Separation, Separation, Separation – (1792)

Introduction

When working with the death of ego the most critical step is Separation. Once there is separation everything flows on from there.

When there is no separation there is struggling and more struggling. Our major difficulties with the dissolution of the ego come from the lack of separation.

If we are having trouble we need to direct all of our forces into the work of separation. Precisely into capturing the profound understanding that we are not that ego that is bothering us.


Separation is an Experience

Separation is the realisation of our consciousness that we are not the ego that bothers us. That it is a fragment of our psychology – a real psychological person within us. It is a voice within a psychological space that is not us.

We are not the voice in our mind, we are not our mind and we are not our thoughts and we are not our body, we are the awareness backdrop in which all of this plays out onto and unfolds onto. We are the light and the screen that all these forms appear on.

When we experience this, we are set, separation follows. The practice that I gave in a previous post is very useful in arriving at this experience that we are separate from the bothersome ego. We are our whole life, we are wider and ampler than the ego, it is a small fraction of our life. Addiction is the blowing up of that ego into areas of our life where it should not be.


Can Dissolve what is Separate

Only when we separate the ego from us, can we offer it up for dissolution. When it is part of us and joined to us and fused in us, offering it up for dissolution means offering ourselves up and it hurts and we resist and resist and it is futile and ineffective.


Conclusion

Separation is very powerful and mandatory for elimination of the ego as well we getting better and overcoming the ego.

End (1792).

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...
