Gnosis Intro Points

Gnosis Intro Points - (4065)

A boring post for you all. Don't read it. It is just for my benefit, using this post as a jotting pad.

Gnosis is direct knowledge, knowledge gained from direct experience. All true knowledge is learnt this way. As real knowledge comes from the real.

Real knowledge appears in anyone when there is direct contact with the realities of life, nature and the cosmos or anything that we wish to truly learn or know.

Knowledge is not believing nor is it read about. It is experiencing and living it out. Which is very demanding. It is the point where all of us fail.

All true knowledge wishes that human beings apply it and fuse it into their Being.

One of the greatest of all endeavours in human experience is to apply what has been learnt. This is the greatest stumbling block of all human beings: not applying what has been learnt.

To apply what has been heard requires an intense level of yearning, a decisive discipline, intentional departure from excuses, expectations and concepts (many of which are false). It also requires the departure from the comfortable, from habits and implies changes...

True knowledge exists because of the real and the real is what transforms and liberates.

True knowledge has always had the qualities of empowering and liberating. How good just a little bit of knowledge can be and how dangerous just a little of knowledge can also be.

True knowledge has the power to dispel suffering and remedy what afflicts us.

It is so evident that what human beings lack the most is knowledge of ourselves. The average human being lacks so much and this we admit quietly to ourselves at night or alone in the toilet or shower.

Modern medicine shows us how we much knowledge we lack of our external selves - our body. Can you imagine if so much is lacking about our physicality how much more is lacking about our inner psychological and ontological or spiritual processes?

Yet by the very real characteristics of true knowledge, self-knowledge is the thing we need to cure ourselves and free ourselves from so much personal and collective suffering.

Society is the sum of the individual. If one individual changes then society will change. As long as the individual does not know him or herself, society will not benefit or know itself either and all the problems will continue...

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...
