Second Post: Psychological Moon or Permanent Centre of Gravity in the Consciousness - (875)

What is it?

This post addresses the question of what is it really.

Question

What is the psychological moon or the permanent centre of gravity ion the consciousness?

Answer

It basically means that we have our consciousness steadfastly positioned at the centre of our psyche. Which implies that what is active in us is the consciousness, meaning that the consciousness in us is the one governing our psychological processes, opposed to the mind, ego or egos and personality being in control of our inner processes.

In other words the consciousness takes on the role of the governing or active principle in our psyche and the mind, ego and personality take a step back into the passive role.

Implications

For the above to happen within us, it must mean that the essence or consciousness is sufficiently large to displace the majority of the personality, mind and ego or egos, and if a large ego happens to take control, the consciousness can be used at will to displace it.

We could say that the size of the consciousness must be greater than the size of any ego that we have. Because in the end it is a battle of forces, where the stronger force prevails.

Apart from the size of the consciousness being such that it can displace the other egos the person who has the psychological moon or permanent centre of gravity in the consciousness must have disciplined his or her attention to make the consciousness active all of the time or the greater majority of the time.

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...
