Adultery from the Esoteric Point of View - (344)

Definition

Is to mix two elements where there was only one element to there should only be one element.

This post is mostly about seeing adultery from a broader perspective, focusing on that general characteristic of adultery that that applies to everything no only marriage that adultery drops the value of things.

In General

Adultery does not only exist in the field of men, women, sex, marriage and relationships but in many other fields as well.

We adulterate ideas, objects, people, plants, animals, plans, actions, knowledge, doctrines, music, metals, substances, languages etc. When we mix what is already in place with other elements we adulterate things.

We can adulterate gold for example by introducing other elements and then the resulting mixture is no longer pure gold. And of course the price drops, adultery usually always drops the value of things. I think that pure gold is more valuable than any alloy or mixture of gold and something else. 

The key to know that a kind of adultery has occurred is when the result is less in value than the original or the function of the original has been totally diverted. Sometimes we interfere and the result is bad, where adding in extra things didn’t help. This is a classic adultery.

There is also the case where we add something in such as adding titanium to gold and the result is a very strong gold alloy, which is great for some uses but this alloy has a new function that the pure gold didn’t really have.

Interesting Point

It seems that classic adultery is very damaging. Truly it is, it destroys. The following quotes in these images actually say it all. Adultery is very self-destroying and relationship destroying.

Purity a Natural State

Purity is to be all one thing and not a mixture of other things. We are pure when we dissolve the ego. Because then we are not a mixture we are pure essence. If we want to be pure we also have to dissolve our contradictions and search for unity. Purity is one thing which when we dissolve the ego becomes all Being and so purity is a natural state of unity.

Conclusion

Adultery is recognised by a result that devalues the original or side tracks its original function.

We when make mistakes we adulterate or introduce into our system values that were not originally present. Then we unbalance our own system and we of course unbalance our own interior scale, or set of scales. Then we have to seek to balance those scales and therefore our system by removing those values that were introduced into our system by the mistake.
