The Mesmerising Power of the Serpent – (2700)

Snakes that Fascinate with a Glance

A very good friend of mine messaged me yesterday explaining how his father in law often spoke about, cases in the Spanish countryside, where snakes would often mesmerise birds so that they could strike so to eat them.

Obviously, birds are quick and difficult to catch so a mesmerising, hypnotic, fascinating ability would make catching one a very useful skill.

This is certainly not an isolated phenomena. Many legends and myths have spoken about the fascinating or mesmerising ability of snakes. Medusa (practically a giant snake) would turn those who looked at her to stone (permanently mesmerised), Kali the great serpent fascinates through fantasy her various victims, the legend and myths of the Basilisk who would kill with a single glance and the temping serpent of Eden are just to mention a few.

A Basilisk
Sex is very much like this, it powerfully fascinates and hypnotises…

Master Samael spoke about the sexual trance…

The hypnotic force of the ego is very much of the same hypnotising force of the kundabuffer, which we know is the sexual serpent within us projected downwards.

The hypnotic power of each ego, known also as the hypnotic grip is sexual in nature, but that sexual energy has ascended to the intellectual centre and has produced reasons and justifications. The power these reasons have over us comes from the amount of sexual force or energy that has become trapped in that ego or was used to form and strengthen that ego.

All of our egos are created with sexual energy and so the hypnotic grip of any ego comes from our sexual energy. That is from the serpent. 

Snakes are also very astute, and it is precisely he sexual force that makes us wise or very astute in evil.

Enchanted Cobras

How amazing is that phenomena of the snake charmer. How a man playing a special flute like instrument causes a terribly powerful and venomous cobra to rise vertically out a small basket as if it were like dancing and ascending at the same time, according to the flute. Its instincts of attack are all but subdued. It is passive and sways delightfully to the music played by the charmer.

This tells us something special - that snakes can indeed mesmerise, but they can also be mesmerised as well, but by a higher force.

In this case, making an analogy to sex, the spirit, the work, the essence can control and charm the sexual force so that it can be caused to ascend. If left to itself it will follow its nature, which is that of volatility, just as would a snake without the charming music being played.

It is the merits of the heart Master Samael says, that actually cause the serpent to ascend within the person. So there we go, the yearning, the honesty, the genuine love for the Being and the work enchant the fiery serpent and cause it to ascend up the spinal column.

So we all have a serpent dwelling within, and always always, the pertinent question is how are we relating to that serpent?

End (2700).

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...
