Lust and Anger - Main Components of Modern Sexuality - (2575)

Introduction

The following is an edited and adapted section of a document that a fellow missionary wrote on the defect of anger.


Modern Sexuality

The common modern form of sexuality today is one that is founded on the two columns of lust and anger.


It seems that what people these days exhibit in many areas of daily life, especially related to sexuality, is this combination of lust and anger.


This makes sense as the three largest "I's" that we all have are lust, anger and pride.


I think that the most common and also the strongest combinations are: pride and anger, pride and lust and anger and lust.


It is also these combinations that hold a person's level of Being low.


Four Levels

There are four levels of manifestation of the anger-lust combination which follow the three ways anger manifests, which are with the: mind, word and body. 


There are two aspects to all three ways in which anger manifests. These anger directed either against ourselves or against others.


First Level - Word

The first level of manifestation of the anger and lust combination, is in the word. Here the word is used derogatively when speaking about sex. 


Swear words are all related to sex and many jokes that belittle people, and are spoken with ill-intent (anger) have to do with sex or the sexual organs.


There is also an aggressive way of about the sexual act and during the sexual act which comes from anger.


This level follows the anger in the word manifestation. 


Second Level - Mind and Body Related to Ourselves

The second level of manifestation concerns the fulfillment of sexual pleasure through one's own mind and body.


Often aggressive thoughts of various intensity and actions towards oneself are used to arouse the sexual center. 


Third - Mind Ourselves and Body Others 

This third level is expressed in the sexual act through different intensity levels of aggression. Here anger and lust first manifests within the person through mental forms and is then directed outwardly to affect the body of another person.


Fourth - Mind Others and Body Others

The most manifest of the four levels includes activities that submit the physical body of others to torture and cruelty in order to experience sexual pleasure.

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...
