Getting Real when it Comes to Past Lives (218)

Introduction

We secretly wish that we were someone great in the past and your hear so many people say that they were Christ or Buddha or someone great. The truth of the matter is that, there was only one Buddha or Christ or Julius Caesar and so there can not be ten people running around on Earth who were Julius Caesar in the past. It just can’t be.

Well perhaps the soul that was Julius Caesar was divided into fractions and now inhabits several bodies, however if we were to get to know these people who claim to be Julius Caesar they may not even exhibit any of his qualities. Those sort of people are usually the mythomaniac or megalomaniac types, those pseudo esotericists that think the world of themselves, or at least don’t think realistically about themselves. They may have been told that is who they were in the past by some clairvoyant or healer or channelled source and they believe it without even knowing whether it is for real true or not.

Fantasy and Past Lives

To think that you were such and such a great person is fantasy, because when you do discover or remember some of your past lives you will see them as very natural and you will recognise yourself back then as you are now.

You will observe the some psychological flavour, the same secret desires, the same way of seeing people and looking at the world and the same overall feeling. Even the same likes and dislikes etc.

To think that you were someone great in many lives of your past is fantasy and this is why.

You know when it comes to past lives we were up and then we were down. We go from being a person living in the street to a person living in a well-to-do household and area, and it is even true that what we are today is because we were that in the past and what we were in the past is the opposite of what we are today because we learnt a very painful lesson.

Conclusion

The best is to experience through unearthing the subconscious during meditation practiced when we are drowsy or by the consciousness itself or through dreams about our past lives. Our insights about our past lives have to also corroborate with recorded history and be realistic according to the character traits that we have or exhibit now.

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...
