The Oscillation in the Depth of Prayer – (2311)

Depth

At times prayer to our interior divinity is of such a help, and at other times it feels mechanical.
It may well be that when prayer is like a life-line for us, it is because we are in need of connection to our interior Divinity.
When we pray we blow on smouldering embers within us. Our prayer enlivens those embers and causes them to heat up and radiate their warmth within us.
It is this warmth from these special embers, that heals us and makes prayer effective within us.
It is like that through prayer we activate within us what we need. At times, we may start our prayer feeling that we need to be guided by our interior Divinity, and it is true that we need guidance. While we pray we express how we need to be closer to our Being and feel Its guidance and in doing this we actually approach our inner Being.

Through the Being is the Almighty

When we pray it is really the Being in us praying, nourishing itself from itself. Activating inside of Itself what it needs, which is also what we need. This is in many ways is what is called to receive from the Being. The Being in within us and so It is that It gives to itself and we are part of that ‘Itself’.
Our inner Being is connected to the Absolute to the Almighty, and through our Being we can receive help from the almighty for what we need in life and in our esoteric work.

Conclusion

When we have this need our prayer has depth and when that need is filled, prayer can become mechanical, because what we require is present and vibrating within us. Perhaps then a different form of prayer is needed, such as action, psychological work, meditation, mantralisation etc.
End (2311).

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...
