Love Burns - (3886)

They say love is like a fire, an all consuming fire. Unfortunately though the down side is that love like fire burns.


So many people have been burnt out by love. They no longer want anything to do with it: "that's it for my life, I'll love my best pal - my dog, and that'll do me.", "love is too complicated and full of problems, don't need any of that at this stage of my life" are common things you hear people say. Even there are people who fell in love and allowed the fire of their love to grow so much that it made them go semi-crazy burning them all out. 


Love is meant to build and strengthen, increase one's happiness and take one closer to the sublime, but the common experience is that it hurts like hell and burns just as hellishly.



It can't be that love is wrong, it must come down to the way we use it. I guess, to not knowing how to use love towards others and oneself. 


Fire is not wrong, it is so beautiful, mysterious, spiritual, energetic and powerful, colourful and dynamic - like an alive spirit. Use it properly and it does marvels, though use it wrongly and it is supremely destructive.


So how to use it so that it does not burn - that's the question. Don't let it burn you is the answer. When it is not burning you, you won't do and say things that burn the other person.


The more educated answer from the teachings is, that the way is to move gradually with real comprehension from sensual and emotional love to conscious love.


End (3886).

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...
