We Put Ourselves into Psychological Jail - (2952)

Karmic Psychology

In general when a person breaks the law they can go to jail, depending on the law. Fair enough, that is the law. When they have served their time, they are out, their debt paid and a new life begins. They can live rightfully so as a free person and enjoy life just as much as anyone else. If their psychology co-operates that is. Otherwise the person can psychologically stay in jail continuing to punish themselves, feeling unworthy, guilty, wretched, below society etc.

This psychology of punishing ourselves is what we can call karmic psychology and takes up residence in our psychology when we are paying karma and even after the karma has been paid.

A person can err and not break the law of the country. But none the less that person can him or herself into jail by creating a total downwards change in their psychological structure that lowers, doubts and humiliates themselves.

Many people even feel like this without having made an error in years. This tells us that their version of the karmic psychology is active within them. It also tells us that they created this karmic psychology at some point in the past, because obviously they erred. We have all erred. We can not judge. We don;t even know most of the time how we have erred.


The interesting thing about karmic psychology is that we end up paying our debts but the karmic psychology stays. So we must adapt our psychology to the new state which is a state clear of that debt. Knowing that our debt has been paid we don't have to keep that structure alive anymore of lowering, humiliating, doubting, feeling guilty, anxious, worried, uncomfortable, in life. 

The purpose of that structural set-up of our psychology has been served and it no longer serves a purpose and we must adapt our psychology to suit the new conditions.

Even people after some months in Gnosis develop the symptoms of karmic psychology becasue why? Because their karma accelerates and deep down they know it and their own version of the karmic psychology takes hold from within the subconscious and stays there in the background.

Actively working to pay our karma helps to shift this background state.

End (2952).

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...
