A Word to Death - (1922)

Death you are depicted as only only bones. Maybe because that is what we are reduced to as you pass us by, or maybe because you leave it for each one of us to dress you and see you as they will.

You are a presence, a force, that few we are told can reckon with. It is said that the Being in us can reckon with you. We have been taught that if in life we held our consciousness awake, in death it shall also hold awake.

You and life are entwined, are twins, dependent upon one another and as you are the last act of our life, the summon of our life, as our consciousness didn’t sleep in life, so you too will will allow it to stay awake.

You rule a person's life, you set a person's destiny. You set the foot prints upon which a person's life follows. You can change a person's destiny, you can change a person's life. You are a formidable power. If only men and women would know this. If only they would remember you and live by you they could be helped by you and in the supreme moment of their life reap the rewards that comes from your scythe.



Now I understand the why of the scythe. Death reaps for the person what a person has done in life.

You are not maleficent, you are not terrible, you have a grim face but a good heart.You are a principle of the Absolute, you fulfil a necessary cosmic function. Without you life would falter.

You are an agent of the real, a just operator, you vanquish all vanities and bring us all to be equal. 

You reward those who remember you in life and who sought your guidance. 

May I be able to live from now on seeing you as a cosmic force, as wisdom, as freedom and as the entrance to the real.

May this be with full and whole heart that I meet you this life with much to be reaped by your scythe, nothing to regret and all to look ahead to!

End (1922).

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...
