Sex is a Legitimate Joy but not a Legitimate Need - (1667)

Introduction

Master Samael says that sex is a legitimate joy that any human being has the right to experience. However, Master Samael does not say that it is a legitimate need.

Impressions, air and food are certainly legitimate needs because we would not be able to continue to live if any one of these three elements (impressions, air and food) were denied us.

We can survive without sex, as thousands have done in the past. 

Obviously for the self-realisation of our Being we need sex to complete our inner universe (solar bodies) so that our inner Being can manifest. 


Whole Point

I am writing this post actually to make the point that the egos of lust have the belief that sex is a legitimate need and therefore because it is a need and needs must be fulfilled, that ego is then compelled to try and fulfill those needs. 

The egos of lust believe that sex is a real need, therefore these egos think, that whatever is a real need must then be fulfilled or satisfied, and so lust goes about trying to fulfill these wrongly perceived needs. 

If we knew that sex is a not a real need, i.e. a matter of life and death, where our body depends on it, we would be in possession of some extra ability to be able to separate from the egos of lust. 


Parting Point

When one has ridden out a storm where the ego of lust was very prevalent, one experiences that all of those needs, that seemed so real, magically disappear when the storm is ridden out. This shows us with 100% clarity that sex, which is usually what the egos of lust desires are not really a legitimate need at all, because if it were legitimate it would always be there before, during and after any storm. 

End (1667).

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...
