The Four Elements are Spiritual Principles

The Four Elements are Spiritual Principles – (1861)

Crystallisations of Spiritual Principles

The four elements: fire, air, water and earth are physical manifestations or expressions or crystallisations of spiritual principles. Meaning that the four elements have a spiritual life and origin.

In effect, they are special because they are physical yet spiritual substances.

Reason Why

Have you ever thought why the four elements are animated? That is why there are salamanders, sylphs, undines and gnomes?

These little spiritual creatures or spirits or elementals are spiritual in nature and give these elements life. They are also the spiritual counterpart of the physical element, just as our body is the physical vehicle for our essence.

The physical substance of the elements is the physical body of the little elemental. Meaning for us that the four elements are living creatures and their spiritual principles are the elementals. That is why these elements have their special and unique psychological characteristics and properties.

In general, whatever has essence has a psychology. So the elementals of the elements have a psychology, and what's more this psychology influences our psychology also, as we have within us our own elementals within our mini universe.

Special Characteristics

Wherever there is something of the spirit, there is something individual that blends in with the greater whole and is a part of the greater whole.

That is why these four elements make up our constitution, and are also part of the path. They are spiritual principles or values inherent in us. As they are inherent in us we have to at some point on the path come to realise them.

The principles and teachings of the path laid down by Master Samael tell us that we need the characteristics of the elements to walk and triumph on the path. That is why there is the trails of the elements.

Tattwas

The tattwas are the vibrations of the elements and the tattwas are unfoldings or derivations of the original prana. Giving the four elements a spiritual origin and nature.

Allow Magic

It is the elementals of the elements that allow the magician to perform magical feats. This is because the spirit controls matter and so the elementals or spiritual values or principles of the elements controls them at the command of the magician.

End (1861).

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...
