Love Posts: What is Love? - (3853)

What is love? Too hard to define it. It is so many things. I'm not going to try to give another definition of it. I'm going to rather focus on how we commonly see love and from there draw some light for improvement.


Lets speak about love from the esoteric teachings point of view. Love is something cosmic. It is something that is all around and comes to us from the heights. Love comes from the spheres of supra-consciousness. From where the Being of each one of us dwells. The Divine Mother it is said is the 'root, bud, trunk of love".


Love comes from the Absolute. Of all the planets the one which emanates the most and highest quality of love is the Sun. Love is an energy which is diffused into the whole of nature and some of those particles of love are within human beings in certain parts of their body more than in other parts. 




We have major difficulty in perceiving this love streaming from its source from way way up there somewhere. We only see its manifestations here in the physical world. This is the problem. 


We human beings always seek love but because our view is limited to the physical world and then further limited to the body, we seek it only in our body. In our heart and in our sexual organs. 


Because of love so many crazy things have been done. People are sometimes prepared to commit crimes to fulfill their love, often with love appears tragedy. So often for a person to fall in love is to fill their life with lots of complications and heart ache. It is precisely that which has burnt many people out. 


The strange thing though is that this love is the love everyone is interested in. In the lustful sensations, fascinating emotions etc. Ok ok but the things we can't avoid with this love is that it burns. It has a high price tag, and that price tag is that it hurts.


This love that burns people out is the sensual love and the emotional love. This love is a fire that we jump into and it burns us or consumes us reducing us to ashes. But there are other loves such as the conscious or divine love that do not do this. 


Conscious love has its own perspective or view and its outlook is very broad, it encompasses the source of love which is the sun, and beyond the sun - the Absolute. But a bit more closer to us, our source of love is our Being. 


This is the key because when we acknowledge that the source of love is above and beyond us, we will look for it in higher areas within ourselves and we will wish to purify the love we have to make it closer in nature to the way it is in the higher parts of ourselves.


There is love in our Being and our love comes from our Being. We can not lose love, because it is in our Being. Think about that. Our Being loves the people we like or love. 


So more about this in subsequent later posts. This will do for now, next post.

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...
