The Safe Way – Renounce Powers – (2548)

Introduction

My goodness we dream just too much of having esoteric powers for all sorts of reasons. With most of them being really stupid, vain and superficial.

Basically, we want those powers for ourselves, to use them as we wish. We want 'to be' someone else, perhaps powerful, mysterious, enigmatic, loved, appreciated, feared etc. But all of those things are not 'to be' of our Being, they are 'to be' someone else.

But is that such a wise choice? Wouldn’t it be better to renounce all of them and focus on developing our consciousness and allowing our Being to be the one who has the powers, and if it be that we ever need a power to be used, may He use it through us.

To renounce is best. That relieves us of several desires that torture us each and every day. We actually do not need them. We have lived life fine until now without them. Plus what good would powers be if we are miserable because we are still asleep and we have the ego making our inner and outer life terrible?


Lady Galadriel – Queen of the Woodland Elves

The scene in the Lord of the Rings where the elven queen Galadriel feels tempted to take the ring for herself even to do good with it but then quickly understanding that it would corrupt her and cause her fall she renounces it.

Here is the text from Tolkein's book:

“And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!”

 She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad."

After she decides not to take it, she says some magic words, which are:

 “I pass the test”, she said. “I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.”

Conclusion

See how perfect a lesson, Tolkien shows us that the best thing to do is to remain as we are, in our Being, otherwise as soon as we go out of our Being we end up being corrupted and a fall is close.

Wanting powers is wanting to become something or someone else, and that something or someone else is obviously not our Being. Anyway, the powers all come from the inner Being, so what are we doing wanting powers? It makes sense to want by working to dissolve what separates us from It. 

So it is the safest way is it not? And it brings more peace to us. Be as we are and as we can be in our Being, not desiring to be something or someone else.

End (2548).

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...
