Learn from Nature – Submittal belongs to an Animal Nature – (1347)

Introduction

Watching some nature documentaries is very good at times. Because it shows the behaviour present in the plant and animal kingdoms and it allows us to reflect and verify that actually human beings and animals, when it comes to their behaviour, they have much in common.

This makes sense because human beings are an animal with intellect. The essence that a human being has is the same that an animal has and the only difference is that animals have two brains while we have three brains, the difference being the intellectual centre and the facility of speech. Also because the ego in us is actually of an animal nature.


Submittal

I always thought that being submissive was good and that it was a way of avoiding pride or counteracting pride. However watching many nature documentaries I began to reflect and think that submittal is very animal like. All the animals do it all over the world.



Can be Eliminated

We actually can eliminate submittal from our life. It is not really a correct relation with the Being that we have within us. We can in the physical world take a second position or a less active position and respect others who are above us, but to take the identity of submittal and the role of submittal is animal like. Behind it is fear, which is very animal like. The animal kingdom works all based on fear and aggression.

Pride and fear use the submissive attitude when we are concerned that we are going to be displaced or removed. This is really a lack of self-respect or a lack of respect for the Being inside of ourselves. When we submit ourselves as per assuming the role of submittal we are lowering our dignity and we are abandoning our Being. The best is to remember our inner Being and respectfully remain passive or quiet allowing those whose proper place it is to take the lead.


Conclusion

Not submitting does not mean to surpass, overrule, usurp or take over. It means to remain as we are respecting higher authorities yet not feeling scared or lower.

We can eliminate submittal using respect, awareness and a love and appreciation for the divine presence dwelling within ourselves.

End (1347).

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...
