Working on Lust Entails Maturity - (1810)

Introduction

In lust there is a certain lack of maturity. This can be because we created much of our lust when we were younger and that lust has remained the same while our bodies have become adult. However, our sexuality has not matured quite the same as our body has.


Remained Petty

Many of our egos are like that, we created or strengthened them when we were children and they remain the same while we grow physically. Then being adults we cry, get into a fit, storm off just like we were children. This is true of our lust.

Lust does not mature it remains petty. I say petty in the sense of it being impulsive, wanting things instantly, not being able to accept no, being fixated and fascinated with body parts, objectifying people, being possessive etc.


Maturity

Maturity would mean to be adult enough to say ‘no’ to ourselves, to not accept unrealistic fantasies, to have a vision of people being whole people and not objects or a collection of fascinating body parts, to be able to see the whole wide picture and not a tunnel vision version which is only pleasure.
Adults weigh up consequences but children do not. Within lust there is still a very childish outlook that maturity can be transform. Obviously the more we embrace true sexuality the more we draw closer to our inner Being and obviously the more mature we become.

Maturity allows us to see things related to sexuality as natural and simple. Being embarrassed and shocked are things that children do.

Accepting the transmutation means that we have some maturity already, because we are able to see deeply enough into sexuality, that is see beyond the surface of pleasure and look towards the Being. Because we have maturity already we just need to extend it further to assist transform the childish outlooks, concepts and perspectives of the egos of lust.

End (1810).

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...
