Ways of Self-Deception

Ways of Self-Deception - (3407)

Introduction

Master Samael says that in the ancient times those admitted into the mysteries were foremost taught all the ways of deceiving oneself, with the purpose that they would not later fall into any form of self-deception.

It certainly merits I believe to study self-deception and work on it eliminating the possibility from within ourselves.

Deceptive Arts

Self-deception is much worse than deception. Us deceiving ourselves is worse than someone deceive us.

There are many ways of self-deception.

In the end, self-deception is what 'shoots ourselves in the foot".

Self-deception as is deception, is always about not seeing the truth - not seeing the reality of things.

For there to be deception or self-deception there has to be someone, some force, some power, some intelligence malign or otherwise that orchestrates the deception.

Within us, it is easy, this deceiving power, is our mind, any ego, our subconscious and the kundabuffer.

What deceives us are mistaken reasoning and mistaken perceptions.

All that is closet to the truth avoids deception or self-deception.

A balanced vision is one that is certainly not deceived. While an unbalanced vision or perspective is making us to see only one side is what deceives us, thinking we have seen both sides when we have only seen one.

The may fantasies that we have are elements of self-deception.

We have to constantly keep close the truth and reality to see and see the real.

We get identified due to self-deception. When we stop seeing the ego as an ego and see it as the whole and authentic us we have been deceived.

We are deceived by the logic of the ego - believing it is the way things really are and that the reasons the ego presents are real and infallible reasons.

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...
