How the Knight Tiphereth Fights for His Damsel Geburah - (946)

About Geburah or Buddhi

Note

This description comes from a short talk that my marvellous missionary gave one day, these are my notes.

Geburah

Geburah, She is the messenger of Atman. She is the force of the consciousness. She is so beautiful yet so strong and powerful. She is the power of cognition and the power to shape and express the 'to be'.

Buddhi or Geburah needs to gain the ability to actually shape things here in creation. Buddhi and Manas carry out the conviction of Atman. That is why they are his two legs and also his two souls at the same time.

Tiphereth is also the medieval knight that fights for his lady - Geburah.


This medieval picture of Geburah or Buddhi as a damsel in distress gives us the idea that Buddhi is delicate but she certainly has a strong side, especially as the consciousness. Master Samael said that to withstand the Absolute or the Tallity we need the consciousness to be as strong as a diamond.

She is wisdom, beauty, elegance and strength combined. Just like the Greek Goddesses Athena and Minerva. They are Goddesses of Wisdom and warriors at the same time.


Master Samael on the Two Souls

Excerpt 1

“Atman is the Divine Spirit (an emanation from the Logos). He has two souls, Buddhi and Manas.  It is vital to comprehend this. In the Middle Ages, when the medieval knight departed in order to fight for his lady, it was nothing more than the human soul struggling for the conquest of his Spiritual Soul.

I achieved the comprehension of this when my Real Being took me into the causal world, which is a world of an intense electric blue colour. The King, Atman, the Lord, was seated at a table with a beautiful lady, who was his Spiritual Soul, his Beatrice, his Valkyrie. They were seated in a triangle with the human soul. Atman began to speak and said, "I have two souls, the Spiritual Soul and the human soul, and while the human soul works, the spiritual soul plays and lives happily. This is my doctrine. Thus, we three are one."

We, Atman, Buddhi and Manas were reunited in the Causal world, in that region of causes. So without such experience I could not explain this in a clear way.

Atman unfolds into Buddhi and Buddhi into Manas, just as when we look at ourselves in a mirror.  Thus, the Trinity is created. The Essence is an enfoldment of the Superior Manas. This Essence in its turn is bottled up within the "ego". The awakening of this Essence is the awakening of consciousness, it is to make oneself conscious of the mysteries of life and death. Many want to awaken the consciousness but they abandon the work at any moment. This is why the Maithuna was not communicated to anyone if previously this person did not have an awakened consciousness.”

Excerpt 2

“Divine Spirit - Atman
Human Soul - Manas
Spiritual Soul - Buddhi

The two Souls must be fused; the masculine Human Soul with the Spiritual Feminine Soul. This is not achieved without having previously eliminated the "I", and having eliminated the Body of Desires. The two Souls must be one.

This is the Great Alliance between the knight and the medieval lady. This is found in the books of Cavalry, "El Romancero", in the ballads of Count Roldan, in the Minstrel songs of the Troubadors. The knight who fights for his lady, is the Human Soul. The lady is the Spiritual Soul. The knight has to fight for his lady, otherwise he is left without her.

In order to attain total Illumination the knight and his lady must be completely integrated. The knight must fight for her at any moment, until developing the lotus of 1000 petals. Buddhi gives the Illumination in the great matrimony or alchemical wedding of Manas Buddhi. Without Buddhi, the complete development of the 1000 petaled chakra Sahasrara,  cannot be achieved.”

End (946).

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
