Temples – Origins – (2643)

Introduction

This post picks up from the previous post on temples, where a list of points to do with temples was presented. This post addresses the first point in that list which is: “Origins”.

Origins

Each sacred site and sacred temple is very much related to origins. In religions a temple is usually built on a sacred site, where the sacred site was the location upon which an important happening unfolded that was instrumental in the founding of that religion.

A very good example is the Har HaBayit, the most sacred temple of Juadaism - the temple mount in the old city part of Jerusalem. It is said that the temple was built over the foundation stone where it is believed that upon this stone God created the world.

Contact the Divine Originating Force

In a temple one is always lead to come into contact with the Divine force that gave rise to that temple. Each temple contains its origin as the central feature. Often, in the temples of the religions one enters to pray to the Creator or to the prophet, saint, angel, Son of God or even God that taught the fundamental teachings of that religion.

Our heart temple is also related to an origin - our own origin, which for every human being is the Monad.

When we concentrate on our heart temple we do so mostly to come into contact with our originating intelligence.

Our originating intelligence and force knows all about us and so to enter our own heart temple is to come to know ourselves evermore.

Dedication

Each temple is dedicated to a Divine force and that Divine force is the origin of the temple. There appears to be no temple devoid of dedication or origin.

Ancient Times

In the ancient times a temple stood as the first place to search for the mysteries. The door of the temple stood to mark the beginning of the entrance to the mysteries for the neophyte. Every master of the ancient and modern times has a temple standing at the origin of his or her mastery. Because it was the mysteries hidden in the temple that allowed the neophyte to become a master.

Every temple maintains its history from its origins. The word temple relates to time and so every temple is related to the unfolding of the manifestations of its Divine originating force, which occurs of the time of its origin to now.

When the Divine originating force withdraws then the temple of course falls into ruin. Just as happen with our own interior temple. We a human being falls the superior parts of the Being, the magnesium – the Intimate Christ leaves or escapes from the altar and within a short time the temple falls into ruin more and more, the more time passes without any restorative efforts being made.

Cause of Pilgrimage

All pilgrimages are done in the hope to discover and study the origins of their religion. The maximum hope is to contact the originating forces and intelligence. No doubt the sacred site and the temple mark and house the wisdom and the force of the origins.

End (2643).

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...
