Living Apart Together and the Alchemy - (1894)

The Question

Would my practice of Alchemy be fruitful if I live my life in my house and my Alchemy partner lives her life in her house?

We take turns, we meet at each other’s house and practice the Alchemy then we go back to our individual homes and continue our lives apart, and we go along practicing Alchemy that way?


Answer

So what do you think dear reader? Do you think such a couple would experience the esoteric fruits or results of the practice of their Alchemy? Would the Kundalini awaken in them? Would the initiations unfold in them? What do you honestly think?

Here are a few points to consider:

Can Not Submit Esoteric Principles to Changing Cultural Norms

Living apart together is a modern day phenomena and is cultural. The esoteric principles that rules creation are not subject to the modalities of the latest fades. They are rather perennial and universal.

This is certainly not the right order of things. The perennial and universal must rule the changing and perishing.

It is the esoteric and psychological work and their principles that rule the fires of sexuality. If this were not the case then pure sexuality would take hold and run chaotic as a blind force in which it is. Master Samael said: “The Kundalini ascends slowly according to the merits of the heart. The fires of the heart control the ascension of the Kundalini”.

Alchemy is a Work Done on Seven Planes

The work of Alchemy carries through to all seven planes of consciousness. For there to be creation in these seven planes of consciousness the couple must be united in these seven planes. How can you say you are united if you can’t even live together?

The couple must share of and partake of the same emotion, mind, will, consciousness and spirit, i.e. the seven planes. Living together is a natural consequence of sharing or partaking in these planes of consciousness. If you think you are both united on these seven planes then why not live together.

Alchemy is Not Just Sex it is Lived Out in the Three Brains

Alchemy is a practice of great transformation that operates using the three brains and is lived out in the three brains.

The practice of Alchemy is not just the sexual union, it is how one prepares for the practice, how one lives out the principles of the Alchemy, how one uses the energy of Alchemy. Alchemy is also mystical death. A couple living apart together is not really living out the Alchemy they are only having sex using the Alchemical modus operandi.

No Commitment Only Convenience

Obviously this one word is very absent from a living apart together relationship. Wouldn’t one conceive that such an undertaking as one’s inner Genesis and self-realisation require commitment. If earning our living requires commitment i.e. being stuck in an office 8 hours a day wouldn’t a greater undertaking require just as much or more commitment?

In a living apart together relationship one is committed to oneself not to the Alchemical vase and therefore not really to the work performed with one’s partner. What rules such a relationship is personal convenience. Is love present in such a relationship?

As love is the magic ingredient of any creation and of making any creation to take life and flight then how can we conceive that the Alchemy will give high esoteric results that are the fruits of commitment and love?

The English are leading the way in this fashion or trend. It is certainly not an esoterically principled trend or mode.

The Proof

We certainly have proof that being legally married and living together as a married couple works! The Masters that have been born, of which we have direct physical knowledge of, have all come from this kind of marriage.

There is no proof that this “living apart together” works. Do you have time to waste on being a pioneer and trying it out when all the indications point to it failing, when you could have gone with something sure-fire proven to get results?

If you think you do have time that is why you are in this predicament because you are not serious. Time and life is short, put your energy into working on yourself and working out a solution to living together as a married couple, would be much more fruitful then wasting three to five years to see if you awaken the fire or not.

Conclusion

It won’t really work!

A couple can certainly transmute but the fruits of the Alchemy, as per the work of inner Genesis and the work of self-realisation and liberation won’t be fruitful, or as fruitful as it could possibly be if you were fully committed living together as a married couple.

End (1894).

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...
