We Don’t Wake up in Good nor in Evil but in the Being - (275)

Introduction

Retreats can be useful for the Gnostic student for many reasons. One big reason is that new knowledge and understanding can be acquired, especially the knowledge or understanding that bridges a gap or fills a hole in our understanding.


The retreat that a number of Gnostic students in Australia took part in (Perth November/December 2014) was particularly useful for me in the way of healing many sores in my mind, one of them was that of the awakening in good or in evil.




Awakening in Evil

We know from what Master Samael teaches that those in the abyss end up awakening in evil, that this they are very aware of evil, how it is done and of the negative side of occult powers and forces etc. The Gnostic student is not on that path and neither wants that, though the Gnostic student knows of that awakening by hearsay and reading only.


Surprise - Awakening is not Awakening in Good

Because of duality and the opposites we think that the Gnostic student when he or she awakens will awaken in good. That though is not the case. The Gnostic student does not awaken in good, but awakens to reality, awakens in the Being (one’s ultimate reality) and awakened to that above good and evil.

It has to be that way because the awakening can only bring freedom this way, if one is awakened to good only, one is trapped and limited and condemned to the eternal fight between good and evil. To be awakened is to be aware of the great reality and both good and evil is part of the great reality, so the awakening soars beyond duality, the good and the evil and encompasses their unity in the great reality of things. Anyway to be awakened in a moment is to transcend the relativity and duality in the event of the moment and within oneself in the moment.


The Awakened Person Acts Outside of Good and Evil

The awakened person though can do some things that seem evil but have a good result, if one was trapped in good that could not be done. The awakened one also knows how to do good, the real good, because the sleeping person so many times wants to do good but can not, intends to do good but fails in doing the good.


Conclusion

I always fought that idea of awakening in good because I thought that it was just the same as those who awaken in evil, just the opposite side of the same coin.

However the awakening is something of awakening to the cosmos and of the great reality of life. Buddha was asked once, “Are you a sinner, are you a saint” and he replied “I am awakened”. That reply of Buddha to those questions says it all, the awakened one is not a saint nor a sinner but someone who is outside of these things and aware of the reality of both in their balance and fusion.

End (275).

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...
