Combinations and Associations

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.

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...
