Every time we conquer the temptations our lower nature exposes us to, we acquire new strength
"Every time we conquer the temptations our lower nature exposes us to, we acquire new strength. The difficulty, of course, is in maintaining this state of grace. As long as we are on earth, we cannot remain for very long on the heights we have managed to reach. We must struggle each time to re-conquer them. When we leave the earth for the world beyond, we will no longer need to struggle, for we will no longer be subject to temptations. But as long as we are here, we must strive, until the very last minute.

To better understand this idea, you can compare it with eating and breathing – we ate yesterday, we must eat today as well, and tomorrow we will have to eat again. We have just taken a breath, and straight away we have to do the same again. One experience has allowed us to understand the meaning of life, but in order not to lose this meaning we must create another experience and then another. We may have overcome one temptation, but we will again be tempted, and again we will have to try to win the battle."

Re: Every time we conquer the temptations our lower nature exposes us to, we acquire new strength
The permanent state can be had here while we are still incarnated on the Earth. When the sexual energy is rechanneled, turned upwards and retained within the body, powerful forces of the lower nature are stimulated against our will. When we directly oppose those Astral/emotional forces, then a state of permanent peace of the mind is attained. This takes time and attention to turn back, or zero out, each of these forces as they come up, over a lengthy retraining process, but it can be done.


When our mind is at peace then we go about our daily lives with that background - of Awareness, perhaps - always within us. We don't get upset so easily.


Thanks for the post. It's a good post, OP.

Cheers.

Love and Sexuality

Preamble

Because it offers a comprehension of love and sexuality according to an Initial Philosophy: for discovering the divine gift of what Plato talked about in the Symposium: “Here is, so I declare it, the energy of love (eros) is, the most ancient and worthiest, among gods. It has the greatest titles for driving the man on the virtue and happiness way, both in life and in kingdom of afterlife”. So, we set out some reflections drawn by the disciplines of the Initial Philosophy (kabbala, alchemy, symbolism, tarots, astrology, yoga tantra) with the hope to furnish, to our visitors, internal stimulus to analyze and to face up better the demonstration of love and sexuality in the daily life.

What does initial philosophy bring about original, compared with the generic philosophical religious approach, and compared with that psychoanalytical and psychological?

Concretely, how can love (platonic winged eros) conduct us on this way, predicted by many evolved creatures? How to direct this extraordinary energy towards the predestinate aim and not stopped at halfway? So, what is the predestinate half? Does this aim involve sadness, inexpressible privations and the cessation of the pleasure? Or, is it an approaching to a new pleasure, more intense and thinner, to new joys? Moreover, this sense would have a spiritual run if this had to conduct to sadness and privation?

Probably, it only need substitute a rough, temporary and carrier, in the time of poisons and bitterness, pleasure with another kind of pleasure which develops light, knowledge, joy and generosity. The fear to abdicate the most immediate pleasure, stops sometimes the enter and the experimentation of ancient truths.

Is this love, that man knows in the affective sphere, different from love that move the sun and the other stars" of which Dante, the Supreme Poet ("L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle" in Paradise XXXIII, 145) talked about?

That this energy can help us to fly and ,so, to feed our spiritual centers (chakra), symbolically, it is well-known since the antiquity. In fact, The winged dragon, fantastic animal knew to all the mythologies and at present also in the Christian iconography, is the symbol of the existing instinctive strengths in the man and of their possible transformation. Subduing and steering these strength to use them as mean of propulsion towards the most elevated peaks of the spirit, represents the deep sense of the spiritual run that everyone is, or it will be, called to complete it.

The predestination of the man is to develop, here on the earth, his divine quality and the sexual energy. The energy of love is the resource, inseparable from the practice of the virtues, predestinate to feed the development of the spiritual organs of the man (chakra).

It is necessary to add that it doesn't mean to dominate the sexual energy for not committing a sin, but it means to sublime it... it doesn't need to repress it, but to sensitize it, and to direct it upward; this is its predestination and it brings suffering or mere renouncement in the man. But to enrich him, to give him more elevated and more intense joys, that’s why, if energy goes upward, it feeds the spiritual, extraordinary centers (chakras) that everyone has got effectively, if also to the latent state, made exception for the evolved creatures, the geniuses and above all the Saints whose spiritual gifts are apparent and visible to everybody.

Certainly it is not an easy job, whose result can be programmed to temporal level. It doesn't deal with applying mental techniques in theory, tout court, but to develop, day by day, with humility, simplicity and tolerance also towards themselves, a state of conscience, a whole of so many small daily behaviors more and more elevated, so a day it can be tasted, also on the earth, that fullness, that joy to which our soul strongly and naturally long for.

The trick is finding the one whom shares in the alchemy. Most are not receptive to such talk.

Surprisingly, bostova, the Peace spreads. It affects the environment as well as ourselves. It doesn't need to be verbalized.

Even if we have our little oases in the desert, enjoy them.
