Here's a list by ajseph 21 (again, great work!) in one post with a few examples (based on the poster's comments) from Gnosis I, The Wave, and the C's transcripts.
I don't know if you have this mind in regards to "examples," but it can be changed.
----
1) Knowledge Input on Daily Basis
(ajseph 21: I remember this from a transcript speaking about protection from 4D Sts. This is also related to building a magnetic centre and discerning between A and B influences or everyday petty mundane concerns vs Reality and esoteric work. An idle mind is the devil's playground could apply here.)

2) Éiriú Eolas to Prepare Emotionally for the Wave
(ajseph 21: The wave will bring a hyperkinetic sensate and all feelings will be felt. A good example would be LSD ( which produces an opening into 4D). Reading the descriptions of these trips may give you some insight as some have people have been traumatized by their own repressed negative emotions. I'm sure the wave is much more potent as your soul could be smashed by it! EE is essential and in esoteric work the principle aim is development of the emotional centre.)
Reading the above about LSD immediately made me think of Philip K. Dick's books and Graham Hancock's Supernatural (see here). I can't think of any other books on LSD that might give better descriptions.
Here's a snippet on a "hyperkinetic sensate."
Session November 28th 2009 said:
Here's a thread on "Hyperkinetic Sensate" hyperactive sense phenomena.
And, here's what Mouravieff have to say on the negative emotions as being "instrument of destruction" (reading it with "hyperkinetic sensate" in mind):
Gnosis said:
And, here's Perceval's excellent analogy of "emotions=traffic lights"
Perceval said:
3) Read, Learn, Meditate
(ajseph 21: this contains the first two points with a third i.e learn. Meditation heals the soul and emotions (EE), reading is knowledge input and learning is connected to being. Now being is the capacity to assimilate knowledge ( Gnosis vol 1) and is also paired with memory and who you truly are. If you continue to work though buffers, rationalizations, prejudices and lies than your level of being is stopped in its growth. It's most likely the emotional centre that will suffer from these psychological defects. So lies to the self must be stopped immediately. The books dealing with narcissism and thinking fast and slow can help reveal these issues.)
Here's the basic behind "the capacity to assimilate knowledge:"
Gnosis said:
I've found this to be an issue for me - I can have so many books, so many knowledge, and not enough understanding (which is why I've been re-reading many narcissism books with a serious note-taking - to fully understand, to ask more questions, etc.).
4) Being Aware and Network
(ajseph 21: aware means having or showing realization,perception, or knowledge and in archaic terms means being watchful and wary. Do you know that we're in prison? What is going on in the world? Are you watching and reading the Signs and changes? Sott can keep you up to speed on these things. The network is also constantly evolving with time. We simply cannot work alone and this is a community geared towards soul growth. Read the principles, share insights, experience, articles, and help uplift/build others. You will also begin to see yourself though mirrors and any errors you have will be revealed to you. The network is a charity in the true sense of the word i.e love feast (love is light is knowledge) It builds up you and others. And giving knowledge when asked and networking is STO.)
I can't think of any example or references for the above, which pretty much says it all.
5) Keeping Vigilant About Diet and Protecting Psychic Hygiene
(ajseph 21: (call a spade a spade i.e. don't lie to yourself) First one lie we have dealt with is the healthy diet myth. Eat plenty of fruits and veggies blah blah no fats low meat. Ketogenic and paleo diets are discussed broadly here in the diet and health section. Remember to keep the body healthy and vigorous as well as exercise if you are able. Don't obsess! You can't stop all toxins but you can take preventative measures with your diet. Remember pavlov's dogs. while you will want to have preferably a high fat low carb diet, the real goal is to continue the Work and that can be hindered if your psychic hygiene isn't clean. Are you listening to negative music, t.v, or in general surrounding yourself with negativity WITHOUT calling it negative? That's lying to yourself. Call it what it is!)
That's pretty much sums it up as well. Here's the brief snippet behind that:
Session 9 April 2011 said:
6) Pure Faith and Non-Anticipation
