Why Drown the Monkey

Why Drown the Monkey - (648)

Introduction

From a previous post, we learn that the superman, that is the man with Atman incarnated has four enemies. The first enemy are the green flies, which are the subconscious links between human beings. The second enemy is the monkey that sits on the shoulders of the superman that has to be drowned in a river. The monkey is lust in general and the river is the channelled sexual energies, as all rivers flow along a channel.

A Tremendous Key

The key supplied along with naming the second enemy of the superman is really very important. It is only one sentence, yet it holds a tremendous key which really serves as a guide about how one should work on lust.

This second enemy of the superman, the monkey that sits on the shoulders is the ego or egos of lust and the way to finish off this enemy is to drown it in a river. The key words are: monkey (lust), drown (constant transmutation) and river (channelled sexual energy).

The Key is to Drown the Monkey

To undo the function of lust within ourselves we must flood or saturate ourselves with constant transmutation i.e. drown out our system with transmutation. That way we really out do lust, which tries to solve our sexuality by external means. By doing this we essentially give lust no function within us because we are by ourselves managing our sexuality and sexual energy. In effect we drown or out do lust using the channelled sexual energy (river).

Note, that it does not say burn the monkey, it says drown it. If it were to say burn that would mean to take to it with the fire of the Divine Mother, which we must do as well. We would be silly if we were not to do that.

Conclusion

When lust bothers us a lot we have to transmute like this (constant transmutation), the Alchemy practice at night for 15 or 20 minutes may not be enough, we have to transmute by ourselves outside of the Alchemy practice constantly, teaching and showing that essence trapped in lust that its wrong function is not needed because we are managing our sexuality and sexual energy by ourselves and we are in doing this experiencing a psychological and spiritual type of contentment and wholeness. The pleasure of the sexual and emotional centre that lust procures for us is also replaced with a psychological and spiritual type of joy. Please note, joy is different to pleasure.

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this. In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
