What Do You Reckon? If No Lust then No Jealousy? - (1951)

What Do You Reckon?

If there is no lust, i.e. not that possessive aspect of lust, don’t you think it would be difficult for a person man or woman to become jealous right?

Also, if there is no inferior feeling or no debt or resentment, it is once again difficult for jealousy to arise.

When we work on jealousy these aspects: inferiority, psychological debt, resentment, and the possessive side of lust (i.e. wanting to control the focus of the other’s sexual desire to be directed at us) could be worked on.

Jealousy does not think that way does it? When we realise we don't own
people, and love is elastic and fluid in its presence and, not fixed and 
rigid, jealousy, self-importance etc. get weaker. 

Why So Strong?

Jealousy is a very strong emotion that is terrible because of the strong expectation we have to be felt as first in the focus of the other person. WE believe that to not be first in their focus is to not be loved. But love is fluid and elastic.

It is so strong because it manages wrongly the forces in love. Love is very powerful and when it is polarised against us, by using the wrong reference point, it hurts like hell.

If you have made others to feel jealousy when you know that it could have been avoided, it is best to work hard on that ego now because we will feel it, just as we have made others to feel it.

Core of Jealousy

The ego of jealousy wants to tie things down, it ties everything to this one reference point that “I must be first place in the focus of the other and that means that I am loved and when I am loved all that I have done for you has been worth it”.

If Not

If not I feel terrible betrayed, mistreated, mocked, ridiculed and used.

Having no reference point and understanding the truth about love, that love is free, fluid, elastic and expands out like light, as does consciousness, dissolves and undoes undoes a lot to do with jealousy.

End (1951).

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...
