Third Post: What is the Psychological Moon or Permanent Centre of Gravity in the Consciousness? - (876)

Supplementary Points on: What is it?

This post adds to the previous post by providing some more complimentary information about the psychological moon and the permanent centre of gravity in the consciousness.


What is the Centre of Gravity in the Consciousness

We can have for a moment our centre of gravity on our consciousness but to have it permanently on our consciousness is another thing. Despite this, that is our goal.

The question arises what is a centre of gravity? In practical human terms it is the place upon which the majority of our thinking and feeling converge upon, and it is the point upon which we, most of the time act out of and for. It is what occupies the majority of our time and our attention. Everything in our life tends to revolve around that point. More or less the majority of our activities gravitate to that one point.


Everyone has a Centre of Gravity

A truth - though not a very obvious one, is that all of us have a centre of gravity placed on something. It at first may not seem so but we with some careful observation can see that we do have our particular centre of gravity. We have to have one, because every living thing has a centre of gravity physically, psychologically and esoterically.

We could all have our centre of gravity on different things, but in a very general sense they will all fall under either the consciousness or the personality.

We have to do a search in order to discover where our centre of gravity is, mostly in the beginning it is has to do with our personality. If our centre of gravity revolves around a hobby, our family, our roles in life, our work or job, our persona, our clothes, our fashion, our car, our internet profile, our etc. etc. we can be sure that we have our centre of gravity in our personality.

The goal is to gradually bit by bit transfer our centre of gravity from our personality to our consciousness.


The Authentic Original Centre of Gravity

The real and truer place for our centre of gravity to be on is the rock bottom truth, because what is real is the most stable thing in the universe. What is true or real remains and persists under all circumstances and conditions.

When it comes to us and we want to talk about what is real and true, then we have to talk about what we really are. On the surface we are the personality but behind that mask of the personality we are something different. We are the essence or the consciousness.

Our essence or consciousness is the right or truthful or natural place for us to be centred on. We should be centred on what we really are, that is our attention should be on what we are. That is why connecting to reality is the major part of the centre of gravity. When we are not cetnred on reality it always always hurts. We will see more about this in a later post which will be about "the premises of the centre of gravity on our consciousness or the psychological moon".


Conclusion

We originally before the fall or the fragmenting of our consciousness into the many “I’s” we had our centre of gravity on our consciousness but that has all changed and now it is on our personality which is only a mask. The work of creating a permanent centre of gravity on our consciousness starts by seeing or understanding this. Knowing that we are consciousness is about 90% of that realisation.

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...
