Worldly Feeling and Essence Feeling

Worldly Feeling and Essence Feeling - (1933)

Know How to Differentiate Between Them

It is very useful to know how to differentiate between these two feelings.

These two feelings definitely exist within us. Both feel pleasant but the feeling of the essence is one that is light, profound and expansive. It has a special flavour, it does not disadvantage us, it nourishes us, relaxes us, fulfils us, inspires us.

Worldly Feelings

Worldly feelings within us are when we are praised, re-assured, comforted, compensated, apologised to etc. These are the feelings the “I’s” in us generate. They are very different to the feeling of the essence. They are the feelings of self. Not of essence. The feelings of self-gratification, self-praise all set relative to others are worldly feelings and are of the self.

Essence Feeling

The essence feeling is the one that comes from the fruits of one’s work, the satisfaction of having pushed oneself to a result, the feeling of appreciation and wonder upon contemplating a sunset or sunrise or a river, a mountain range or the vast ocean or the vast open spaces that is so characteristic of our great southern land.

This feeling is the one more natural, refreshing and fulfilling. Master Samael says the feeling of the Being is the same as the feeling of the essence.

Contrast

We can contrast the two feelings so to know both of them better and so to be able to choose one over the other.

Feelings Drive Our Life

Our life is driven by feelings, we go to great length just to feel something. It the feeling that we want more than anything else. If we are wanting more the feeling of essence our life is going to change because it will be driven more into the work and into prayer and meditation where the feeling of the essence can be felt.

Conclusion

If we know the feelings of eth essence we c an know what is correct and right for us and what nourishes us and expresses more of the Being in us.

If we seek more the feelings of the essence our life will change.

We can also be more based in the feelings of our own essence. That is more and more derive more and more meaning from the feelings of the essence.

End (1933).

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...
