A Modus Operandi of Lust - (550)

Introduction

With lust we think that we have to experience in some way another person and there seems to be no way out of it. We just have to come into some sort of experience with another person and that is it, or if not, we just have to entirely sacrifice lust and that seems really hard, so we end up in a real fix.

However, as you may suspect that is a state brought about due to a lack of understanding, and therefore with understanding it can be remedied.


Modus Operandi

What is going on inside of ourselves is a projection of pleasure and that projection actually creates pleasurable sensations in our centres especially the sexual centre. So then that projection only appears given some triggers and there are two triggers. One trigger is some sort of contact with another person, and the second trigger is our imagining or thinking about that contact.


Tricked

So then we get fooled into thinking that we need the other person to provide this pleasure which is really the pleasure that we give ourselves by that projection of our mind creating those pleasurable sensations and feelings. What we really want is the pleasure that we give to ourselves which comes from that projection or exaggeration. Because we think that to have that pleasure we need that physical trigger we desire the other person.

The trick is to undo the projection or exaggeration or swell of emotions and thoughts that are the pleasure that we create for ourselves. If we do that then the desire for the physical trigger will automatically dissolve.


Proof

The proof of this is that when a person comes into contact with another person with a totally blank mind then the real sensations or thoughts and emotions will be felt. The result is to see what is real and one sees that there is really not much or there is not such a big deal there. Certainly, not too much to obsess over and fall head over heels in desire for.

So then what we lust over is our own mental inflation or exaggeration of sensation, emotion and thoughts that lead to the out of control excitement of the emotional and sexual centres.


Conclusion

A silent mind reveals to us what is real and allows us to see our own illusion. The key is to dissolve our own illusion which we have come to desire. If we break that illusion the desire for it will diminish and then our state of affairs in relation to desire toward the opposite sex will be modified. There will be a more real, balanced perception that allows us to be in control of our centres and allows us to remember the Being.


End (550).

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...
