Notes: Imagination + Emotion = Will - (5675)

Imagination

Imagination is a huge power that we all have.


Imagination links to emotion and to will.


When we imagine, we see, but we also feel something. We actually create an emotion. An emotion that a few seconds ago, we were not feeling.


Therefore imagination gives us the power to create emotion at will.


Try, imagine yourself in a relaxed environment and being relaxed, soon enough you will actually feel relaxed.


The trick is to give your imagination a bit of time to work within you.


That is why we need concentration, which in terms of imagination is the ability to hold steady the images within our imagination.


We need to really develop both imagination and concentration. Study Kasina meditation for some guidelines on this.


Imagination therefore gives life to things. It has within it the power to conceive.


It brings openings and actually opens new dimensions within us. It in many ways brings new dimensions to us.


Imagination is the way to get in touch with dimensions beyond the physical. For example with imagination we can perceive the fourth dimension and perceive dimensions in general.


Imagination provides an entry into our inner dimensions.


Relaxation and innocence help us to develop our imagination. As well as serenity.


Imagination in the hands of the ego becomes fantasy. When imagination is conditioned it becomes fantasy. That is imagination is mechanically used to compensate for what we do not have, are not and can't do.


The main conditioning factors of imagination are compensation and duality. Very much like the sexual energy. Masculine and Feminine always ,duality - two. The sexual energy is binary, it follows the Law of Polarities.


Imagination and sexual energy also work together and share many elements in common. One is that both create and both give power to whatever they are channeled into. 


When we lose control of our imagination we lose control of our internal state. When the internal images get out of control our emotions grow out of control.


Imagination produces our internal image, that is what we see about ourselves is a set of images that our imagination generates for us. Those images become our identity and we always do what our identity is. 


The right use of imagination is at the heart of awakening. Imagination is that powerful. Because of it we can awaken and because of we can fall asleep.


A good standard for the development of imagination is to be able to hold steady any image that we imagine for at least five minutes.



Will

Will is making things to happen in our inner and outer worlds. Will is what manifests. Will is what turns the tides within us.


Will is the freedom to choose and to sacrifice. Sacrifice is the choice of one good superior to another.


Will is the magic within us that manifests things. The Law of Attraction or Manifestation that is so popular these days is really a prodigy of people's own will.



Values and Will

The goal is to give will to our values. Will into the values equals the values in action and expression.


We start to express and develop any value by using the imagination. 


Imagine we think, feel, act and speak with the value, virtue or quality we want to develop. After doing that we feel what the value feels like. This is because imagination sets up emotion. 


With the new emotion created we can contrast the ego's way of feeling against the virtue's way of feeling. Then will appears to allow us to chose one or the other.


The more we do this the more our consciousness sees that the virtue is better and a shift or rebalancing occurs within us favouring the value. Then a current of will can run into the value to give it life and manifestation within us and then outside of us in our life and in the lives of others.

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).
