Mantras: Step 1 - Purpose and Intention

Mantras: Step 1 - Purpose and Intention – (1543)

Logos

“The Logos sounds” Master Samael says.

In Greek the word ‘logos’ means ‘word’ or ‘plan’. Logos also come to mean the “word of God” and it is also known in other contexts as the principle of divine reason and creative order.

All of the above meanings are significant and relate to one another. They are all aspects of the one and same thing: universal sound.

The Logos was the one that created Master Samael said. This is because the word creates and as the Logos is the word, it was the Logos that created.

For there to be any kind of creation there must first of all be the reason to create. So the Logos had a reason, a purpose and an intention to create.

Mantras are there to Create

When we chant a mantra we wish to create something. So, in that moment we are acting like a mini Logos.

Just as the Logos infused Its intention to create through sound and its intelligence through the word we have to do the same.

If there was no intention or cause or reason to create then the sound and the word of the Logos would not have reached its effect, that is causing creation to erupt from within the bosom of the Absolute.

No Purpose = Mechanical and No Creation

If we don’t have a purpose or an intention to vocalise a mantra the practice of chanting the mantra will become mechanical, and most certainly results will seldom arrive that way.

Creation is ordered and intelligent and if we don’t put a purpose and intention into the mantra or the sound that we make we can not for a second expect to create something ordered.

This is why sound creates geometry, because there is an intelligence moving through it.

End (1543).

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...
