Sexuality is Serpentine - (2694)

How Interesting

How interesting is that? That sexuality within the human being is a serpentine power. Serpentine in the sense that it is like a serpent, you know - like a snake.

I have always been intrigued about that. Why does the Divine Mother in the aspect as kundalini take the form of a serpent?


Serpents

Certainly in many cultures the snake is seen to be a symbol of vitality, strength and even healing. In general it is seen to represent the life force.

In the Australian Aboriginal dreamtime or creation myths the key element is the dreamtime serpent.

In terms of structure, snakes are unique. They are the only creatures that are as long as they are and do not have feet. They also shed their skin totally renewing their outer surface every so often.

Some are terribly potent and fast, while others posses tremendous crushing power and can swallow large mammals whole (powerfully digestion).

All of these features are indicators, to me at least that snakes are a definite possessor of great vitality and strength.

Snakes are renown for their astuteness. Such is the result of the sexual force. One who works with the sexual force becomes rather wise in the positive sense, or either rather devilishly astute in the negative sense, if one uses sexuality wrongly.


Key

Anyhow the key of sexuality being serpentine is that sexuality as fire must connect or unite all the centres of the human being. That is brain, heart and sex must be connected, if not the power of sex can not be controlled and a fall will soon precipitate, as brain and heart are there to keep sex in its orbit.

The brain and heart are best connected to sex via a line and such a line is the serpentine nature of sexuality. The sexual force ascends when acted upon voluntarily. It ascends up the spinal column as a climbing serpent.

Or if acted upon negatively it descends downwards in a line, as Master Samael said in relation to the kundabuffer organ, into the atomic infernos of the human being.

Sexuality in many respects is a line. It represents the vertical, either up or down in the quickest way. Ascending it helps us linking us stage by stage to the higher parts of the Being, and descending it helps us accelerating the process of involution so that the essence can be free of the ego once again.

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...
