Dragons of the East and West - Typhon and Lucifer

Dragons of the East and West - Typhon and Lucifer - (5639)

In myth and legend, if we look at the dragons of the East and the West we see a clear difference.

The difference being, that the dragons of the west appear malevolent while those of the East appear benevolent - the opposite.

The dragons of the west were not understood by human beings and often feared. They have suffered much at the hands of human beings, and are bitter and resentful, bearing grudges against man and are very destructive, wreaking havoc on towns and villages. They tend to use their powers for more physical human purposes, yet they are wise and magical.

The dragons of the east are wise and kind, and like to be sought for help and advice. They often stand as guardians and custodians of the lakes, rivers, valleys and mountains. They stand as the essence of magic and are in many cases the door ways to mystical knowledge and dimensions.

What both dragons have in common is wisdom and magic. The use of these two attributes differ in the west and the east, according to myth.

East and West always represent a duality, sunrise and sunset, that is the two opposite poles of the one thing. In this respect, the west and east represent the two poles of the dragon. Which are the two poles of the psychological trainer within us: the Typhon Baphomet and Lucifer.

The dragons of the west represent the Typhon, misunderstood, feared and always used wrongly for human advantage, while the dragons of the East represent Lucifer - divine, benevolent, magical, wise and the conferrer of magical power and knowledge.

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...
