Idolatry of the Sexual

Idolatry of the Sexual - (4053)

An interesting point is this one.

Within the fascinating or hypnotising power that lust has is this element of idolising sex. If the hypnotic power of lust is somehow diminished the idolising of sex will also diminish.

This element explains why so many people imitate in their sexuality the impressions that are propagated here and there.

No one would care or even think about imitating something that was not of a idol like status.

Anything that is not the Being in ourselves is a false idol. The real and true idol is really our Inner Being.

There are people and that is all they talk about, because they idolise the sexual and all its ramifications, offshoots, implications and connotations etc.

There are people that most of their life revolves around sex. There are people where their inner life is nearly all about sex and the sexual, nearly all that they say has a double meaning related to sex.

It is the origin of our existence and its energy of creativity and life is everywhere and in everything but the sexual act and the sexual is not part of work at the office, or on the bus or walking in the city or driving the car or doing things at home or studying at university or at school or walking the dog down the street etc.

To give it idol status is a mistake. To give something idol status means to make it the centre of our life, to give nearly all our mind and heart to something. Sex is from the Being and is of the Being, however giving it idol status divorces it from the Being.

The correct thing to do is to give the Being idol status and then see sexuality as something for the Being and used within the Being. Then we get it right.

Well anyway the most important thing here is to see if this point of idolatry is true, and if it is, begin to reflect and see if really the idolatry of the sexual exists within us and if it does, does it have too much importance, is it is too exaggerated etc.? If it is then we have the remedy, which is to give the Being first place and see sexuality for the Being and used within the principles and qualities of the Being.

Sexual energy, sexuality, sexual act etc., all come from the Being, not that the Being comes from sex or the sexual act.

End (4053).

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...
