The Conditioning of the Past – (1148)

Introduction

This is a huge area of work for us. We are all severely conditioned by the past. This topic was talked about by my marvellous missionary.

This post goes into the topic of the past showing how we are conditioned by the past and how this conditioning can be undone.


Seeing by Virtue of the Past

We see the events of life from the past, we see people from the past and we see ourselves from the past.


The Past Influences our Perceptions and our Perceptions Produce Actions

Our perceptions are conditioned by the past and as our perception leads to actions, our current actions are conditioned by the past.

The process is:

Perception -> Concepts -> Feeling -> Emotion -> Action.

We talk to people from the past, we open a door according to what happened in the past. We answer the phone according to what happened in the past etc.


When Stuck in the Past

What we do if we are stuck in the past is that we end up projecting our past into our future instead of our present into our future!


Judging by the Past

When we judge others, myself and life by virtue of the past we end up usually coming to negative conclusions.

When judge by virtue of the past we sabotage the present!


Ego and the Past

The ego is memory and it has many memory banks. It in fact lives in the past and feeds off the past.

Only the free essence can see things correctly. For that matter the inner mind is the part in our mind that also sees things correctly.

Resentment, hatred, self-love, lust, jealousy etc. can not live without the past.

The ego needs the past to keep it going in the present.


Karma and the Past

Karma is time, space and memory.

If we were to not have karma, we would have a very different way of speaking because speaking creates much karma.

Because of karma we get attached to the past and act out of it.

It is advisable to not pray with pain from the past, because pain attracts more pain.

We project our karma which is from the past onto the present.

To remove much of the conditioning our essence is subject to, we have to delve into the past.


Removing the Conditioning of the Past

The transformation of impressions is pure Alchemy in the psychological sense or dimension.

We have to transform the past by virtue of transforming values! That is taking the value outside of relativity and duality.

The problem is that we open the door to the past. We answer the present with past and we will answer to the future by today.

If we go into our past we must do so, to work, to transform, that is to dig into it to find material to learn, not to get stuck there, and when we get stuck in the past we get stagnated.

Because the ego lives in the past we will find it there.

End (1148).

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...
