Thinking Psychologically and Esoterically - (328)

Foundation

The foundation of thinking psychological is to see ourselves as an essence end think based upon exercising the values of the work, which are also the values of the essence.

If we think by virtue of co-operation, conscious love, peace, balance etc. we are thinking psychologically.


Thinking Esoterically

To think esoterically is another point here as well. This means to think based upon the esoteric teachings.

To think esoterically we have to know well first of all the esoteric teachings. For example, knowing the teachings about life and death will make us to think differently about our activities and our priorities in life.

When we think psychologically and esoterically we change our values and we perform a transvaluation.

It is worth spending some time here talking about cooperation. Which is to give something to a common cause that transcends ourselves.


Co-Operation

Co-operation' is against pride and selfishness. We need always to co-operate with everything else. With others, those whom we live with, our Being, our essence, the groups and the society we live with. We have to co-operate with the laws and rules of society, of the groups we belong to and the Cosmos.

Usually the mistakes made by other egos mysteriously in the background strengthen pride and arrogance. Co-operating with honesty and responsibility avoids this strengthening of pride and arrogance.

Cooperation is usually operating something in conjunction with others. Not operating-by ourselves serving our personal interests.


Conclusion

In short if we think with co-operation and good will we are thinking psychologically and if we think based on the esoteric teachings we are thinking esoterically.

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...
