Ride the Wave of a Retreat to a Result – (1750)

Retreats Very Helpful

Gnostic retreats can be a helpful experience. They are also an awesome opportunity to receive a lot of help. That help can come in the form of a lecture or practice or even a conversation. At a retreat a lot of people gather who are working on themselves and so there is a lot of wisdom available to help people. So, if we get talking to people we can receive a surprising amount of help.

If Struggling Retreats Help not Make Thing Worse!

Usually if people are struggling they think that a retreat will make things worse for them or make them even more upset or angrier etc. But that is not so. A retreat acts to pull people out of the state where an ego or egos are filling a person up with so much resistance. Once a person is out of that negative state things change completely.

Help Through the Pleasant and Unpleasant

You know help comes through the good and through the unpleasant. Sometimes what has helped me most in some retreats has been a derogatory or out of the ordinary comment. The effort to transform it or and the determination to not be the cause of having to receive that comment has made me work on myself for quite a well.

So, help comes through both hands, left and the right. If it is help that we want be ready to receive it via both hands, not just one.

Use the Retreat

The smart thing to do with any retreat is to use what you accumulated during the retreat towards a certain result. It could be that you want to use the new energy and understanding that you have to take a step further in dissolving an ego. This is really great! Do it!

Don’t Waste the Retreat

To go to a Gnostic retreat is not easy most of the time, you made the effort to go, to attend and to even work for it to pay for it. IT was your money, your time, your attention, your life please don’t waste it.

If you attended a Gnostic retreat, use it to pay for some advancement or channel the light, force, new hope, new trust, new resolution etc. that you received into a renewed effort to die or to do something esoteric.

It just does not makes sense to go into some identification or fascination with a boosted and renewed energy and strength that came from the retreat! But being unaware we often do that sort of thing! So I am writing this post just to for us to be a bit more aware of these things and for us to make the most out our beautiful efforts, time and energy which is our life.

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...
