Repolarise the Temptation!

Repolarise the Temptation! - (804)

An Aspect of Temptation

Temptation is about getting something, what makes the temptation powerful is that there is something to be gained or obtained. The greater the desire for that attainment or the more important it is to us, the greater the force of temptation will be felt in us.

We have to know or see that that there is something positive to gain in not giving into to temptation.

Missing Out

Usually we feel that we are missing out on something or loosing something. If we see that we are gaining something when we triumph over a temptation then we can actually give ourselves a better chance in actually triumphing over or not succumbing to temptation.

To counteract this we have to contrast what we will gain by not succumbing to temptation and what we are denying and what we will lose if we fail. So it is to do the opposite of what the temptation has us do.

Conclusion

See the side of triumphing, see that something will be gained rather than something will be lost. Also see what we will lose if we fail! The main power of temptation is feeling happy, see that we will feel happy when we triumph over it because we will gain something. We think that giving in is where the happiness is, which is not true there is happiness in triumphing.

Either way temptation is something of a gift. IF we triumph we get a gift, if we fail we get a gift only that pain comes later with gift, and when we triumph happiness comes with that gift.

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...
