Curiosity an Animal 'I'

Curiosity an Animal 'I' - (3974)

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.

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...
