4 of 7 - Transmutation and the Nervous System - (2851)

Transmutation - When Both Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Function

As mentioned earlier a person transmutes when both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems function together.

When only the parasympathetic nervous system is working there is just arousal and no transmutation. If the sympathetic nervous system tries to function without the parasympathetic nervous system there will not be transmutation either.


Prana Yama

When we do for example prana yama we start with one nostril working only. When our left nostril is working we feel a bit too relaxed. When the right nostril is working we feel quite agitated and perhaps restless.

Ida and pingala are two channels which link our nostrils to our sexual organs. Ida and pingala are intimately linked to the two nervous systems - sympathetic and parasympathetic.

This left nostril is linked to the parasympathetic nervous system becasue it relaxes and the right nostril is linked to the sympathetic nervous system becasue it agitates.

When through prana yama we manage to balance both nostrils and they start to function harmoniously together, we then begin to transmute our sexual energy and we feel really good. Clear in our mind with an increase in our vitality.

Ham-Sah

When we chant Ham-Sah we inhale long with HAM and we exhale short with SAH.

Inhalation is related to the sympathetic nervous system and exhalation is related to the parasympathetic nervous system. This is because inhaling energizes and exhaling relaxes.

So when we emphasise one part of the breath over another we activate more that part of our nervous system. For example inhaling longer activates more the sympathetic nervous system. So with Ham-Sah we actually are emphasizing more the upward movement of the sexual energy. Which coincidentally makes Ham-Sah a more powerful practice of transmutation than the prana yama.

In the Ham-Sah practice both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are used. Only that one is used more than the other.

Other Points

Transmutation energizes our nervous systems and also strengthens them. A nervous system that has energy circulating through it is one that is more balanced.

A nervous system which is lacking energy is one that is either very sensitive and produces overly intense sensations in the body which our psychology easily reacts too in an intense manner.

The above paragraph allows us to appreciate that a healthy nervous system allows us to respond properly to the world, whereas a damaged, energy deprived or tired nervous system causes us to respond inadequately.

As our transmutation impacts our nervous system, our behaviour changes, and as our nervous system becomes more and more energised our essence integrates more energetically with the centres of the human machine. Giving us more control over our centres and buffering the ego from being able to use the nervous system so easily.

We also make our nervous system more solar, that is by making it to function more with solar energies, as that is what circulates through it more when we transmute and work psychologically.

Making our nervous system more solar, means that we have a nervous system that is a better instrument for spiritual work.  

End (2851).

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...
