Fantasy Drains Intellectual Energy and Ruins the Mind - (1737)

From an Esoteric and Scientific Point of View

Fantasising is not very good for the human machine. 

This is because it drains the energy of the intellectual and emotional centres. It actually substantially drains the energy of these centres. It is very common to feel like a slight ache and tiredness or emptiness in our intellectual centre (head and brain) after having spent some time fantasising.  

Wrong Energies

For our human machine to keep working it requires energy, however the energy levels in the human machine have been depleted somewhat and require topping up. This topping up of the human machine's energy levels is done by taking energy from the sexual centre which is the human machine's fundamental energy source.

This topping up of the intellectual and emotional centre from the sexual centre is actually detrimental as this causes the intellectual and emotional centres to function with fuel that is not of the appropriate grade. It is just the same as putting the wrong fuel into our car and that adversely affects the car's engine. So in effect fantasy puts pressure on the human altering the way it functions, forcing the centres to function with a fuel that does not pertain to them.


Affects Our Brain

Because fantasy is outside of reality, fantasy causes our brain to make intense efforts to adapt to the new apparent reality. Intense efforts are required on the behalf of our brain to do this. Especially if the fantasy is way outside of our own reality.


Recover After Fantasising

The best thing to do after fantasising is to carry out a practice of mental silence. That is sit down and make your best effort to not engage in any kind of thinking. To notice all the thoughts with alertness and then to disengage from the thinking process. See the thoughts arise but do not go with them. Let them go from instant to instant!

This will save energy in the human machine and balance our brain and mind. This is also because, our consciousness comes into activity and it aligns us with reality, as it is the real and perceives the real and aligns with the real.

End (1737).

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...