(ajseph 21: When intending to do use pure faith and mental denial (non anticipation) First what is faith? A good description is from Sufi path of knowledge: the basic meaning is to be or feel safe and secure concerning your knowledge of God i.e total existence and to commit onself to put this into practice. It is belief, speaking, and doing from the heart ( higher emotional center). It is striving to be your true self and acting according to the Cosmic MInd living within us. Mental denial could be realising your inevitable death. Why anticipate anything? Focus on today be aware today. Ghandi said: Live as if you're going to die tomorrow and learn as if you're going to live forever.)
I have to admit that it is very hard to be non-anticipatory for me on a personal level. "Striving to be your true self" and acting as according to Cosmic Mind principles sure can help to develop self-discipline ("staying the course") and non-anticipation.
There are two good readings on this:
Wave 23: The Quest for the Holy Grail of No Anticipation
Anticipation and non-Anticipation
7) Keeping Vigilant Against Psychic Attacks
(ajseph 21: psyche is Soul in greek and from the transcipts the Soul is the subconscious mind. Now think of how many ways we are affected subconsciously from literally everything. A influences are a major culprit as well 4D sts ( they can tap our emotions, place suicidal thoughts etc) Knowlege protects and self knowledge is key here. Don't underestimate the opposition they can work through friends family and strangers ( think matrix ). Watch what you say and do to avoid the general law assault. Research Strategic enclosure. Sun Tzu quote: If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. And the battle is always being fought through us.)
The discussion of Strategic Enclosure can be found here as I often referred back to it.
By the way, the Sun Tzu quote is excellent!
8) Focus on Being, Utilize Knowledge and Self-Observing/Remembering
(ajseph 21: Remember being is the capacity to assimilate knowledge and using knowledge brings energy. Self observe/remembering : A key to observing the self is to turn the attention simultaneously towards others to notice their true reactions to what you think you are doing or how you think you are being perceived. (C's) ISOTM goes more in depth.)
Recapitulation can be added here - freeing oneself from one's past through bringing it to consciousness.
9) Paying Strict Attention to Objective Reality Left and Right
(ajseph 21: Sott and being aware is key here. Don't ignore current events! Stay up to date and watch the signs because you can't do spiritual work without knowing what's going on.)
I always have this nice little statement by the C's on the walls of my room and work office as a daily reminder:
10) Bear the Will of a Lion
(ajseph 21: Have the will of a lion and you won't have the fate of a mouse (keep in mind we're being stored as food) Yes 4D sts has plans for us and we don't want to be apart of them. And we have freewill therefore you may choose now to prepare for the changes. Again from the transcripts: what keeps us from seeing and doing is stalling. Today is the day not tomorrow.)
Basically, this is avoiding procrastination.
Reading The Power of Habit (Duhigg) gave me a basic understanding how we are truly creatures of habit in this STS reality to which we have little choice to be, we can simply observe the "cue" that triggered our habits and what we get out of that (what kind of pleasure? What is that reward?, etc.) and make a choice to either give in to that "cue" or not. When we don't repeat that cue, we'd likely to end up with a different habit that may or may not fit to our current goals or "aims." Say, precipitation by reading books or procrastination by watching television? Either you use energy for learning or lose energy by escaping.
Keeping a daily goal in mind may ensure one to keep from falling into a state of procrastination ("I'll do it tomorrow" attitude).
11) Discerning Emotions
(ajseph 21: Seperating emotions based on assumptions from emotions that open you to unlimited possibilities is preparing for the next density. From Gnosis vol 1: man lives by six passions Love/hate pleasure/pain hope/fear, take these away and he feels nothing. Pretty limited emotional life isn't it? What of Joy sorrow mirth enthusiasm courage?)
Taking away all that passions to feel nothing seem to be similar to the idea of "denial of death," where one desires to feel these passions to feel "alive" and to avoid "death." (Becker's The Denial of Death comes to mind here).
Here's a snippet from the Gnosis on those "passions":
Gnosis said:
Pondering on this also made me wonder about the differences between "chemical" emotions and "true" emotions. Knowing the difference is a toughy, I think, but not impossible.
12) Network, Network, Network!
(ajseph 21: Because no 3D entity can stand up to 4D alone. All souled individuals are part of a fragmented 6th density being. By networking we are connecting on a soul level that extends far beyond the material plane and this work can literally change the world for the better so be persistent and let things happen naturally.)
There can't get any better than that. :)
fwiw.

