Introduction to Past Lives

Introduction to Past Lives - (725)

An Overview

Another very touchy topic, some religions certainly do believe in previous lives while others, such as the Christian religions do not. It has been said that up until the first council of Nicea in 324AD the teaching of past lives was present in the Christian doctrine, though after the council it was struck out and no longer accepted. Past Lives certainly makes a lot of sense and certainly can explain a lot of things about ourselves and humanity at large.

Past lives explain much about our present tendencies, likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses and happenings in our present life. Past lives explain our current bouts of fortune and misfortune. There is a reason behind everything that happens to us and we have what we have due to merits. That is, we have what we deserve or have worked for. Implying then that the causes of what we have and are, lie in our past and if we can’t find these causes in this life, they are hidden in one or more of our previous lives.

The Gnostic view holds that human beings have one life, and that same flow of life over time, takes on several different human personalities or human existences.

Our past life memories are hidden in our subconscious and what really matters is to unearth them, to verify for ourselves that human beings have past lives and by studying our past lives, come to know and understand why we are the way we are.

The Gnostic study of past lives focus on the importance of past lives, the teachings related to past lives and most important of all; techniques and practices to remember our past lives.

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...
