Naked Man in the City – Made Me to Reflect - (1968)

The Event that Made me Reflect

After Gnosis class one night I drove through the city and made a short stop in the CBD.

As I was walking along I noticed that on the opposite side of the city’s central street was an old man wearing a white Cuban hat bobbing up and down and jogging in and out of the shadows close to where a bus stop and the entrance to the grand foyer of a large Australian bank was.

I looked again at the man from a good distance of say 50 or more metres, and I realised that he was naked, wearing his Cuban hat, socks and some loafer type of shoes. He was running with his hands covering his lap.

I wrote this post as an aid to help us understand the enigma of sexuality. One aspect of this enigma is that it
is governed by laws and principles.
As I watched thinking “my goodness what he is doing?” I noticed that no one else had noticed him yet. The young Asian lady at the bus stop hadn’t and it seemed that none of the passing cars had either. I thought: “it is just a matter of time”. I thought should I go and tell him: “get dressed before the police get you!”. I decided not too, I instead watched him get a bit bolder and run across the main street from the shadows to the left of the bank building’s entrance to the eve of another building’s entrance on the other side of the street.

I was amazed it seemed that no one had noticed him. I was feeling a bit instinctively scared and I began to think: “What does this guy want, why is he doing that?”. In the meantime, he tried to cross the street again to return to the bank entrance from where I initially saw him. He had to stop because some cars where driving past and as soon as they had passed he ran across. I decided to keep walking and left the scene behind thinking to myself: “he is going to scare someone and that it’ll be it”.

The Right Sexuality is Law Abiding

When I walked back to the car, walking past the spot where I saw the naked man I realised that he had been caught. It looked as though a security guard had alerted the police and two police men were there taking statements, one from the security guard and one from the man who was previously naked but now nicely dressed still wearing his Cuban hat, but this time under the bright glow of the street lights and not in the shadows.

(Error in the shadows and correction in the light, what is right, balanced and in accordance with the law is done in the light!) This is an interesting key, what is done and accepted in the light is right. Use this to discern from what is right and wrong. Very useful when working on our egos.

This scene made me to reflect and I began to reflect along the following lines:

Naked but Broke the Law

He was naked, which is no big deal we come into the world that way, it is our real physical nature, we are like that walking around at work, in the city, driving a car - just that we have clothes on top, we can be naked all day and night at home, but yet he has broken the law, he was being fined I supposed.

When we err we are fined internally by the police of the Divine Law. Some people have dreams
about being fined, put in custody etc. by the police.

Lust Breaks Laws

So his lust was thinking something and because of his lust, he acted outside of the law. Obviously to undress and be naked falls under the realm of sexuality.

Lust is always that which breaks laws, not only human physical laws but the esoteric cosmic principles and laws.

Sexuality of the Being or Spirit

Therefore, I understood quite clearly then, that the right sexuality, the authentic and real one is the one that does not break any principles or laws at all. Not the human, not the psychological and the not the esoteric.

If a human being were to follow all the laws and principles that concern the area of sexuality one  would enter into supra-sexuality and live the sexuality of the Being or the Spirit.

The sexuality of the Being is sexuality under the ethics and principles of the Being/Spirit.

Conclusion

The sexuality that is clear to the light and obeys all the laws and principles is the right one and that is also the sexuality of the Being. The Law governs sexuality also. With sexuality we break the law. With the superior law abiding sexuality we stop breaking the law and slowly erase our debts for having broken the Law. Namely karmasaya.

A life within the law is a life free of stress and anxiety and a life where trust reigns because no debt = a clear future (no unknown threat of what difficulty could come) i.e. no unknown karma.

End (1968).

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...
