Fantasy Posts: It Hurts!!!

Fantasy Posts: It Hurts!!! - (3678)

Introduction

This is where we take the gloves off and give fantasy a good beating.

We can bash it mercilessly because it is very strong, it will recover and it will fight back.

The hope is that with this bashing some of the points to be raised stay within us to be used as weapons to fight it when it fights back.

The way it fights is usually by getting us off guard.

Bashing Points

✂Afterwards it hurts giving us a head ache.
✂It saps our energies. Leaving us uncreative and dull before the events of life.
✂Wastes time.
✂Produces procrastination.

✂We lose our consciousness to absurdities.
✂Ego or egos get stronger and the fantasy habit strengthens. Vicious cycle ensues.
✂Real life becomes dull and boring.
✂We create new labyrinths in our own mind, we later have to undo.
✂We lose the moment.
✂Creates a false refuge. We comfort ourselves with fantasies only to be bitterly disappointed later on.
✂We lose ourselves as we really are.
✂We lose touch with reality.
✂We can become mentally ill and perverse.
✂We lose balance in many areas of our life.
✂We become weird, dress, talk and look weird.
✂We become introverted, always not wanting to be bothered by others so as not to be taken out of our fantasies.
✂Our priorities go astray - more into feeding fantasy.
✂It is pure stress.
✂Produces suffering! The painful fantasies do and the so-called pleasurable ones do also, as they weaken us.

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...
