Common Modern Tantra is Grey - (3937)

Nearly all of the tantra that is out there and available to people to learn about in workshops and retreats and things like that is grey.


Grey means people retain the sexual energy but then at other times lose it.


White means to never lose the sexual energy and the energy is transmuted for the purpose of union with God, with the Being 


Black means the constant loss of the seminal entity for any reason, whether it be pleasure or magical/esoteric.


Black or white tantra may start out as grey. However, keeping things at grey will turn black, or the results will be the same but less intense. As we know in all areas of life, sitting on the fence leads to 'no-where'.


Of course there are degrees and degrees of grey. There are some tones of grey that approach black and then there are some that approach white.


The tantra that is popular everywhere is grey, in the sense that people decide to transmute the sexual energy and retain it or transmute it and lose it. There isn't consistancy in retaining the energy.


In grey tantra what is constant is the reason to keep it but what is variable are the reasons to lose it. Indicating a lack of definition, seriousness or understanding and knowledge of the Alchemical work. 


Grey tantra has the tantric teachings as a base and also a certain wisdom and philosophy which is above the ordinary knowledge of life, sexuality, energy and even the spirit.


A serious seeker can not fully trust their wisdom and philosophy as they do not talk about the dissolution of the "I", and the "I" knows no limits, it infiltrates everything, even the sacred.


The "I's" of lust and fornication basically refine and morph themselves into the world of tantra.


In grey tantra or modern tantra you will not find the initiatic path or the way to the Being.


If one has the teachings clear about the transmutation and the dissolution of the "I" one will detect where their wisdom and philosophy skews into the grey and into the esoteric field that is both unrealistic and over romantic - precisely where many "I's" of desire hide themselves..

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...
