More Calm Required to Go Behind Bothersome Thoughts - (3867)

Thoughts arise left, right and centre. Some are quite bothersome. Some neutral and some positive. Some that disturb us, some that make us cringe, some that make us anxious, some that anger us, some that hurt, some that calm us, some that make us smile, some that make us look forward to things etc. etc. the list can go on.


Knowing, knowing and knowing helps. 


To get a bit behind the thought, to know a bit more where it comes from, and a bit more what makes it feel uncomfortable is what is important. That knowledge is what changes and saves the day. That has to be the only focus!


To get that knowledge we have to be calmer, quieter and more alert, but a relaxed alert.


If we can't see what's behind or in the thought we need more calm, more quiet. that's our hindrance or blind spot, not enough calm.



Thinking about it, analyzing it does not help a great deal here. That's more mental noise, which does not allow us to see. We need to perceive, to catch the meaning of the thoughts.


When the thoughts disappear, we just have to wait relaxed and alert for them to come again so to try and catch something more about them.


We think that problems are real and are outside of our mind! Gnosis says the problem is in our mind. Forget the problems and the problems disappear says Master Samael. The situation still exists but not the dimension of problem, it is the dimension of problem that bothers us the most, not the situation.


End (3867).

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...
