The Mistake in Lust is its Sexualising - (1814)

Introduction

That of sexualising, i.e. habitually involving the sexual centre in the matters of life is a unique characteristic of lust. It is the intellectual or mental part of lust that does this. Meaning that our mind is responsible.

There are moments though in infrequent when the sexual centre seems to operate by itself. But as I have said they are rare, and usually the sexual centre is forced into operation because of the mind.
It is a wrong use of our imagination actually. It is a use that makes us sleep. IF we wont to wake up we need to have a good grip on our imagination, i.e. not allow it to be used to make lull us to sleep, especially with the processes of lust.


Inherent Truth

Lust principally sexualises people, conversations, words, gestures, looks, movements, objects etc. to just name a few.

The stronger a person’s lust the more a person sexualises things and the wider is the scope of the things it sexualises. There are people that sexualise nearly everything

This sexualising of things may be an inversion of the fact that most things are sexual in life. When any two opposites combine and produce a result or a third factor, that is sex, and the result, the third factor may have nothing at all to do with the sexual act between a male and female human being.


Can it be Stopped?

Can this mental action be stopped? If it were to be stopped many processes of lust would not unfold and then many embarrassing: situations, looks, words, unintended jokes and associations, blushing etc. would all be avoided.

This being something mental can be changed. But it will not change unless our thinking or our mind changes. Because by itself our mind does not change.


Awareness: First Port of Call

The first port of call in stopping this is awareness. We have to know that we are doing it. Once we know that our mind is doing it we can actually use our will to stop it.

Understanding that our sexualisations are not necessary for, i.e. out of place we can much easily stop it. When we see that these sexualisation serve to feed and continue the various fantasies of the egos of lust we can also stop that process or mental action.

End (1814).

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...
