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.
