Psychological Stickeez 2 Collection - (3506)

Introduction

In general, collecting things for the psychological worker warrants a careful eye. There can often be some ego behind it. Most often that ego is greed. 

Greed Collecting

It is easy to know if greed is behind the collecting. 

The way to tell, is that if we accumulate things we don't need and the purpose to collect those things is to have those things in our possession because of a kind of abstract reason or fad, then greed is around. 

For example, greed collects money to reach a nice round number, but of course that nice round sum with a single digit between 1 and 9 followed by nice round zeros is pure mind, pure abstraction because in terms of need what is the difference between a number looking good with zeros than a mixed up number with a decimal point and everything.

Sometimes greed collects so to not see the collected items in the possession of others. Which is a selfish egoical thing really.

A museum is interesting as it is essentially a huge collection centre, but with a difference it is there for all to enjoy. But you know there could still be greed lurking amongst the museum's administrators. 

If the collecting is driven to have more then we need, we can be sure it is something belonging to greed. 

Greed becomes rather abstract and veers quite a long way from reality and practicality. Greed begins where the need limit is exceeded. Greed exists when there are mental or emotional reasons rather than practical ones.  

This is so easy to see that in these current times - with all the food collecting. Fear and greed combine to produce super charged greedy people and empty supermarket shelves day after day. People can be rather greedy.

Psychological Work Collecting

There is another kind of collecting that is not greed based. It is the collecting of virtues or the practical wisdom of the understanding of the truths that fabricate virtues.


Looking at my second Stickeez 2 collection. I sold the first one for on ebay for $27. Will try to sell this one too. Anyhow, imagine that each stickeez represents a truth, and that this truth takes you to a virtue. To my mind such a collection is a psychological treasure.

To me such a collection is one that is most worth collecting.

How is your psychological collection of virtue truths? Increasing, the same, or what "what are you talking about?".

This blog is often about me sharing the truths that lead to virtues within a person. One day who knows when I am going to share all that I have in a series of posts. When the motivation kicks me you'll have it without holding back anything.

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...
