WHAT DOES INVISIBLE MEAN?

INVISIBLE [as regards to what exists hidden "within" Man... which we refer to as the MIND and Spiritual Realms existing Within Man]... does exist, but the dimensions of which are composed of Energies which are "invisible" to the brain and physical senses of  Man.  The realm[s] which comprise what we refer to as "God"... are not just one single Energy, but [apparently] comprise a number of dimensions... the range of vibrations  of which are invisible to our physical senses. 

This is the "key" as to "why" the proper study of Psychology is so difficult.  A person simply cannot "study" the MIND of Man by use of one's physical senses... because the MIND is not physical! And most certainly... the brain is not the MIND.

The one exception to the above difficulty in studying the MIND is what we refer to as "Intuition," which is itself a term people use to "point to" something they have not properly studied!  It is the rare individual who has discovered what Intuition actually is!  I believe [and my experience reveals this] Intuition is an aspect of one's body of "Consciousness" [which I  believe is the Energy of one's Soul].

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying:  "The only real valuable thing is intuition."  Einstein was a very gifted individual.

HOW DOES MAN STUDY THE INVISIBLE WITHIN MAN?

 AND CAN IT BE DONE?

 I coined the term "Esochology" specifically to refer to an American approach to what the ancient Greeks referred to as "Psychology".  That is, an approach that utilizes the faculty of Intuition [I believe Intuition is an aspect of Consciousness]...which is the Energy of the Soul, I believe...  that Fritz Perls was just beginning to discover... but did not have the time to fully develop what I am talking about before he died.

The difference between the "Mystic" who is a genuine Spiritual adept, and the person who thinks of him or herself as a Mystic... is the level of "Intuition" that person possesses.  What is "Intuition" you might ask?  Within every person on Earth is the potential of possessing a highly developed form of "insight"[awareness of one's Spirituality]... that we refer to as "Intuition".  And Intuition is the ability of a person's Soul [ normally not in a way so as to awaken that person to the SOURCE of his or her "insight"]....  very subtle bits of Truth to the Conscious Awareness of that person...  of which he of she is not intellectually aware. 

The peculiar thing about Intuition is that although the person awakening to a bit of Truth in the form of Intuition... has the sudden awareness of the Knowledge inherent in that awareness---  however,  he or she will find that he or she is unable to intellectually articulate  or otherwise convey what he or she has suddenly awakened to.... to anyone else. 

How come?  Because Truth does not exist on this physical plane of existence.  And therefore, we have not developed words that contain the Energy of Truth as part of our language.  And if this last bit of verbiage does not explain what I mean, the reason is what I just said. 

Quite literally, Truth does not exist on the physical plane of existence.  But neither does one's Soul exist as part of this physical plane of existence.  That a person becomes aware of a bit of Intuition... suggests that that person possesses a Soul that has acquired a larger amount of Spirituality than most Souls.

What causes a person  to "lose" one's Spirituality?  It is our attachment to the Illusion of this physical plane of existence.   But perhaps you were not aware that this physical plane is a most fantastic Illusion?  And the reason we cannot find the Truth on this Earth is... this Earth is all Created from "nothing"... so to speak.  And that is truly something, is it not?

But that is likely sufficient for today.

What is ESOCHOLOGY ?

 Some years ago, when I was younger and thought I knew a lot about a number of things... I came up with the term "Esochology".  And I intended Esochology to  specifically refer to the  operations of the MIND and Spiritual dimensions "within" Man.  I used the Greek term Eso, which the Greeks used to refer to the invisible aspects of Man [the MIND and Spiritual dimensions], and their term "logia" which refers to a study of a given phenomenon... in this case, the MIND and the Spiritual dimensions of Man.

So, for me, the term Esochology refers to the study of  the MIND and Spiritual realms "Within" Man [both of which are invisible to the physical dimensions of Man];  and how they secretly operate to form what we can observe of a person's behavior, attitude, and beliefs?   The term for this "study" would be "esoteric".

[From Websters:  esoteric adj. 1.Intended for or understood by only a small group].

What enables a person to engage in such study would be a keen interest in the operations of the MIND and  Spiritual realms "within" Man... both of which are invisible to one's physical senses. Therefore, such an interest would coincide with what we might refer to as an "Enlightened" individual.  But what does the term "Enlightened" mean?  Well, for me it means something other than intellectually gifted, or what an IQ test might measure.  For me, Enlightened means an increased level of Consciousness [which I believe is the Energy of the Soul].

