Hypnotic Apparitions Caused by Desire

Hypnotic Apparitions Caused by Desire - (2721)

Behind Apparitions

Desire is behind many psychological apparitions. For example, becasue we desire money we think that a rich person will give us some money without even knowing us. Because we really like and desire to own a Ferrari we think that the owner of a Ferrari just seeing us admiring his or her car will give it to us or let us drive it. We desire a person and then we think that that person likes us and will approach us just becasue we are there in front of them.

Totally Unrealistic

How all totally unrealistic and hypnotized we are to think this way.

This is directly the hypnotic effect of desire. Desires causes many apparitions and erroneous ways of thinking within us.

Desire Behind Dreams

This also the reason behind so many unrealistic dreams that we have while asleep at night, where all becasue we have desire, we dream that we are going to come across lots of money, acquire a Ferrari and marry a person that in reality has not shown much interest in us.

Conclusion

To know this is big help. With this knowledge we can actually stop falling victim to these apparitions. An apparition is something that appears true but actually is not.

When we work desire we see things clearly and as they are in reality.

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...
