Utopia of Pride - "Beyond Reproach"

Utopia of Pride - "Beyond Reproach" - (2920)

Bliss of Pride

The bliss of pride is to be beyond reproach, beyond limits, beyond the law...

I think everyone who has pride or had pride can resonate with this.

Master Samael says that the "worst enemy of pride is justice".

Identified with pride we wish to be in a state where no one will say no, nor will any one reproach us, or recriminate us, limit us, apply justice to us, love us unconditionally etc.

Dictators

The tyrants and the dictators have a most enormous pride and they have created the circumstances and situations where their pride can be in 'heaven". The thing is though while their pride is 'in heaven' they create hell for others.

Our pride is like that too. We we get hurt or upset when justice is applied to us. We think that we should be granted a concession to justice. Pride often thinks that just because of us we should be granted a concession.

That is the danger of occupying a position of relative power, importance or authority, it is so easy that that pride builds up in us without us knowing and then we are living in this utopia that comes crashing down hard one day if we make mistakes etc.

Remedy

A remedy is actually to start to get use to applying justice to ourselves. Then we first of all won't get ourselves into such situations where justice is applied and eventually we will agree with the justice that others apply, if it indeed is just.

The problem is that we have a sense of justice that is based on our point of view, so we then may not agree with the justice applied to us and we can often act unjustly towards others. But if we see both sides we can get a good glimpse of the realer justice.

To be able to see justice, think, feel and act according to it, totally sends pride into the background.

End (2920).

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...
