What is Esochology?

[docjp]

[size=14pt][/size]

Esochology was coined about a decade ago as an alternative to the term "psychology", as given to the world by the ancient Greeks.... who were, Gnostics, by the way.

The prefix "Eso" is from Esoteric, or that which is incapable of being perceived by ones brain or physical senses.  And the body "chology" is the back end of "psychology", or "the study of".  Esochology is defined as "A study of the Esoteric dimensions of Man from within the Esoteric dimensions themselves, using the phenomenon of DEC [Direct Esoteric Communication], which makes use of ones faculty of intuition, which is an aspect of ones Apapsyche <http://about-psychology.com/apapsyche.html>, which is part of ones Spiritual dimension.

As Gnostics, the ancient Greeks who gave us Psychology were aware of the mystical perspective of Man: The  fact that Man is composed of three simultaneously existing energy dimensions, only one of which is physical.  The other two being the MIND dimension, and the Spiritual dimension.

This is explained in my book:  Death of Psychology That Nobody Noticed, Publish America, 2008.

Licking a fish stick is called ichthyology.  Does that mean that a majority should be interested?  'Ology'?  Do you even have any firsthand experience with gnosticism?  What is that to you?  I do agree that there are esoteric aspects of man.  I would say that there are three pillars of existence in relation to the human experience: physical, mental, and spiritual.  Physics (mathematics/chemistry/biology), psychology, and spirituality.

Oh, you have a published book.  That makes what you say more amenable.  :rollseyes:

Here is one for you.  How would you compare the Hindu concept of Maya to Albert Einstein's E=mc2?

Edit:
Pleroma is a useful directive for the spirtually-inclined in the beginning, but beyond that it dissolves under the lamp of "common sense."

New edit:
Also, what are your thoughts on the Serpent which curls three and a half times around the esoteric spine of man? The Ida, Pingala, and/or Sushumna?

Doc, I'd take you more seriously if you didn't say things like "[right-hemisphere oriented children are] generally more open to psychic awareness and thus, more Spiritually Evolved than other children"

Albert Einstein's E=mc2 was limited to the phenomenal side of existence, and Maya attempts to include the non-physical dimension of Spirituality, but the MIND of Man interferes in conveying what mystics "Know" into language that can be perceived by ones brain and physical senses.

I don't agree the 'mind dimension' and the 'spiritual dimension' are two seperate energy dimensions. Not everyone is spiritual therefore it's surely a manifestation of the mind. 2 seperate energy dimension and NOT 3. It's an obvious flaw you've overlooked.

First I would like to clear up the concept of Maya.  Most people think that the word Maya simply means illusion.  That is nothing more than a misconception promulgated by ignorant people who do not one wit of practical research.  Maya is not illusion.  Maya is the BELIEF that the illusory world is real.  It is the BELIEF, not the illusion itself.  My repetition on this matter is not born of redundancy, but stems from wanting to be crystal clear.  Maya is the BELIEF that the physical/illusory world is what it shows itself to be to our senses.

What does this have to do with E=mc2?  This formula is a means of viewing matter as energy and vice versa.  Think about it.  What are the building blocks of matter?  Atoms?  And what are atoms?  They are certainly not microscopic balls of clay that form together to create physical substance.  They are naught but energy.  The physical world is these atoms, this energy, compiled in a manner that our senses translate into the physical world.  In other words, what we view as physical is in reality immaterial.  It is our senses that give rise to the illusion that the world carries substance.

Maya is the BELIEF that the illusory world is real.  E=mc2 confirms and defines the illusion.  That's not too far-fetched for your tastes I hope.

but the MIND of Man interferes in conveying what mystics "Know" into language that can be perceived by ones brain and physical senses.

With this statement I am in exact accordance with you, at least in so far as I can comprehend your meaning in this.

Here is one for you.  How would you compare the Hindu concept of Maya to Albert Einstein's E=mc2?

Maya refers to the illusion of life, as does E=mc2.  Both deal with the physical universe only.  Both keep one foot firmly touching the physical universe, and the brain.
The MIND of Man is composed of two parts, neither of which is physical.  The lower MIND is composed of the energy of the Astral region, and the higher MIND is composed of the energy fo the Causal region. These two regions, along with the physical dimension, represent the Creation.
If one uses the term "invisible" along with the term Esoteric, it helps to prevent ones MIND from causing one to think of the Esoteric as having some tie to the physical universe.
Most people are unaware of how their MINDs can cause them to think thoughts that are not quite true.

Well, I understand what you say.... but how does what you say have anything to do with what you quote? What you quote is true.  The Spiritually evolved child does tend to possess a greater access to Intuition, and thus awareness of the Esoteric dimensions of Life more so that the child whose Soul is perched upon the lower rungs of the Ladder of Life, simply because the Left-Hemisphere oriented child has not as yet ascended the Ladder of Life to the degree the Right-Hemisphere oriented child has.
Perhaps you are objecting to my use of Esoteric phenomena coupled with physical phenomena?  Or my explaining physical phenomena by pointing to the "causal" which is always Esoteric?
