Psychological Man Series: 2 - (3297)

Introduction

As mentioned before, the psychological man is the one who thinks psychologically. So to develop the theme of the psychological man or person within our interior we need to first know what psychological thinking is so that we can develop it.

Psychological Thinking

Psychological thinking is to think by virtue of the psychological work. Don't worry I will expand upon this.

Psychology is the link between the physical and the esoteric. Psychological thinking starts with the three dimensional physical thinking and ends with esoteric thinking. It is the go between the two realities.

To arrive at the esoteric way of thinking we must develop the psychological way of thinking first.

Start of Psychological Thinking

The first important point to do with psychological thinking is what Master Samael says, which is to understand that every person has their particular psychology.

We don't so easily see that - believe it or not. We only perceive something like air or a kind of empty space in our head. We don't realise that we have a particular psychology.

So then if we have a specific psychology the most logical question to ask is: "If I have a particular psychology then how is it? What does it look like? What colour is it, how does it smell, how does it feel etc. etc.?"

Understanding that we have a particular psychology has several profound implications.

We first of all don't so easily see our particular psychology, we only see it when our psychology comes into contact with the psychology of others. That is - when our psychology clashes with the psychology of others. Through that clash we can get to know our psychology.

So we need the clashes with other people. When we clash we should be very observant to catch information about our own psychology - in particular about how it is, how is it all set up, and in what direction does it point to etc.

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...
