, we only see and bite the unfounded assumptions of the ego of lust. To project these kind of things with some one driving past you in a car, walking past the front of your house or office, shopping at the supermarket etc. is just plain dreaming, deep sleep dreaming.

It is pure fantasy because nothing is going to happen between you and that person ever, and reality supports that because you never see that person again and they don't care - why should they, you are probably a weirdo to them. And say if something does happen, it will never be as per the projected scenarios. If something does happen it will be totally stressful and out of order and not conducive to anything proper. Especially if you are Gnostic and you are thinking like that, how do you know that person will like Gnosis? Probably they will not like it and then what a difficulty you would have gotten yourself into. Another big time dream right there - for heaven's sake.

Imagine a person is married and looks at people of the opposite sex and thinks in the way just mentioned above, such a person is hypnotised by lust. Only hypnosis makes a person look at, desire and fantasize about what they can not have and it is exactly this mechanism that produces suffering.


Dreams with People of the Opposite Sex

How can we trust our dreams at night with people of the opposite sex when lust is alive and lust is the major fantasy subscriber and fantasy projector in us?

I would be able to retire early if I had a dollar for every time I have heard someone talk about their dreams with someone of the opposite sex, and for it to end up in a disappointing and embarrassing flop. There are so many useless dreams of this kind, but what is worse people believe in them.

If you have a dream about someone you know like an ex-partner you could be really dreaming, if you think that because of that dream you have to contact that ex-partner and especially if you know that the ex-partner has a new partner and you are married. This could be like an intellectual and emotional type of adultery. Only we really know but worth looking into just to check.

I would certainly take any dream with another person of the opposite sex with a pinch of salt because the ego of lust is there projecting, which is its specialty and it is there interpreting things as well, another one of its specialties.

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...
