Why Do We in Gnosis Ask for Donations (136)

Gnosis is Free

Essentially the knowledge of the consciousness, common to all humankind should be free, the knowledge to set everyone free should be free and is in reality free. It is only man that thinks it should have a cost.

This knowledge exists in the cosmos and has always existed from the very instant there was creation. This knowledge by which we can come to know ourselves at our deepest roots has been made available to us by the omnimerciful one, which is present for every living creature without exception. The cosmos does not charge money for this knowledge, it however may require that you wish for it and that you make sacrifices for it but there is no charge of $100, $1000, $100,000 or $1,000,000.


Donations Sign of Valuing the Teachings

Usually donations come naturally from the students. This usually happens when a student sees value in the teachings. As soon as the student applies the teachings and attains results the teachings have for the student a value, which he or she associates with some sort of monetary value.

Also a feeling that one has received a lot and now it is time to give back arise naturally in the student and among the many ways to give back, giving a donation forms part of that.


Why Do We Ask for Donations?

We do ask for donations because these teachings do have a great value and by asking for a voluntary donation it is a way for students to come to value and respect the teachings. Students usually agree because they see that the teachings have valuable, the ones that get upset with having to donate usually don’t value the teachings and end up leaving anyway. As an exception to these two cases there are are those that get upset having to donate because in their thinking they are either the kind of student that likes everything for free or the student that thinks there should be no donations for something spiritual.

Asking for a donate shows others that we respect the teachings and it stops them from trampling all over the teachings, we really should not let that happen.


Donations Help for the Great Cause

The donations that students give help the Gnostic centre to keep moving and going and bringing new students, so the donations that students give, are used to maintain the effort of the Gnostic centre that the student belongs to keep itself open and functioning, and therefore serving as an instrument for the Great Cause of the Father, which is to help all the human beings without distinction to get their self-realization.


Donations are Voluntary

The donations that we ask for are completely voluntarily, that is, depending on certain circumstances one may not be able to temporarily donate and this is fine of course. However the amount that one donates if set completely voluntarily.

No discrimination is made between students that can donate and students that can’t donate.


Donations are not Excessive at All!

Donations are always what you can afford. No excessive limit is put on them.


Conclusion

I hope that this short post has helped you to make it clear why donations are a necessary or important part of going to a spiritual school. They essentially keep the school running and open for others who came like yourself that many years ago.

Seeing how Gnosis changed your life for the better see that the same can happen to another just by your donations keeping the school open.


End (136).

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...
