Why we May Really Like a Particular Movie

Why we May Really Like a Particular Movie - (3441)

Some Movies

There are some movies that really resonate with us (not our egos), or it may not be the whole movie but just one or two scenes.

The reason for that is, is that it touches something in our essence. There is also another reason, which is that it touches something from our past.

In the case of touching the past, the movie triggers the memory of something from our past that also happened to touch our essence.

In fact our essence still remembers those things that touched it deeply. We have just lost the lived details. Deep down unaware to ourselves that we watch movies of the past especially or the future (very remote past) to remember the details.

Example

For example, Ben Hur, the scene of when he was rowing on board a Roman battle ship.

That feeling of closure - committed a crime, justice served, only one thing to do in life now is pay, serve, life is simple - just row, gazing upwards mind melts into the rhythm and sounds of the oars, in a quiet daze the pondering on life deepens while rowing. Even shackled there is a feeling of freedom coming from the essence, it hopes to set things right rowing, in the middle of the ocean, vast deep blue expanse, yet a feeling of confidence in a strong empire, grandiose and so far undefeated, even being a criminal one is still part of something great.

Times of the Past

The times from our past that activated our essence are the times of which we have intense memories of and plus they are are not so far away. We in effect in this life subconsciously strive to repeat what evoked those feelings.

The same will apply to you and your past, with particular movies. The interesting thing, to test that this is that you will concretely have a very marked tendency in this life towards those times and the activities of those times.

For example rowing. From a young child you were rowing, if there is a rowing machine you are on it, any exercise that is similar to rowing you gravitate to and find it natural etc. etc.

The reason perhaps why so many people like war movies is because they have been in war, as millions have and in war as awful so many remarkable things of the essence come out and that leaves an indelible mark on the essence. The loyalty to death, the love to save one's fellow man, enemy or friend, life long promises kept, life sacrifices, all of those very special things of the essence come out in war and those touch the essence and even though a person can not remember the lived details, the essence remembers it and sometimes we watch war movies to try and remember the details.

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...
