Believing is Seeing

Believing is Seeing - (2903)

Read Time: 1 minute 40 seconds ⌛

Introduction

Normally people say seeing is believing. That statement is for the sensory mind, for every man and his dog. But for the free essence: believing is seeing.

For example, when concentrating on water, say the ocean, we can use our imagination to become water and if we do this well we begin to see in our imagination. As, 'to be' is 'to see'.

To Be is To See

To be something we must be seeing as that something. To be a human being is complete when we see as a human being. To be a lion is complete when the lion sees as a lion, and sees itself as a lion. The two go hand in hand seeing and being. But of course being is more transcendental and is above, beyond and deeper than seeing.

This brings into account, that 'to be' is 'to see' correctly. We can not be our consciousness or essence unless we do not see it or understand that that is what we are. There are human beings that see themselves as lizards and wolves and a million other strange things. So what are they really? They are human outside but inside they are not, so they are incomplete, a physical-psychological hybrid human animal.

Stops Seeing is not Believing

What stops us from seeing our Divine Mother or the ocean or what it is that we are concentrating on is that we for moments have some disbelief. We think a thought: "that image is a memory not a new image" then as soon as we think that we stop seeing because we stopped believing or in other words stopped being the ocean. We can not afford those thoughts if you want to concentrate really.

To trust leads to seeing. Many times in life we can only really see something or see how something can work when we believe in it.

End (2903).

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...