And how does one acquire an increase in Consciousness?  One does so by "converting bits of Karma into Consciousness [otherwise known as "Knowledge" or "Wisdom"], and how does one do this, you might wonder?  I believe it is accomplished by exercising two values:  That of Acceptance, and that of Forgiveness.  And to understand this, one must become aware of how we Souls "reclaim our Spirituality from the physical plane of existence".  And to understand this, one must comprehend how the Law of Karma works... and what its purpose is?

The seemingly natural desire of Man is to acquire phenomena... all kinds of phenomena of this physical plane of existence.  This is desire, and when it is fulfilled, one has just exchanged his or her own Spiritual Energy for ATTACHMENT TO SOMETHING IN THE CREATION.  In other words, everything in Creation can be acquired... if one is willing to meet the price?  And as far as "price" is concerned... hardly anyone is aware of the ACTUAL COST of one's Attachment ?

It is not money.  It is one's Spiritual Energy in the form of Attachment!  The more one is attached to things in the Creation, the more of one's Spiritual Energy must be diverted into acquiring what one desires!  And take a look around yourself, and look at what makes people happy?  And just how much are people ATTACHED to what they possess? Life in the Illusion is either-or.  And very few realize what the cost of attachment is!

 The Law of Karma states that every bit of one's Karma must be paid back before one can leave. But none of this is part of what we teach in the West.  And attachment is not what the brain thinks about. And all of this is part of what Esochology deals with.

ALTHOUIGH NSgy IS INVISIBLE... IT CAN NONETHELESS BE Discovered by one's "Intuition"

 HOW ?  WELL, BY HARD WORK AND DEDICATION!    .... And, by seeking help from someone who has awakened a bit of NSgy by awakening the faculty of "Intuition" from within his or her "Consciousness"[ the Energy of one's Soul].

I believe that one's faculty of Intuition is an aspect of one's Soul, and it is also a "guide" of sorts as to how much of a person's Consciousness (the Energy of one's Soul) that person has been able to "re-acquire" from it's various attachments to the Illusion of this Creation?  But the last sentence is a large leap into what is likely unknown to most people.

Mystics tell us that Man must work hard to discover what lies hidden "within" Man. And this "work" is called "meditation".  And meditation is a process by which one's Consciousness is applied to seeking the Truth from "Within" oneself... The "Self" being one's Soul, of course.  And, the Energy of one's Soul is Neutral Spiritual Energy, or the Energy of God.  And this is the reason one's Soul is invisible to one's brain and one's physical senses. One's Soul is an aspect of God, and thus, God is the Father of each Soul.  But NSgy is also "invisible" to all physical aspects of Man.

So, how does one discover the NSgy within oneself if... it is invisible to all the parts of oneself of which one is aware?  One must become aware of another part of oneself that is not invisible ...but is quite unknown to many people. I am speaking of one's faculty of Intuition... and all of this needs some explanation, right? 

That will be explained in our next blog.

Remember my speaking of "Varnatmak" and "Dhunyatmak"?

 Well, the following came to me this morning, and I would like to share it with you. But first, remember that the term "Varnatmak" refers to what the brain can know and think about, while the term "Dhunyatmak" refers to that which is part of the Pure Spiritual Dimension, and is therefore "invisible" to the brain and thinking!

What is "Wisdom"?  Let me share with you some thoughts which help "explain" what the term "Dhunyatmak" refers to.

All knowledge requires personal experience to become wisdom.  Wisdom is a name for what some people possess.  The question is... how does one come to possess "Wisdom"?

To observe a person's difficulty in life [and not interfere requires  knowledge of how the Law of Karma operates to provide human beings compassion and empathy]... And the ability to not interfere in the acquisition of  another person's acquiring  knowledge [compassion and empathy] and not interfere in that person's acquisition of such knowledge... requires full experiential awareness of having gone through such experience oneself! 

Do you comprehend what I am saying here?

What we face in life is the Fate Karma that is required by us to further develop our level of Consciousness as a human being.  It is based on what we have experienced in the past, and what we have [or have not] learned?  We lack "experiential knowledge" of certain emotions since we have not "FULLY experienced" them.  When we have fully experienced those specific emotions,  then they become part of our "Wisdom".  And Wisdom is Dhunyatmak!  It is not something you can tell another person... like how to tie a shoelace, which is Varnatmak data, which  can be learned by the brain.

Dhunyatmak refers to Wisdom, which requires a "Full Knowledge" of something... or all aspects of a particular part of existence.  And lacking Full Knowledge means one cannot KNOW "all aspects" of something. Remember you can think about Varnatmak data, but Dhunyatmak is strictly for your Soul and Consciousness.

