Introduction
There are quite a few things that we must rescue within ourselves.
“Rescue what from whom?” you may ask. Rescue our word, our imagination, our
sexual force, our will, our senses, our mind, our emotion, from the various
egos.
It is really a precious faculty. It has many positive uses
in life, in our esoteric practices and as a means to acquire knowledge.
This post is about rescuing our imagination.
Rescue Imagination from Fantasy
Master Samael says that we all have the ability to see and
that ability to see is our faculty of imagination. He also says that imagination
is clairvoyance. He says that everyone is clairvoyant to some degree.
As with everything, there is duality within us and we have the
other side of imagination which is fantasy. Fantasy uses the faculty of seeing within
us. However, it uses it incoherently, unrealistically, illogically and
mechanically.
We have to rescue our imagination from the egos that wish to
use it to see. The ego uses it to create scenarios to fulfil its desires if it
can not fulfil here in reality. Or the ego uses fantasy to see how it can fulfil
desires. It creates scenarios about the possibilities of how its desires can be
fulfilled.
The next post after this one will go into fantasy in more
depth.
Why Rescue Imagination
Here is a very powerful time worn and experienced to
satiation reason why it is worth while working daily to rescue our imagination
from fantasy.
Fantasy = Stress
Fantasy produces stress, it strains our brain, our mind and our
heart. Fantasy actually uses up large resources of mental, emotional and sexual
energy. After fantasy we are left hurting, drained, less lucid, a little
confused, disappointed, a little down, a little dizzy and a loser – because we have
gained nothing and have lost a lot.
Anyway here is the big reason, when we use imagination or
fantasy our brain begins to see what is being imagined in our mind as real and
so it begins to send signals to the body accordingly. If we are imagining
something scary the brain will begin to send signals to the body to get ready
to escape. Our heart begins to race, our nerves get edgy, our solar plexus
begins to churn and we become agitated. If we are seeing erotic images in our
mind our sexual centre gets activated as if we were to experience what we are
seeing.
Fantasy Squeezes Our Brain
Fantasy forces our brain to make a huge effort to adapt our
body to what we are fantasising about, and because it is not reality and is not
in our nature our brain has to change things and this is what uses up heaps of
energy and actually hurts our brain.
Fantasy is stressful and it is not relaxing at all.
Seeing the flow of our life and being present here right now
in our own reality is relaxing and is our only resting place, or well our best
resting place.
