Notes on Practical Action - (4790)

Introduction

For the consciousness we must turn into practical beings.


Practical psychology is the aim.


Practical psychology is not the psychology of convenience or the psychology of "killing two birds with the one stone", or being efficient, it is something different. It is really about the death of the "I" in action and strengthening the affirmative psychology.


This post aims at giving an insight into practical psychology that helps the awakening of consciousness.




Practical Psychology

It is a psychology that is is based on facts and omits the processes and manifestation of the egos in our psychology.


It is a psychology that solves the problems and issues of life from a practical point of view without mental and emotional processes.


Practical action is also affirmative psychology in action. It is also a very excellent way to die in ourselves, in our egoic selves that is.


Here are many examples of the practical psychology in action:


Examples

Event: "You almost had an accident, you didn't look both ways, we could have died...".

Practical Action: We didn't have an accident. 


Event: "A vase breaks, water and flowers on the floor, who did that, who was was so careless...".

Practical Action: Bring a sponge, a dust pan and a new vase. Sweep up the broken glass, mop up the water and put the flowers into the new vase. Get back to what we were doing.


Event: The past is brought up repeatedly.

Practical Action: That was the past, let's deal with now and do better now.


Event: There is so much to do, 

Practical Action: Create a plan and just do it.


Event: "No one else is in this situation, this is not normal, this shouldn't be."

Practical Action: It is happening, lets accept and work with doing our best to give the best answer of our consciousness to it.


Event: "You got home late! You are not responsible, you don't care."

Practical Action: Ok let's do the best with the time we have and do what we need to and if we can't let's make a plan to do it later. 


I think you get now how practical psychology is processed within us before the events of daily life and how this stops the ego carrying on making life difficult and making us more asleep through identification.

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...
