We Need to do the Opposite of what we Commonly do with the Elements!

We Need to do the Opposite of what we Commonly do with the Elements! – (1465)

Introduction

In our physical world we have the four elements, and what is common is for us human beings to do with them is to use them to live. We live on the Earth and off the Earth, we live in the air and breathe the air, we drink water and we use fire to fulfil to help us the essential tasks and duties of our lives.

It would be good if we stopped there but we go further, we pollute the elements and misuse them, sometimes against their own inherent nature.

We Pollute and Misuse the Elements

We pollute the waters, we pollute the air and we pollute the earth. We trap and stop the natural flow of water and we excavate on a grand scale the earth. Fire is used to do all of these things, to pollute the air and the damn the water and dig up the Earth.

Our Inner Elements

We also have the elements within us and the ego does the same outside of ourselves as it does inside of ourselves. That is pollute and misuse, meaning that we have to purify and reassign their use.

The ego pollutes our inner air with negative thoughts (especially lustful and ill-willed ones), the ego also pollutes our inner waters making them dark and heavy, the ego through inferior emotions causes our fire element to burn emitting heavy dark smoke and the ego tenses and stains our earth element with all its various strains and tension.

Purify and Use Correctly

The best thing that we can do by the elements is keep them clean and use them in accordance with their nature. Allow water to flow, air to expand and move, fire to energise and transform positively and earth to stay firm, stabilise and keep practical.

The ego produces a lot of refuse within us and so it has to go somewhere. Just as in our physical world it goes into the elements it goes into our elements as well.

That is why just before the minor initiations there is the “Hall of the Fire” where the elements are purified relatively in us so that our Divine Mother in the form of the Kundalini when it is time for her to awaken can be nourished by relatively purer elements.

End (1465).

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...
