Stop Fantasy and Deal a Mortal Blow to Lust

Stop Fantasy and Deal a Mortal Blow to Lust – (1479)

Why do we Go Red, Feel Awkward or Comb our Hands through Our Hair?

All Because of Fantasy!

When we look at a person without any mental process going on in our mind we are seeing what is. That is neutral that is ok. We are seeing the physical body of a Monad in creation. We may perceive certain things about that person and that is ok. As soon as the mind begins to think about what has been perceived or the mind simply begins to think then there arises the trouble.

If we observe what arises in our mind very carefully we will see that what appears is fantasy, or more fantasy than anything else. It is precisely fantasy that makes us to then feel awkward and blush. Because we are subconsciously embarrassed about having projected a fantasy, even if subconsciously.

No Thought – No Awkwardness!

How can we feel awkward and blush and get nervous when we are seeing a reality, a human being, like us, no more than that a human being? Impossible! We feel awkward and embarrassed because a silly or embarrassing thought entered our mind.

It may not have even been an elaborate or involved fantasy, it may even be a decent kind of a fantasy, but none the less it is something that is not real and is out of context with the physical event and we feel ashamed, embarrassed or silly about that. IT just goes to show us that our real nature is made of truth or what is real.

No person is a problem, what is the problem is our fantasy. Stop the fantasy and you will see how everything changes.

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...