Unfortunately there is no way to acquire Wisdom and not be condemned for one's apparent lack of caring.  So, being poor I have been sad for people whose lives are difficult, even though my own life has had its difficult periods...but few have looked at my life and condemned me for having what they do not.

In the last dozen years or so, as I went beyond age 80 and turned 90, no one would envy me, or think that my life was something they should have.  My problems with my body, in particularly my knees and my back,  and my trips to the Veteran's Hospital have not been the "envy" of anyone.

My point in this blog, however, is that to acquire Wisdom, one must experience pain and suffering at both physical and emotional levels "within" oneself.   And it is this Wisdom one "earns' over lifetimes that prepares one for awakening Spiritually.  Like graduating from the school of hard knocks to a Greater Wisdom "earned" over lifetimes of pain and suffering.

So, be patient, and if you possess Compassion and Empathy... be thankful.  You have earned these attributes over lifetimes.

WHERE DOES YOUR PERSONALITY COME FROM? 

 Note a large contributor to one's own Fate Karma is one's own  personality which reflects the level of Consciousness  one's Soul  has acquired by "Completing bits of Karma" in previous lifetimes.  

 

"Completing bits of Karma"?  This is the  task every Soul has to accomplish in the Creation.  That is, the Law of Karma was designed by God to provide every Soul an equal opportunity to explore and discover what life in the  Creation is all about!  The maturation of every Soul is a personal matter, but all Souls will [ before returning Home to God] eventually "learn" what Life is all about.  This is taught in the East, but mainly ignored in the West.

The name for this process is called "Reincarnation".  That is, we people die, but one's Soul does not die, it simply vacates the body it is in, and goes to the Astral Region of Creation where is is judged relative to how well it did going through the Fate Karma it went through in it's just completed lifetime?  A part of that judgement is the development of the next lifetime for that Soul:  This lifetime is based on what the Soul did in it's just completed lifetime?  The Soul then goes to either a place to rest, or to a place where it receives education to specifically correct any bad habits it has picked up in its previous lifetime. 

Life in this Creation is not just one lifetime.  It is a whole lot of life times in a whole lot of life-forms, and one's progression [or evolution] depends entirely on what one does in each lifetime?

The above is certainly something to think about... to the degree one can, that is?  Every living thing in the Creation has a Soul, and each  Soul  is Slowly working its way back Home.

WHAT IS "ESOCHOLOGY" ?

 I coined the term Esochology using two things. One is the Greek term Eso, which means "within", and the Greek term "logy" which means discourse... so we have a discourse of that which resides "within" Man.  And what is that?  The MIND, Consciousness, and Spirituality... which consists of several dimensions:  We primarily speak of Spirituality as one's Soul, but I believe it is a part of what we refer to as "Consciousness"...a part of which is "Intuition".

I created a sketch that suggests four dimensions of Man:

 Circle #1: The Physical Dimension. #2, the lower MIND, #3, the higher MIND, and #4, the Spiritual Realm.  All of these dimensions operate as a whole... and so perfectly that we really do not take notice of the subtle differences.

 

 So, Esochology is a study of the Whole Human Being.  And over time, I have included the following as elements that Esochology works with:

MIND and mental health, Consciousness, Intuition, Delusional Thinking, Law of Karma,"NSgy"or Neutral Spiritual Energy, Behavior, Illusion vs Reality, and Reincarnation.

In short... Esochology is what Gestalt Psychotherapy might have become if Fritz Perls had not died when he did.  The most essential element of Esochology is that it is not part of modern psychology.  Esochology does not depend upon the brain and thinking, although it uses thinking of course,  but it mostly deals with emotional energy [the energy of the MIND], and the Delusional Thinking fed to the brain by the MIND.

And the above is a synopsis of Esochology.

A FEW THINGS WE IN THE WEST DO NOT KNOW... OR TEND TO IGNORE...

 1.  EVERY LIVING THING HAS A SOUL.  The Soul gives life to that creature within whom it resides.  And the Soul is an aspect of God, and the term "Consciousness" is (I believe) Neutral Spiritual Energy, or "NSgy", which is the Energy of God, the Lord, or Father of all Souls.  The fact that we are all different is simply to make life interesting.

2. Every Soul is slowly evolving by "Completing" bits of Karma.  But, this is a very slow process because most people deny "responsibility" for the Karma they have to face in life.  Each Soul is born with a "Fate Karma" that has to be faced in that lifetime.  And if they deny responsibility for the Karma, then it will come back again in another lifetime.  We Souls are given as much time as we need to awaken to this particular bit of Reality.

