Simple Observation on the Nature of Lust

Simple Observation on the Nature of Lust - (4056)

Post Revised: 07/02/2024

Lust is sexuality without that benevolence of sincere good willed consideration of the other person.

Because lust does not have this element of benevolence and sincere good willed consideration towards the other, it has the opposite element instead. Which is an element that has the quality (varies in degrees) of being selfish, ill-willed, subtly against the other in various guises, etc. All the various branches of infra-sexuality take their origin from this element - in fact all of infra-sexuality has the element of being against oneself or the other, whether it be subtle or expressly amplified or very strangely amplified.

This element gives lust that strange flavour which is also very similar to the flavour of the ego that is about losing the sexual energy, which deep within it carries ill-will, as losing the sexual energy is an act of ill-will towards one's Inner Being.

The conscious knowledge of this one element is very powerful and gives a person, if they work on it well the ability to change or turn the nature of their sexuality around, and fill themselves with a new benevolent peaceful flavour that is inwardly more integral, wholesome and authentically happier.

Naturally, one person who has the benevolent at work will not be at peace with a person who has the opposite and the person who has the opposite will not be satisfied with the one who has the benevolent.

Transmutation is a benevolent current, that makes one's whole system genuinely at peace with oneself, that then brings a superior contentment at the level of our essence. The opposite of transmutation brings the opposite of that. Its contentment is not real as quickly it turns to bitterness and more desiring.

One sees also that in Alchemy that ill-willed element gets displaced and dissolved as the benevolent element is the one that is active and governs, because that work is for the benefit of both the two souls and the two Monads.

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...
