Laws of Sacrifice and Falling

Laws of Sacrifice and Falling - (2002)

Introduction

Sacrifice and falling are exact opposites.

Master Samael says that both of these laws exist: that of sacrifice and that of falling.

Sacrifice

Master Samael says that sacrifice is “the conscious choice of one good superior to another”. You can find this very beautiful and wise definition in his book the “Secret Doctrine of Anahuac”.

Awakening is also about being able to choose. Therefore sacrifice is present in the process of awakening.

Sacrifice is the means by which we ascend in the level of the Being and the means by which we make progress in the awakening of consciousness and in the death of the ego.

It is a law because it moves circumstances within and without. Our sacrifices are assigned a value and this is paid attention to by the Law.

Falling

Falling which is also a law Master Samael says, of which we have the very physical planetary expression in the force of gravity and the planetary esoteric expression in the processes of involution.

To fall is to choose that which has an inferior good to another. Which is the exact opposite of the law of sacrifice.

When anyone falls it is because they chose something that has an inferior value to something else. In the case of human beings in the work or not in the work a fall is always when something of our ethics, values, consciousness, Being etc. is dropped for something that has a far inferior value and even for something that does not have a real place or legitimate presence.

For example, we drop our consciousness for identification with an illusion. When we fall we give the wrong thing a higher value and we give the very wrong thing a place that it simply should not have and does not deserve to have!

Conclusion

That is why we ascend with sacrifice and that is why we need to make sacrifices so to reverse the falls that we have made in the past. In other words we need sacrifice, it is hard but we simply need it. If we had not fallen we would need less of it, but because there is such a long way to climb we need a lot of it. Makes sense right! Then let us make our wise sacrifices so as to climb up once again!

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...
