Remorse Notes - (3958)

Last night I gave a talk on this topic of remorse. Here are some notes from that talk.


It is a force within us. It is also a stage of the work in the elimination of the ego.


It leads us to elimination. Its basis is a deep comprehension. For there to be remorse there must be consciousness of what has been done.


Some people have a great capacity for remorse and others have a small capacity.


What helps remorse is the comprehension that the ego in question brings pain and difficulty.


Remorse is the result of contrast, when by virtue of our efforts of comprehension or by virtue of a spontaneous grace of inner vision, our essence glimpses the superior parts of its own Being and sees their perfection, their purity, their splendour, their strength and light and feels itself deeply in error, burdened and stained. This produces the tremendous yearning often accompanied by pangs of pain to want to be like those parts.


Real remorse goes to the consciousness to correct the cause of the error - the ego, so to clean those stains and drop those heavy burdens. It is not guilt or self-compassion or emotionalism which ends up in long periods of crying.


Real remorse happily pays the karma, even actively seeks it out to pay it and is merciless on the ego which was the cause. 


Elimination is the process of removing what has been discarded by us. We discard what no longer has any use. Like a banana peel. We've eaten the banana and we have no use for the peel. When the ego is like a banana peel it is ready to be eliminated



Remorse takes us to make the ego a banana peel. Remorse comprehends the damage the ego does and engages our essence to solve the equation the ego has been used to solve for hundreds of years. 


Remorse is the emotional force that delivers the ego to the Divine Mother for elimination.


We often don't use remorse. Though we really must so to be able to have it eliminated and to deepen our resolution, our will against the ego and to deepen our comprehension of it also.


End (3958).

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...
