Sensual Love Posts: 3.3) Buddha and the Serpent Legend - (3891)

This post concentrates on the practical work aspects of the legend.




So here are the practical lessons.

Keep seeing sexuality from the spiritual side and keep oneself in the spiritual side and all will go fine. Deal with sexuality from above from within the spiritual, that is with a spiritual goal, using methods that direct the sexual currents inwards and upwards operated with a clear mind.

To free ourselves from the tight grip of sensuality we need to remember the help of the Divine Mother. We have to remember the spiritual aspect. The best way is make the human lower nature smaller, less active and call the superior.

We need to die in the desires and wrong functioning of the sexual centre with the help of the Divine Mother.

We have to contend with desire and the wrong functionings of the sexual centre using transmutation and the death of the egos sending the impulses, respectively. Otherwise the related egos come back and back again causing us problems.

We also need to call upon the spiritual teachings to do with sexuality. The main and essential one being the transmutation. The teachings provide us with a way to balance sexuality, to sublimate it and enter into the sphere of its superior aspect, which is the fire, the divinity within.  

The humility aspect is very important because the serpent is so astute and it can get us when we least expect it and so if we are thinking we are heroes we will be struck easily becoming entrapped once again.

With humility we are always aware of our strengths and weaknesses and we develop an attitude of being ready and aware whenever we need to protect ourselves from danger. When we think we are going well that is not such a good way of thinking it is always best to be wary, on the look out within us for imminent danger. 

Prayer, transmutation and psychological death solve this problem. Really embracing the transmutation with a joy greater than what the lower nature can give us, decisively solves this issue.

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...
