Responsibility is Human - (3823)

Responsibility is a high voltage thing. Maybe even a burden. A burden that may make us tired carrying, and for most people responsibility is a cause of some happiness. But none the less life has responsibilities so we have to find our way of making them fulfilling, worthy and enriching.


Also burdens can make us stronger, just like lifting weights eventually builds strength.


To be responsible, to take responsibility is an admirable thing. The law favours that, because it is the more dignified, logical and truthful thing to do.


To plead not-guilty when we are guilty is evading responsibility and is really undignified. 



Out of the ego and the essence, the essence is the responsible one.


The ego does not like responsibility and avoids it, even when we are the responsible ones, the instigator of the wrong. Responsibility is a way to die in the ego.


If the essence does not take responsibility for its defects at some point it will never correct them. 


To take responsibility is one of the first steps into the door to becoming a human being in the true esoteric sense of the word. The human soul is the master and it is the real human being not an intellectual animal. The master is one who has the human soul and who's life is governed by it.


That is one who now has the responsibility of upholding (living by) all those animic (human soul) principles.


"He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." Hunter S. Thompson. 


Some of the pains of being a human being is responsibility. 


One's own path is one's responsibility. If we don't take responsibility for it no one else will and when we take responsibility for it we can do something about it.


End (3823).

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...
