Some Fascinations End when Working an Ego

Some Fascinations End when Working an Ego - (3783)

Some fascinations that we have, remain in us until we work on, to at least a certain degree, the egos that are related to them.

That means that certain fascinations are indicators for us to work. Right! Not to get more fascinated, because that is what we normally do, keep reading or looking up or talking about, thinking that this will fix the fascination. But it doesn't really...

For example, a person maybe fascinated in a strange way accompanied by a strange flavour, with violence, thinking "How can people do that to others?", "How can that happen?", and one reads about the things that happen in war, the injuries, looks at pictures of injured people thinking "God how bad, how painful, how could or why should one die in that way" etc.

So how to fix that, well once again duality enters and oh dear, it's not nice, we find out that we have those things inside of ourselves, we have the violent doer and the violence receiver inside. We have to find them, face to face, and do our reckoning with them.

Weird Salvador Dali painting. Weird like the fascinations of our sleeping consciousness.

Until then we are going to be alarmed and horrified by violence our whole future lives, and we will be fantasying with violent elements our whole lives too.

This general principle or psychological truth can be applied to anything that we find we are fascinated with. It could be something physical but the fascination is really very psychological. Like violence is physical but its causes and impacts are psychological.

When there is no egoic elements involved, as soon as we know about something the fascination goes. For example, I was always since being a kid was fascinated by deep water oil rigs. As soon as I studied them as an adult, the fascination disappeared and only a kind of admiration for the interesting engineering involved in them is left in me. With the egoic fascination we have to work the egos involved, there is no other way to get rid of the fascination.

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...
