Psychological Man Series: 4 - (3306)

Psychological Thinking

To develop the psychological man we need the psychological thinking. Why? Because, the psychological man thinks psychologically. Also, all change, all transformation and all creation unfolds first from the world of thinking.

Naturally, psychological thinking leads us to esoteric thinking.

The psychological man is intimately linked to the Human Soul and the Intimate Christ. The Christ principle is an hybrid, an intermediary between spirit that matter that once sent by the spirit works to redeem matter, what is below. The Christ principle is the balance between what is below and what is above. It controls both below and above and integrates them both in wisdom, love and intelligence.

Psychological thinking is exactly in the middle between the physical or terrestrial thinking and the spiritual. The human soul and the Christ principle work through the psychological man and of course the psychological thinking.


This post is about the principles of psychological thinking. 

Temple of Psychological Thinking

Psychological thinking is a temple that we need to construct within ourselves. Once we construct the temple of psychological thinking, we have to work to make it our nature.

As all good temples, the temple of [psychological temple has a foundation and several sustaining columns.

The foundation and sustaining columns are principles that we must understand and keep alive in us.

Foundation and Columns

The foundation of psychological thinking is our essence, which is the same thing as we all have a particular psychology. We know that our essence is our psychology.

Here are some arising from this foundation that we all have our particular psychology:
  • It is not others but us that causes our difficulties, sufferings and pains.
  • Pain comes from us.
  • Pain is an encounter with ourselves. All the uncomfortable psychological sensations and emotions are an encounter with our concepts.
  • Our essence or psychology is all an interface, it is the world of relations. It is all about how we relate to our inner values, our body, the world, the spirit, the Earth, everything inside and outside of ourselves. It is the ways of relating.
  • We can modify our psychology.

Many more truths of a psychological nature could added above...

The columns of the temple of psychological thinking are the tools of the psychological work. Because it is the principles of the psychological work in action that sustain the temple, that keep it standing.

One column is to understand that we are asleep and there is much error in our psychology, and all error is of falsehood.

To be continued...

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...
