Individuality in Gnosis

Individuality in Gnosis - (2254)

Clarification of Terms

In Gnosis when the word individual is used, it is used to refer an inner state. Not to a person who physically stands alone.

It is more about a person who within him or herself, that is, within their own psychology, they are an individual. Meaning that their essence stands alone, separate from their egos, and to find someone like this, is a rare find.

Such a person has a sufficient enough degree of development of his or her consciousness so to be able to decide and act independently of any "I”. It does not refer to being a loner, or distant and separate from people. But to have our consciousness isolated and separate from the various “I’s” that we may have.

In More Detail

In Gnosis, individuality begins to be created within a person when the same person is separate or independent from the various interests, desires, impulses from the various “I’s” that the person has, as well as the patterns of thinking and feeling created by customs, traditions and society.

Just the Beginning

Individuality is achieved by degrees. The above is the beginning and we may say that individuality begins when a person has moved their centre of gravity from their personality to their essence. This is called the creation of the permanent centre of gravity and it is also known as the fabrication of the psychological moon.

Individuality is deepened and increases when the person fabricates the golden embryo and it develops further as the golden embryo fuses with the human soul and the other parts of the Being are incarnated.

The Path is Individual

Yes the path is individual to the degree that we each have our particular psychology bringing with us our particular strengths, weaknesses and karma. Making the tests and circumstances of our path different.

None the less the principles and laws of the path are the same for all but the path being individual does not mean that those who walk on the path must cut contact or have little to do with those who are also treading the path. It is not a reason to be isolated from everyone else.

End (2254).

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...
