Intimate Psychoanalysis Checklist - (6083)

Introduction

In general proceed from the outside working inwards.

Here is an example checklist for some ideas to follow when practicing intimate psychoanalysis.

Checklist

Physical

Recreate the event using our memory and imagination. 

What was the event about?

Who was there?

Where was it?

What was the sequence of events?

What was said?

What did I do?

What did I say?

Use imagination to be outside of ourselves and see everything that happened, even see ourselves in the event, just as if we were watching the event on TV.

Important! At this stage it is just factual and objective answering. 

This will bring a lot of light, as it is valuable information that we need to see about ourselves.

Observation gives rise to separation and separation gives rise to comprehension. Observation essentially tells us that the "I" we are observing is not of our true Being nature. Hence the process of separation begins within us.

Psychological

What was the flavour of the event?

What impressions were received in the event?

What were the triggers present in the event? 

What appeared in my intellect? What was the thinking that emerged?

What was the feeling that appeared in my emotinal centre?

What was the "I" wanting to do or say?

What did the "I" want to feel? or What feeling would the "I" have liked to have felt?

What identity appeared in me during the event? What identity did we identify with?

What concept or concepts did the "I" bring out and think within the intellectual centre?

How intense was the feeling? (This is good information as that is how we track progress in the dissolution of the "I": decrease in intensity, frequency and duration.)

Belief Busting Questions

What belief did the "I" surface in both our intellectual and emotional centres?

What value is the "I" exercising?

What value is trapped in the at "I"?

Can we with our consciousness and free essence use the value freely to do the same thing that the ego does?

What is the pay back that the "I" is getting or giving us?

What are using the "I" to do for us?

Why do we need it? What is underlying our need for it?

Logical Confrontation of the Being

Put the way the "I" functions right up against the way the Being functions in that event.

If we think we don't know how the Being would function in that event then see how the Work would have someone function in that event. 

End (6083).

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...
