Why is the Intermediate Mind so Strong?

Why is the Intermediate Mind so Strong? - (2040)

Answer: Because of Will

The intermediate mind is the mind of belief and concepts.

As we can not be sure that our concepts and beliefs are true we pour our will into them as an effort to make them true.

Years of pouring our will into the beliefs and concepts of our intermediate mind make these beliefs and concepts so very strong.

The ego also uses the intermediate mind. This is very easy to know because any ego has its beliefs and its concepts. What makes our ego so very strong is the amount of trapped will it has within it.

We must become more conscious of the way in which we invest or use our will. Consciously investing our will is the start of the development of conscious will.

Conscious will is the will that can chose where and into what it will be applied.

Conclusion

The realer mind is the inner mind because it receives from the truth – our consciousness.

When we do not have access to the inner mind we then only have access to the sensual and intermediate mind and so our own will power is used as a substitute for the consciousness to try and make these concepts and beliefs true. We think and feel that if believe in them strongly enough they will come true.

Every movie nearly talks about that. Most of the time, it can come true when it is about achieving something. This is because will is used to do something and keep us constant in our tasks.

End (2040).

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...
