Questioning Oneself - to See Reality (158)

Introduction

Questioning oneself also known as self-inquiry is something that is very remarkably useful and helpful in our psychological work. It helps us to cut through all our falsity in which unfortunately we believe in and it also helps us to find the true values of our essence.

Buddhism especially Tibetan Buddhism make us of self-inquiry as does oriental schools of thought devoted to the development of the consciousness. Nonetheless it seems to be a very oriental or Eastern line or way of working.


How Do We Discover the Values that We Have

I ask myself how are the values of our essence which are also values of our Being found in us? They are or discovered in various events or through inquiry or self-questioning. Values are invisible to us and to others, they are only known by their results or the actions or ways of thing that they produce in us or in others.


What We Look Outside of Ourselves For

There is the common line of thought or truth actually that we look outside for things that we have inside. So that what we try to find outside of ourselves we already have within us, however it is in a form that is not so obvious to us and has to be discovered by us. This is actually part of the awakening of consciousness.


Hypnotised Consciousness

Because our consciousness is hypnotised from within we as part of the condition of being hypnotised, believe very strongly in things that are not true, and the reason why we believe in stuff that is not true is because we don’t ask ourselves the simple question: is it true?

That of being hypnotised from inside is very easy to verify and the way it can be shown is by noticing how we believe that our own thoughts are true. Most of the time our thoughts are really untrue, but this inner hypnosis has us believe in them as if they were true.

To be hypnotised is to lose sight of what is true and to be awakened is to know what is true and to be able to clearly see reality.


Conflict with Reality = Suffering

Much of the conflicts that we have within is due to a conflict with reality and what exists inside us in terms of expectations, desires, beliefs and concepts. Seeing what is real brings us peace and takes suffering away.

The realer qualities are those of the essence or the consciousness, they are those things which we call virtues. Or we may actually say that virtues are the freely working fractions of essences and the egos are conditioned fractions of essence working according to their conditioning. And it happens that the conditioned workings of the essence that is trapped, is wrong or rather it is not real and it is this that conflicts with reality.


Conclusion

See reality always and it will stop or ease the suffering. The more we search for reality and the real outside and inside the better for us, and the less hypnotised we will be, and consequently the more awakened we will be too.


End (158).

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...
