Law of the Pendulum Notes - (4741)

Introduction

This is a marvelous topic. One that is so important for every student to study and know deeply. It is so practical and helpful in life. We can teach its wisdom to anyone. As everyone experiences it. It is also a wonderful experience to present talks on this topic to students.


Notes

It is essential to study the talk that Master Samael gave on the "Law of the Pendulum".


Knowing about the Law of the Pendulum is extraordinarily beneficial for everyone. It is very practical and very easily verifiable. To know is to begin to be liberated... 


The Law of the Pendulum is directly related to the Law of Duality.


The Law of the Pendulum produces cycles. Therefore the Law of the Pendulum is related to the Laws of Return and Recurrence.


The Law of the Pendulum is the one that produces the return of all things to its point of departure and it is the one that governs the timing of the recurrences.


If the Law of the Pendulum is related to the Law of Recurrence, and the Law of Recurrence is related to the Law of Karma, then the Law of the Pendulum is related to the Law of Karma.


It maybe said that the degree of imbalance, in other words the degree of karma determines how far the pendulum swings.


To know the Law of the Pendulum well, we need to observe a pendulum in motion. Notice that there are three points. The middle resting balance point then the two extremes of the swing.


What we reject today we will accept tomorrow. What we rejected in the past we accept now. 


The Law of the Pendulum moves us from one extreme to the other. The Law of the Pendulum is the constant movement from one extreme to another.


The Law of the pendulum is transcended by stopping the movement from one extreme to another. In other words finding the centre, the balanced motionless centre point, where the pendulum rests.


When we have experienced both extremes we create consciousness and we find the intelligent central point.


The Law of the Pendulum teaches us both extremes in the areas of life so that we can find balance in that area.


So to quicker end the swings of the pendulum we need to learn quickly. We are generally slow learners. We have to swing several times before we learn. But we don't need to do that.


If we know about the pendulum we can know that after one swing it will be the same until we learn and decide to stay in the centre. If we commit to learn quickly from the pendulum we can save a lot of time.


We need a force to take us to the extremes, otherwise we would never find balance. Because it comes from the knowledge of the experience of both extremes and the happy conscious decision to rest at the centre without karma.


We can not stay at one extreme for long. The Law of the Pendulum will drive us to the other extreme and then to the centre.


To only see one side of life is to be swinging on the pendulum. To see both sides is to begin to transcend it, that is to begin to go to the centre.


We are all ruled by the Law of the Pendulum. 



When we push too far outside of balance we activate the Law of the pendulum.


We need some slight oscillation around the balance point to allow for give and take. Large swings are different they transgress nature, they are exaggerations that activate karma. 


We get karma when we do something very much out of balance. 


The Law of Karma uses the Law of the Pendulum to reinstate balance.


The Law of the Pendulum gives other nations the chance to rise up, and at the same time it causes others to decline. This law functions perpetually so that all can experience rising and declining.


As master Samael wrote, the Law of the Pendulum is the one that helps to write history. The Law of the Pendulum rose Rome and caused it processed its decline.


It distributes the learning of the extremes to all peoples without any distinction. It is a blind law, as all the laws are.


The manifestations of the ego always go to one extreme. They then stay there for a while then the swing back to the opposite begins and then the swing to the previous opposite begins. 


The extremes of the pendulum swings are deceiving. When the pendulum reaches the extreme it stops for an instant. In that instant we feel that we have reached balance that all is stable and wonderful. Yet the pendulum has to begin its descent and so a swing to the other side begins.


When karma or the ego is very heavy the pendulum is not easily stopped.


Karma is processed in waves, that is via the Law of the Pendulum.


The lunar forces and the lunar influence are also related tot eh law of the pendulum.


Physics of the Pendulum Applied to Human Beings



The above means that the time taken for a pendulum to go from one extreme to the other is proportional to the Length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the force that moves it. Meaning the longer the pendulum the longer it takes to swing and the greater the force the quicker it swings.


So for us human beings this means that if the ego is big and applied a larger force that swings us to the opposite side the quicker we will swing back. 


The pivot or suspension point of the pendulum is where it is tied to something fixed. The pivot point is the perfect balance - no swinging. So the longer the pendulum the further it is away from the original natural balance of things and so then when that pendulum does swing it takes us further into very unbalanced extremes. Furthermore we spend a long time moving between those extremes - years perhaps.

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...
