We Develop it in Gnosis
In the work on ourselves we come across at some point the need to develop what Master Samael calls psychological thinking. Which in a nutshell is to think by virtue of our psychological work.
What I want to do with this post is to just define the term: 'psychological thinking'.
Normal Thinking - By Virtue of Physicality
Our normal way of thinking is to just think by virtue of our senses, sensations and the way things in the three dimensions interact. There is not much involvement of values or ethics.
The problem a Gnostic instructor fights against with his or her students, is this way of thinking in relation to sexuality and to esotericism.
If people think about sexuality only in terms of senses and sensations and they discern between wrong and right based only on what pleases the senses, it will be so difficult for such a person to accept supra-sexuality. Because everything that pleases the senses is good to them but within the psychological and esoteric realm this is certainly not always true.
If people only think in terms of matter then accepting the spirit, magic, the soul, the masters becomes very difficult. However, if one is to add a psychological dimension to their thinking then one will open oneself up to the esoteric. Because at some point one will begin to wonder where do the principles that rule my psychology come from... the spirit.

Psychological Thinking
The psychological way of thinking discerns based on what will improve our psychological well-being or what will damage it.
Psychological thinking considers cause and effect within our own psychology as well as externally in our physical life and in the psychological and physical lives of others.
Psychological thinking looks for the cause of life's events within our psychology. Psychological thinking does not ignore that we are a multiplicity and through this one fact offers us the ability to understand human behaviour.

Psychological thinking is concerned with the cultivation of the values of the essence within our psychology.
As soon as we begin to take into account our own psychology and the psychology of others in our life's events and interactions we are beginning to think psychologically.
Conclusion
Basically one needs the psychological way of thinking to succeed in the work, and to succeed in the path one needs to merge psychological thinking with esoteric thinking. which is another topic all together.
