Clarifying Experiences

Clarifying Experiences - (2236)

A Distinct Difference

There is a difference between to have an experience about and to 'be experiencing'.

People have many experiences about things, for example let's say the spiritual soul, but that certainly does not mean that that person is experiencing the spiritual soul.

That person may be single and therefore has certainly not incarnated the spiritual soul, and so he or she can not be experiencing the spiritual soul here and now.

It is much better ‘to be experiencing’ than to have experiences about.

Explains the Crazy Experiences

Having an experience about something should never be confused with experiencing. So many people confuse these two things. And so we get the weekly occurrence of people just starting Gnosis or having only been studying Gnosis for a few years saying I had an experience with the human soul and the fire and the Intimate Christ, maybe I am in the initiations.

Which is not so for goodness sake. Usually missionaries and instructors can only limit themselves to remaining silent or saying maybe it was from past lives. Or either making the mistake of making the exceptions that do exist to become the norm, which is incorrect because the exceptions are the exceptions.

What I mean with the above is that there are exception that a single person can awaken the fire but that is such a remote exception. However after hearing a student recount heir experiences the missionary or instructor says: “perhaps you are there then” and then they say the same thing to the next naive student, they are then they are making the remote exception a norm, which is incorrect.

The ‘to have' can not be the base of the ‘to be’ in these terms of experiences and experiencing. But the ‘to be’ is the base of the ‘to have’. So there one has to use some logical discernment to see if it is possible within the parameters of the Gnostic doctrine for the ‘to be’ to be reasonable.

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...
