Devil's Advocate and Objective Reason - (3809)

Tridents

Master Samael says that the degrees of objective reason are shown as tridents on the horns of Lucifer.


Each of these degrees has a particular name. Master Samael in the Pistis Sophia gives the esoteric name for each degree. The highest degree is the sixth trident and it has the sacred name: Anklad.


Why Lucifer?

Because at that stage of having finished the great work the Typhon is now Lucifer because the ego has been dissolved and His function as trainer is now redundant and His new role is to bring light, which is essentially higher degrees of objective reason. 


Before being Lucifer, He is the Typhon that helps us to develop the objective reason. Basically through temptation. 


Devil's Advocate

Temptation is like the work of the devil's advocate. The Devil's advocate is a term used to describe the role of a cardinal or bishop who while a new pope is being selected has the job of bringing up all the points to oppose each candidate from being pope.



Temptation brings up all the good points of the ego and all the apparent bad points of the work and presents them together with beguiling and convincing force.


Temptation

Temptation is there to entice the one under temptation into action. Before the action, temptation is encountered as a tremendous intellectual and emotion battle. This is where objective reason is born! In the fight, in the struggle. 


The power of the struggle forces one to dive deep into their own essence to find reasons from the essence itself to not fall into that temptation. Which are reasons beyond time, money, energy, convenience, inconvenience etc.


When the struggle or fight is intense, superficial, intellectual reasons from our mind even though they are very wise and totally correct just don't cut it. Reasons that are effective and sufficiently powerful  must be drawn down deep from our own essence. Because only such reasons have the power to defeat the intense temptations.


These reasons that we extract from our own essence are objective reasons.


For there to be temptation there must always be a reason to not fall into it. Temptation makes you find our very own essence-Being reasons, which are objective reasons.


Each temptation is a storm and it ends when the reason to flunk into the temptation is made void, or passes or is irrelevant or is surpassed etc. 


Vaya vaya la tentación.


End (3809).

  1. The degrees of objective reasoning belong to the Being right? How does the Being ascend across these degrees?

    1. Right - it belongs to the Being. The Being does the work in us. After the third mountain as death in deeper levels, for example, in memories and the residues of the egos and in conquering the mind the Being ascends in those degrees.

    2. One more thing...

      Does ascension across these degrees of objective reasoning correspond to the Being rising in the cosmic hierarchy, i.e. from angel to archangel to virtues to potencies, dominions, thrones, etc. ?

      Or is that something different?

      What comes to mind are the Thrones who threw themselves into the abyss...

    3. Those degrees of objective reason are something different. Something higher. The degrees from angel to archangel etc are acquired in the second mountain as one moves through the Labours of Hercules.

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...
