Sex as Function - (3643)

From an esoteric perspective sex is seen to be more a function. 

What is important to the esoteric perspective is the energy and the elevation of that energy into higher levels of Being. 

Sex is used to produce a shock that helps elevate that energy to a higher level. 

Most of the work of maintaining that new elevation, and preparing for a new shock of elevation is done within the person themselves, in their psychological work along side their devotion.

From the current society perspective, sex is seen as more than a function. It is almost offensive to people with the common view of society, to consider sex as a function. Sex is 'the spice of life' they say not a function. The sphere of sex can increase and even can become a way of life, an identity, a defining characteristic, in fact many lifestyles are built around it. In this day, this is very easy to see. 

With fascination and identification a thing takes on a state that is much bigger than it really is. The classical example of "making a mountain out of a molehill". Identification exaggerates and veers away from the real, where the real is seen as disappointing or scary.


When there is fascination or identification the view taken is not trustworthy as being true.

A way of life was first a recurrence that later became a habit that later became a way of life.

When something is a life style we are in "hook line and sinker". 

The esoteric view is one of freedom and the societal view is one of being trapped. 

Being in the esoteric or the common societal all has to do with will. In the higher there is the will to be free and in the lower there is the will to need.

To effect a real change, a transmutation of will is required and this is difficult as the will in every aspect of ourselves is always strong. Will is strength. But with will it can be done. 

To transform will one needs a higher purpose. 

To transform 'need' to freedom is the question. The consciousness helps by cutting away the false, showing the real, revealing the higher and the way to shift to the higher.

In this case, of transforming 'need' to freedom, the key is making the esoteric view the new ‘need'. In the esoteric view, in the reaches of the Being freedom is found.

Energy follows will. Where we direct our will to, our energy will flow to. If our will is to the lower, our energy will flow there and activate and powerfully engage the lower. If will is to the higher it will flow there and infuse with the higher and start blending us into the higher.

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...
