Being One Up on the Ego Builds Faith

Being One Up on the Ego Builds Faith - (1596)

Weathered the Storm

As soon as we have managed to have weathered a storm of an ego and have survived it without having given in to its desires (we may have despaired emotionally a little or believe in its logic for a while etc.), we have done something terrific!

Laid Down a Brick of Faith

When we weather a storm, we have laid down a solid brick of real faith for ourselves that will be immensely useful in the future.

This brick of faith will tell you that when we are about to face a storm from the same ego or a different one, as we have done it once we can do it again and we can survive it and be fine on the other side.

Of course it will be difficult and in the middle of it we may think that we can't take it anymore, but somehow we got over that before and we will do it again, and will be better off for having done it.

If we Gave In Don't Despair

If we passed through a storm and gave in, don't despair another one is on its way if you keep your line of working on it and try again, this time you will do better because you have more experience.

You know what it is like to give in and as you don't want that you will have more resolve this time to do much better. Sometimes our progress is to give in less and less until one day we don't give in and we weather the storm.

Laugh in the Storm

As you have weathered the storm once, while in the next storm laugh. Because you know that all these emotions and thoughts that seem so real, so compelling, so indismissable will all pass soon and they will seem like a dream, just like a mirage that seemed real but are not really real!

End (1596).

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...
