Combinations and Associations - (3662)

This one is for Mr. W.G.

Combinations

If I am not mistaken there is actually a Law to do with combinations.

Creation in nature is the result of the combinations of many different elements. 

Master Samael says that:

"Mechanical evolution is processed according to the Laws of Cause and Effect, the Laws of Associations and Multiple Combination".

There is a small branch of mathematics all to do with combinations and probability.

Basically in the Law of combinations different elements combine together to produce a result or outcome that is different to the two or more elements that were combined. 

Many time the order in which the different individual elements are combined influences the result or outcome.

The Law of combinations is also very prevalent in our mind.  

One thought combines with another one and then that combination associates with another thought and we end up feeling dark and sad. when it all started with a seeing someone in front us accidentally drop their wallet before paying for their lunch at the counter.

Often this happens we have a neutral thought and we end up feeling rotten due to precisely this mechanical process of combining and associating.


Associations

There is no doubt that our own mind thinks incessantly via associations. There are in fact several different types of associations that our mind uses.

Learning what these are really opens our eyes, as we discover that so much our mentation is based on the mechanical associating of things, and we believe our thinking to be a genuine and original initiative.

Master Samael says the following about the types of mechanical mental associations:

"There are two types of mechanical associations which are the foundation of the opposites:

a) Mechanical association by means of ideas, words, phrases, etc;
b) Mechanical association by images, forms, things, persons, etc.

An idea is associated with another, a word with another, a phrase with another, and the battle of the opposites follows."

There are also associations where we associate:

1.) Sequence: like pen to paper, ship to sea, shovel to trench, gun to violence etc.
2.) General to particular: animal to elephant, view to landscape,  mountains to snow, 
3.) Whole to a part of the whole. For example: cat to whiskers, cat to soft paws, car to wheel etc.
4.) Object to adjective. For example: Earth to round, coin to silver, ice to cold, lemon to yellow etc.

These associations actually form like the four different roads of thought.
Interesting he says that they produce the battle of the opposites, duality.

Master Samael also says in a recording, that combinations and associations form the basis of relativity and duality.

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...
