Temples – A Bridge and Meeting Place

Temples – A Bridge and Meeting Place – (2652)

Bridge

Each temple is like a bridge, a bridge between the outer and the inner.

In the physical world, a temple can be seen from afar by everyone, though what it holds inside it remains concealed to all.

If ever a person wanted to find the mysteries, he or she would have to seek out a temple.

To enter a temple is always to enter into the ‘inner’. The doors and threshold of a temple are a bridge that one walks across to enter into the inner.

It is said that the self-realisation is to enter a temple of the Divine Mother.

A temple is more related to the ‘Mother’, to the feminine.

Housed within the temple are the inner teachings and mysteries of the temple’s founding spirit.

It seems that always the mysteries are housed in a temple. All that holds a mystery is guarded by a temple. As each mystery is something profound and sacred.

To enter the path is to have entered into the temples of the mysteries. Each stage of the path is an entrance into a new chamber of a temple.

To enter a temple is no easy task. There are the guardians of the temples which guard the way into its mysteries.

One must have the merits to walk into a temple. Even into one’s own heart temple.

Our own heart temple too is a bridge from our outer personality to our inner layers and deeper mysteries.

Meeting Place

A temple is where those allowed entry, meet in order to receive instruction, guidance and participation in the spiritual activities of the order and to participate in one’s own particular spiritual strengthening and realising.

It is a place where we hope to meet the guru, the masters, that is, those with the wisdom and force to advise, teach and strengthen us. If we can not find the masters and the guru in the temples where else would we find them I wonder?

The same applies to our heart temple, where within it, is a meeting place for the various parts of our Being and it is where we find the advice, the answers, and strength of our inner Master, our inner guru - our inner Being. We must love our guru as well, as Master Samael says, as our guru (other than our inner Being) is the one who is the architect of the superior parts of our Being.

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...
