Analyse the Question of Pleasing Desire

Analyse the Question of Pleasing Desire - (4986)

Here is a question that may enter our minds from time to time.

We feel desires about this and that, and naturally the question comes to mind: satisfy the desire or not satisfy the desire?

If we satisfy the desire we will feel satisfied? Or an ego will feel satisfied? But then we ask would that be good to do that or not good to do that?

If we don't satisfy the desire we will feel unsatisfied and lacking, missing something, but then we feel that we want our consciousness to come and fill that lacking with new comprehension, which is a superior kind of satisfaction that brings what is called contentment.

Comprehension is like the satisfaction of the consciousness.

Comprehension created by the consciousness, counter balances the lacking feeling of not pleasing desire.

Many times when we do please a desire we feel afterwards that it is a fault on our part or a fault on the part of our consciousness. A fault where we should have listened to our consciousness because it knew that the consequences would not serve us well, or a fault where our consciousness wasn't made to work to have shown us that the consequences would not be beneficial.

The general formula or way to get the consciousness to speak, is to not fulfill the desire and then to bring our consciousness: reflecting, contrasting, comprehending why not to please the desire by seeing the results/consequences.

The above is a very interesting quote. A really good one in fact. The many desires that we have are those that can be satisfied so easily so quickly, so they are mundane, mediocre etc. The desires that can't be satisfied are the spiritual ones as we work all of several lifetimes to arrive at satisfying them.

It's always best to convert dark to light. To not go with the subconscious. The subconscious creates sufferings later on and miscommunications, whereas the conscious creates ease because it makes the light to shine and we feel comfortable in the light as all is clear to us and to others.

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...
