Reading Authors other than Master Samael

Reading Authors other than Master Samael - (315)

Introduction

Master Samael wrote very extensively about many different esoteric topics and in his writings he answered many questions that many of us have and he also laid down a practical system for us to be able to arrive through our own experience at the truth of the matter we are interested in knowing about.

The Details and the Synthesis

Sometimes because he did not have time and because he is the master of the synthesis he could not write down all the details and smaller steps to arrive at the knowledge and experiences that he wrote about.

So, in these small gaps sometimes other authors can provide some helpful hints and information or explanations. Perhaps he also had a lot of consciousness and the apprehension of the knowledge was very direct, simple and immediate not requiring many steps which is what we may require at times.

Recommendation

It is my recommendation that the works of other authors be used in this way, helping one in one’s understanding of Gnosis and helping one within the goals of one’s work - definitely, not taking one off on a tangent into other studies that are not really going to take one closer to self-realisation.

Authors who are Dying Mystically or Awakening

The works of other authors who are awakening or awakened or are dying in themselves are very illuminating and helpful if they are written in a way that we can understand.

Conclusion

As the master of the synthesis Master Samael in his works extracted the essentials out of some many different doctrines and knowledge systems and practices and really if we just practice what he has laid down or get some hints and help to practice what he laid down we will get to his aim for us.

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...
