Idolatry of the Sexual - (4053)

An interesting point is this one. 


Within the fascinating or hypnotising power that lust has is this element of idolising sex. If the hypnotic power of lust is somehow diminished the idolising of sex will also diminish.


This element explains why so many people imitate in their sexuality the impressions that are propagated here and there.



No one would care or even think about imitating something that was not of a idol like status.


Anything that is not the Being in ourselves is a false idol. The real and true idol is really our Inner Being. 


There are people and that is all they talk about, because they idolise the sexual and all its ramifications, offshoots, implications and connotations etc. 


There are people that most of their life revolves around sex. There are people where their inner life is nearly all about sex and the sexual, nearly all that they say has a double meaning related to sex.


It is the origin of our existence and its energy of creativity and life is everywhere and in everything but the sexual act and the sexual is not part of work at the office, or on the bus or walking in the city or driving the car or doing things at home or studying at university or at school or walking the dog down the street etc. 


To give it idol status is a mistake. To give something idol status means to make it the centre of our life, to give nearly all our mind and heart to something. Sex is from the Being and is of the Being, however giving it idol status divorces it from the Being.


The correct thing to do is to give the Being idol status and then see sexuality as something for the Being and used within the Being. Then we get it right. 


Well anyway the most important thing here is to see if this point of idolatry is true, and if it is, begin to reflect and see if really the idolatry of the sexual exists within us and if it does, does it have too much importance, is it is too exaggerated etc.? If it is then we have the remedy, which is to give the Being first place and see sexuality for the Being and used within the principles and qualities of the Being. 


Sexual energy, sexuality, sexual act etc., all come from the Being, not that the Being comes from sex or the sexual act. 


End (4053).

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...
