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 be.

These two terms are equivalent, both contain “Kunda” at the beginning and both after the initial “Kunda” contain words which mean buffer. Amortiguador is the Spanish word for buffer. The English term Kundabuffer is more complete, it appears as though the Spanish term has been modified slightly to sound better.

According to Gurdjieff the organ which he called Kundabuffer was originally named that and he does not give any origin to the word “Kunda”. He does however, as does Master Samael explain the origin of the word “Kundalini”. Where the word "Kundalini" is of Atlantean origin and means the end of the Kundabuffer. Master Samael says "lini" means end of.

If you do a bit of searching on the internet you will see that “Kunda” means a cavity or deep pit or “Kundal” being that which is coiled. All of these meanings point to the coccyx.

So What is it?

The kundabuffer in us, the human being was a physical organ in very ancient and remote times but now is only a bony appendage seen at the end of our coccyx. However the effects or consequences of having that organ are still with us, residing in our psyche.

We don’t have it physically but psychically or psychologically yes. Furthermore, it can be developed unfortunately with certain practices, and that is something that we are certainly not interested in doing, as strengthening the kundabuffer never brings anything good, it only deepens the sleep of the consciousness and increases one's sufferings.

What Does it Do?

In the human being it acts upon our psyche hypnotising us, making us to believe the arguments from the ego that are not true, or at best half-true.

It also participates in the creation of psychological “I’s” and it is the element in us that produces fantasy and allows us to continue with fantasy and keep believing in, as if they were real, our unrealistic and untrue imaginings. In other words it hypnotises us lulling us to sleep, causing our consciousness, which is the only element in us that can perceive reality, to sleep and sleep deeply.

To be hypnotised is essentially to believe in what is not true!

Buffers our Psyche from Reality

Gurdjief named it the "kundabuffer" because it acts to buffer our psyche from reality. Buffers in the physical world always soften impacts or collisions between two bodies or objects, and so the kundabuffer does exactly that in our psyche. It softens the shocks that we can receive in our psyche from reality. This is because with these shocks that we get from reality we can awaken consciousness and keep our consciousness awakened. this was the original purpose of the kundabuffer, to make the very ancient human beings to become fascinated with life on Earth and therefore become good citizens.

Master Samael says that when a person tries to awaken and is starting to awaken, nature uses her most powerful weapon to hinder that person's efforts and that weapon is fantasy. Fantasy is nothing other than believing in the untrue, when we believe in the untrue our consciousnesses is lulled to sleep.

Hypnotic Grip

The kundabuffer is also psychologically multiplied in the sense that every ego that we have, has a kundabuffer. The kundabuffer or tail of every ego is the hypnotic grip that that ego has over our consciousness. The hypnotic grip is the force of the ego, where we know that the ego is wrong yet we still want to go through with it. The hypnotic grip makes us to do the things that we don't really want to do.

In oneiric experiences with the egos we can see that they have a tail, and the tail is nothing other than this hypnotic grip or a representation of the power of the kundabuffer that this ego has in it.

How do we Get Rid of It?

We get rid of the consequences of the Kundabuffer in our psyche by awakening and developing the Kundalini, which is, as the word describes: "the end of the Kundabuffer organ", and dissolving the psychological “I”.

Conclusion

Many avatars and great masters have come to help humanity to liberate it from the consequences of the Kundabuffer organ. Master Samael has come again and with the three factors (dissolution of the psychological ‘I’, transmutation of the sexual energy and the sacrifice for humanity) we can definitely remove ourselves from under the grasp and shadow of the hypnotising consequence of the Kundabuffer organ.
