How a Talisman Works

How a Talisman Works - (2564)

An Old Jacket

Have you ever had the experience of having to go through the possessions of a relative who has died? I had that experience a little while ago. As you are going through their old possessions and sorting things out - what stays and what goes, you always come across something that is just 'so them', such as an old jacket that they used so often, that they wore to so many meetings and occasions and it is impregnated with their odour and 'them', like 'their vibes'. As soon as you see, touch and smell the jacket you remember them intensely so much so that it seems that they are there with you. This is a kind of human talisman. For this talisman to work there is something of the person in the object (the jacket say) and there is also something inside of us. The magic of a talisman is that the two natures, the one in the object and the one inside of us meet and amplify each other(more the one in us) after meeting, producing a very psychological effect in us (activating our memory and love etc.).

A talisman is like the 'old jacket' talisman mentioned above except that instead of being charged with human vibrations and emanations it is charged with spiritual emanations, which appeal to us esoterically or spiritually as well as to our psyche.

Because so often we are not living in our essence we do not perceive the power of a talisman that has been charged with spiritual forces. None the less though the forces charged into the talisman are present and do help us, we just do not perceive it most of the time.

There are times though when we do perceive it and this is when we are very low or are in a negative state of mind.

Really though, a talisman is one that has been charged with a spiritual force as well as the force of the person who will be using it. Such a talisman acts to evoke in the person the same force that was used to consecrate the talisman.

For example, if a person feels weak and the talisman was consecrated with force (the planet Mars, Samael) then the talisman will be of help when the person feels weak. Just imagine if we could have asked Master Samael to consecrate a talisman of force for us. It would have been the best talisman of force ever! A ring made of iron and Master Samael consecrating it would make it the best talisman of Mars which brings spiritual strength to us.

I mentioned iron in this case, because as a metal iron is a part of the Earth that draws or channels the forces of Mars, it is said to be the metal of Mars. Just as gold is the metal of the sun and silver is the metal of the moon.

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...
