COLD APPROACHING as SPIRITUAL TRAINING -GURDJIEFF

The Mechanics of the First Conscious Shock:
The First Conscious Shock is Self-Remembering at the moment of intake.
When an intense impression hits you—like stepping up to cold-approach a woman—your organism registers a threat. In an unconscious state, the impression triggers panic, your heart races, and you walk away (leaking H48). This drains your life force, burning energy mechanically.

BUT If, at that exact second, you apply Self-Remembering ("I am here, observing this fear in my chest"), you introduce a conscious shock. That shock acts as a catalyst: it transforms the raw impression (H48) into H12.

H12 represents the refined energy that fuels higher consciousness. Under normal conditions, the human organism produces H12 in minuscule amounts because self remembering goes missing during everyday life.

When you walk toward a stranger in public:
The brain registers potential social exile or rejection as physical danger. It floods your system with adrenaline.

H12 Generation:

--Conscious Path: You feel the surge of fear, acknowledge the impulse to run, and you refuse to identify with it. You raise your voice, step into the interaction, and hold your ground while your chest is burning.

The Result: The intense friction between your conscious aim and your physical fear acts as the heat source. It takes the raw, chaotic impression of fear and cooks it into H12.

When you finish the interaction—regardless of whether she responds warmly or walks away—you notice a distinct physical state: you feel hyper-present, electrified, calm, and rooted. That electricity is the presence of H12 circulating through your moving and emotional centers.

This is alchemy.

Words that changed Gurdjieffs life

From his dying Grandmother

“In life never do as others do

Either do nothing- just go to school, or do something nobody else does”

(Beezlebub’s Tales)

[diego @EsotericWisdom_]

You have a very good facade. For what you could be I have nothing but benevolence, but as you are I hate you back to your grandmother!

- Gurdjieff

Gurdjieff’s Leading Life Philosophy-From His Grandmother’s Final Words (Beezlebub)

“In life never do as others do”

[diego @EsotericWisdom_]

In work only super efforts are necessary. An effort beyond the effort necessary to achieve the desired purpose. —Gurdjieff

[diego @EsotericWisdom_]

Do admit you cannot DO is the hardest conviction for man to come to. —Gurdjieff

Gurdjieff on Morality

Nobody ever does anything for the sake of evil, or in the pure interests of evil. Everybody acts in the interests of good, as he understands it. But everybody understands it in a different way.

Men drown, slay, and kill one another in the interests of good. This is the deep sleep in which they live. This is so obvious that it seems strange people have not thought of this before. Because everyone considers his good the only good. -G

How can man be independent of cosmic forces when he is the slave of everything that surrounds him? -G

Gurdjieff Lesson on Sex

Gurdjieff was at a dinner and was being poked fun at for his “theories”

He then proceeded to hypnotize his guests into having an orgy at the dinner table, convincing them of their sleep.

After seeing what they had done, his guests became horrified and Gurdjieff demanded payment, collecting several thousand dollars.

Gurdjieff on Americans

“The Americans,” he said, “are good people, not nasty rotten, but good. But that not enough. They sheep, good sheep, responding obediently to anything suggested, but not take course by themselves. Question—which is better: good sheep or bad dog? They must show more initiative not necessarily toward me or Institute, but in daily life—all for exercise of Will.”

Things that make you ugly —Rudolf Steiner

—Lying damages the etheric body.

Deliberate lies distort the etheric (life) body. Over time, this makes higher perception unclear or suffocating.
The suffocation is spiritual — confusion, fragmentation, loss of clarity.

—Criticism- Drains spiritual force, hardens the soul, and blinds perception.

Steiner placed a heavy emphasis on the opposing forces that destroy spiritual perception: cynicism, harsh judgment, and constant criticism.

[diego @EsotericWisdom_]

Reality is a nightmare for dreamers.

[diego @EsotericWisdom_]

The first level of man helps nobody. The second level of man helps others because he is too lazy to help himself. The third man helps himself, and in turn helps others through his own efforts.

[diego @EsotericWisdom_]

If you are identified with anything, you cannot remember yourself.

[diego @EsotericWisdom_]

Dr Robert Gilbert on Psychadelics:

In their true form, psychedelics are clairvoyant inducing, they become hallucinogenic if the energy centers are not properly activated and balanced prior to.

People will get tired after a trip cause it’s a shock retraction of the etheric body back into the physical body.

The dose makes the poison (Paracelsus)

There is NO ESCAPE —Steiner

Escaping from the world is not his ultimate goal. He has capacity for work and industry and does not want to be a saint in the distance, but a saint in the world. It is not esoteric to go one's way, absorbed in oneself, when there is much to see, to learn and to do outside. And the work of such a person must be the outward expression of his inner being. Therefore, separation based on misunderstanding must give way to holiness in the service of humanity.

Why Initiates are hard to Find (GA 240)

When I speak again and again of a number of ancient Initiates, of teachers and priests in the Mysteries, you are bound to ask yourselves: Where are they to be found? Why are they not living among us at the present time? Now an individuality with great spiritual enlightenment in an earlier life can work in a later life only through the medium of the body and the education afforded by that later epoch. But for a long time now, the character of education has made it impossible for what once lived in these Initiate-souls to express itself. They are obliged to operate in quite different forms of life and only those endowed with a power of intimate observation are able to realise that men in whom the Initiate is not apparent in the later earthly life have nevertheless passed through lives during which they reached Initiation.

—Rudolf Steiner
