Side Interesting Point

The number and word 7 is actually used 77 times in the Old Testament. Note, just a coincidence I think. The law of seven didn't really manifest there.

Comments

  1. These examples are mostly linguistic. The only one that the I can see that is independently motivated is the 7 periods in the periodic table of elements in chemistry. I don't see anything more than 7 rows, periods, I don't see the larger gap between the 3rd and 4th the interval, these smaller gap between the 7th and 8th in of all, Nor do I see anything looking like it is returning to its source. Has anybody seen any independent confirmation of this supposed law of 7? I am not asking about traditions and and religious writings, I'm asking about actual facts in the world independent of these religious writings, independent of our custom of 7 days in a week. Some cultures have 5 days in a week, some have 20 days in a week. Pretty much anything you like can be divided into 7 different things, but these divisions are usually not independently motivated; rather they are arbitrary, and the energy relationships predicted by Gurdjieff do not appear in these divisions. The supposed 7 major organs in the body is not an obvious example, since it excludes the intestines, for example. The 7 toned octave is used in Western culture, but the Greeks used a 5 tone scale, and other cultures have used other divisions. Actually ours is a 12 tone scale. A study of harmonics does not seem to force the 7 tone scale as the 'correct' division sequence. Also it does not have the lengthened gap between mi-fa different from the shortened si-do. Are there any real independent examples that match anything like what Gurdjieff described? I looked at the decay rates of vibrations of guitar strings, and also at harmonics. Nothing seems to leap off the page at me. Please understand this is not some sort of criticism, or refutation. It is a search for what in the real world might this law actually be if it does exist? Please help.

  2. What about the seven colors of the rainbow or the seven colours that a prism separates out of a ray of light from the sun.

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...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
