Fear of Animals

Fear of Animals - (2579)

That Fear

So often you find a person who is scared of cockroaches, mice, rats, spiders, snakes, lizards, dogs, wolves, large cats and so on...

First Point

The very first point to work this fear of the animal or insect that we are scared of is, our dislike or rejection of it.

Have you noticed that the insect or animal that we fear we regard as something awful, cruel and almost evil?

Firstly though, they are not evil, they are just instinctive. Well esoterically though they may, in the wash of involution be a vehicle for some "I's" that are very nasty. Though, we also have "I's" that are just as nasty. We do not regard ourselves or others as evil so why should we regard the animal that we fear as evil?

Secondly, we can look well at the animal and find beauty in it. A lizard may look like a walking pooh to us, and it is exactly that concept of it that contributes to our fear. So then if we can change that concept we will dissolve a good part of that fear.

So we have to go close to the insect or animal that we fear and take a good look at it. Say for example a lizard, see that it does not smell and it is alive, intelligent and has a very sleek and elegant body with some very interesting patterns on it. As soon as you see some beauty, some intelligence in its design something changes in us. We can read about the animal or insect and change our concept further and further and that will certainly contribute to dissolving our fear.

There are those people on TV shows that are not scared of animals or insects mainly because they are in awe of them. Note, this fear of animals is called zoophobia.

Work on Fear Classically

Then to complete the work we must delve into the classical work on fear which is to see that we do not fear the animal or insect at all but the consequences of things going wrong when encountering them. Then the fear reduces down to the very common fear that we all work on which is the fear of pain and suffering and death. Then trust in the Being within comes as our remedy.

End (2579).

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...
