How to implement all that I learned in my life?

Hello, I have some doubts that are driving me crazy, I have reached a point that I don't know how to continue. I've been reading the wave and many others articles from Cassiopaea.org, I've been reading a lot of differents posts in the group and I have acquired a lot of knowledge, but I don't think I have learned something. I'll explain this with an example: suppose that you know all the theory about mathematics, that you know all the formulas, and how they were created, why they are that way, etc. But then someone comes and gives you a test, and you realize that you have all the theory, but you don't know how implement that knowledge on the test, you don't know how to do the accounts. And that is my problem, I have acquired a lot of knowledge but I don't know how implement all that I know in my life, so I'm not learning anything, all I have are words, but not experience. How do I implement the things that I learned from the wave in my life? How can I orientate my actions to the STO frequency? How do I start? Almost every night while I'm trying to get asleep I think about all that I learned, I make conclusions, I make asociations, etc, I try to understand, and the fact that I don't implement nothing always hits me, I have my head full of questions right now :huh: :huh:
 
Hi brenXHkm!

For starters, you may never implement all that you learn in your life. Practically speaking, the things you learned and became great at as a child, have given way to higher levels of being and actions, some to progress your development, some to correct it. Each piece is a building block and each has its time and place to be utilized. It sounds to me like you are hoping “DING DING DING,” the bells will sound and you will have assimilated all your new knowledge into practical daily STO magic. Instead, look to your childhood and your young adult years and see if you can discover your own particular method of knowledge implementation. You got this far! You didn’t miss this opportunity! It will come.

The biggest part of utilizing the information is internalizing the concepts until they feel natural to you. If you work on awareness, being conscious in the moment, you will eventually see the framework and how things fit. We are all on this journey and we all began at the beginning.

You have already implemented aspects of your new knowledge by starting this thread, asking questions and requesting feedback. That is a great way to begin. Some things will take time. Relax and let it take its course. This is a transition that keeps on transitioning! We are all 'works in progress'... :D
 
Your questions apply to us all when we begin on this path. As KJN said, you will need to be aware and conscious in the moment - be present (in yourself) as much as possible during each day (self remembering while self observing and observing the extenal world as you do your internal world at the same time in Gurdjieff's terms and methods). Only if knowledge and being grow together, we'll be able to utilize the knowledge; and also not lose/forget other knowledge to assimilate new knowledge. If you continue to research the different lines of Work and participate in discussions with the goal of learning in the broadest sense, slowly you will see some changes and progress. All of the above is certainly not easy, but with sustained conscious efforts our being grows along with our knowledge.

Try focusing more on the practical advice given here, the Work in particular. How it is done, what exercises and meditations can help you in practice (eg. the EE breathing technique), maybe also look at your diet, as that can have quite a big effect on many levels.

The amount of information available on the forum and SOTT can seem quite overwhelming, especially when you first start out. I think it just takes time, so don't overstress yourself. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." - Lao Tzu

There is also the Life Is Religion: 12 Daily Exercises for Mind, Body, and Soul book that can help.

A superficial knowledge of some data is not the same as essential (conscious) knowledge of data that represents the true knowledge.
If you do not grasp the meaning of some information, we only have that information, we can not understand it, we can not use it in real life.

Remember when you went to school, we had a formula for a math problem, but sometimes to get a solution, we had to remember the formula from the previous school year, because everything is interconnected. In this way, we are knowing one note, complement it with others, and we got the solution.

In the same way we do in real life, the knowledge we have gained, we apply, and thereby, if we want to know, and we have the will, we learn further.
Theoretical knowledge we use (redirect) the practical knowledge

Hi brenXHkm,

I think what you are saying is that you've acquired lots of 'information' rather then knowledge. It's when you apply that information that it becomes knowledge. So the question is, how do I apply the information I have so it can become knowledge? Rather than thinking about how to apply ALL that you have/are learning it might be easier to start with some of the more practical things. Some examples that come to mind:

You've learned that many foods are particularly damaging to one's health (e.g gluten, diary, sugar). So you apply that by making choices to avoid those foods in your diet.

You read research on vaccines on how they're actually toxic so you take steps to avoid vaccinations when possible

You've learned that many chemicals are added to foods, so you read food labels of products at the supermarket before buying them

You saw the thread on iron overload or heavy metal detox. So you went and got tested for heavy metals, then followed the protocols to detox.

etc etc.

When it comes to some of the cognitive and esoteric stuff, that's a little trickier. You might want to get some of the diet and health stuff started first as it is harder to work cognitive stuff if one's health is out of sorts (perhaps you've heard about the gut/brain connection?) When it comes to the cognitive aspect, that the only way is to practice. To take your math example, we learn the theory and how to solve a few questions, but then most of the class is spent on applying that by doing many many practice questions. The more you practice, the better you will get as you begin to internalize the theory.

