In the book "Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology" Master Samael says that curiosity is actually an animal "I".
This always surprised me and actually helps me at the same time. One sees lust, laziness, gluttony, anger, violence etc. all as animal but curiosity somehow does not quite seem that way. However, looking more closely we see that it is.
Observing animals we see that so many of them are curious. Especially cats. So often we also see that their curiosity gets them no good result.
Seeing that it is an animal characteristic we have the motivation to do something about it, or at least we can get suspicious about it - thinking that it is something that is not all that beneficial.
There is a difference between being curious and inquisitive. An inquisitive person inquires in a natural way to find knowledge, to know for the sake of knowledge, of understanding, but a curious person looks, searches to find out for some hidden reason, out of some suspicion usually, out of some distrust, out of some of suspicious hunch, out of some desire, out of some kind of boredom, out of some emptiness etc. etc.
Curiosity feeds lust and is a really terrible servant or ally of lust. Maybe because of curiosity we would not have fallen or have the karma we have or have the lust we have either.
End (3974).
