About Fantasy and Imagination - (1268)

Introduction

Here are notes from a talk that my marvellous missionary gave on fantasy and imagination. Top stuff! This was an excellent lecture.

Fantasy

Fantasy is about creating scenarios. It is anything that is outside the frame of reality in our current environment.

Imagination involves the participation of the essence!

Fantasy uses emotional, intellectual and sexual energies to make the fantasy appear real.

We have desire and fantasy on one side and imagination and will on the other side.

Top Point Right Here!

Imagination is used as a faculty to see to learn or to know about something by seeing. When we use fantasy we don't want to see anything we are seeing already.

With imagination we want to see. With fantasy we are not wanting to see, we are wanting ‘to be' or ‘to have’ or rather actually convince ourselves that 'we are' or 'we have'. With imagination ‘we are’ already because it is the essence ‘that is’ and it is the essence that is using the faculty of imagination.


Imagination and Will

When we use imagination the aspect of will is in there in action as the will to want to see and to know. The imagination aspect is there waiting and seeing.


Fantasies of Lust

The fantasies of lust are based on: "what could happen with that person". If we stick to reality this base statement crumbles, because we know "nothing will happen" with that person.


Fantasy is Mechanical

Fantasy is mechanical. People can not imitate others without fantasy. Fantasy is the agent of imitation, we want in our fantasy to be like that person or have what he/she has.

Fantasy is the projection or focus of our light onto something that is not real for us.


Searching Within is the Use of Imagination

When we search within ourselves looking for the ego or reasons behind the ego or within the ego we are using imagination.

When we use imagination we stay within the parameters of reality and reason. Fantasy goes outside of these parameters.


Most Dangerous Fantasies

The most dangerous fantasies are those that are based on our false self-image, our false identity and our false self-concept.

If we are really John McArthur for example, where were we before we were born? Were you John McArthur before you were born? No you are something different you are something universal and perennial. John McArthur is certainly not universal and perennial, when John MacArthur dies that is the end of John MacArthur but something else lives on.


Self-Concept and Self-Image

Self-concept, self-image. are a self-photo a selfie, that we create. Every ego we have is actually an identity.

Top Point Right Here

Self-concept is also quite dangerous too! It is used to communicate with life, it is like a mask. That we actually also create. We nearly do everything in life through this concept. It is something that is a relatively true and relatively false concept of ourselves.

Our identity changes. Self-concept is a perception of ourselves.

Our identity changes through life. So then which or what is our true identity.

We have to in our work change our perception that we have of ourselves. We can not progress in the work on ourselves otherwise.

We have to change our perception to our real nature as an essence and not as a personality. If we see ourselves as a person, a personality, we will end having no other remedy than to see ourselves as a bunch of interests that we have to pursue and defend.

End (1268).

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...
