Lust - the Search for Love Relative to Senses and Sex

Lust - the Search for Love Relative to Senses and Sex - (322)

Introduction

At the bottom of lust is really the search for a kind of love and acceptance.

Something knows in us that to have sex even if it is once, is to be loved and accepted in some way.

So the problem here lies, not in the search for love but in the way it is searched for and where. Lust thinks love is where its ideas of what pleases the senses are satisfied and that love is found in the sexual act. In some way that is true but definitely not exclusively true. Lust gets it wrong when it only considers these two places and rules everything out.

The Search

However this search for love is done by considering the sexual act and making sure the senses and their criteria are pleased.

Vision of Lust

Lust only thinks of the senses, matter, sensations and the sexual act. It only happens to look through these very limited lenses – it has tunnel vision.

It thinks love is possible when the senses are fulfilled, when the sexual act is complete. That is why it looks for those things only and does not consider anything else, mainly because the love of lust is the sensual kind of love.

Conclusion

There are other ways to search for love. But the correct way is the full or total picture not the narrow picture that lust makes a human being to think that love is found and fulfilled through the senses and the sexual act. A broader view considering all three types of love will change this very narrow and incorrect view that lust has.

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...
