Power of Changing Associated Images

Power of Changing Associated Images – (2604)

Anecdote from an Engineer

Modern large and heavy machinery these days incorporate a mixture of automatic and manual lubrication systems, where an electric pump builds up pressure in the lubrication delivery lines so that a metered shot of lubricant can be delivered to the machine’s moving parts. Furthermore, in relation to the mechanical lubrication system there are lubrication nipples through which grease can be injected into to deliver the grease to moving parts located inside a mechanical assembly.

So, this engineer upon having to work on such systems was always laughing and grinning. Why? All because of the images that were appearing in his mind. Obviously, he was associating those technical words with sex and all the junk he had in his mind related to sex.

The interesting thing was that the more he worked on these systems he began to change the images that appeared in his mind, until one day whenever he heard the words lubrication nipple, auto lubrication, manual lubrication he would only see heavy machinery in his mind.

Heavy Mining Machinery, Rio Tinto Iron Ship Loader in action. An exercise to watch the associations.

Comments

This anecdote shows how important the mental images we have in our mind are. What's more important is what those images get associated with. Depending on what we associate those images with is how we are going to react! This is really critical.

A part of our mental housework is to review the images that we have in our mind.

Conclusion

Associations are very powerful and if we can change the images that appear in our mind we change our reactions and the egos that get brought up.

We react based largely on the images that arise in our mind! We can change our reactions and attitudes so much by deleting the images in our mind and what changing the images that we associate associate with certain words, events, people, places, activities etc.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