Of course there will be many times you will miss things but each time you do catch something you can build on that and with time you will be more able to notice things (for example, you catch yourself daydreaming and try to refocus instead of continuing with it). In my case, I had (and still do at times) lots of trouble knowing when to say no and to say yes. It got me into lots of trouble when I was younger but eventually I was able to set better boundaries with people and stick with my decisions. This took a very long time and is still a work in progress, so keep in mind that this is a lifelong process.

And one of the best tools is here on the forum, where you can discuss and get feedback on your thought processes.

I agree, start with the little things and work from there. The Cs have said that in order to graduate we have to learn the lessons of this realm, "simple and karmic understandings" if I remember rightly. That includes all of the little things I think, of getting ourselves in good shape physically and getting our house in good order. Knowledge protects – when it is applied. So why not start with what is right in front of us to do.

It can be something as simple as really stopping to observe the way we live, to try and see our household and environment the way a stranger might see it upon first visiting. Then pose questions: How do we live, why do we live the way we live, is it optimal for what we wish to do now, what might usefully be changed or discarded? And so on. Then continue on from there.

Networking the process with others who share our aims is very helpful too.

I think that this is a great way of putting it. It can seem overwhelming at first; all this new information; so many threads to follow. However, if you take things step by step, one concept or idea at a time then I think that you will find that things start to gain momentum.

Take this example of diet and health, once you have read and understood the information here, you can begin to make changes to your day to day life; eating correctly, implementing detox protocols. Once you have made some changes, you may start to find that your thinking is clearer and decisions are easier to make when it comes to the correct choices for yourself. You may find it easier to observe yourself and pick out your programs or things that are holding you back; toxic things in your life that no longer serve you.

Constant input of knowledge through reading books on the recommended reading list will help you to understand these programs and where they come from. You may find yourself unravelling issues from your past and the process of healing old wounds may begin. Through that you can build a solid base for growth. Daily meditation can help you to focus your mind and find an aim for you to work towards with regards to giving more to the network and crystalizing the concepts you have read about.

As you can see all these things are connected and no one thing is more important than the other. Finding that balance and using it as a stepping stone for growth could be a good aim for you. This process can take months and even years to get itself going and it's important that you don't try to force these things. IMO there is a natural order to everything and going with the flow in this respect really helps to make the transition from the first step on this journey to moving onwards and upwards.

I wish you luck in your journey and I want to thank you for posting, you got this!

I just wanted to emphasize these points. Networking with others is important in being able to get a more objective picture of the challenges we face, in figuring out decisions we can make, and in providing specific ways we can apply the given feedback to these challenges. Everybody had their particular challenges and talking about these things with the forum can really help. Next time you experience a struggle in your life - be it with diet, relationships, family, work or whatever issue that you're having a hard time with, you can bring it here to provide your understanding of the situation and then get feedback on if you are seeing the situation accurately and then see what solutions come out of that. Often times this can involve the examination of our programs that we run that make our lives difficult for ourselves or others, and these things can be difficult to see and work through on our own. Other times it might be a matter of experimenting with different solutions, reading specified material, trying a new way of interacting with others, and so on. Those things are pretty practical ways of doing the Work here.

Take heart from the fact you're by no means the only one with this problem. See for instance this ongoing recent topic: Cassiopaea Work and Utilizations.

Using the search function might bring up even more...

Hope this helps a bit. :)
 
I am not sure if you mean to to make practical use of all the knowledge you've acquired,

This comes to mind:


Session May 31 1997

Q: And they grow and change through acquiring knowledge, is that correct?

A: Basically.

Q: And acquiring knowledge is akin to acquiring energy? Or light? Light energy?

A: Not exactly. That would be like saying that "filling up" at the gas station is akin to acquiring speed.


Q: So, knowledge and light are like the gas for the car, but speed comes from utilization?

A: Yes.

Q: And utilization means...

A: Knowledge application which generates energy, which, in turn, generates light.


A simple example I can come up with is for example the diet, you get knowledge on diet and read the references, and accumulate all the knowledge but if there is no use and application BY changing diet, improving health, detoxing, The knowledge remains unused and thus has no effect on reality.

Knowledge on habits and self observation: if you understand that we have habits we grew into without of conscious choice and the way to apply the knowledge is to practice self study, proper meditation, therapy, or anything related to self exploration, self observation and self work, the knowledge remains unused and has no impact and no effect.


It is how you use the energy(knowledge) you have gained, for that you need an aim you want to reach based on your knowledge.
Once you have an aim, you can make use of knowledge to reach that aim. Without it, there is no direction, and no north.

Hope it helps
