What I have Learnt from Working on Lust - (372)

Introduction

Here are a few things that I can remember that I have learnt from working on the egos of lust and the defect of lust in general.


1.)

Trying to dissolve the ego we learn the truth about the nature of the thing that the ego is a distortion of. For example dissolving lust we learn the truth about sexuality, because lust and its various “I’s” are a distortion of sexuality.


2.)

Sexuality is a major function in us and nearly everything in our life is because of it, depends on it and revolves around it. Therefore working on lust changes our perspective of life and takes us to the vertical to the path.


3.)

The bigger the ego the more ignorant we are about the true nature of which the ego is a distortion of. When we are very lustful we know almost nothing of sexuality.


4.)

When we see sexuality in a cosmic sense, in the wider perspective it takes away some force from lust because lust only sees sexuality as the sexual organs and the sexual act.


5.)

The hypnotic grip of the ego of lust is that of the promise of pleasure. It is a thinking process with the sexual centre intervening, it is a kind of sexual thinking devoid of the advice from the other centres.


6.)

We can have a sexual manifestation and that is fine and natural and if the mind is naturally quite there is no problem at all the manifestation will subside by itself or we can transmute it.

If we put into our understanding that the mind is the one gives the sexual impulse a direction then depending on what is in our mind we have the rise of lust or not. What we have in the mind is the determining factor. If we have nothing then there is no lust.


7)

Lust is a search for love and acceptance, and unity but through another and through the senses, sensations and the sexual act.


8.)

Lust is unhappiness and the loss of peace in us.


9.)

Lust is like a war in us. Mind against sex, or emotion against sex, we disconnect from the sexual force in us. Integration with sex in a conscious and dignifying way fixes this.


10.)

Lust disconnects us from wholeness and oneness, it divides us.


11.)

A function of lust is to always lower our level of Being.


12.)

Lust is linked with all the other egos.


13.)

Working on lust brings us concentration, because we have unity in us.


14.)

Working on lust (diminishing it with comprehension) brings us peace, relaxation, strength, vitality and energy.


15.)

Lust does not equal love.


16.)

Working on lust allows us feelings of altruism and stops selfishness. Lust connects us to our fantasy and desires.

Working on lust connects us to real people. Lust connects us to mental people, images, scenarios and fantasy.


17.)

Some things we think are right to do are not actually done in society or are wrong and we need to learn all these things which are ok and not ok. Working on lust teaches us these things.


18.)

Transmutation is the solution, the magic biological key that channels the sexual drive and energy.


19.)

Don't feed lust, it only gets worse!


20.)

Lust is ultimately dissolved through the work of Alchemy. We can do a lot of work on it being single removing much lustful concepts, images etc. from the mind though ultimately lust finds its end through the transmutation and the artifice that created it (sex).


Conclusion

Some points to think about that I hope of are of some help.


End (372).

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this.  In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
