Individuality Starts with Relocating the Reference Point!

Individuality Starts with Relocating the Reference Point! – (1388)

Psychological Individual

We start to experience what it is to be a psychological individual when we relocate our reference point from the outside to the inside. That is from other people or our thoughts and feelings about other people to what we know about ourselves and our own consciousness and conscience.

There are degrees of psychological individuality, however none of them can ever be attained if one has not relocated his or her reference point to be in his/her consciousness.

A person who has his or her reference point by which to cause his or her psychological processes is a person that is dependent on the reactions of others. Such a person always asks for approval, feels that he or she is always doing something wrong, always feels guilty and nervous, is always worried what others think about him or her and always feels people are looking at him or her and are judging him or her (in other words ‘self-conscious’ in ordinary everyday language).

When we have our reference point all wrong (located outside of ourselves) we are very much like puppets.

Feeling ‘self-conscious’ in ordinary everyday language is a clear sign to us that in that moment we have our reference point all wrong! Feeling this way is the opposite of being conscious of oneself.

To generate your actions from within, to do what is right or correct by your own consciousness, work, path and Being in any given moment, it is imperative that you have your reference point in those mentioned internal elements of at least our essence or consciousness or work. The path and the Being are pretty difficult to find at times but we can always (well much more readily) find consciousness and essence.

Esoteric Individual

An esoteric individual is a step up from a psychological individual. One begins to become an esoteric individual when one incarnates the human soul. There are as always, octaves of this process and the degree of esoteric or sacred individuality increases as one advances on the path as more and more parts of the person’s Being are incorporated or incarnated within the person.

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...
