Serenity – (2302)

Yet Another Precious Value

There within our essence is a value which we call serenity. In fact serenity is something that is within our Being. Our Being among many other vibrations, such as force, can emanate a profound serenity.

If we are still internally. If our mind is quiet we can begin to enter into the serenity that resides within.

This serenity is deeply nourishing and renewing for our soul and for our mind and body.

Serenity is also a formidable tool to combat any “I” as well as the rebellious mind.

Bons of Tibet

Master Samael in 1976, Mexico during an informal talk with some students spoke about the Bons of Tibet. He related that when a candidate was ready for initiation they would perform a special magical ritual which materialised the various “I’s” of the person. He said that the “I’s” of the person torture and end up killing the poor person, and very few are the ones that survive this ordeal.

Master Samael to conclude his intervention about the Bons, said that the key to pass through this ordeal is serenity.

Serenity when Facing the “I”

When we practice being serene we can really feel that serenity is a tremendous tool to help us when facing any “I” within ourselves as well as when we are embroiled in difficult circumstances.

When an ego bothers us, it is serenity that creates a buffer in us between our free essence and the ego. The more serene we are the greater this buffer is.

When serene we can see the thoughts arising and the peaceful inertia present in serenity keeps us in our position of being an observer.

The key for separation and for so many tumultuous circumstances of life is serenity. It has many of the characteristics of the element of earth in it, such as inertia which you may have seen in the paragraphs above.

Imagine a Great Lake

Imagine a very still large body of water, such as a great lake. Be like that serene lake. Embrace the inertia of that serenity that impedes from identifying with thoughts or leaving our calm state.

It is so helpful to us to cultivate serenity.

We can cultivate it at any moment in life. Actually we cultivate it much more efficiently while facing the various bothering, difficult and disturbing circumstances of life. We too can practice in meditation.

To conclude when there is separation from the mind or the “I” there is serenity.

Psychological separation, psychological inertia and calmness go hand in hand with serenity.

End (2302).

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...
