The Fire and Desire Link - (4426)

Fire is always associated with desire. The reason why is because fire always consumes and more is needed to be consumed for fire to continue existing. 


Fire consumes because it transforms matter into energy. That is, it releases the energy from matter. It rarefies matter.


So the desire will always be there as long as there is fire. So the wise point for us to note here is to know what we feed fire. 


Because if we are feeding fire unwholesome energies or the fire in us will desire more of this. Our sexual and digestive system are fire and so if we give our digestive system junk food the fire in our digestive system will desire more junk food and we'll become very unhealthy. The same with our sexual system.


There is a lot of fire in us. Our psyche is full of fire. So each of the different fires have their different materials that they consume. 


The fire element in our digestive system consumes food.


The spiritual fire of the Divine Mother - Kundalini consumes spiritual energy or transmuted energy. It is selective in the food it consumes. If we give it low quality energies it will starve. But if we give the fire of the Kundalini merits, heart felt wishes and yearnings and the values of psychological death it thrives and ascends. 


The key is to feed the right fires for our spiritual growth. The wrong fires are our egos and they are fed with different food. We do this by intaking the right food. So it means to take in the right food for the essence and make sure the essence in us gets that food. Because fire is fire it can consume almost anything  given the right amount of time...

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...
