Sexual Impulse Characteristic - (3438)

There's one characteristic about the sexual impulse that is interesting. That, it is typically selfish or individual in a nicer words. There the problem lies.

So many wrong things have taken place because of this characteristic - things to do with forcing nature.

Because it is particular to the individual it is not readily understood or echoed by others. Often it frightens and alarms others. 

Of course there is co-operation and that is where sexual co-operation in Alchemy finds its place. 

That is probably one of the significant learnings in relation to sexuality- about how to deal with this impulse. More importantly - how to create love. 

Gnosis has the best teaching - transmutation. In transmutation the sexual impulse becomes love.

Basically to create love we have to sacrifice, and we start sacrifice with the sacrifice of the selfish sexual impulse. 

In love there is sacrifice. Love is a lot about sacrifice. We sacrifice for what we love. If we can't sacrifice things for what we supposedly love, we don't love it. When we transmute we sacrifice, that is we choose one good superior to another. 

In this choice of the superior there is love, because we love the superior, which is our essence, our presence, our energy. We love those superior things over our desire for the lower in place sensation-emotions etc. The love for the superior therefore strengthens. Love Master Samael says is fed with love.

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...