I'll second that, thank you! :)

I had something interesting happening this last week related to this. I wrote down some observations of a co-worker. They were the pretty harsh truth and written down in a matter of fact and definitely non-rosy way. It was meant to be read only by me. Later that day, as I realized I was running late for a scheduled talk, I picked up my things and went in a hurry. During the talk I wanted to write down some notes and reached out for my paper notes... which were missing. Big shock! I left it in the same office where the co-worker was working. So the talk quickly ends and I rush back to the office to recover my notes which I could only have left on the desk among other piled up papers. It was not there, it was in my coat instead. Co-worker acted as if nothing happened so all seemed to be well. It was only the day afterwards that she told me she saw my notes and that she was the one who placed them in my coat. She said this quickly among other "facts of the day" and with no added emotion. I felt pretty bad about it and also acutely aware that things were not as they looked liked. She acted as if she had read nothing, but in order to recognize they were written by me, it meant that she definitely read it. I felt pretty bad because she read something she was not meant nor prepared to read.
The cognitive dissonance was such, she either chose to ignore the whole thing or just went into denial overdrive. Immediately after this incident she reported some serious dissociation issues like nothing. People reported having some serious conversations with her which she doesn't recall at all. Things which she will usually not say in her "waking" life. She doesn't remember what she said and from the reactions of others, it must have been the pretty bad truth because they didn't necessarily reacted amusingly to the whole thing. I feel in a sense responsible for this. Someone who was not prepared nor wanted to read the truth but did because I slipped it over due to lack of awareness in my part. I have spent all these days making concerted efforts to stay acutely aware of everything to see if it helps her recover her "sanity".
Reading this list and particularly the concept below makes me realize that none of this would have happened if I would have called a spade a spade in my awareness without letting my guard down. I probably would not have forgotten my private notes for my co-worker to read... Talking about slipping the truth unconsciously!

This is great.
Thanks very much, ajseph 21, for the list.
And thank you, Zadius Sky, for finishing it so nicely.
When i came across ajseph's list and a few more follow-up comments , i immediately started to copy/paste it into a word processor and when i finished and checked for corrections, i read on and voila! It is already done much better down here! Wow!
Did anyone comment earlier that this network is fragmented??? Guess the development of this thread is the ultimate answer. Everybody involved:

I'm happy the network benefited from the summary! Zadius Sky thanks for the inputs and expansions on the points because any info expanded on is useful. All thanks belongs to the network for their hard work and effort over the years and it's what's been given to me so in the end thank you! :)
ajseph 21 and Zadius Sky ... thanks a lot for the awsome wrap-up of what we are trying to achieve. I feel that I continually let these axioms slip - I get sucked into "life" and loose the big picture. Your summary definitely will help to remind me where my priorities are.
Maybe I should make it a habit to read through the list every morning when I get up to refocus the mind and in the evening to see how well I was able to stick to it - kind of an internal mirror ...
Muxel,
I had the same feeling as you had for a long time. I experienced the forum as kind of a "parallel world", a virtual thing disconnected from "reality", simply something to amuse the mind and keep me busy, while at the same time the ideas presented herein found some deep resonance within myself - hence maybe this strange feeling of disconnect.
The solution is precicesly what anart has suggested - this changed the day I became EMOTIONALLY more involved. Looking from outside not much may have changed, like how often I post etc. But I have taken kind of a responsability to "look after my home", to monitor what's going on inside, to help maintain it and improve, where needed. And suddenly I felt part of it - sure I can still do more and I get sidetracked very easily, but ... this is my home and I will put all I can into it and hopefully make it a home for others too ...

I love the list, seems like I'm not in the wrong path. I can add to this point external considering, in my opinion, nothing helped me to stop struggle with others if it wasn't by this concept. It made me understand that people are not in control of themselves, that there are predators, that there are dead walkers, and a lot of types of people with different purposes in this life. So, along strategic enclosure, made stop trying or believing I was in charge of helping them or raising my voice when at the end, it made no difference and people actually didn't need it, anyways if someone wants to wake up by his/her own actions, that person will find truth.
By considering others I consider myself.
Hello everybody.
I am feeling the need to say a lot of "thank you(s)". Maybe it is related that I restarted doing EE seriously a few weeks ago and something emotional is opening inside of me.
Anyway,
Thank you ajseph 21 for taking your time making the list that will permit us being able to remember things that we have read once and again but never all at the same time.
Thank you Zadius Sky for compiling and develop the points of the list.
Thank you dant for attaching the files, which of course I've already downloaded, printed, read and which I will re-read in a weekly basis.
And of course, thank you to all the amazing people of this forum who is Working, Seeking, Researching, Sharing, etc., for years, all for free without asking anything in return.

