Some Interesting Notes on Desire

Some Interesting Notes on Desire - (5239)

Desire has many different forms. We need to know this because without knowing we can't cure anything. So they range from an life overtaking obsession to attachment, to addictive craving, to recurrent fantasy to a passing want of something.

Desire comes from the pleasant nature. We experienced a pleasant thing and so we desire it again.

Where is desire taking us? Is a good question to ask ourselves!

Desire does not satisfy us! This we have to know. We have to know this down to our bones.

Not to be driven or caught up by desire. This is our goal to do with working on desire.

Joy of renunciation. Is a good means to work on desire.

Addiction to a desire is the burden and renunciation is the freedom. We must see renunciation as the freedom. Normally we see desire as the freedom to seek comfort. But renunciation is the freedom and the joy.

Desiring everything is hell. Peace is letting things pass by.

Desire distracts, detracts and disturbs. Imagine watching all these TV commercials and desiring everything that is advertised, that would be so awful. Letting them pass by is freedom and peace.

Commercials in the mind are what harm us. Well forget TV we have commercials going on in our own mind and that is what we desire the most.

Fulfilling a desire can lead to more suffering. We need discernment to know that and find that out. Desire promises happiness but it neve delivers. We have to know this in our bones. We have enough experience to draw upon.

The worst illness to cure is the one caused by the remedy. Which is all about desire. The illness is desire but then we take the object which we desire to cure ourselves but it does not cure us. It makes us to desire more and more. So to cure desire we have to use a different remedy! Divine Mother!!!

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...
