The True Sentiment of the Astral Body

The True Sentiment of the Astral Body – (1089)

Sentiments of the Being

Master Samael says that with the astral body one can feel the sentiments of the Being.

The sentiments of the Being are what are true or what reflect the truth.

Sentiments are different to emotions.

As the truth does not change the sentiments of the Being do not change, they continue of the same quality reflecting the same truth.

Emotions

Emotions come and go and change.

In the humanoid condition that is without the Being (human soul or higher) or without the state where we have the essence as the centre of gravity, we mostly experience emotions which we confuse as being the sentiment of the Being. We confuse these emotions as being expressions of truth. But they are not reflections of the truth because they change.

We feel at night that something is ok, but come the morning it all changes and it feels different. We feel we love and that that feeling of love is true, but it changes etc. etc. We may feel something about a thing, activity or person and we feel that that feeling is a true perception but it later changes, showing us that what we felt was only an emotion.

Conclusion

The point of this post is to be weary of the emotions, if they seem to be reflecting a truth about something or about ourselves just wait. If they change, it was a subjective state producing subjective emotions, but if they remain then they could well be sentiments of the Being and perhaps there is an astral body there involved. But it yet has to be confirmed and known with more concrete evidence before conclusively concluding that to ourselves.

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...
