What Bodies? Isn’t there only one Body?

What Bodies? Isn’t there only one Body? - (2378)

Introduction

This is the first hurdle regarding the topic of the bodies.

Before hearing about ‘the bodies’ we believe that there is only one body – the physical body. However, the esoteric teachings say that there are several bodies available to the human being.

The reason why there are several bodies is because of the multi-dimensionality of space.

As to why there are multiple dimensions and as to why there are the specific number of dimensions that there are, is all a matter of the Absolute.

Why the Absolute unfolded Itself into creation the way it has, is something mostly unknown to us. But none the less we can still gain a kind of understanding about al of this. Read the next sub-section...

Maybe a Kabbalist could have something more to say about that, as it is really a matter of the study of the Tree of Life.

If there is a Dimension there is a Body

There are the seven dimensions in nature set up by the Law of Seven. In each of these dimensions the teachings tell us that there is ‘creation brought to life’. As ‘creation brought to life’ is a mixture of spirit and matter there must be matter and there must be spirit. The best thing to bring these two, i.e. matter and spirit together is a body.

A Body is the Crossing of Matter and Spirit

A body in any dimension brings the universal aspects of creation together. That is allows matter and spirit to be combined so that there can be created life in that dimension.

This brings us to the conclusion that if there is a dimension of creation there is a body.

Why 'Bodies' Then?

After that explanation I think we can produce an answer to the question of why there are bodies and not just one body.

The answer lies in creation being multi-dimensional. Certainly if creation only unfolded into one dimension there could only ever be one body.

The answer also has to do with the way creation unfolds. Creation unfolds via a cascade. That is from one dimension to another in that one dimension flows into another and overlaps with the other. This means that if there is anything physical, it has come to be physical by having cascaded down from the dimensions above.

All of this means that every human being has seven dimension to it. And then if every human being has seven dimensions that means that every human being can have seven bodies.

End (2378).

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...
