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.

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.

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure. Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

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...

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...
