Chastity

Values – A State of Consciousness

Chastity from the Gnostic point of view, is a value or a state of consciousness.

A value or state of consciousness means a comprehensive and deep understanding of how ‘something’ functions and the wisdom on how that ‘something’ can be wisely used.

The nature of the understanding mentioned above, is first internal then external, where the internal is about how this ‘something’ is part of one’s inner Being.

When it comes to chastity that ‘something’ referred to above is sexuality and sexual energy. When it comes to anger that ‘something’ is force and when it comes to pride that ‘something’ is balance, dignity and majesty etc.

Understanding in Chastity

The understanding in chastity is that each human being has a special source of life energy that is extraordinarily powerful and whose function is to create.

Chastity understands that this energy is part of one’s Being and needs to be related to. It knows both ways (white and black) of relating to it. It is the result of the contrast of these two ways.

It knows that energy flows and needs to be directed and channelled. It is the appreciation of the value of this energy, and it is the knowledge of the conservation and wise application of this energy.

It knows that this energy can be fused within and there is an ascension, a triumph, a new octave, different to the known and lamentable crash of the possession of a sensation that has a high price.

Only the fool would burn a bag of money, a white magician would use the money for good, and a black magician would use the money for evil. In both ways that money is purposefully used according to the nature of the user, and only an ignorant and foolish person would waste it. The person without chastity wastes their energy, because one is ignorant of it. A chaste person is not ignorant.

Sexuality

The wise and loving relationship with this energy is the value of sexuality. Where sexuality is a way of loving one’s inner Being with the sexual energy. Of course, of course if one has love inside for the Being then that love will extend outwards to one’s Alchemical spouse.

Loving others is only complete when one loves their own Being. Loving others without loving one’s own Being is incomplete. Love for one’s Being exudes love for others as well. You can only give what you have. If you have love for others you can love the Being in you, and if you love the Being in you, you will love others.

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...
