Curiosity Dissected

Curiosity Dissected - (3975)

An element of curiosity is not knowing yet... But it already knows something that is for sure, but it hasn't had the full experience yet.

Within curiosity is already a desire. There is already some kind of projection as subtle as it may be.

There is a kind of fascination there that lures, that brings one closer and closer.

Out of curiosity one may even forget one's own safety and well being. That is the typical element of curiosity that it is very hypnotic, we disregard danger many times for its satisfaction.

The above observation tells us many interesting things. One is that it is indeed a "I", that we identify with, and one that we forget our Being or ourselves with. We can be sure it is an "I" because we forget ourselves, only an ego makes us to forget ourselves. The proof that we forget ourselves is reflected in how we so readily overlook the dangers involved. Two, that if there is danger it can't be good. Curiosity takes us into danger, so it is not very conscious.

There are some people that are not so curious and there are some that are even more curious still. Some star signs are more curious than others.

It is a habit of the mind. One that blends in well with that nature of the mind that always looks for distraction and something new. Often we feel curious about something new. "I'm curious to just try it we say"!

The question to ask is do we need to know or experience what curiosity is looking for? That is the question isn't it? What is the answer? Often it is no! Because facts speak we are worse for wear afterwards.

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...
