Rescue Imagination - (1267)

Introduction

There are quite a few things that we must rescue within ourselves. “Rescue what from whom?” you may ask. Rescue our word, our imagination, our sexual force, our will, our senses, our mind, our emotion, from the various egos.

It is really a precious faculty. It has many positive uses in life, in our esoteric practices and as a means to acquire knowledge.

This post is about rescuing our imagination.

Rescue Imagination from Fantasy

Master Samael says that we all have the ability to see and that ability to see is our faculty of imagination. He also says that imagination is clairvoyance. He says that everyone is clairvoyant to some degree.

As with everything, there is duality within us and we have the other side of imagination which is fantasy. Fantasy uses the faculty of seeing within us. However, it uses it incoherently, unrealistically, illogically and mechanically.

We have to rescue our imagination from the egos that wish to use it to see. The ego uses it to create scenarios to fulfil its desires if it can not fulfil here in reality. Or the ego uses fantasy to see how it can fulfil desires. It creates scenarios about the possibilities of how its desires can be fulfilled.

The next post after this one will go into fantasy in more depth.


Why Rescue Imagination

Here is a very powerful time worn and experienced to satiation reason why it is worth while working daily to rescue our imagination from fantasy.

Fantasy = Stress

Fantasy produces stress, it strains our brain, our mind and our heart. Fantasy actually uses up large resources of mental, emotional and sexual energy. After fantasy we are left hurting, drained, less lucid, a little confused, disappointed, a little down, a little dizzy and a loser – because we have gained nothing and have lost a lot.

Anyway here is the big reason, when we use imagination or fantasy our brain begins to see what is being imagined in our mind as real and so it begins to send signals to the body accordingly. If we are imagining something scary the brain will begin to send signals to the body to get ready to escape. Our heart begins to race, our nerves get edgy, our solar plexus begins to churn and we become agitated. If we are seeing erotic images in our mind our sexual centre gets activated as if we were to experience what we are seeing.


Fantasy Squeezes Our Brain

Fantasy forces our brain to make a huge effort to adapt our body to what we are fantasising about, and because it is not reality and is not in our nature our brain has to change things and this is what uses up heaps of energy and actually hurts our brain.

Fantasy is stressful and it is not relaxing at all.

Seeing the flow of our life and being present here right now in our own reality is relaxing and is our only resting place, or well our best resting place.

End (1267).

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...