I had made this forum my "rock" but now I'm not so sure. It's a motley collection of such diverse people at diverse levels and I'm not sure I fully understand (and am connected to) each and every one of you. I don't even know half of you, let alone... STO gives all to those who ask, meaning it must know/love all, right? And I simply cannot imagine how that is at my current level. I don't understand what STO is, and I don't even know how to strive for it.anart said:
I think that all I can do is work on myself no matter what goes on outside me, and school my emotions, and continue my search for that beautiful higher something, that I can't put into words.
As for "give back", that's not a problem. Giving, for me, is a natural outcome of having received. Sort of how inspiration works, I think. (And, come on, if I had a unified field theory I'd be the first to post it on the forum!)

I want to add my thanks to anyone who took the time to compile this great reminding list and to all of those who, past in the years have acquired the knowledge that is shared on this forum and else.
All those people had paved the road which I try my best to follow wishing that one day I'll be able to add few bricks for others to walk.
A couple of days ago I realized, by meeting a special person, How many efforts I still have to do to improve myself but it was the first time I really felt it was not just for myself but for others around me.
As Prometeo said: by considering others I consider myself
Thanks again

Hi Muxel,Muxel said:
I was looking for the excerpt for ISOTM posted on the forum that goes into the three circles with the esoteric circle being the highest and I came across and re-read this post by Laura. I think you should read it because I think it will give you a perspective on the situation and forum.
http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,29448.msg376057.html#msg376057
As for the diverse levels, see the above post I linked to. As for part about STO, we are in a 3D STS environment and so I think a main issue in such an environment is learning and determining when someone is really asking. Even then they might not really want to put any effort toward learning about what they are asking about and just be given. So I think a big part of our existence here is learning how to move toward STO without being eaten alive by the 3D STS environment and determining when someone is really asking, etc.Muxel said:
In terms of “my search for that beautiful higher something” I think that we are in this environment for a reason and that we should seek to learn and understand about all aspects to include the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ to the best of our ability. Looking just for the "beautiful higher something" just sounds NewAgey to me.

I'm glad that the expansion of the list is useful for y'all. :)
I realized that my grammar/mechanics aren't all that great for the list, but rather to include much of what I understood from ajseph's summaries and go from there. I did all of that within a span of few hours and may have missed a few things. As long as it's helpful, then yay!
I agree. External Considering should be added to number 7 (as I missed this). It kinda goes hand in hand with Strategic Enclosure as means for a protection. It's really about our interaction with the General Law AKA "The Devil." This can be applied to not just "psychic" attacks, but to any forms of "attacks."
A quote from the Matrix film fits nicely under that:
The list can always be adjusted to better suit for anyone.
What it all comes down to is this: persistent or "staying the course." That's what I felt from each of the list and rightly so. We all fall down at any time from any forms of attacks on a daily basis and that will always happen. But, we can pick ourselves up and continue to stay firm and true to our principles or choose to stay down and whine about the fact that we kept falling down.
What really works for me over the years on a daily basis is the morning reading of the "Life is Religion" statement by the C's (which is why I have copies of it on my walls and on my computers). Sometimes, reading the "First Initiation" essay by Jeanne de Salzmann can capture the attention. It's different for everybody - choose what works, what hits, what jolts, and what grips your attention. If it doesn't work, find one.
I recall what Cayce once said to his son at breakfast table (I think it was from There is a River book but I could be wrong) that we died everyday and born every foredays, meaning, in my mind, that our personalities constantly changes, constantly forgetting, and we have a tendency to be "swayed" by the A Influences. "Staying the course" can develop self-discipline and self-consciousness.
I found this below poem as an inspiration for me to that regard:
For what it's worth...
