Fourth Post: Principles of the Psychological Moon - (881)

Introduction

Below in list form are some of the principles of the psychological moon. By that I mean some of the ways that the psychological moon works in us or some of the principles that the psychological moon operates by.


One

The psychology of the periphery, that is the psychological structure where the essence is at the centre and the egos are sent away to the periphery and not allowed to occupy the central command post of our psychology. This implies constant vigilance of our psychology.

Two

The firm understanding that we will be alright without the ego. We are happy, fine, better off and don’t need the ego.

Three

Always think to activate focus on, use and decide by and for the consciousness.

Four

Know your own business and stay in it. That is primarily don’t try to go into another’s psychology wondering what they are thinking and why they are thinking this or that. Trying to make them love or not love or think this or that about us.

Five

Know what is your job and do it. That is know that it is your job to make yourself happy, to make yourself feel well, to feed yourself, look after yourself and to keep that relationship with yourself going well, very well.

Six

Know that all that we lack comes from the inside and can be compensated from inside. We don’t need to get things from outside to compensate that which can only be filled from the inside. This makes us independent from the outside and so we can determine our state of consciousness at will, and not depend on others being happy with us so that we can be happy with ourselves.


Seven

Die by using the psychology of the periphery. Die psychologically by starving the ego, that is by keeping the ego at the periphery of our psychology always.

Eight

Know that what we are in a given moment is the consciousness and a state of consciousness.

Nine

One is always well, more or less always well. With the essence at the centre and being the essence we are always fine, even if a huge ego is bothering us. When besieged by the ego we take refuge in that ball of essence where there is some refuge from the woes of the ego bothering us.

Ten

Know our real identity. That of the consciousness and make that your identity. Don’t assume the identity of the personality or any ego.

Eleven

The capacity to contrast and decide by virtue of the result of the contrast. Contrast is to bring two different values or possibilities together, and the result of bringing these two different things together produces light or understanding and this result of the contrast.

Twelve

There is separation from everything including our own thoughts and emotions.

Thirteen

Always stay connected to reality, the psychological moon adheres to reality and seeks reality in every situation. The “should” then is dissolved and the real is seen and accepted, that is the “should be”, “should have” etc. which is of our mind not being connected to reality is forgotten or dissolved.

Fourteen

The permanent centre of gravity on the consciousness has a truer perspective on everything. Love for example. Not being awakened we would not understand someone who is awakened talking about love. They may say there is only self-love, that what a person loves about another is only ever a projection and because an awakened person only projects clearly him or herself and the awakened person has love inside the awakened person loves the other which is the awakened person’s projection. We can only give what we have so if we don't have self-love we can't give love to others.

Fifteen

It is our job to be happy, it is not our job to get others to love us, is it is there business to love us and it is our job to love them or not. The psychological moon does not work getting others to love us so that so that we can then love them back.

Sixteen

We are always and only within ourselves and we only even in all our experiences only experience ourselves. Whatever another does to us, it is only the thoughts, emotions and our sensations that we don’t like, it is not really what they have done but what it produces in us.


Seventeen

Sacred individuality. The psychological moon is the beginning of sacred individuality. It is where we act from the inside out and not from the outside in. This means that we keep to our principles and are not swayed from what happens outside of us.


Conclusion

There are so many more principles, but as I think you can gleam here the principles of the psychological moon are the opposite of the principles of the state of our psychology when we do not have the essence at the centre of our psychology permanently.

End (881).

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...
