Separation from the Ego IV (192)

We are an Essence

Separation is the understanding that we are the awareness the essence and that the ego or the other things that appear in that awareness are something that are not of the essence and are not us. The whole key to that of separation is this formula: These thoughts are not me, this logic is not mine, these emotions are not mine either. But we need the consciousness experience that we are not the ego, nor the thoughts, nor the body nor the personality.

Non-Identification

Separation is also non-identification. Meditation on the ego is not that superficial thing of analysying the details of what happened, and how it could have been avoided etc, but being the consciousness and questioning deeply the existence of that “I’ that is trying and we have let it take the place of the consciousness.

How do we Know we are an Essence?

How do we understand that we are the awareness the essence? The answer is by meditating deeply on these formulas or facts and inquiries. The questioning of ourselves is really very deep but the thing is, we have to get or arrive at our own answer to this question. It helps us immensely and it is fundamental to our knowledge and to our who we are and what we are doing here.

When we are bothered by an ego the first thing to ask ourselves is: “What ‘I’?”. Because the ‘I’ of that ego does not exist. The consciousness is not an “I”.

Conclusion

The hypnotic grip of the ego is among other things the belief that we are that ego. We feel one with that ego. Separation is impossible when we think that the ego is one with us or that we are the ego. Separation is so fundamental in our psychological well-being, in transforming impressions and in the death of the ego.

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...
