Temptations are Duality

Temptations are Duality - (807)

Introduction

Duality is a very large conditioner and nearly everything except our consciousness is conditioned by duality or conditioned by virtue of the opposites.

Temptation to Bring Out Contradictions

Temptation is seated in duality. It is like temptations are there to bring out your inner contradictions so that you unify yourself, that is unify yourself in the ego or in the Being. We are really only tempted when we are fighting or struggling between the two opposites of the duality within the temptation. Wherever there is duality the re immediately is relativity. For someone a temptation is not at all a temptation because they just naturally chose the ego without a second’s thought and some may chose the Being or the essence without a second thought.

Use Duality

We can use duality to our advantage when we face temptation. If we see all that we will acquire or experience when we pass a temptation we see temptation as a chance to win something new. The big key is to look upon what we will gain with an emotion greater than the emotion inherent in the temptation. The big key or pivotal point is the emotion.

It has been said that in a battle between mind and emotion, emotion has the tendency to win.

To create emotion we have to go over and over the benefits of wining in our mind, we need to go over and over it with our intellect until it enters our emotion. That is how understanding or consciousness moves in our centres. IT starts in our intellect then with repletion it filters down into the emotion and then a more complete level of comprehension is acquired. Then after entering the emotion it enters the motor centre and then it enters the consciousness, and later it enters or fuses with the understanding and wisdom or consciousness of the parts of the Being.

Defeating Temptation Gives You Your Future Back

When we fail or triumph over a temptation we change our life. We either delay the progressions of our life’s events or path’s events or our life and path takes a different course.

When we pass temptations we create our future and vice versa.

Conclusion

Temptation is a battle of light and darkness, temptation is needed to bring out our contradictions so to give us the chance to unify either in light or in darkness. Light is happiness and darkness is bitterness.

Emotion is very important in triumphing over temptation, because we always act by virtue of emotion. The whole trick is to move emotion in favour of triumph.

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...