3. To insure that every Soul is treated equally in the Creation, God Created the Law of Karma, which is administered equally to every Soul.  The phrase "every thought and action one has or takes, creates a bit of Karma"... applies to every Soul.   When a Soul takes an action,  or has a thought, that sets up a bit of Karma that  will come back to that Soul at some point.  And what generally happens is that when that Karma comes  back to a Soul, the Soul "thinks" that that bit of Karma is unfair, unjust, and thus reacts negatively to that bit of Karma... which simply sends that bit of Karma around again.  To be dealt with in some other lifetime. And every Soul in Creation has a load of such Karma... that keeps that Soul tied to the Creation.  In the West, most people are not aware of this bit of Reality.

 4. To help people awaken to the Reality of Karma, God sends Mystics and Saints into the Creation. This is precisely what Christ was, and Christ did his best to explain this... but few people believed him. This is true even today.  A person is fortunate if he or she comes across such a Mystic, and is able to "hear" what the Mystic is saying.

So, the purpose of life is to explore and experience the Creation.  And fortunate is the Soul that learns what I have just written above.  The only way to eliminate a bit of Karma is to take full responsibility for the Karma that comes one's way, and to forgive entirely those who are part of such Karma.  And the benefit of doing so is that the bit of Karma is converted back into Consciousness...which you invested into producing that bit of Karma in the first place!  The fact is... those people whose lives are difficult are responsible for the difficulty in their lives... but hardly anyone knows this!  People have, by their past actions in past lifetimes created the bits of Karma they are experiencing in this lifetime.  THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT POINT... is it not?

Well, this explanation of the Law of Karma is important for all of us to take to heart.  It casts a very different light on what we see going on all around us.

TO STUDY WHAT EXISTS [ WITHIN THE ESOTERIC WHOLE OF MAN].. YOU MUST USE "INTUITION"

 BUT... MANY WOULD ASK... WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

What I means is... to study any part of the "invisible" dimensions of Man, you cannot use your brain to do it!  

Why not, you might ask?  Simply because your brain is physical, and it is confined to that which is physical... as far as the names of the invisible elements of Man... well,  the brain can  memorize the names of the invisible parts of Man.  Like for instance MIND, Soul, Spirit, Consciousness, and so on.  But what good is knowing the name of something if you have no experiential knowledge of what that abstract name refers to?

Modern Psychology is fooling itself if it "thinks" that anyone can know what the MIND is.... simply by being capable of spelling the word "MIND".  The MIND is composed of two parts:  1. The lower MIND is called the Astral Region of  CREATION, and 2. the higher MIND is called the Causal Region of CREATION  And neither of these two regions of existence can be perceived by the physical brain, or one's physical senses.

My old sketch illustrates what I mean: 

 #1 represents the physical realm.  That is the only realm the brain can perceive. #2,#3, and #4 Are all invisible to the physical realm, which includes one's brain. What can perceive the "invisible" elements of Life is "Intuition"?

 

 

 So, what is "Intuition?  I believe it is an element of one's Soul, which exists in everyone, however, we only becomes aware of our Intuition when one's Soul has "re-acquired"  a sufficient amount of Consciousness to enable one to begin to [awaken to the Esoteric dimensions of Man], or what is invisible to people until they have become somewhat "Enlightened".

And what do I mean by ["re-acquired"  a sufficient amount of Consciousness]?  Or, what does "Enlightened" mean?  To explain these things... I have to switch tracks and we must get aboard the Train of the Esoteric.  And the physical brain and its "thinking" is left at the station. 

 I coined the term "ESOCHOLOGY" sometime in the late 1980's... I believe.  The term "eso" in Greek means "within".  Within what?  In the case of the Greeks, they were referring to an invisible Reality that exists simultaneously with this physical realm... and this physical plane is a great Illusion that we "think" is real.  And Eso refers to the fact that Reality [like Truth] begins to be visible to those who are able to access the invisible dimensions of Reality "within themselves" [which entitles one to become aware of a higher level of Intuition].... and Intuition, I believe, is an aspect of one's Soul [or Consciousness].  So, how does one acquire this evolved ability to use one's faculty of Intuition?  You do so by completing bits of Karma.  More on this in my next blog.

 The mechanics of increasing one's karma is not easy to explain!  But it has to do with the Law of Karma, Consciousness, and what the "PURPOSE" of life is?  And all of this is taught to children in the East, but in the West... we simply ignore the Eastern view of life, and cling to the many stories of Jesus, and his apostles.  And stick to an intellectual pursuit of thinking about unknown elements the brain will never experience.

More on this topic of Reality vs Illusion in my next blog.
