Daily Review (204)

Very Useful to Review our Day

It is very useful to do a review of our daily life. It helps us to keep up to date with what is happening within ourselves, psychologically and esoterically. It also helps us to keep our work in order.

The Practice

This practice of reviewing our day is to check-in within ourselves, to come home so to speak. When we do check-in with ourselves we see our inner urgencies, and these are the things that we should tackle first.

Inner Urgencies

Our inner urgencies are usually things that we do not understand about ourselves. They are usually egos that have a desire, a complaint or protest within us that we do not understand.

When all of our forces are outside of ourselves, it is difficult to check-in within ourselves and review our day.

What do we Find when we Check-in with Ourselves?

What do we find? Lust, pride, regret, unfulfilled desires, the lament over the past, dread of the future.

Strong Desires

Some desires that are so strong that we think we may not be able to resist. These strong desires produce division in us. We have such a strong desire in the ego and a strong desire in the work on ourselves that we get divided. If we decide for the work we feel that we are missing out on something big and we feel regret, lament and some pain. Well it is the ego that feels that pain.

Eternal Principle of the Work on Ourselves

The principle always stands, the work always makes us happier, will fulfilling that desire make us happier? If that desire is lust, it will not really make us happier will it? From previous experiences we ended up crying, how can lust make us happier?

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...
