Another’s Body is not Our Business and Plus Don’t Be Deceived - (1857)

Not Our Business

If we understand this point we can gain some separation as well as a good weapon to combat the illusory and deceiving processes of lust.

Truly lust psychologically tries to get into the business of another person. It wishes to get involved in the life of the person just because they have a good body or are good looking. But in reality, the life of another person is really none of our business.

The other person having a good body or being good looking is none of our business as well. Why does lust try to possess that somehow and try to make it our business when it is not up to us. The other person having that good body is their business, their merit and the result of their Divine Mother’s work/creation. We had nothing to do with it, we had no part in it, so why does lust think it has a stake in that?

That is where lust makes an error or falls down. It thinks just because it likes the body of another that it can possess it or make an entrance into the life or business of another person. But this is really not a good reason in anyone’s mind to try to get involved in the life of a person. Plus who would let a person into their life just because they like our body. I would say “get lost!”. Because they will find another good looking body and then they will go away with that, or when they break the illusion of just a “good body” when they get psychologically hurt or disappointed (which is bound to happen) they will hit the road too.



Illusory Conclusions of the Perceptions of the Human Body

There is much illusion in the conclusions of the perceptions we have of the human body. Another person’s body can look perfect, all prepared with make up, hair styling and clothing and we can think that they have to be a delight to know and be with. But that is not all as true as that!

The egos that they have will certainly shatter this wrong conclusion, plus, if we were to take away the event, the ambience, the make up, the company, the ‘going out clothing’ and replace it with ordinary clothing then what? The illusion shatters. The person is a person that has to go to the toilet, that can get sick, that has a terrible mother and father, that has to eat, that has some awful egos and so on and will get old and will lose all of his/her beauty.

To bring reality to neutralise or dissolve these illusory conclusions is very beneficial. It is very handy to do this because it brings our consciousness to the fore, and makes it to work: correctly organising the conclusions of our perceptions and not creating false processes and new egos or strengthening old ones.

The illusion is our conclusion not the person.

End (1857).

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...
