Salt, Sulphur and Mercury - (288)

Introduction


Much is mentioned of these three substances in Alchemy and in Gnosis: Salt, Sulphur and Mercury. Without some explanation such as that offered by Gnosis, the salt and the sulphur remain something mysterious and confusing. 

Here is a very good explanation, taken from the very wise ancient sages where they spoke of three processes occurring in the mineral kingdom.


Salt

Salt to the Ancients was the very Earthly substance, for example: “the salt of the Earth”, the ore in metallic terms, or the very physical and tangible.


Sulphur

The Sulphur to the ancients was the substance that was saturated with the intangible, that is with energy, warmth, electricity, light and other cosmic forces and rays.


Mercury

The mercury was the substance that was the result of the sulphur acting on the salt, that is the intangible energies acting on tangible substances. Mercury was the substance that was open to the interplay of both forces, that is one radiating out from the Earth and the other radiating in from the cosmos.


Conclusion

In Gnosis and in Alchemy the sulphur is the fire of the Divine Mother and the Mercury is the result of the transmutation, which is the erotic sexual fire (sulphur) acting on the salt where the energy in the salt or raw mercury (seminal entity), is extracted and rises up the spinal column into the brain. The Mercury is not Sulphur nor salt but a result of both, where it comes from the salt but is extracted by the sulphur.

End (288).

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...
